Excerpt from an article in the Washington Post 10/22/24: "But Abercrombie & Fitch developed an unsavory reputation during the Jeffries era, which began in 1992 when he was appointed CEO by Les Wexner, the L Brands chief behind similarly lascivious mall stalwart Victoria’s Secret and Jeffrey Epstein’s best-known client. (Wexner spun off Abercrombie into a separate company in the late 1990s.)"
Les Wexner? Mike Jeffries? Birds of a feather flocking together?
Ark needed for the new covenant? Yes but not in the same fashion as the Old Covenant! Think Jesus...
An interesting word in the Bible is “propitiation.” It is often translated “mercy-seat.” There is a connection between the imagery of the Old Testament system, and our Savior’s role in the redemption of man.
“And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies; having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally” (Heb. 9:3-5).
What is the significance of this? In the New Testament Christ, is designated as our “propitiation.”
“being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God” (Rom. 3:24-25; emphasis added).
Jesus is the covering for sin, as previewed by these Old Testament prophetic images. By means of his death, and our response to the requirements of “the faith” system, all our past sins are covered.
Later in Romans, Paul pinpoints precisely when this occurs.
“Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:3-4).
Yes I've heard that's a possibility. Or it's buried under the Temple mount.....or well I believe there's a couple more theories that are thrown out there. I told my wife it she ever runs across a box, at a garage sale, covered in gold, with two angels on the lid to let me know!!!
Crypto jew? He just might have been:
Thanks for your excellent summary! When I read comments such as yours I am encouraged in my faith. I realize that I'm not alone in how I view the broad scope of scripture.
I've been in "the Way" for about 42 years. Sadly, for the 1st 20 years of my Christian walk I was a dispensationalist. In fact I taught dispensationalism to junior high, high school and college age young people. I can't believe I missed the clear teachings of scripture for so long. At any rate I've since "repented" of my ignorant and unlearned ways.
Matthew 23 is a powerful condemnation of apostate Israel. The fig tree in Mark 11 along with the olive tree in Romans 11 gives us a picture of the true Israel of God. In Revelation John spoke against those who call themselves "Jews" but are of the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9 & 3:9).
The replica that DJT has could just be for the benefit of dispensational/evangelical Christians who are still tied up with the necessity of a 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. Or a hat tip to his Chabad family entanglements - or both!
And fix our monetary system - Fed Reserve and IRS have to go bye, bye!
