Oh for heaven sake you have read Romans right?

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. (RAPTURE)

THEN:

Rom 11:26 (END TIME REDEMPTION TO THE NEW COVENANT)
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Rom 11:27 (END TIME REDEMPTION TO THE NEW COVENANT)
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

I have read it, for heaven's sake. :D

It was written to the believers in Rome at the time, not to you or me. ;)
There is that audience relevance again, impossible to escape.
 
I could not agree more.

Although, I will say even as a new believer many years back when fellow believers (dispensationalists to the extreme) were saying there was this gap in the Book of Daniel between the 69th and 70th week of 2000 years, I was very suspect, it just did not make sense to me, but I tucked it away because I trusted them.

That was a mistake.

Live and learn. We are stronger for it, I guess. At least it will be on record in the books in heaven that we overcame the beast

So now you tell me the intended audience. Let me help you: JEWS who reject Him....until they RECEIVE HIM at the DOTL.

While Paul provides the theological "how," Jesus provides the prophetic "when." Jesus used specific "until" statements to mark the period of Israel's setting aside and to signal the conditions for their end-time restoration.
Here are the primary "until" markers in the Gospels:

1. The Proclamation of the Messiah
In one of his most poignant moments, Jesus laments over Jerusalem. He declares that the city will not see Him again until their heart-posture changes from rejection to welcome.

Matthew 23:38–39: "Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’"

The Meaning: Jesus ties His physical return to a specific national turning point: Israel must voluntarily welcome Him using the Messianic greeting from Psalm 118:26.

2. The Times of the Gentiles
During His discourse on the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the age, Jesus speaks of a specific period of Gentile dominance over the holy city.

Luke 21:24: "They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."

The Meaning: This implies a definitive expiration date. Once the "times of the Gentiles" reach their conclusion, the "trampling" stops, signaling a return of Jerusalem to Jewish stewardship in the prophetic timeline.

3. The Restoration of the Kingdom
After the resurrection, the disciples—still operating under the Hebrew prophetic worldview—asked if the kingdom would be restored to Israel now. Jesus’ answer was not "No," but "Not yet."

Acts 1:6–7: "Then they gathered around him and asked him, 'Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He said to them: 'It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.'"

The Meaning: By saying the Father has "set the dates" for this restoration, Jesus validates that the restoration of the kingdom to Israel is a scheduled event on the Father’s calendar, though the timing remains hidden.

When looking at the theology of the Apostle Paul, the definitive "hub" for the future of Israel is found in Romans 9–11.

While many of his letters focus on the inclusion of the Gentiles, these chapters specifically wrestle with God’s remaining promises to the Jewish people.

Here are the key passages where Paul outlines the redeeming destiny of the nation:

1. The Irrevocable Calling
In the climax of his argument, Paul explains that despite Israel’s current "hardening," God’s initial choice of them remains technically and spiritually intact.

Romans 11:28–29: "As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable."

2. The "Fullness" and "All Israel"
Paul describes a sequence of events: a partial hardening happens to Israel until the "full number of Gentiles" comes in, which then triggers a massive restorative event for the Jewish nation.

Romans 11:25–26: "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved."

3. Life from the Dead
Paul suggests that the return of Israel to God's favor isn't just a minor event; it is the catalyst for the final resurrection or a global spiritual awakening.

Romans 11:15: "For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?"

4. The Olive Tree Metaphor
Paul warns Gentile believers against arrogance, using the imagery of an olive tree. He notes that while some "natural branches" (Israel) were broken off, God has the power and the intent to graft them back in.

Romans 11:23–24: "And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again... how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!"

Since we've already looked at the core of Romans 9–11 and Jesus' "until" statements, we can look at some of Paul’s other letters where he reinforces the same theme: that God’s covenant with the physical descendants of Abraham is a bridge to the end-times, not a closed chapter.

Here are further insights from Paul regarding Israel's redeeming destiny:

1. The Physical Heritage and the Covenants
In the beginning of his "Israel section," Paul lists the specific advantages that belong to the ethnic nation. He uses the present tense ("they are"), indicating these rights weren't revoked when the Church began.

Romans 9:4–5: "They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen."

2. The Deliverer from Zion
Paul quotes Isaiah to prove that the final "salvation of all Israel" isn't just a spiritual metaphor, but a literal fulfillment of a covenant regarding the removal of sin from the nation.

Romans 11:26–27: "And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come from Zion; he will banish ungodliness from Jacob'; and 'this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.'"

3. The Hope of the Resurrection
In his defense before Agrippa, Paul clarifies that his entire ministry and the "hope" he preaches are actually the fulfillment of the promise made to the twelve tribes. He sees the Gospel not as a departure from Israel's destiny, but as the only way to reach it.

