Re: [TruthTalk] Unilateral covenant
No Lance, that would be impossible, God
would not have blessed His chosen people had they taken matters into
their own hands. God, in the first draft (Abrahamic Covenant) promised
that the land would be theirs. Look at Abrahams examples of taking
things into his own hands, Eliazer could not be Abrahams heir (no blood
relationship, although an acceptible practice in that time), Ishmael,
the truley first born, nope, not of God's doing but Abrahams. Isaac,
YES, The hand of God was in that! Our timing is not God's. Israels
apostacy led to the diaspora (God was still with His people) and
everything since. Even though the Jewish people would be hated and
attacked anywhere they settle, God, Himself, chose the land and is
still grooming this generation to be the one to witness the return of
Messiah. Yes I belive we will see His return in this lifetime!
