The Doctrine of the Rapture Part 5 - Israel is Not the Church, The Church is Not Israel

[@gospelgunn]

Thank you Bro James for the hours of labor and your love for our LORD JESUS CHRIST

[@robbie12359]

Amen. We all need to be reminded of this vital truth. The church is not Israel but the remnant if Israel from the tribulation will be part of our family in the kingdom of God. Praise the good Lord that we have benefited from Israel's enmity to the gospel and His good grace towards us the church. I have prayed for you brother James and all those at Bible Baptist church this morning. Keep marching on for our Saviour from your brother in Christ Rob, Essex, England.

Thank you Bro James. I am now clearly understanding the differences between Israel and the Church. Now I can better understand the book of Revelation.

[@lisabradford5998]

Greetings from Salem, Oregon. Thanks for clearing up the difference between Israel and the Church.

You are very welcome

Thank you!! I’m loving these teachings! Thank you for such Biblical truths and all the scriptures! From South Africa.

[@PSALM-rj1cm]

True...true....our expectation is heavenly, while Israel's is earthly ie..."a nation of kings and priests on earth". When that which restrains is removed(spirit filled believers), then shall the anti-christ be revealed, and God will turn His sights back towards Israel after the "fullness of the nations come in"...aka "when the body of Christ is complete". "Rightly dividing" the word of truth makes for an unashamed workman :). Thank you James! Glory to God, the Son of His love, and the Holy Spirit! Amen.

Amazingly, I just read these Roman's verses this morning- alittle confusing but it's sorted out now. I especially enjoy the last few of Romans 11.

[@5p1tf1r31]

Who are the ‘elect’?

[@biblebaptistchurchglasgows1299]

Amen, watching from Scotland.

[@carolfowler9353]

Thanks for clarifying!

[@michaelhurley4902]

John chapter 10, Jesus said the two shall be one fold. Paul says that Israel is composed of true Jews who keep the Law, true Jews inwardly. Revelation 19 start to finish with the 7th Trumpet being sounded at Armaggedon and places the Resurrection at the end of the tribulation. Jesus, in Matthew 24, tells the signs of Armaggedon and then the 1Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 Resurrection Trumpet at that time and is the same in Luke 21.

[@farrekkamke9941]

The church is the elect which are the saved. They hath not obtained that he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it

[@JamesWKnoxSermons]

ELEC'TION, n. L. electio. The act of choosing; choice; the act of selecting one or more from others. Hence appropriately, 1.The act of choosing a person to fill an office oremployment, by any manifestation of preference, as by ballot, uplifted handsor viva voce; as the election of a king, of a president, or a mayor.Corruption in elections is the great enemy of freedom. 2.Choice; voluntary preference; free will; liberty to actor not. It is at his election to accept or refuse. 3.Power of choosing or selecting. 4.Discernment; discrimination; distinction. To use men with much differenceand election is good. 5.In theology, divine choice; predetermination of God, bywhich persons are distinguished as objects of mercy, become subjects of grace,are sanctified and prepared for heaven. There is a remnant according to theelection of grace. Ro 11. 6.The public choice of officers. 7.The day of a public choice of officers. 8.Those who are elected. The election hath obtained it. Ro 11. 2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (Elect in this passage is the Nation of Israel according to Ro 10) God chose Israel to be His nation which is election for a chosen people for God but not everyone in the nation of Israel is saved because they refuse to believe and trust in what God has revealed to them Ro 10. ELECTION ALMOST ALWAYS REFERS TO SOMEBODY OTHER THAN A BELIEVER. 1. Jesus Christ •1Pe 2:6 elect, precious corner stone = Jesus Christ •Isa 42:1 my servant, my elect, spirit upon Him = Jesus Christ •1Pe 1:2 the whole verse is dealing with Jesus Christ 2. The Church, in Him •Eph 1:4; 1Pe 5:13 chosen IN HIM before the foundation of the world 3. Angels •1Ti 5:21 elect angels 4. Nation of Israel •Isa 45:4 Israel mine elect, nothing good to say about them 5. Individuals •Ac 9:15 Paul, an individual, was chosen of God •Ro 16:13 Rufus, chosen in the Lord •2Jo 1,13 the elect lady & her children 6. Tribulation Saints •Mt 24:24,22 the very elect Make your election sure: 2Pe 1:10: 2Pe 1:1-9 answers the context----Certainty, full confidence, Help thou mine unbelief. Mr 9:24

[@sigalsmadar4547]

@James Wines Where is the connection between "election" and "salvation" here?

[@gordo191]

The rapture happens when the LORD returns 1st Thessalonians 4 v 14. , and yes the tribulation happens before the rapture, revelation 7 14. Sir who are they in white robes ? Dont you know they have come out of the GREAT TRIBULATION and have washed their robes in the blood of the lamb , israel forfeited its rights to be GODS chosen when they turned their back on JESUS and denied him as the messiah, GALATIONS 3 v 24. For all who are baptised in CHRIST we are ONE for there is no jew neither greek or bond or free neither male or female for we are the seed of David and and are heirs to the promises given to Abraham, we are all spiritual Israelites, Through JESUS CHRIST these promises are for us all who are baptised by the blood of him ,

[@JamesWKnoxSermons]

We will not argue and debate. But since this is our channel and we do not want people reading comments to be mislead we will respond. We clearly understand you like many other think the church will go through the tribulation. As brother James clearly informed others in one of the messages he has many, many books in his library that agree with your comment. But after his studying all of the sources and most importantly the word of God he and our church have come to the conclusion the church will not go through the tribulation. He has taught on this topic many times through the 20 years I have listened to his preaching. He comes with new notes, new material and yet the same out come. The church is taken out prior to the tribulation. He has much scripture to support the teaching, he has books in print on the subject, he has taught from the Bible, many classes on the subject. We individually at BBC have studied the topic. So we are sure we have the correct biblical view. As I mentioned we will not use this forum to argue and debate. We will not make this our pet doctrine as many today do. Brother James is going through the book of Revelation. Not just this subject. We ask anyone who would listen to follow the scriptures; not what Brother James says. And let the hearer decide. He is clearly supporting his beliefs with scripture (in context). So back up to chapter 1 and follow along. See if it’s possible that you learn from what the scriptures teach. If this was a doctrine on salvation we may be more willing debate and argue, but we (saved people) need to go out into the world and preach the death burial and resurrection to this lost and dying world. Sinners need to be saved, there is no time to argue with other believers.CJ

[@gordo191]

@@JamesWKnoxSermonsiam not arguing, I'm just pointing to the scriptures which do not in anyway point to a pre trib rapture. I ask you what is your interpretation of revelation 7 v 14 , " these are the saints who came out of the GREAT TRIBULATION " it says it there fir us to read ,

[@JamesWKnoxSermons]

Point taken. We have have others who read the comments, they can interpret disagreements that go back and forth as argument and debate. The lost look at Christians arguing and use that as an excuse to not consider Christ.CJ

[@tlenker]

​@@gordo191 My first thought was these are Jews that went through the great tribulation and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior and are now among the saved in white robes around the throne. I believe that these may be the "sealed" 144,000, but am not positive. I am looking forward to Brother James covering this when he gets to chapter 7.

[@robertwwhitman]

@@tlenker Rev 7:9 says that these who were arrayed in white robes are those who were "of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues" couldn't just be talking about the one nation of Israel(note also they all were washed in the blood of the lamb (Rev 7:14)).
