Okay.
And so
in Isaiah 5:7, it informs us that "For
the VINEYARD of the LORD of hosts is the house
OF ISRAEL..."
Agreed?
Further, do we agree on the biblical definition of "Israel"?
Where it says He will "let out
HIS VINEYARD [unto other husbandmen...]," let us stick to the definition the Bible itself supplies for us (as stated above, where I quoted what
Isaiah 5:7 informs us regarding such); This will aid a proper understanding.
Many of us understand this last verse (in view of the entire passage), when speaking of "a nation" here, refers to "Israel" of a future time, that is, the BELIEVING remnant of Israel (for example, "
the 144,000 of all the tribes of the children OF ISRAEL [i.e. one 'nation']" (in the future TRIB yrs) who will render the fruits "thereof"/ ...
OF THE VINEYARD / ISRAEL (..."in their seasons"--I see this phrase used
2x in Scripture:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=in+their+seasons&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1 ... which is enlightening, as I see it.)
But
did you ever actually read the parable and take in what it’s saying though lol ? what’s Jesus saying to them in that parable ?
“Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same is become the head of the corner: This is the Lord's doing, And it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
Matthew 21:33-43 KJV
it doesn’t seem like your willing to actually acknolwedge what he’s saying to them I’m not sure this is going to be worth our time can you acknowledge what Jesus is talking about right there
“O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how
often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
Luke 13:34-35 KJV
“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.”
Matthew 22:2-10 KJV
ABrahams covenant is this
“As for me, behold,
my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.”
Genesis 17:4 KJV
and his children are born here
“Now to
Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to
thy seed, which is Christ.
For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:16, 27-29 KJV
the covenant made with the children of Israel is this one spoken by Moses
“
These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab,
beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.”
Deuteronomy 29:1 KJV
“And in it have I put the ark, wherein is
the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.”
2 Chronicles 6:11 KJV
This is what God said would happen
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and
will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.”
Deuteronomy 31:16 KJV
“Behold,
I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: and
a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.”
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 KJV
this is what he said happened through the prophets
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because
they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. …..The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”
Isaiah 24:5, 20 KJV
And so he promised to make a new covenant that’s not according to the other one they broke
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although
I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:”
Jeremiah 31:31-32 KJV
I’m not sure why we should just reject what it says refuse to accept it and then argue against what’s there
Its almost like people don’t read the scriptures others post
It’s not about anyone “ replacing them “ it’s about no longer is israel the sole nation chosen by God they aren’t different anymore thier flesh and blood means nothing now they have to repent and believe the gospel like anyone else on earth
But I’ve learned here sometimes people just are sure of what they think even if the bible is explaining the opposite it’s hard sometimes tomlewrn a new thing even if it’s plain , if we are convinced we can’t be wrong
