Hi Andrew Stone - that's fantastic that you went to church. I'm praying for you that you get there more often. "For he that has will be given more... is what Mike just finished speaking at minute 17 - as he goes into the second parable" I fond out that if I wanted to do something in the way of obedience, when I took the first step, then God rewards in abundance. Whether it's going to church, or just eating a pizza - you get an acquired taste. Thanks for sharing this on this feed - I'm going to be encouraged every day as I pray for you, bro. God can answer prayers and give you life abundantly. But remember - Satan loves to discourage you = like the parable of the sower, so that Satan will make it look like it's too hard, too 'christianly' etc., and will be like the birds in the parable that ate up the seed. Don't get discouraged. If you have any prayer requests, let me know at [e-mail] and I love to pray for you. God will keep you strong !!!

[@melissabunn7453]

Thank you so much for sharing the gospel...I have recently opened my heart to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For far too long I have shied away because of my bad experiences with the Jehovah's Witness organization in my younger years. When I think about my life I am so ashamed and realize how much time I have wasted on things that have no real reward. I had no idea that we gain salvation through the grace of GOD through faith. Such a loving and fulfilling promise! Thanks again for your ministry.

[@cheerfulmouse]

Blessings to you Melissa 🙏 There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. And God works all things for good to those who 💖 Him. It may seem like wasted time. But I bet in 3 years, He has shown you how he can use it to push you further and closer to Him than you ever thought possible 🙏 Love you sister!! I am so Thankful for this ministry, so I can be prepared to talk to those in organizations or x of like JW. 🙏💖🙏

1 love what Mike says at 13:25 about our responsibility being to share the light - not to hide behind the excuse of it being too difficult to share, or just plain timidity. I remember recently I took a WaterProof Bible (do a search under Waterproof Bible on the Internet) into the hot pool where they have hundreds of people and 39 degrees Celsius hot water. I was able to share my "light" with tens and twenty people, because I was obviously a visible influence. If it had been a book on Buddha, or Allah, it would not have been so perfect as it being a book of God, and I explained that "only God can make a miracle of a Bible' because He is the only one who parted the Red Sea by a miracle and drowned Pharaoh's army. But I did what I could, and let my light shine. This way I made hundreds aware of God's Word, the Bible !! :)

Hi Mike, I first want to say how much I love and appreciate your teaching; your ministry is a great blessing. I’d like to respectfully disagree however with your take on the birds in the parable of the mustard seed. To be honest I hadn’t thought about it very deeply before and only had a vague sense of it meaning something positive. Having given it more careful consideration though the two words “so that” stand out in the passage and lead me to a different conclusion than yours. If we understand “so that” to be something like “the purpose for which” or “in order to” then surely the mustard seed isn’t sewn to grow into a large tree “so that” evil could infiltrate the church. I think I would have to lean more towards the divine blessing take on this verse. If you read this, I’d love to hear your response.Thank you again for being a faithful teacher of God’s Word. God bless you!

The mustard seed parable is exactly where your bible version makes an enormous difference on your beliefs. In the NIV it says: Mark 4:31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” In the KJV the word is this: Mark 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. Now lets look at the word less and what it means. LESS, a. Smaller; not so large or great According to this it would be wrong... HOWEVER, less has a second meaning and it is this: LESS, adv. Not so much; in a smaller or lower degree; as less bright or loud; less beautiful; less obliging; less careful. This definition it fits perfectly well. It is a seed that does not stand out among all other seeds, and is seen as lesser than others. This fits PERFECTLY with what the Lord says about taking the lowly things of the world and making them great. 1 Cor 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: This is why your bible words matter and you can't pull from things like the NIV. It does make a difference, and next time lets not conclude that Jesus is wrong, or is exaggerating to make a point.

[@fargomonkey5133]

