Ephesians Lesson 30 of 39 part 3

We ended with saying this, Let His blood be upon our children, and our children’s children. Israel did not know what they were saying did they? What we are about to reveal may upset many who are persuaded by their faith in Religion and the deception of Israel to deny God, that is your right but you had better think twice about doing so. His Word is Truth because He is a God of Covenant and there are only two of them. The First with Abraham and Isaac and the Last or New with mankind.

Oh listen, the wrath of God finally came in during the war of 66-70 AD, and the final push to get rid of the Hebrews that were left in Jerusalem and that region was at Masada, when the Romans found out there were still some 900 Hebrews left that were holding out against Rome, those soldiers spared nothing as they tried to scale the walls at Masada. And, you know the story of Masada. When the Romans finally got up there most the Hebrews had all committed suicide. But nevertheless the Hebrews during that war from 66-70 AD, Israel came under the wrath of God, and again under the Germany during Hitler's tyranny, and today the Arab nations under the tyranny of the Muslims and Islam all are the black horse and rider of Revelation. Again because of their national sins and unbelief concerning their Messiah. Israel is caught in the curse of their supplanter who wrestled with the angel of God, Jacob. Here in verse 24 Jesus is still speaking.

Luke 21:24a
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations*:...”
*as a result of the invasion by the Roman army.
We had not intended to go to Luke chapter 21, but right here is the clue that this is not the final battle of Armageddon, which will trigger the Lord’s return, as we find in Matthew chapter 24. Here in Luke, Israel is going to be led away into a dispersion into all nations, as they were in 70 AD, and we know that they were scattered into every nation under heaven.

We think in the opening remarks of his book, "The Source", James Michener said he had found Hebrews in every sovereign nation on the face of the earth. So when God said that He would scatter them into every nation, He was literal. That dispersion has lasted now for almost 2000 years, but that is not the part of the verse that we are really looking for, as it is in the last part of the verse.

Luke 21:24b
"...and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times* of the Gentiles be fulfilled **."
*a fixed or special occasion, denoting a delay in God's timetable. **as the everlasting pointed, toward the end of an unknown, hidden period of time.
In other words God will have to bring His wrath upon the Gentile world – now the other side of the coin we find in Romans. As the household of God which also covers Israel's being re-grafted into its root. This root is not Jacob but is rather Abraham and Isaac not Jacob because his name was changed to Israel, the rebellious house of the supplanter. The house of deception, the house which turns the heads in the wrong direction, away from the God of Abraham and Isaac.

Romans 11:25
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery (this secret), lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; (and here it is) that (spiritual) blindness in part (just for a time) is happened to Israel, until (there will be a day, month, and year) the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (the Body of Christ completed) ."

Those are two totally different concepts. In Luke it’s the cup of iniquity of Israel and the Gentile world. The deeper they go into sin, the fuller they are filling the cup of iniquity. Over here in Romans we have the filling of the One Body of Christ. Keeping in mind that Paul does not use the term sheep and goats as the Lord did for Israel. For the last 1965 + years, people have been coming into the Body of Christ, the Family of God and it is getting closer and closer to it’s completion. These two concepts will almost work in union. Of course the cup of iniquity of Israel and the Gentiles will go 7 years beyond the filling of the Body of Christ. But over the big picture, time wise that is not much difference, so what we are seeing today is that the Body of Christ is nearly complete, the cup of iniquity of Israel and the Gentile world is nearly completely. As they both run in parallel with Israel's past history in the character of the supplanter and it's track record. Now go to Ephesians 4 verse 24.

Ephesians 4:24
"And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
