And so it was prophesied to be to point to the one that soon will be. Well friend I do wish you well and agree to disagree
Just stop judging this israel as a counterfeit its not true and that's not Christian.
Naw I don’t need to stop staring me opinion in a discussion forum . God will do things his way as he foretold . Not like what’s happening in this world your looking at still
“Jesus said, “
My kingdom is not of this world.
If
it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews.
But now
my kingdom is from another place.””
John 18:36 NIV
The old covenant is broken this world doomed Gods kingdom is a new heaven and earth where Israel’s tribes will be restored who accept thier messiah.
It was never going to be established by war and bombs but by the coming of the messiah and tbier acceptance of him thier king ……who they rejected and accused and condemned to death on a cross
Do you ever read parables?
“Last of all,
he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. “But when
the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “
Therefore,
when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.” Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’ ?
“
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.””
Matthew 21:37-44 NIV
“Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. But
the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. “
What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!””
Matthew 27:15, 20-23 NIV
“Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.” But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!””
Luke 23:15-16, 18, 20-21 NIV
Some here haven’t actually read the old covenant and the wrong idea because they won’t accept this part
“
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: and
they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.”
Deuteronomy 28:45-46 KJV
they killed his prophets he sent to call them to repentance persecuted his servants and righteous he preserved . Bother the early prophets and latter messianic prophets . They rejected them . Finally he sent the long awaited messiah and they rejected and constantly tried to find a reason to accuse him in order to condemn him.
eventually he said he was the son of God and they all said he was worthy of death all thier keasers and rulers that oreoteeented them before God all decided Jesus thier king was a blasphemer and needed to be killed for his terrible sin .
That was thier Hope and still is today they broke thier covenant he made a new one with them not about the same promised land that’s desolate