Using the parable of the sower as a template, you can easily figure out all the parables. My favorite is the parable of the good Samaritan, which, not surprisingly at all, turns out to be the entire gospel message, from Adam to Jesus, and even to His soon return, all in just seven verses. It starts with the lawyer asking Jesus a question intending to trap Him. The lawyer asks what he must do to inherit eternal life. The answer is coded within the parable. A certain man (all men in a sense, Adam, the first man specifically) is going DOWN from Jerusalem (peace with God) to Jericho, a city (cursed by God), and gets robbed (Satan), robbed of his garment (a symbol of Adam's authority, of God's righteous covering over Adam. Think of a kingly robe, Adam was made regent king, but after he sinned, Satan became the prince and power of the air) and wounded him (physical decay, illness etc ... And left him half dead, ("The day you eat of it you will surely die". Dead spiritually). A priest (the system of animal sacrifices for sin) and a Levite (Levies were in charge of the Tabernacle, the meeting place with God) passed by on the other side of the wounded dying man. (Neither was able to permanently fix the problem, they were insufficient. The blood of animals was temporary, and God wanted a dwelling place made without hands.) A Samaritan came and had compassion (Jesus) pouring in oil (Holy Spirit) and wine (his blood) set him on his own animal (gives mankind His own authority and power) brought him to an inn and took care of him (restores my soul, the Good Shepherd), next day went He left, He gave them to the innkeeper ("I will pray the Father send another comforter, Holy Spirit), paid two denarii, (two days wages. Remember also that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, so two thousand years pay) and announced that He'll pay whatever more is needed when He comes back, (He IS coming back!!) The gospel message hidden in seven verses that most people think is just about being nice to people.

[@FRN2013]

Amen. Re. us being the light, that isn't just about evangelism. We're not supposed to just win souls throughout all nations. We're told to make disciples in all nations. How do we make disciples? Nine times in the NT, believers were instructed to follow church leaders. Follow me as I follow Christ. The things you have seen and heard from me, tell faithful men, who will tell others also. Remember your leaders and follow their example. Etc. I need to shine in church, and not just in the world.

[@Logic807]

We are to be righteous (free gift from God) that needs to be taken by faith. If we are to posses it, we will be righteous, not by works but by faith shown through our works (actions). Righteousness that leads to Holiness. Without which we cannot enter the Kingdom. I 100% agree to be light. No point evangelicensing people to hell. More people are going to hell through churches. People are deceiving themselves.

[@peterkluth185]

Also, love the comment on preaching the gospel and not trying to push all the theological baggage too. That can come later. Preach Christ crucified. All of the debates can come as the believer becomes hungry for that. I see this most often with LGBTQ+ issues, it's like some Christians expect all the same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria issues to simply go away when people make the decision to trust in Jesus. As if all of their own sin issues simply vanished the day they trusted the Lord.

[@RonLWilson]

Interesting as well as informative! Here are a couple of thoughts. The mustard seed might be thought to be a representative of a class of small seeds, sort of the poster child. As such it does not have to be the smallest seed in that class but rather the best representative of that class in that it also possesses other qualities such as you say it grows to be large and may be familiar to that audience. Thus it can refer to itself, a mustard seed, and also a ropesentaive of that class of small seeds, even if it is not the smallest. And why Jesus might use the mustard seed as the representative of small seeds and not the actual smallest seed might be just as you have said that the parables are meant to expose people's hearts and as such those so inclined to reject this parable Jesus gives enough rope (so to speak) in doing so for them to hang themselves with it. But to those that are open to receive that it can give them further insight as they posner what Jesus chose the mustard seed and not the actual smallest seed to exemplary represent that call of mall seeds. Thus it can serve both as a clue and an obstacle to cause one to stumble, that being determined by the condition of the hearer's heart. As for what the birds might represent it seems that options 2 and 3 may not be mutually exclusive in that it seems these birds can do two things, one, eat the mustard seeds that fall from that tree or two, take shelter in and under the branches of that tree. And God makes the rain fall on both the just and the unjust. As such all gentiles may take shelter under that tree and we see that western civilization and the spread of the gospel may benefit all in that it tends to bring about liberalism embodied in western culture in the sense of rule by law, freedoms such as freedom of religion, charity, tolerance, etc. As such even those who may not be part of the branch can nevertheless take shelter under that tree in that they benefit from growing up in a christian culture and may even identify themselves as being Christians. Thus the seed here seems to be more the good fruit in that any seed that falls from that tree grows other trees and not that tree, but that tree is the kingdom, and such the seed it bears seem to be the fruit that comes from the word and not the word as in the other parable. Also, at the same time, there are those that exploit that for their own gain (and thus tend to eat the seeds that fall from that tree) and justify that by claiming to be part of that tree when in fact they are not. Thus say as the gospel spreads to the new world by say the Spanish (or English, French, Dutch, etc) one can see both kinds of birds, those that benefit from the shelter from that tree (who receive the gospel or benefit from introduction of western culture) and those birds that eat the seeds that fall from that tree by exploitation in the name of the gospel and opprese and wipe out the natives through disease, wars, and oppression. Thus perhaps not all birds are equal in that since, just as the dove may typically stand for good while the vulture may typically stand for evil some of those birds may simply benefit from the shade of that tree while others eat other birds or the seed itself that falls from that tree. Some of those birds may simply benefit from the shade while others may eat the seeds that fall from that tree (or the other birds) as well. So maybe views 2 and 3 are not totally mutually exclusive but elements from each view can co exist in some sense. And thus if this parables foreshadows the future history of the church that seems to be what has happened all gave benefited from that tree while some have used it as a pretext to exploit others and oppose the good that comes from that tree and its seed while benefiting from it as well from its shade.

