Putting Things in Their Rightful Place

When reading The Holy Bible, We must know that while all Scripture is written for us, not all is written to us. Genesis, chapters 1-11 is written to the human race. Genesis 12 through the Gospel of John is written to Israel. Acts is a transitional, going from Israel to the church in Acts, chapters 1-8. Acts 9-the book of Philemon, written to the Church. Hebrews and James, written to Israel. I Peter through Jude, written to Church. Revelation 1-4;2 deals with church Revelation 4;3-end of chapter 18 deals with Israel. Revelation 19-22-deals with Church. Paul W. Foltz

A CLARIFICATION IN ELECTION

One must keep in mind, that there are two, distinct, groups of people elected by God. there is those of elect Israel, God's earthly elect people, who will inherit the new earth. And there is The Church, God's elect heavenly people, who will be with Christ, throughout Eternity. both are chosen by the Father. The nation Israel for Jehovah's wife, and the Church, as the Lamb's wife. Though both are elected, their destinies are entirely different.
