Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Here Peter was speaking of Christ's resurrection and how Christ has been...

The book of Revelation focuses on Israel, not the body of Christ. The churches addressed in chapters 2 and 3 are churches of God, composed of the believing remnant of Israel. The gospel preached is not the gospel of grace, but the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 24:14). The gospel of the kingdom...

1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Revealed to Paul, was the mystery, that the sacrificial death of Jesus was a ransom for all who would believe, both Jew and Gentile. This mystery was not made known to the prophets of the old testament scriptures...

It may be desirable for the church, the body, to have the physical blessings given to Israel, but the riches of Christ would be lost. The church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation has not been given the new covenant, nor in fact, any covenant. If that would be the case, then we need to...

I was wrong in thinking the new testament was only for Israel. Upon further study, I have come to see that the new testament has been applied to the church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation of grace. The new covenant is not the same as the new testament. The new covenant is future. The...

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee: 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 12:3 And...