Acts 26:6–7: "And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day."
Summary of Paul’s "Redeeming Destiny" Logic
Paul’s argument follows a "How Much More" logic (a < b) to show that Israel's future restoration will eclipse their past importance:
The Fall (a): Israel’s temporary rejection led to the riches of the Gospel going to the Gentiles.
The Restoration (b): If their "stumble" did that much good, their "full inclusion" will bring about something even more massive—global resurrection.

A Final Thought from Paul:

Paul concludes his entire 3-chapter deep dive into Israel’s destiny not with a lecture, but with a hymn of praise (Romans 11:33): "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!" He was overwhelmed by the "chess move" God made—using Israel’s rejection to save the world, and then using the saved world to provoke Israel back to Himself.

Oh which audience huh? Ok so which audience?

The preterists and historicists are holding an empty bag while they prattle on about biblically illiterate fantasies of their own making. Fact.

Mat 24:15 - When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mat 24:16 - Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Mat 24:21 - For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mat 24:29 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:


Mat 24:30 - And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And what does that have to do with the Redemption of the Nation Israel to glorious service in the millennium?

You quoted this: "
Israel will be redeemed, reconstituted, and then recommission to do their original assignment, acting as God's priests to the gentile world.And they will. This time, unfailingly, and be blessed for it. "

If a gentile is made into a king,priest,and a pillar in the temple of the Lord then what is their purpose during the millennium?

Here they are...in the mezzanine looking down. From heaven. Occupied with their worship of the Lord Jesus. Post rapture. But pre-trib. That starts on chapter 6.

Any more questions?

10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

[Rev 5:8,-14 KJV]
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. ...

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:5
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Any Israelite/gentile who has not worshipped the beast,nor his image,neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,or in their hands
will live and reign with Christ a thousand years.

I have to go for now.can you explain how u separated the Israelites from the gentiles in your claim?

You don't understand the doctrine of the tribulation saints either? Please hit the books. This effort at constantly correcting you is getting embarrassing for me.

[1Co 15:23-24 NKJV]
23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those [who are] Christ's at His coming.

24 Then [comes] the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

The "Harvest" Metaphor
To Paul’s Jewish audience, the "First Resurrection" wasn't a single event but a season.

The Firstfruits: A single sheaf (Christ).
The General Harvest: The main crop (The Church).

The Gleanings: The leftover crops gathered at the very end of the season (The Tribulation Saints).

By including the Revelation 20 saints in this "order," the New Testament completes the picture: no one who belongs to Christ is left behind in the grave before the Millennial Kingdom begins.

All a part of the resurrection, the first.
All in orders and ranks according to the sequence of God's REDEMPTIVE PLAN UNFOLDING through the ages.
And BTW, if you care to notice, the Bible speaks to these various RANKS and CATEGORIES of the saints, giving
them various and different office, roles and responsibilities and hierarchy.

It just so happens that the pre-trib rapture Church (epitomized by the 24 elders, who have ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED and glorified before the tribulation ever begins) enjoys a particularly lofty and glorious rank, as being union-ed with the Bridegroom and attending to Him at His side for eternity is truly unique.

Rev 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Rev 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Daniel was petitioning God about the restoration of Jerusalem and its temple

Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. Daniel 9:17-19
God confirmed that Jerusalem would be rebuilt, and also revealed the timeline for the fulfillment of all promise and prophecy to Israel. Israel's transgressions were to be finished, the power of sin would be ended, reconciliation for iniquity would be accomplished, everlasting righteousness would be established, vision and prophecy would be sealed up (fulfilled), and the most holy, ie, Christ, the true temple of God, would be anointed, which all happened in the 70th week.

Jesus prophesied the end of the natural order, yet Christians infected with the dispensational mind-pathogen are compelled through weak faith to disbelieve that and make the 70th week about themselves (saying it pertains to their time) and physical things, rather than eternal and spiritual things, which were the whole point of the Gabriel's vision: the heavenly temple and Jerusalem that endure matter, whereas their temporary earthly shadows don't and would be destroyed to make way for the new.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:21-24


It was based on whether they would cease sinning and no intent the messiah

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭9:24-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

They haven’t been able to make thier sacrifices in almost two thousand years

the problem is they don’t recognize Jesus or listen to what he said

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.”
‭‭John‬ ‭2:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

we have to reject tbat in order to be waiting for God to raise up the temple again but it’s not longer about man made temples for God or a Mount in Jerusalem

“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father……
…But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:23-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There will be no man made temple anymore where god dwells the new and restored Jerusalem will have no temple and isnt on this earth yet


“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

that’s what Jesus said his body was the temple that god would raise up when it was destroyed

we have to look at the prophets through the gospel and nt revelation n order to understand it God is restoring his people through the gospel his people aren’t any particular flesh but any believer he’s already raised up his temple the tabernacle of David already the son of man has come but they didn’t recognize any of it because they wouldn’t listen to what he was saying

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Ben almost 2000 years since rome destroyed Jerusalem and its temple . The restoration in the nt isn’t about this earth it’s about Gods promises for ages now

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. ( no matter how many people try to make it be remembered it’s not going to be ) But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:17-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men….. ( this present world is reserved for that purpose)

Nevertheless we,( believers ) according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:7, 13‬ ‭

Because that’s what he’s been promising isreal first and then every believer as well

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66:22‬ ‭

All things new even the promised land

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:13-14, 16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God (he dwells in jesus the true temple ) is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

"which all happened in the 70th week."

