Still on the subject of

Was I
saying that all Jews including all who have died would be saved?
Did I
believe in a dual covenant?
First
of all I didn’t originate that statement - the Lord did, for it is written:

grace is consistent and God’s way is to save a remnant from each generation.

Here
are a few verses that state what is written.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael
stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy
people: and there shall be a
time of trouble (Jacob’s trouble), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book.
Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that
he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Comparing Scripture with Scripture we can
know of whom God is speaking.
Everyone living of the last generation; everyone whose
name is found written in the
book of life!
More confirmation:
Psalms 22:30 A seed shall
serve him; it (the
remnant seed) shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
Psalms 102:18
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which
shall be created shall praise the LORD.
The majority
of this present generation will be judged and perish under God’s perfect
judgments during
Nevertheless
there will be a remnant from out of this last generation that will serve the Lord
i.e. they will come forth saved through what is coming upon this generation.
A seed will be "accounted to the
Lord for a generation."
A remnant will be holy to the Lord; a seed is created brand new that shall praise
the Lord.

1Thessalonians
4:13-17
"The
Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord."
1Corinthians
15:50 ff
"We
all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall
be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed"
Christ
will "present the Church unto Himself, a glorious Church, not having spot
or wrinkle, or any such thing"; and that "we wait for a Savior from
heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall fashion anew the body of our
humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of His glory"
The calling of the Church and that
of Israel are never confused in Scripture.
Israel
as a nation does not belong to heaven - but to the land which God has given
them forever - by a solemn covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The "Rapture” or catching up of
the Church to

We
can know for fact that the church is absent from earth: because God cannot have the two testimonies on earth at the same time!
There
is no distinction of Jew or Greek in the called out Church.
This
next paragraph is for all the dual covenant folks who say they are friends of
Israel but do not share with the individual Jew the gospel that will save them
– in all reality, they are closet anti-Semites.

The dispensational
program of God is very clear which no "a millennial" argument can
change!
Acts
15:14
"…first
God visited the Gentiles (the present dispensation),
to take out of them a people for His name."
The prophets
agree; as it is written:
Acts
15:16, 17, 19
"After these things I will
return,
And I
will build again the tabernacle of
And I
will build again the ruins thereof,
And I
will set it up:
That
the residue of men may seek after the Lord,
And
all the Gentiles upon whom My name is called,
Saith the Lord, Who maketh these
things known from of old."
Instructed
Christians who understand the Rapture of the Church and the Judgment of the
Lord upon the nations are apt to neglect or under-emphasize the fact that He
comes to earth for the Deliverance of His people Israel. But the prophets are
full of this subject. Perhaps no passage is more overwhelming than the last
chapter of Habakkuk - the prophet's marvelous vision of our Lord's glorious
return!
It is
a picture of the Remnant of Israel,
who put their trust in Jehovah amid the overwhelming flood of the seven year tribulation;
the stupendous signs in sun, moon, and stars at the end of the Great and
Terrible Tribulation; and the unutterable glory and majesty of the Day of
Wrath.
Dark
days are coming when all nations under the direct influence of demonic powers,
will be "gathered together unto the war of the great day of God the
Almighty," "into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon" - gathered "to cut off

We
make no excuse for spending time here, for the Holy Spirit devotes many pages
to this exact subject of “Jehovah's
Deliverance of His people Israel” by coming back to them in great power
and glory.
Let
us then study these three phases or aspects of our Lord's return with balanced
time and care: the Rapture of the Church; the Judgment of the Nations; and the Deliverance of

Jeremiah
31:31-34 “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of
Israel, and with the house of
Judah:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I
took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant
they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel; After
those days, saith the LORD, I
will put my law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be
my people. And they shall teach no more
every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the
least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.”
Romans
11:25-29 “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (this dispensation).
And so all Israel shall
be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as
touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Isaiah
16:4, 5 "For the extortioner is brought to nought, destruction ceaseth, the
oppressors are consumed out of the land. And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and One shall sit
thereon in truth, in the tent of
In
conclusion: the “New Covenant” will
be actualized in a remnant seed that shall be
accounted to the Lord for a generation when the Lord removes their heart
of stone (obedience to the law) and gives them a heart of flesh (saved by grace
through faith) whereby they will say - “blessed
is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.”

We
hope that it has been made with greater clarity that the church is a testimony of God absolutely separate from God’s judgment
of the nations - and God’s testimony of
The two testimonies cannot be upon the earth at the same time!
This is further proof
that the Lord is coming for His called out
church prior to His judgment of the world and prior to His
Deliverance of Israel.
Those
who call the rapture a hoax, those who believe that all prophecy is past
history (a done deal) have no understanding of the rightly divided Word of
Truth. They have no clue as to God’s
separate programs for the church and for
May
the God of grace richly bless each of you as you individually seek to know the
