Re: Israel in prophecy?
Why is it I wonder that we seem to go over the same discutions over and over?
If the writers of the new testement realized that the seed of Abraham was speaking not of the natural seed but rather the spiritual seed of Christ and the promises were not natural but spiritual why then do we keep going back to the supposed natural physical promises of Abraham to try and prove that the natural seed still must receive natural fulfillment of OT promises?
During OT times the seed of Isreal did in fact become nations, and they did become rich, just look at Solomons kingdom in all its glory. Just how many people does it take for a tribe to be a nation? At the time of the Egypt exudus the tribes of the children of Isreal could be concidered a nation in their own right.
I could go on but to those that don't wont to see this will never accept things as they are for they are like the religious leaders of christ time. Still looking for a physical kingdom where they will rule the world. and we know what happened to them.
