That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (John 17:21)

The goal of the Divine redemption is to bring the believer to the spirit paradise when he dies. The concept of eternal residence in the spirit realm, of "making Heaven our eternal home," as being the goal of God's salvation, has no basis in either the Hebrew Scriptures or the New Testament Scriptures. The goal of the Divine redemption, according to the Scriptures, is to conform the disciple to the image of Christ and also to bring him into union with God through Christ.

In the day of Israel's visitation, the rabbis and their congregations must have nothing whatever to do with the concept of spending eternity in Heaven, of golden slippers, mansions, or any other part of Christian mythology. None of this appears in the Hebrew Prophets or in the writings of the Jewish Apostles of the new covenant.

The destiny of the new-covenant Church is to go to Heaven to an uncertain destiny there while the Jews are left to govern an earthly kingdom. This is utterly fallacious. It is anti-Semitic. It is totally unscriptural. Yet some of the recently converted Jews are accepting this erroneous notion—to their own detriment. It is Gentile garbage and any Jew ought to recognize this.

According to the Scriptures, the role of the Church of Christ, the Israel of God, when it comes to maturity in Christ, is to bring justice to the peoples of the earth.

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth justice to the nations. (Isaiah 42:1)

In the day of Israel's visitation, the rabbis and their congregations must have nothing whatever to do with the teaching that the Church of Christ will spend eternity in Heaven while the Jews govern a flesh-and-blood kingdom on the earth.

There will be a "rapture" before the great end-time tribulation in which the Gentile believers will be caught up to Paradise while the Jewish believers, without the Spirit of God, will be left on the earth to face Antichrist. This abominable teaching has been accepted by many Jewish Christians. What are they thinking of—accepting such blatant anti-Semitism!

In the day of Israel's visitation, the rabbis and their congregations are to have nothing whatever to do with the idea that the Gentile believers will be caught up in a "rapture," while those believers unfortunate enough to be Jewish (God's chosen people) will be left behind to face additional suffering.

To be continued.
