Creation, Time, Covenants, and Israel

Rom 11:25  For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in; 

Rom 11:26  and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." 

Rom 11:27  "AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS." 

Rom 11:28  From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 

Rom 11:29  for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 

Jer 31:31  "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 

Jer 31:32  not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. 

Jer 31:33  "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 

Jer 31:34  "And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD , "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." 

Jer 31:35  Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 

Jer 31:36  "If this fixed order departs From before Me," declares the LORD, "Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a nation before Me forever." 

Jer 31:37  Thus says the LORD, "If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done," declares the LORD. 

Jer 31:38  "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the city shall be rebuilt for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 

Jer 31:39  "And the measuring line shall go out farther straight ahead to the hill Gareb; then it will turn to Goah. 

Jer 31:40  "And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, or overthrown anymore forever." 

Jer 33:15  'In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth. 

Jer 33:16  'In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she shall be called: the LORD is our righteousness.' 

Jer 33:17  "For thus says the LORD, 'David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 

Jer 33:18  and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to prepare sacrifices continually.'" 

Jer 33:19  And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 

Jer 33:20  "Thus says the LORD, 'If you can break My covenant for the day, and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, 

Jer 33:21  then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 

Jer 33:22  'As the host of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.'" 

Jer 33:23  And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 

Jer 33:24  "Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, 'The two families which the LORD chose, He has rejected them'? Thus they despise My people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight. 

Jer 33:25  "Thus says the LORD, 'If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established, 

Jer 33:26  then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.'" 

Gen 8:22  "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease." 

Heb 1:3  And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 

All the unilateral covenants God made with Israel (Abrahamic, Davidic, Noahdic, and the New Cov.) are bound together. This is why the doctrine of a literal 6 day creation is essential. 

Amillennial apostates today:

Accept Evolution

Deny a literal seven day Creation week

Deny biblical marriage as the only true marriage 

Deny sodomy has a heinous sin

Accept sodomy as genetic

Deny time as defined by God

Deny the everlasting covenants and promises of God to Israel

Accept so-called “science” over Scripture (therefore accepting “climate change” and fear)

Deny Israel’s salvation and sanctification

Deny Israel’s identity as God’s chosen people in His chosen city of Jerusalem

Deny a literal future country of Israel and city of Jerusalem

Deny Israel as an everlasting land and Jerusalem as an everlasting city

Deny the Messiah and His kingdom

Deny God’s everlasting covenant of peace with Israel

Deny the two houses of Israel uniting to one

Deny God vindicating His holy name

Deny God magnifying Himself to all nations

 

This is an attack on God, His Word, His faithfulness to His promises and to Israel. By denying Creation and accepting Evolution, they necessarily deny the covenants to Israel INCLUDING the New Covenant.

Besides this, increasingly the Amillennialists are becoming mystics. Therefore, I believe they will comply with the anti-Christ who desires to change the times and laws (Dan. 7:25) since they already redefine time as God set up in Genesis 1-2.

 

 

Spiritual Growth

 "Growth is silent and at the time imperceptible to our senses, though later it is evident. Growth is gradual and full development is not reached in a day, nor in a year. Time must be allowed before proof can be obtained. We should not attempt to gauge our growth by our feelings, but rather by looking into the glass of God’s Word and measuring ourselves by the standard which is there set before us. There may be real progress even where there is less inward comforts. Am I denying myself more now than I did formerly? Am I less enthralled by the attractions of this world than I used to be? Are the details of my daily life being more strictly regulated by the precepts of Holy Writ? Am I more resigned to the blessed will of God, assured that He knows what is best for me? Is my confidence in God growing, so that I am more and more leaving myself and my affairs in His hands? Those are some of the tests we should apply to ourselves if we would ascertain whether or no we be growing in grace."
