Role Jesus Judaism

Does God continue to guide the Christian movement today? How so?

I’m studying the book of Acts. One of the main themes seems to be how God guided the early Church.

Acts tries to establish a clear continuity between Judaism, Jesus, the Apostles, and the church. Is there still a continuity that goes from that church they established to today’s Christian community? I know that Catholics believe the Catholic Church fulfills that role. How do Protestants view it?

Thanks

There are two groups, and they are always seperate. There is the chosen people of Israel, and there is the gentile church. When the gentile church seeks to call itself “spiritual Israel” they are in extreme error. Paul, in Romans 11, makes it crystal clear that God has a destiny for Israel that she is yet to fulfill, and that is to bring the Gospel to the gentiles. This will be fulfilled by the 144,000 JEWS not JWs in the tribulation period.

When Jesus comes and reveals Himself the second time to Israel, she will believe. And Jesus will save her from the hand of her enemies in His second coming.

As of now, the times of the gentiles is almost at an end. When the rapture takes place, all eyes will be on Israel, and no one but God will be on her side. But of course, God against the world makes a majority.

This plan and time line is illustrated clearly in the study, The Seventieth Week of Daniel. See link below.

The gospel narratives of the Passion cast the Jews as responsible, directly and indirectly, for the death of the Son of God. The stigma of “Christ killer”-the notion that all Jews, at all times and in all places, share in the collective res…
