Its a lost cause. Evangelicals will never give up the man made zion idea. Despite Revelation saying GOD brings his holy city DOWN FROM HEAVEN. imo, all sides are building a throne for the antichrist.
And if you believe trying to actively bring about the second coming is a good idea? Will refer you to Amos "Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord".
The promises don't apply unbelieving Jews. They apply to those who have been baptized into Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:26-29 "You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise."
God's promise to the Jews who worship Moloch and the star of their god Rephan is exile.
Acts 7:43 "And you took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them; and I will remove you beyond Babylon.'"
This, as quoted by Stephen was a history lesson and a reminder that they had not always followed God's law. Later in this very section it is pointed out that godly Jews buried him.
Acts 7:58
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
The promises don't apply unbelieving Jews. They apply to those who have been baptized into Jesus Christ.
I’m curious if Starlink is going to have anything to do with it..
Right now, antichrist systems and actors could be in anything, though.
Here’s a good question, I both think we need to act in some capacity because the cavalry isn’t coming, and that we need to wait on The Lord. How might those two statements be rectified?
Even just the idea that God said "these things will happen before Revelation" and so then some weirdos think "OK so we'll make all of those happen, so Revelation will start" is retarded.
God didn't give you an instruction set to start Revelations, dummies.
That's mainly because they think that Apocalypse means something special, like ""End of the World"", and because many have bought into the whole ""Rapture"" Mumbo Jumbo, and to top it all off, they really don't Read very well, nor do they cross reference much of anything.....
We see this level of empty Heads on the Dot-Wins all the time....
It's a Protestant thing, and totally based upon one Passage, pretty much nothing else::
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The main problem I see is that although God can do anything, even transform a Body into pure Energy, what would be the use, of doing that, when the Body is Dead in Sin, and all the Sins are of the Flesh. therefore possibly transforming the Sins into pure Energy also???
Especially now that I know that Repentance, as given by example by God, simply means to Change your Mind....
And there's this::
Romans 8:10—"Christ is in you". "But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness."
Not to derail the Thread, but surely, others know this also....

God’s promises to Israel are still in effect. Maranatha quickly is appropriate.

Romans 3 answers this quite nicely: https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rom/3/1/s_1049001
This Is not entirely accurate, please read Romans 9 - 11 with an open mind. https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rom/9/1/s_1055001,

Hmm.
I think we should oppose mandates from men and also wait on the Lord in regards to His Kingdom.

Agreed.
The Rapture stuff reaaaaaally bothers me.
It's a Protestant thing, and totally based upon one Passage, pretty much nothing else::
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