[@kathleens.laroche754]

Vicki, what you are saying comes from a much-quoted statement of Francis of Assisi: “Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” These are the words of a man, not the Bible. The Bible does tell us that our behavior should reflect our commitment to Christ and may be the impetus for someone to come to faith in Him (see 1 Peter 3:1-2), but it also says (Jesus speaking in Matthew 28:19-20) that we are to “make disciples of all nations . . . teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.” That can’t be done without words. So, the words of the Bible should be the focus, with our behavior supporting the message. If someone is led to the message by our behavior, praise the Lord! But discipleship cannot happen without many biblical words.

The message of the gospel is not corrupted by time on Earth. We preach the same gospel that Paul and the apostles preached. It has not changed through time. The gospel is the same truth now and forever. How can atheists explain the perfection of the gospel message? How is it that so many Christians hear the Spirit and understand the mystery of the gospel? Of course it's because it is True and alive with the Spirit! The Holy Spirit testifies that what we read in the Word is true! We then come to know that it is true. Atheists cannot explain how and why this is happening. We know why it is happening; it is because the Holy Spirit of God is real and His Word is true!

[@billhildebrand5053]

At 5151 views and 144 comments (with 216 likes and 3 non likes)) I can see at 4:56 am on Sept 18 that God's Word DOES penetrate. Hebrews 4:12 says it 'penetrates to the dividing of the soul and the spirit, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart' . Praise God I saw this demonstrated last night, as at our Celebrate Recovery meeting at FAC we had 17 men present (on the 17th) - and before, in our STEP study, I really saw for the first time as I was digging deeper, how many many amends I had written down. How many things I had been unthankful for. For others looked into our family history and it was the WORST because of the constant denials. So Mike says, at 17:07 he says that we need to be careful how we listen. we are responsible for responding to what we hear. It is also interesting that he says that whatever is said in the dark will be proclaimed on the housetop. Take an example (speaking metaphorically) - when I was in Switzerland (I'm from Canada) and saw the way people thought and expressed themselves - it was as if there was a reason for everything. If they had fingers, they knew what fingers were fore. Eyes for seeing, ears for hearing. Jesus expresses (thru Mike) that the eyes were made for seeing - and we have to be careful that we see correctly. Verse 22 of Mark 4 (Jesus' second parable) states that "For there shall be nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. (23). Let any0ne with ears to hear listen... and he goes on to say that the measure we have to give will be the measure that we get.

Dave was skeptical of pastors, etc., - people who my mother hurt I owe amends to. - people who called me unfaithful for not sending my mother a loving card (passing on guilt to me because they thought it was my 'unloving' attitude causing her to hold resentments). - people who blamed me for my mothers action (not visiting regularly) - my team in ROME for not wanting to contribute to a sewing machine ($7.00) I think. - dad, not thanking him for his support and prayer. - Uncle Victor for his insistence that I be excluded from the inheritance - and then of course, myself, being responsible for telling this to Uncle Ben (who would listen) and from whom I thought was stymied at me for being so 'divisive' . - the last one was a new 'light' but I realize that this is my character defect. - thank God for HIS grace.

[@IsraelNewTestament]

