"Bullinger on Revelation"


 

Mr Molver, In all my years of study it has become clearer to me that you are absolutely right in your response. Another example is the Book of James which is written to the 12 tribes scattered abroad, that's not Church Language. That's why there is a difference between what Paul and Peter preached. Peter preached to the circumcision, which encompassed Jewish believers in the Messiah, an up until 70 AD still had their Temple Worship (the Jerusalem Church). Paul preached to the uncircumcised, which is the Gospel of Grace (Body of Christ), which also in this dispensation includes some Jews, but mostly Gentiles. I will not make myself clear, but on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached to the whole House of Israel. If they would have repented the times of refreshing would have come, but they would have had to endure the tribulation, to which all Jewish Prophets point. If one were to take out all of Paul's Epistles, you would basically go from Acts to the End Time New Testament Tribulation scenario. An example I have heard is it is like looking from one mountain peak to another, but you can't see the valley in between. Peter couldn't see or the other Jewish writers couldn't see the Body of Christ, which was a mystery revealed to Paul only. Let the Body of Christ be removed (another of Paul's mysteries), then the focus is on Israel being prepared for her coming King as she goes through the tribulation. I didn't do this justice. I am still a work in progress of study. God Bless, Jimmy
