Firstly, for perspective, it makes readers figure out who the house of Israel were. Jesus knew how supplanted the tribe would become, and he made sure the Christians had his support. The Gospel was for "Israel", not Judah, but Israel had been absent for over 700 years. Jesus knew where the house of Israel disappeared to, he knew that Jeremiah was commissioned to uproot and plant David's throne, to the isles of the sea:
Post Solomon, Israel split into two kingdoms, Israel & Judah in 930 BC
The house of Israel went into Assyrian captivity in 721 BC
The house of Israel was liberated by king Nebuchadnezzar in 605 BC. They didn't go home to Israel, they went north west to the isles, to UK. This makes them the lost sheep, prodigal sons. They lost their gene pool in the mix, they were called Saxons = sons of Issac = Sac-Sons.
If you got the flu from 3 years ago, today, the medical community would say you have Covid-19. This bs was planned out long ago. Govt's are satan wrapped in gun metal magnets. Enjoy your end-time journey, even if it gets bomby. Oh, I meant balmy.
If you can analyze what 9-11-01 was, you will have found your compass. The last 3 trumpets are the ones that count, the sixth trumpet is 80% of end-time prophesy.
My messages won't go through
( Matthew 19:9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
The lost sheep of Israel ( Jeremiah 50:6)
Jesus came to fulfill the law, the first covenant, flesh had to live a sinless life under the law of Moses given by God before it was considered an executed contract (fulfilled). The prophets, all prophecy pointing to the coming of their Messiah had to be fulfilled. These two things had to be completed before God could make a new covenant. The first covenant was made with the house of Israel and the second was offered to the house of Israel first but they rejected Jesus as their Messiah.
We see in ( Matthew 10:5-8) that Jesus told the twelve, to go only to the house of Israel and not to go by the way of Gentiles. God even told them when the Messiah would come, ( Daniel 9:25) and in ( Ezekiel 34:23-24) they were told a Shepard was coming. but they did not want to give up their authority and wealth they were enjoying, meaning the Sadducees and Pharisees.
Even when Jesus was born, they heard that it was in Bethlehem they were troubled ( Matthew 2:3) they did not even want to go see if it was their King/Messiah. We see in Acts when they totally said they reject Jesus and the new covenant, when they killed Stephen.
Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
The Apostles continued to confirm the new covenant to the house of Israel until Peter had his dream and Paul was converted and what God told Abraham came to be, and the mystery was revealed and confirming to the house of Israel stopped. The branch was broken off so we may be grafted in.
Genesis 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
God bless,

Why is it when the elect (2 witnesses) are called up to heaven ( Revelation 11:12) do we next see the one hundred forty four thousand standing with Christ, and the 144k standing in front of the alter? ( Revelation 14) Why is there never any mention of the resurrected other than the 144K? Look at the qualifications to be a firstfruit; do you know someone like that? Faithing and hoping won't make it so. I think Paul was speaking about the saints. It clearly is a confusing piece of scripture, a necessary evil.
I have an idea, why not have one resurrection? Let's lobby God for what we want, and then take more.
I don't recall ever saying that? Can you point me to the post where I stated that, or what we were talking about. Thanks Earl!
You said we have to take scripture as it is given to us so plainly.
Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tarsus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart (prince of Tarsus) is lifted up, and thine (prince of Tarsus) heart is lifted up, an thou hast said, I am a God, and I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet that art a MAN, and not God, though thou (prince of Tarsus) Set thine heart AS THE heart of God.
Ezekiel 28 12 Son of man, take up a LAMENTATION upon the king of Tarsus..
From verse 1 thru verse 19 God is taking to a man, the King of Tarsus.
ALL MEN have the same problem; they want to EXALT THEMSELVES ABOVE GOD.
ALL MEN START OUT AS (children of) SATAN.
this shows what we are facing today as christians. lies,doubt and money. this must not dampen our love towards God through his son Jesus but should be used as the foundation to know about Christ more and more and to dispel the lies, doubt and the selfish use of money.
that is my view.
Jesus had gone to the coastal towns of Tyre & Sidon which are in Phoenicia. He went to minister to the Jews there (you might remember that the tribe of Asher had inherited some of that portion of the Land of Canaan back in the days of Joshua). So, we're not told what type of ministry Jesus was already doing there, when a Canaanitish woman approached Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Jesus didn't want to expand His Work to all people, so initially He refused her, saying that His Mission was to "the lost sheep of Israel", or the Jews who were perishing/in darkness for lack of Truth. Some could interpret Jesus' phrase as 'to the Jews who were scattered in these far off parts', but I think the emphasis on their 'spiritual needs' was what Jesus was referring to here. If Jesse sees this, he could clarify it better than me.
But because of this woman's great faith, Jesus just gave the Word of healing, for we read that her daughter was healed in that hour, or in that moment. And Jesus did touch the lives of non-Jews from time to time (e.g. you can look up Matthew 8:5-13; John 4:1-42; Mark 5:1-17) but His Mission was primarily to the "lost sheep of Israel".
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Romans 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Confess your sins to Jesus Christ, repent, and believe in your heart that he has saved you. He will give you a new heart and a new life in Him. Ezekiel 36:26 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
If he is already a born-again Christian, he has nothing to fear. 2 Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
Pray that the cancer and its symptoms leave him in Jesus's name. Prayer is POWERFUL I've had miracles in my own life. Almost four years ago, I couldn't walk due to an illness. Friends and family prayed. And not long after, I just got up and walked. My great-nephew was so sick in the womb that doctors advised abortion, but his mother refused. Family and friends prayed. And the symptoms left that child. And he was born healthy and thrives today at four years old. God is on the throne. He hears prayer. God can heal immediately Matthew 8:13 or after a period of time Mark 5:5. Remember, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What He did while He walked the earth, he can do sitting at the right hand of God in Heaven. God bless.
I will give a near-future tell: US/Israel will bomb Iran's nuclear facility ( Revelation 6:14).
I can't give a date, but there will be some time inbetween it and ( Revelation 6:12).
Hey, wait a second here, why does the vs 14 scroll come before the vs 12 earthquake with the sun black and moon blood? That is a riddle of itself
If what I say doesn't happen, I will take a vow of silence, apologize in hand sign. If it comes to pass, I will rub it in so much that you will welcome the 6th trumpet. Another riddle.
As far as whether he fulfilled his vow by sacrificing his daughter, it would be inconclusive to say. In the normal reading of that Scripture, it appears that he did sacrifice her, as we see his demonstration of horror, anguish & tearing of clothes when she was the first to come through the doors to greet him. He might have been expecting an animal ("WHATSOEVER cometh forth of the doors of my house" verse 31), as some animals were often kept in the house, so this vow appears extremely rash & for which he would have to live with in grief for the rest of his life.
Yet, some suppose that Jephthah didn't sacrifice his daughter in the understanding as one would sacrifice an animal. One reason given, is that it would be an abomination before God & man, for a human sacrifice to take place, & such human sacrifices were only conducted by the heathen. Rather, Jephthah allowed her to go away to the mountains to "bewail her virginity" & then return to be forever set apart, without marriage & family, sacrificed for the Lord's Service.
So, one can't be too sure what actually took place, the Scripture isn't specific enough - my sense is that he fulfilled his vow by permitting her death which was then remembered & lamented over each year by "the daughters of Israel".