Jesus spoke in Parables for several reasons: Jesus was a Master of the parable. In his teaching, Jesus used parables often and to great effect. Parables were a good way to teach and Jesus was good at telling them. However there were more reasons than that for Jesus’s use of parables. 1 To Give His Enemies No Ground The enemies of Jesus were always waiting for him to say something they could use against him (Luke 11:53-54). By speaking in parables, Jesus was making it very hard for them. He could hardly be arrested for telling homely stories! The parables were evocative not provocative. By couching his teaching in parables, Jesus made certain points much clearer to true-hearted people than even plain language could have made them. At the same time, he was speaking indirectly and figuratively so that lawyers had nothing to accuse him of. When it would have been counterproductive to speak plainly in public, Jesus spoke in parables -a prudent strategy. The parable of the ten virgins is a simple story about people’s behaviour at a wedding (Matthew 25:1-13). Clearly, as the bridegroom in the story, Jesus is representing himself as God with the power to open and shut the doors of Heaven (Revelation 3:7). But nobody could prove he was saying that. 2 To Enlighten the True Hearted Jesus took advantage of occasions when multitudes flocked to hear him speak. Through the parables he could enlighten those whose hearts were sincere and receptive and who were hungering and thirsting for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). The word heart (by coincidence) starts with the word hear. The good heart hears God’s word, understands it, and seeks to know more about the kingdom of Heaven and God’s will. In the parables people found what they were looking for. The parable of the sower illustrates that the seed of God’s word grows and bears fruit in good hearts. When he had told this parable, Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear" (Matthew 13:1-9). Some people tune their ears to the word of God, and they understand the truth. 3 To Make People Think Jesus knew that not everybody would understand or give proper thought to his parables. Some people tune their hearts and ears to God’s word, whilst others deliberately block their ears to God’s voice. Yet others neither tune nor block their ears -Jesus told parables to challenge such folk. The parable of the two roads makes people think about where their souls are going, and to make the decision to "enter by the narrow gate" lest they be swept with the crowd down the broad way to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14). 4 To Divide Into Two After telling the parable of the sow, Jesus was asked by his disciples the question from which our present lesson takes its title. They asked, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" (Matthew 13:10). Jesus answered by quoting Isaiah, concerning people who have eyes but do not see, and have ears but do not hear (Matthew 13:11-17, Isaiah 6:8-10). In telling the parables, Jesus was bringing pressure to bear upon his listeners, to either open their spiritual eyes and ears and be enlightened, or to shut their eyes and ears tighter and be condemned. The parables not only make people think, they also make people choose. They bring people out of the grey area into the clearly black or white. The parables were a winnowing fork for Jesus, by which he was able to separate the wheat from the chaff. The parable of the sheep and the goats has this intention (Matthew 25:31-46). All who hear this story are forced to choose whether they will be among the sheep or the goats, and to be accountable for their decision.

[@allentomas3417]

"Jesus is representing himself as God with the power to open and shut the doors of Heaven (Revelation 3:7)." Explain this further, please! all else makes good sense, as it gives a complete analysis of the intended purposes

[@IsraelNewTestament]

@@allentomas3417 HaKadosh means "the Holy One." At 6:10 the term designates God the Father. Moreover, in the Talmud, the Prayerbook and other Jewish writings, it is common to refer to God as "HaKadosh, barukh hu" ("the Holy One. blessed be he"). But here (and possibly at 1 Yn 2:20) this title refers to Yeshua. (So there is no need for a "blessed be he," because here the Holy One is talking about himself.) Thus Yeshua is to be identified with God. yet he is not the Father. Yeshua is also the True One, the one who is faithful and trustworthy. At Isaiah 22:20-22, Elyakim was given "the key of the house of David," that is, full authority to act on behalf of King Hezekiah in his household. Likewise Yeshua, "the Root and Offspring of David" (5:5,22:16), has full authority (Ml 28:18) to act on behalf of God, our King. Yeshua does not permit others to usurp this authority, yet he voluntarily shares "the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven" with those who commit themselves to him (Mt 16:19). Two others named Elyakim appear in the genealogies of Yeshua (Mt 1:13, Lk 3:30). In other words, He has administrative power and uncontested control. The open door that the Jewish synagogue and pagan cults were powerless to close is God's given opportunity to preach Christ to everyone who wants to listen. The Key of David is an Old Testament reference to the absolute sovereignty of God to open doors and close the mouth.

[@IsraelNewTestament]

He is the One who has the key of David, who opens - and no one shuts, shuts - and no one opens. First of all, it should be noted that the key is a symbol of power. This is the image of Jesus Christ with decisive and absolute power that no one can dispute. Behind this there is a picture from the Old Testament. Hezekiah had a faithful servant, Eliakim, a householder, who alone could admit someone in the presence of the king. Isaiah heard God speak of His faithful servant Eliakim: “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.” (Isa. 22.22). This picture is before John’s mental gaze. Jesus alone has the power to allow or not to allow anyone into the new Jerusalem, the new city of David

[@lifeinthearclane6240]

Mike I've asked a million times!!! I've subscribed to ur channel and watch all videos and love them, so I'll ask one more time do you think if someone commits suicide do they go to hell?

[@brando3342]

@noone cares What verses can you provide to say this might be true?

