The slaughter of the ancient Hebrews
along with the downfall of Jerusalem and the Old Temple in AD 70 was
God’s way of releasing Himself from His marriage to them via the Old
Covenant, thus legally permitting His marriage to the whole world via
the New.
As per the law, God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable (Romans 11: 28-31).
So God had to irrevocably kill all the remaining non-Christian Hebrews,
otherwise he would have had to keep the Old Covenant alive and thereby
undercut and undermine His Son’s New Covenant.
God does not have both the Old and the
New Covenants being enforced at the same time. He only has one. The New.
And contrary to what many would have you believe, He’s not married to
His bride the Church on the one hand while having an affair with his
mistress the modern state of Israel on the other. Modern-day Israel is comprised of converted Jews and not of Hebrews – with whom God had the Old Contract – and therefore it is a state that has nothing to do with God’s word in the Bible.
“By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete is outdated.” Hebrews 8:13
When Christ returns to end the world, it will be like a great harvest. This is how Jesus described it:
“…at
the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together
the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat
into my barn.” Matthew 13:30
The tares will be gathered first. Not the Saints.
“Then we who are alive and remain
will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thess 4:17
