"to the end of the 'Jewish age,' i.e., the time of transference from a national to an international people of God,"
beameup; and many will turn to Jesus as Messiah and evangelize to the ends of the Earth (fulfillment of the Great Commission) using the gift of instantly knowing any language said:And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.[/I]
Isa 49:6
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
7 Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
8 Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
This passage was quoted in the nt already as happening in the church now and in apostolic times already....
2 Corinthians 6
6 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
The nt says this is that....not somewhere in the future.
2 Corinthians 6 only has 18 verses in it.
Someone is "pulling the wool".

then the second group is from acts 13:thumbsup:

When did all the nations gather in jerusalem, to pay homage to the Messiah of yahweh?
Yeshua1
What verse in particular are you thinking about?
The problem is there is a need to be specific.
With the teaching you follow you are looking as if the Earthly Jerusalem is still the holy city....even with the temple being destroyed.....so you wait for a physical temple and earthly rule.....
There are several passages that swing it over.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
As the church has expanded worldwide all nations do go to the Heavenly Jerusalem in prayer.Positional we are there in Christ, as OUR Citizenship is in heaven ....now-
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
The Holy Spirit tells us in Hebrews 12-
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
The Authority is heavenly....what verses do you think say otherwise?
When was there ONLY the God of the bible and His Son worshipped alone as God and King over all the earth?
Now....but the worship comes only from the redeemed.
the prophets foretold a time under messiah when peace would rule over all the earth, all nations would obey Him as God, that His law would be exaulte dover all the earth, his messiah obeyed and heeded, as he was here in a physical form...
When did that happen in history?
A most profound question; not answerable unless one wishes to "spiritualize" a simple scripture.
Or, even worse, to claim that God did not really mean what He so plainly said!