[@IsraelNewTestament]

1. Suicide is a form of murder. Suicide is just as sinful as killing. And killing is a violation of the sixth commandment: «Thou shalt not kill» (Exodus 20:13). The only difference is that the killer kills another person, and the suicide kills himself. It is said of the murder: «Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man» (Genesis 9: 6). 2. Suicide is a game of God. A man who commits suicide rejects the authority of God over himself and assumes the role of judge and master of his life. 3. Suicide is a rebellion against the Creator. God created man for life. Man deprives himself of life, which is a rebellion against the Creator, who gave him life. God has plans for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11, «For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end») By committing suicide, a person crosses out all of God's plans. God wants us to have eternal life. Suicide crosses out God's plan of salvation and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins (Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”) 4. Suicide is the product of Satan’s «to be led»: John 10:10a «The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy»; John 8:44 «Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it». 5. Jesus did not come to take, but to give us life: John 10: 10b «I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly..» 6. Our life belongs to God. No one has the right to take his own life or someone else's life: 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 «What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's». 7. The Bible calls suicide evil against itself: Acts 16: 25-34 «And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house». So suicide is a sin against God and himself.

[@IsraelNewTestament]

Suicide is the worst sin in terms of consequences, because a person who has committed this because of spiritual and psychological weakness, despair and unreason, no longer has the opportunity to repent in life and find justification after death. The darkness of hell becomes the eternal abode of suicides. «... but he that endureth to the end shall be saved» - Mt. 10:22; «Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith» - Habakkuk 2:4; «Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it» - 1 Cor.10:12-13

Dear brother Winger ..Mark 4:23 "Take care WHAT you listen".the GK word is τι from τίς and yes it means WHAT, however the sence of the passage is "HOW you hear" see LK 8:18 "Take care then HOW you hear" the GK word is πως. The idea is when we listen to something, there is a right and a wrong way to HEAR. You can listen and be gracious or you can listen and be vindictive and judgemental without knowing all the facts, only a fool hears one side of the story, and makes a judgement. Often one passage sheds light on another passage, explaining it even more clearly. God bless.

[@toptrollking]

For Mark 4:24, I am still kinda confused, how can "he who does not have, even what he does have will be taken from him" make sense? If you don't have, how can you have (and not have more) then have what you don't have taken from you? It might just be the English translation, it just seems like a strange paradox since it sounds black and white kinda mathematical. I do appreciate your point that, he that has ears to listen will be given more to hear or more ability to listen or something, and he that does not have ears to hear will be taken further and further into deafness or something like that

[@Logic807]

Whoever does not have the word (of the kingdom as said in Mathew), even what they have (earthly possessions) will be taken away. Death .. eternal death => Eternal damnation. Mike wingers explanation is good too. Such a parable can have multiple ideas. Some like the parable of the sower is more specific.They need ears to listen, because they don’t have books and scrolls. They are taught when they are young by hearing by parents and also in the synagogue. All by hearing, not by reading. Another thing, “listen” - is listen and obey or listen and follow … the Jewish word for it is “Shema” . As a a Jew, being said with emphasis, those who have ears …means you had better listen carefully (and obey) Based on the parable, if you do not understand the word of the Kingdom, the evil one will take it away from you. Please understand the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. Read for yourself and the Spirit will lead you. Discover it for yourself, like God will speak to you in the heart. Isn’t God a living God ? Perhaps what will reveal to you could be like a piercing. Truly truly a revelation. Paul prayed that wisdom and revelation will be given to Christ followers. The word of God is Jesus, check scripture for yourself, thus it is the Christ Spirit that speaks to you and not mere book learning.

First thing we need is the ruach of Yehovah. We also need to understand that Yehovah is not a trinity, and that Yeshua is his son. Then things will start to make sense. We also need to know CONTEXT, time period, time line, and WHO Yeshua is talking to. Once Yehovah gives us his ruach, all of Yeshua's parables will make sense. Mostly he was telling nation Israel that the kingdom of Yehovah had arrived, and they needed to repent and follow him so they could receive grace and the ruach once Yeshua was raised from the dead by Yehovah.

