𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟰𝟬The Church Eschatological Scope encompasses various aspects of the end times, including:𝟮. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 (𝟭𝟬)Luke. 16:24, “23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."We have stated that the Jews are constantly wailing at the Wailing Wall saying:"On account of the priests, who have stumbled, we sit lonely and weep. On account of our kings who have despised Him (Jehovah) we sit lonely and weep. Oh, make haste, O Redeemer of Zion: speak to the heart of Jerusalem. May the royal government shine over Zion. Comfort those who mourn in Zion."When Pilate wanted to let Jesus go, we read of their outburst;Matt. 27:25, “Then answered all the people, and said, 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.❞The plague which devastated Europe in the Middle Ages was ascribed to them with horrible results. In France, throughout whole provinces, every Jew was burned.In Germany, too, their history for centuries is a hideous chronicle of human cruelty, culminating in the monstrous holocaust during the Second World War, as we mentioned earlier on.𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝘆"When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst, I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water," Isa. 41:17-18.But, thank God! it can be obtained. Never has the cry, "I thirst," gone up unto GOD, never did man feel his need of God, and cry for Him, and unto Him, without getting God. To every thirsting soul on earth, thus says the Lord: “Answer will come.”Paul said Rom. 11: 25-31, “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.” 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗹𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱Luke 16:23, “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence.”THE GREAT GULF Listen ro this ,"This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall you hear," Acts 7:37."For had you believed Moses, you would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe My words?" John 5:46-47.When the rich man in hell begs for mercy, he is reminded that "there is a great gulf fixed" in between the poor man in Abraham's bosom and him in his hell, "so that they which would pass from us unto you cannot, neither can they pass to us that would come from thence." What created the gulf? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀There is certainly a great gulf fixed today between the Jews who have suffered hell during this dispensation of the Church and the people who are now enjoying the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant. All based on their rejection of the Christ and the acceptance of Him by the Gentiles.So the Word says;Gal. 1:27, “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”"A great gulf fixed." For the house of Judah to return to Abraham's bosom today would mean for the Jews to return to the bosom of Jesus Christ. And this seems to be far from the present tendencies or aspirations of the Jewish people. THIS GREAT GULF actually explains the reason why the Jew is the hardest and most discouraging mission field in the world. Accepting the gospel which other nations, drug addicts; etc., can easily accept is difficult for the Jews to accept this message of the Gospel.That’s the gulf we’re talking about. Not some deep holes somewhere in the ground.The ProphecyThis difficulty of acceptance is a product of the prophecy of Isaiah;Isa. 6:6, “Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 9 ¶ And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”And Jesus came and said;John 12:37-41, “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe…”But now, unlike the Jews, the Gentiles and others have been awakened! Their eyes see it—their ears hear it—their hearts understand and respond! Yet the Jew is under the grip of the spirit of slumber! A deep sleep from the Lord has fallen upon them, and they simply cannot understand anything that is said or preached about the Lord Jesus Christ. Not that they aren’t hearing, but they CANNOT hear. So many are still dying with this gross darkness. All in a state of a spiritual COMA.Luke 16:27, “Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” The answer to that request is simple. The Word is more important than someone rising from the grave to preach the Gospel to them.And, in fact, they denied Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. And that’s exactly what Abraham meant when he said ‘no need,’ for they have the Word in Moses and the prophets. Which is what Jesus demonstrated to the disciples on the road to Emmaus.In Luke 24:44-45 we read;"And He said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures." John 5:46-47, "For had you believed Moses, you would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe My words?" So Jesus commissioned His apostles, sent the Holy Spirit, and formed them into the nucleus of His Church. He delivered to that Church the commission to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and to disciple A-L-L NATIONS—Lazarus in Abraham's bosom!The Rich Man went to his hell. And there is a Great Gulf between to this very day! But as bad as the situation may be, there is hope for the Jews at the end.Rev. 1:18; 3:7, "Him who has the key of David, who opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens, who HAS THE K-E-Y-S OF DEATH AND HELL…" Now can I say this. That THE CHRIST HIMSELF CROSSED THAT ABYSS. There is the difference!Though Abraham could not, for he said there is a great gulf fixed. Even if he were to have tried, yet he didn’t have the keys to the gates. But the Christ crossed that Gulf, and HIS SALVATION BRIDGED IT. Christ bridged it! The Christ, Himself, IS THE BRIDGE! "Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely," Rev. 22:17. Zech. 12:10, “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn…13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.”For "A-L-L Israel shall be saved" (Rom. 11:26). Then the gulf is fully bridged.www.davidogaga.org.#Eschatos_DO ... See MoreSee Less
