The left constantly calls people racists who aren't racists. The left constantly calls people who don't agree with transgenderism hateful.


And Antisemitic people hide behind Zionism to hide their hate. I don't call people racist unless they are racist. The left says everything you do as a white person is racist. I call people racist if they are actually racist. The same holds true for Antisemitism. If you don't believe the Jews should have a homeland that they can defend, and name their own capital, that's Antisemitic.
 
The ever-expanding definition of replacement theology. Just call it what it is: anything that doesn't agree with Pharisaical eschatology.

Replacement Theology
is the Christian doctrine that the Church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people, fulfilling the old covenant through the new covenant of Jesus. It suggests that the universal Church, rather than the Jewish people, is now the true Israel. This viewpoint holds that the Mosaic covenant is superseded.

This definition has been the same since before Martin Luther preached against the Jews. It hasn't expanded or changed.
 
National corporate repentance was a fact under the old covenant because that covenant was about an earthly people, but there's not a single example under the new covenant because it's about a spiritual, heavenly people.

Dispys are stuck in the old covenant and can't see new covenant realities because they believe what the pharisees did/do. It's impossible to believe what they believe and believe the faith of Christ.
"Dispys are stuck in the old covenant and can't see new covenant realities"

Wrong. First of all "dispys" is a bogus pejorative. The correct term would be "believers in prophecy fulfillment".
And YES, prophecy is fulfilled in PHASES in accord with God's TIMETABLE.
For example the Coming of Christ precisely 173,880 days from the command of Artaxerxes 445BC.

Secondly, the fulfillment of the New Covenant has DIFFERENT ASPECTS in consideration of the "who" and the "when" of receiving it.
A Biblically supported nuance that seems to be far above the pay grade of the Biblical illiterate deniers.

Thirdly, these DIFFERING ASPECTS hard "hard wired" into the Biblical narrative both OT and NT.

For example the story of Ruth and Naomi and the Kinsman Redeemer.
The Kinsman marries the gentile bride Ruth, Naomi obtains her land, title, and secures her future in it.

There are many other examples of this "hard wired" codified (and actually written in code BTW) support for the future for National Israel in the New Covenant. I have posted them already. You have seen fit to ignore them with prejudice.

*********************************************************************

The book of Book of Ruth is often taught devotionally, but it also serves as a prophetic type — illustrating the distinction between national Israel (Naomi) and a Gentile bride (Ruth) while showing how both ultimately share in covenant blessing.

Below is a structured summary along those lines.

1️⃣ Naomi — A Picture of National Israel
Her Condition

Famine in Bethlehem → departure from the land

Loss of husband and sons

Emptiness (“Call me Mara”)

No redeemer operating on her behalf yet

Prophetic parallel:

Israel scattered among the nations

Spiritual barrenness

Under discipline

Covenant promises dormant but not cancelled

Naomi is not replaced — she is restored.

2️⃣ Ruth — A Picture of the Gentile Church
Her Identity

A Moabitess (outside covenant privilege)

No legal claim to Israel’s promises

Comes purely by grace

Personally chooses Naomi’s God

“Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.”

Prophetic parallel:

The Church comes from the nations

Saved apart from land or national promise

Brought near by grace, not genealogy

Gains intimate relationship to the Redeemer

Ruth is not given Israel’s national inheritance — she is given a bride’s position.

3️⃣ Boaz — The Kinsman-Redeemer

Boaz redeems:

The land (Naomi’s inheritance)

The bride (Ruth)

This mirrors Christ as:

Redeemer of Israel’s covenant promises

Bridegroom of the Church

But note the nuance:

Naomi’s inheritance is land-based and covenantal

Ruth’s inheritance is relational and marital

Different spheres, same Redeemer.

4️⃣ How Both Fulfill the New Covenant — Differently

The New Covenant (Jeremiah 31) is made with “the house of Israel and Judah.”

In this typological reading:

🇮🇱 Naomi (Israel)

Receives restoration to inheritance

Experiences covenant faithfulness

Ultimately rejoices when the child (Obed) is born

Ends full — not empty

This parallels:

National repentance

Regathering to land

Kingdom blessing

Davidic throne fulfilled

🌎 Ruth (Gentile Church)

Receives personal redemption now

Enters intimate union with the Redeemer

Bears fruit through grace

Is brought into the lineage of David

This parallels:

Spiritual regeneration

Union with Christ

Heavenly identity

Co-heirship through grace

5️⃣ The Nuanced Differences
Naomi (Israel) Ruth (Church)
Earthly inheritance Heavenly calling
National covenant Spiritual union
Land restored Bride relationship
Prophetic fulfillment in kingdom Present spiritual fulfillment
Public national redemption Personal redemptive intimacy

Both share redemption — but the purpose differs.