Mike, you've got half of the mystery. Yes, the gospel of the kingdom was the mystery. However, you fail to realize what the "kingdom" is. This is so simple...just find every single passage in which Jesus describes the "kingdom". Once you do that, couple it with the fact that Jesus told Israel that their "kingdom" was going to be taken from them and given to others who will bear its fruit. So one aspect of the mystery is the gospel of the kingdom. The other aspect is that the kingdom was nothing like what Israel expected it to be. That is because the "kingdom" has nothing to do with an Old Covenant land promise made to a disobedient people who broke the covenant. Paul had already defined the mystery as Jew and Gentile being "co-heirs" of the inheritance and "of the same body". Since you hold to dispensationalism, you are blinded the real change that was taking place

[+] 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. = 8+5 + 1+14+19+23+5+18+5+4 + 1+14+4 + 19+1+9+4 + 21+14+20+15 + 20+8+5+13 + 2+5+3+1+21+19+5 + 9+20 + 9+19 + 7+9+22+5+14 + 21+14+20+15 + 25+15+21 + 20+15 + 11+14+15+23 + 20+8+5 + 13+25+19+20+5+18+9+5+19 + 15+6 + 20+8+5 + 11+9+14+7+4+15+13 + 15+6 + 8+5+1+22+5+14 + 2+21+20 + 20+15 + 20+8+5+13 + 9+20 + 9+19 + 14+15+20 + 7+9+22+5+14 + 6+15+18 + 23+8+15+19+15+5+22+5+18 + 8+1+20+8 + 20+15 + 8+9+13 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 2+5 + 7+9+22+5+14 + 1+14+4 + 8+5 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 8+1+22+5 + 13+15+18+5 + 1+2+21+14+4+1+14+3+5 + 2+21+20 + 23+8+15+19+15+5+22+5+18 + 8+1+20+8 + 14+15+20 + 6+18+15+13 + 8+9+13 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 2+5 + 20+1+11+5+14 + 1+23+1+25 + 5+22+5+14 + 20+8+1+20 + 8+5 + 8+1+20+8 + 20+8+5+18+5+6+15+18+5 + 19+16+5+1+11 + 9 + 20+15 + 20+8+5+13 + 9+14 + 16+1+18+1+2+12+5+19 + 2+5+3+1+21+19+5 + 20+8+5+25 + 19+5+5+9+14+7 + 19+5+5 + 14+15+20 + 1+14+4 + 8+5+1+18+9+14+7 + 20+8+5+25 + 8+5+1+18 + 14+15+20 + 14+5+9+20+8+5+18 + 4+15 + 20+8+5+25 + 21+14+4+5+18+19+20+1+14+4 + 1+14+4 + 9+14 + 20+8+5+13 + 9+19 + 6+21+12+6+9+12+12+5+4 + 20+8+5 + 16+18+15+16+8+5+3+25 + 15+6 + 5+19+1+9+1+19 + 23+8+9+3+8 + 19+1+9+20+8 + 2+25 + 8+5+1+18+9+14+7 + 25+5 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 8+5+1+18 + 1+14+4 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 14+15+20 + 21+14+4+5+18+19+20+1+14+4 + 1+14+4 + 19+5+5+9+14+7 + 25+5 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 19+5+5 + 1+14+4 + 19+8+1+12+12 + 14+15+20 + 16+5+18+3+5+9+22+5 + 6+15+18 + 20+8+9+19 + 16+5+15+16+12+5 + 19 + 8+5+1+18+20 + 9+19 + 23+1+24+5+4 + 7+18+15+19+19 + 1+14+4 + 20+8+5+9+18 + 5+1+18+19 + 1+18+5 + 4+21+12+12 + 15+6 + 8+5+1+18+9+14+7 + 1+14+4 + 20+8+5+9+18 + 5+25+5+19 + 20+8+5+25 + 8+1+22+5 + 3+12+15+19+5+4 + 12+5+19+20 + 1+20 + 1+14+25 + 20+9+13+5 + 20+8+5+25 + 19+8+15+21+12+4 + 19+5+5 + 23+9+20+8 + 20+8+5+9+18 + 5+25+5+19 + 1+14+4 + 8+5+1+18 + 23+9+20+8 + 20+8+5+9+18 + 5+1+18+19 + 1+14+4 + 19+8+15+21+12+4 + 21+14+4+5+18+19+20+1+14+4 + 23+9+20+8 + 20+8+5+9+18 + 8+5+1+18+20 + 1+14+4 + 19+8+15+21+12+4 + 2+5 + 3+15+14+22+5+18+20+5+4 + 1+14+4 + 9 + 19+8+15+21+12+4 + 8+5+1+12 + 20+8+5+13 + 2+21+20 + 2+12+5+19+19+5+4 + 1+18+5 + 25+15+21+18 + 5+25+5+19 + 6+15+18 + 20+8+5+25 + 19+5+5 + 1+14+4 + 25+15+21+18 + 5+1+18+19 + 6+15+18 + 20+8+5+25 + 8+5+1+18 = 8161
