Featured Baptist History by Baptists 1a: "the synagogue of Satan"

The New Testament shows that the Jews provoked Rome to persecute Christians.

 

Are you claiming Peter was perfect?

 

Are they to be accused of wrong for doing that which God planned?

22“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
​

And the next day, Peter said,

17“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.
​

Why then is there a despising of the Jews?

If someone acts out of ignorance, certainly they are still to be held accountable, for ignorance is not permission for innocence to be granted, but the force of the condemnation is differently determined.

The greatest threat were/are those IN the fellowship who desired to make Gentiles into Jews and puffing their heritage as putting them in a higher strata before God. Therefore, some became Jews (heritage) who were not, and some claiming redemption (believers), who were not, are that group from Satan.

That assembly (synagogue) from Satan will continue as part of the true church until the millennial reign. They are not some outside force but intricate in every true church.

This is seen as part of the parable found in Matthew 13:24-30.

 

The Holy Spirit places the blame squarely on the Jews.

 

How is it that one can escape the designs and purposes of God?

Do “we” get to assign blame?

When Peter spoke of the crucifixion and related the facts concerning the roles, he certainly laid out the actions of both Rome and Jews, but i’m Not convinced he blamed them or even condemned them.

Rather, he spoke in terms that indicate that which they did was from ignorance, yet such ignorance was not an excuse but needed repentance.

According to Acts, the larger amount of the Jews did repent, but the power impressed leadership remained obstinate. Here is an example:

1And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, 2greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.3And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

​

 

…more... (well, another one)

 

I agree, which is why Peter called for repentance, and could with all authority tell the Jews,

“25You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”​

Did all turn? Of course not.

But WHO did the turning of those who did turn? God did.

They did not of their own initiative turn themself.

By that same authority, God will (according to the prophets) again place His authority upon the Jews.

The call goes out in this day, to all who are given ears to hear, “Repent, Redemption draws near!”

 

No, your are wrong.

The parable is among others pertaining to salvation, the true churc, which is directly related to the kingdom.

I am surprised you do not recognize this basic to the true church?

When harvest is made, the wheat is threshed, and the winnowing purges the chaff so that only the true wheat placed in the prepared place.

 

Some of what you write is accurate, some not, but swayed by some scheme.

Here is the Scripture concerning the harvesting of the earth.

14Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.15And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.
​

This is that great gathering of the church to the Redeemer that leads to the marriage supper, the physical return and establishment of the millennial reign were the believers rule with Him.

17Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” 19So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
​

This is toward the end of that terrible tribulation time yet to come. It is part of the series of conflicts in the coming world war that culminates with Armageddon and terminates at The Christ returning establishing the millennial reign.

Of course, your scheme doesn’t fit this, so the scheme obliges great allegory thinking, or reassignment to an already occurrence, or even (as some say) the rejection by considering John was old and dementia was well established.

“Satan’s seat” is a reference to a specific place, a place copied by Hitler’s architects. Would you like to see it?

This is a quick reference that gives a picture. From ancient Pergamon to modern Berlin – Christian Friends of Israel-USA


What to see something shockingly similar? Obama’s Throne of Satan (Pergamon Altar)

 

I quoted the Scriptures.

Did you not recognize them?

 

Sorry to disappoint, but NEITHER point to the one and only second coming.

There is no coming even alluded to in those passages.
