    The Lord promises to make a new covenant with Israel. The question I have is whether that refers to modern Israel and the restoration or if it is a new covenant with the Jews. If it is the second option I would them wonder if we will even recognize it be aware of that new…

    Multiple prophets in the scriptures are said to have been shown everything that would happen among the children of men until the end of the world. This vision of all that lay in store on this earth is what I call the eternal vision. It entails not simply a recitation of post and future history…