False. And easily proven so mathematically.
173,880 days to 10th Nisan 33AD so-called (and wrongly!) triumphal entry.....exactly 69 weeks of years.

1. The start date

The prophecy begins:


“From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem…”​

That decree is in Nehemiah 2, issued by
Artaxerxes I


The decree was given:


1 Nisan, 444 BC
(March 5, 444 BC on the Julian calendar)​

This is the only decree that:


  • authorized rebuilding Jerusalem itself
  • not just the Temple

2. The length of the prophecy

Daniel says:


7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks​

Each “week” = 7 years


So:
69 × 7 = 483 years


Daniel uses 360-day prophetic years


So:
483 × 360 = 173,880 days


3. Count forward

Start date:


March 5, 444 BC

Add:


173,880 days

You arrive at:


March 30, AD 33

Which is:


10 Nisan, AD 33

4. The end date

10 Nisan, AD 33 is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King —
the Triumphal Entry recorded in the
Gospel of Luke 19:28–44.


That is the exact day Messiah officially presented Himself to Israel.

"and make the 70th week about themselves (saying it pertains to their time)"

False. All of us pre-trib pre-millennialists do NOT believe anything of the sort.
Our tenure and commission is complete BEFORE the 70th week ever begins!

Oh......and BTW, if you did not know (I'm sure you don't!), Daniels prophecy concerns ONLY ISRAEL and Israel alone.
It has absolutely zero to do with the Church age.

Dan 9:24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM).

Can you give me a quick run down on what the Scofield Bible is?

Here's an example of Scofield's poisonous teachings. This is part of the footnote at the bottom of Acts 2 in which Peter said the Joel 2 prophecy about the last days was being fulfilled before their eyes. By that he meant the last days of natural Israel, whether he knew so or not. But Scofield has it exactly backwards by stating the last days of the church began with the Christ's 1st appearance (wut?) and the last days of Israel will be at his 2nd coming. It's just bizarre error that will really screw up a new believers' mind and subvert their faith, as it did to mine.

"which all happened in the 70th week."

False. And easily proven so mathematically.
173,880 days to 10th Nisan 33AD so-called (and wrongly!) triumphal entry.....exactly 69 weeks of years.

1. The start date

The prophecy begins:


“From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem…”​

That decree is in Nehemiah 2, issued by
Artaxerxes I


The decree was given:


1 Nisan, 444 BC
(March 5, 444 BC on the Julian calendar)​

This is the only decree that:


  • authorized rebuilding Jerusalem itself
  • not just the Temple

2. The length of the prophecy

Daniel says:


7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks​

Each “week” = 7 years


So:
69 × 7 = 483 years


Daniel uses 360-day prophetic years


So:
483 × 360 = 173,880 days


3. Count forward

Start date:


March 5, 444 BC

Add:


173,880 days

You arrive at:


March 30, AD 33

Which is:


10 Nisan, AD 33

4. The end date

10 Nisan, AD 33 is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King —
the Triumphal Entry recorded in the
Gospel of Luke 19:28–44.


That is the exact day Messiah officially presented Himself to Israel.

So using your calendar straightforwardly without the gap, we get to AD 40.
That gets us into a time when Christ is risen.

Have the goals in Daniel 9:24 of the seventy weeks been fulfilled at that time?

1. to finish the transgression, and
2. to make an end of sins, and
3.to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to
4.bring in everlasting righteousness, and to
5.seal up the vision and prophecy, and to (see Luke 16:16)
6. anoint the most Holy.

Yes, Jesus had already fulfilled all of that by AD40.

That is really messed up!
 
Why would anyone agree to a baseless, ignorant opinion bereft of the slightest Biblical support?
And why would anybody conjure up bogus doctrine so whimsically and contemptuously and then try and sell it?

Here is my quote:
"So Gentiles believers who were once strangers to the commonwealth of Israel are now one with Jewish believers in Christ. There is no middle wall of partition between them and they are not foreigners, fellow citizens in the household of God."

Now slow down and read the passage I was referring to:

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being ALIENS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL, and STRANGERS from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath BROKEN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN US;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of TWAIN ONE NEW MAN, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and FOREIGNERS BUT FELLOW CITIZENS with the saints, and of the household of God;

Can you see the connection now?
