.....and kings shall come out of thy loins;

Israel are they who reign with God. Israel shall rule with Christ in the next age. Israel are kings. Jesus is the King of kings! Jesus is king over Israel. Israel shall rule over the nations with Christ.



Hi Adullam...good to see you again.   smile


Israel, as you stated, is both Christians and Jews.  The house of Israel and the house of Judah.  The two sticks! 


I see spiritual Israel in divisions...not all being kings but all being His holy nation.  

  • Revelation 20:5-6  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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.


In Israel there is Jerusalem and mount Zion.  Israel represents all believers, His nation.  Jerusalem is His holy city, the elect and then...there is the temple mount...mount Zion, the very elect, the saints, the man child.  

This morning I saw the following and it pertains to this....

  • Proverbs 2:21-22 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.  But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
 


The upright...righteous, good people but not the saints, shall dwell there.  They are not of the first resurrection and are still liable to die at the end of the millennium.  The perfect, the saints, are of the first resurrection (second death has no power over them) and they "shall remain."  They are the priests and teach the upright.  The wicked are separated but not killed until the end of the millennium.  But, the transgressors are rooted out....the tares are pulled up.  




 agreed

It seems we are on the same page...look! we ARE on the same page! Good to see you again as well!  :clap:
