P. RUCKMAN AT HIS BEST.

If you are ever discussing the Bible and the other people debate against proper dispensational division, know that they are arguing from a flawed foundation.

Thank you brother for posting this message. I believe Scripture when it says the OT & NT saints are made perfect (resurrected/raptured) together in Hebrews 11:40, and again in Hebrews 12:22-24. I believe all the saints in salvation history comprise the cultivated olive tree and are sons of Abraham, counted righteous by faith; the "Israel of God." In addition to Hebrews 11:40 and 12:22-24, another reason we know the OT saints are glorified together with the NT saints is revealed in Hebrews 11 & 13… Hebrews 11:10 "For he (Abraham) was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God." Hebrews 11:16 "But as it is, they (OT saints counted righteous by faith) desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city." Hebrews 13:14 “For here we (NT saints) have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” Both OT & NT saints, made perfect together, constitute the bride of Christ and seek the city to come, the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2), which God has prepared for them. I believe Scripture reveals that the glorified saints, ransomed by the blood of the Lamb from every tribe and language and people and nation, and redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, will serve as a kingdom of priests (Revelation 1:5-6; 5:9) in the Millennial (Messianic) Kingdom, judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28), the world (1 Corinthians 6:2), and angels (1 Corinthians 6:3). Thank you for publishing messages that diligently share Scripture.

Hebrews 11:26 "He (Moses) valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward."

1- Get yourself a KJV 2- You can't take one verse of a book that is dedicated to the Jews during the tribulation and ignore the abundance of verses (pointed out in the video) that show the Old Testament saints had NO idea about Christ's death and resurrection.

@@LastCall777 Brother, you understand that your argument is with the Word of God and not me, right?

[@LastCall777]

@@BrotherInChrist no argument with the word. Just know how to rightly divide is all :)

[@spencerbrown5063]

Where Dr. Ruckman is wrong here is that it was counted as righteousness- it was a covering. And that is why they went to paradise. But Jesus went to paradise were talked to by Jesus when He died and went to Paradise and that is when Abraham was imputed righteousness and joined the church and went to the third heaven.

[@broswordsaintgideon]

Wonder if he's answered a question on the difference the difference btw the acts 2:38 believers who got in through faith plus works vs we today where both Jew and gentile get in through faith because the acts 2:28 believers also seem to be in the body of Christ.

[@LastCall777]

he does. Look at the video entitled dispensationalism and something to fear. In short, those early christians in acts were all Jews and needed signs bc the bible says signs are for the jews. Then, in Act 7 they stone Stephen and deny christ as a nation. So God turns to the gentiles.

[@broswordsaintgideon]

Thanks! Not sure if it'll answer what I'm wondering about but will definitely check it out and then let you know if it helps clarify things for me.

[@broswordsaintgideon]

Checked it out. It didn't quite answer the question I have but it was still a blessing to me nonetheless so thanks again for the recommendation 🙏❤️😌

[@kenkelble358]

​@@LastCall777 good answer thats a fact.

[@KingjamesAV1611]

@@LastCall777 do you have anything on the difference between church age saints and tribulation saints? My question is: Are tribulation saints "IN Christ", if they die a martyr or make it through the Tribulation?? Hebrews 6 says they can partake of the Holy Ghost 🤔 1 John 3:1-2 is "doctrinally" directed to Tribulation saints and says they are sons of God as well.