6️⃣ The Larger Prophetic Pattern

Ruth takes place “in the days when the judges ruled” — a time of chaos.

Many dispensational teachers see the pattern:

Israel in discipline (Naomi bitter).

A Gentile bride called out (Ruth).

The Redeemer revealed.

The land restored.

Joy in Bethlehem.

Davidic line secured.

In that framework:

The Church age corresponds to Ruth gleaning.

Israel’s national restoration corresponds to Naomi’s fullness.

Both converge in the Davidic Kingdom.

7️⃣ The Main Truth

God does not cancel promises.
He fulfills them according to their original intent.

Israel is restored as a nation.

The Church is joined as a bride.

The Redeemer secures both.

Different roles.
Different spheres.
One covenant faithfulness.
One Redeemer.
 
Zionists constantly call people who disagree with them antisemitic. It's no different than the woke left calling people who disagree with them, transphobic, or fascist, or nazis, etc ad infinitum. Same exact spirit.
I care not for empty pejoratives, name calling and labels. Churlish and childish.
What I DO care about is objective Biblical truth.

And the objective Biblical truth is that so-called "Futurism" (actually "prophetic fulfillment eschatology") has ALL of the right answers.

So now the ball is in your court. Explain if you can these crucial UNTIL statements.

Act 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Act 3:21
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Luk 13:35
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.

Luk 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Rom 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Look at who was behind Communism. The same people invented "politically correct" speech (self censorship), consistently use Orwellian double-speak, and make a habit of accusing others of their own sins. Even the term "replacement theology". It is the Zionist theology which tries to replace God's chosen people - Christians - with the Christ-hating Pharisees. These are the ones pushing a replacement theology, but have the audacity to make this accusation against others.

You know people are waking up..... I am so thrilled.

I listened to awake Christian podcaster asserting that all of what is being revealed (E***n etc.,) is part of the calculation to get the world to hate them and have the world destroy itself, I wonder what entity wants that to happen,......oh yeah.

True believers need to be smarter... Jesus clearly stated THIS generation.
Seriously the time stamps are throughout the NT!!

1 John 2:18: "Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour" (ESV).

It's so nice not to be censored every other word or sentence for speaking the truth (because the truth is now more mainstream). A little more dangerous, as it now seems to be a crime in more places, but that's across the board for Christians in the West.

Luke 21:24 means that the city of Jerusalem will be trodden down by the nations until Christ returns with the resurrected Israel. Until that time it is called Sodom and Egypt (Revelation 11:8).

I worry it is just a matter of time, but maybe not. They say the constant worry for the "ruling" class is how to keep us peasants under control.
Christians we given a responsibility to be salt, light and preach the true Good News, the one that sets people free and yet I feel the church has succumbed to the various massive psyops. It is really tragic.
 
Acts 1:11 and 3:21 will be fulfilled when Jesus returns at the resurrection
Aaahhhh yes the Second Coming.

Now tell us (if you can) who exactly is Christ "coming" for?
WHY is He coming?
WHEN is He coming?
WHERE is He coming (the exact location of "touchdown")
HOW is He coming?

And what if anything does the Church have to do with it?

The astonishing fact is that @Beekeeper @HeIsHere @ChristRoseFromTheDead @Charlesiii
do not even comprehend the Second Coming, its timing, its purpose, nor the prophecy it fulfills!

And they will not (because they cannot) answer those most basic, simple questions!

Zionists call people Antisemitic when they show that they are. It is not the same as leftists. Leftists tell white people they are all racists no matter what they do and there is nothing they can to do "atone" for or change it. Zionists call people Antisemitic when the blame the Jews for all the worlds problems while at the same time saying they control the entire world. When people say they " aren't real Jews" or they don't have a right to a homeland and to defend it. If those are your beliefs you're Antisemitic. There are people who are actual racists, being white doesn't make you racist, that is what the left says.
 
Zionism is not Christianity; it is pharisaism because that is what the pharisees believed. Christian pharisees try to win their arguments and shut down dissent with slander and slurs.
