Amillennialism fails the test, Supersessionism also.


Reject me, crucify me, thrust me out, but let it ring in your ears that God is immutable and His word.

A school teacher can have 10,000 students, and yet have taught them all error. How sad also for the ones the students will teach.

Psalm 119:89
For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.

Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

Please don't take refuge in Calvin and Augustine or Luther. They are not shields. I am no shield. Faith is a shield, "Have faith in God." The sword is a defensive weapon too, perhaps I defend against the errors of the "early church fathers” and the error of all who are following them. But it is not the gospel that needs defending, it is our hearts.

Proverbs 4:23
American Standard Version (ASV)
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

Are not the Holy Scriptures the gold, silver, and costly stones? How can we afford to build with such precious materials? Blessedly we can buy them all for a dollar! (NASB or NKJV or KJV Paperback) They are free on line! But it is their true and singular message which will cost us time and prayer mixed with faith to be able to build with them. It has been my experience that after close and prolonged examination of "the materials" I find it is God who writes them on my heart in memory and begins to associated them according to their meaning and "use." And though I read other men's writings, I trust that God will help, even cause me to "prove all things and hold fast to that which is good." TY Lord God for that!

John 7:16-18 (a verse to meditate on!)
American Standard Version (ASV)
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

How humble Jesus was, the seven eros giants were under His Feet!
  • Jesus didn't get all liquored up to feel good, nor did He seek the words of men to sooth His feelings. 
  • He didn't get all gussied up to look good, or do miracles as a show off.
  • He didn't preach and teach His own doctrine to be right
  • He didn't have to strive to stay in control, He was led of the Spirit and obedient to His Father. 
  • He didn't have an agenda except to do His Abba's agenda/will. 
  • He didn't take an advantage but laid His life down in obedience to His father. 
  • And He didn't try to remain undisturbed, He was often "mobbed," yet when Abba called Him into solitude He obeyed Him.


Matthew 23 

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Luke 19
37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

I am turning my anger at the devil who has deceived so many and still deceives many. My confidence is in God who loves me and has everlasting wrath stored up for satan, his angelic following and the unbelieving world.

Who wants to believe verse 6 of Zechariah 12? Israel again conquering the nations around her? Israel in ascendancy over the unbelieving gentiles who persecute her (see verse 9)(even TODAY)? Ah, but who longs for the redemptive sorrow and repentance of verse 10?

Zechariah 12
American Standard Version (ASV)
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Thus saith Jehovah, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
2 behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Jehovah of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah.
8 In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto 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 first-born.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
14 all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Matthew 23:39
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Can we think that Jesus who came to seek and to save the Lost SHEEP of the House of Israel was referring to gentiles in verse 40 below? I think not, He was speaking to Jews about His own kin, also Jews, and likely to those who would be hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, because of the deprivations they would suffer for their faith in Him. I don't see that Jesus intention is to forget the gentiles here, but the Gospel IS for the Jew first and He came first unto His own. That the first (Jews) shall be last also (all Israel shall be saved) shows how close to the end of the church age we are.
Matthew 25 

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

Jesus had the gentiles covered:

John 10
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

It IS frightening to think that some may not be hearing Jesus voice, but the voices of Calvin, Luther, Augustine and Origen and others. You never met any of those men. Or that you are simply listening to these voices of the past in preference to the Scriptures which are inspired by Him who has the power of an endless life. For Him and for all I trust is of God, I STILL URGE YOU to pray that God the Holy Spirit teach you His word, not mine, not Calvins or ANY other mere man's. If you are not willing to ask Jesus for the truth, leaving it to Him to teach it by God the Holy Spirit, you can have no spiritual judgment at all! And if by asking and trusting Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they do not completely demolish the doctrines of supersessionism and amillennialism... I will simply continue with the Scriptures, the gospel of Jesus, his church, its rapture, the great tribulation, the salvation of all Israel, the return of the Lord and the Messianic Kingdom.
Apply all the 5 "solas" to the 6th sola. The 6th is the scripture. Apply in (1)faith for the (2)grace of the (3)Messiah and the (4) Holy Spirit for the (5) Glory of God the father that They teach you the Holy Scriptures. No man can do that as they can. As I have need of correction for my temper and for other matters, admit at least that God can correct any errors and heal any disease. Yet we do have to be willing to be corrected. So can you say Lord Jesus IF our doctrine is erroneous. please show us plainly. We want to please you, we want to know You and hear only Your voice that we may receive Your doctrine always.

Matthew 25 
32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.
46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
