Barney,<BR/>What I should have said was God's plan includes in it all possibilities and secondary causes.<BR/>After Christ arose from the dead, the only prophecies left to be fulfilled were those of His 2nd coming. The Church is not found in the Old Testament, but was revealed to Paul [Ephesians 3;1-10]. So IIF Israel had repented the first coming would have been the 2nd coming, with John the Baptist being Elijah in Spirit. But God foreknew Israel wouldn't repent.<BR/>The verse you referred to in Hebrews was written years later, by Paul, AND HHAD NO BEARING THEN.Dr. Paul W.

You stated that if Israel did something then Christ would have come back. That makes Christ's return delayed. I read in the Bible that he would not tarry. That eschatologically theological postion just don't fit the rest of the Bible on Christ's coming. If God is absolutely sovereign then at no tie was HE dependant upon mankind to carry out His plan.Barney Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190520743761802860noreply@blogger.com
