You must also understand who that prophecy is given to. N O T E S To fully understand the Old Testament you must be able to rightly divide the book of Revelation and understand the truth in it.

N O T E S Looking at in reverse order… If you don’t have a proper view of Chapter 11than you don’t have a proper view of the Book of Revelation If you don’t have a proper view of Revelation than you don’t have a proper view of the Old Testament.

(Rev 11:2) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. N O T E S 1.

Key #2 The proper placement of the Jew and the Nation of Israel N O T E S Your interpretation of this chapter and the events that happen in it, will determine what you believe about the rest of the Bible, because this chapter will determine whether or not you correctly place the Jew biblically and historically. Miss placing the Jew is a very serious matter in the Bible. Although we have to deal with this false doctrine in today's world, it is not a new doctrine. (Rev 2:9) I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. S M Y r N A THE SEEDS IN THE SMYRNA CHURCH PERIOD The teaching that God is finished with Jew through the influence of the Ante- Nicene Church fathers They taught that we are not only spiritual Jews but physical Jews, therefore all the promises to the Jew are now given to the church. Jesus calls this teaching Blasphemous and Satanic. (Pro 22:28) Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. (Pro 23:10) Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: S M Y r N A THE SEEDS IN THE SMYRNA CHURCH PERIOD When you take and remove the Jew in the Bible, you enter the fields of the fatherless. The 4 most controversial doctrines in the bible today all stem from the removal of the Jews • Baptism • Eternal Security • Tongues • Millennial (Keys to the Kingdom) N O T E S We live in a time when 94% of confessing Christians believe in the Replacement theology They believe that because we as Christians are spiritual Jews (Rom. 2) than we are also physical Jews. If we are physical Jews then all the promises given to the Nation of Israel, is now given to the Church. God replaced the Jews with Christians and the Nation of Israel with the Church Key #3 The proper view toward the Millennial reign of Christ N O T E S What you believe about the Jew will put you in one of 3 categories doctrinally concerning the Millennial Reign of Christ. 1. Pre-millennial 2. Post –millennial 3. Amillennial Rapture Characterized by a belief in a separation between Israel and the Church in the biblical time-line. Classic Dispensationalists believe that the biblical clock for Israel stopped running at the “Stoning of Steven” which began the Church Age. The clock will begin ticking again at the rapture when Christ returns for the Church. Characterized by a belief in a golden age(Millennium) brought to pass by spiritual means (ushering in the kingdom) before the return of Christ, also in direct contrast to Premillenialism. Also Post-Tribulational in relation to the Millenium and return of Christ. Literally means no Millennialism. This view is characterized by a belief that the Millennium may not be a “literal” 1000 year time period. Those who ascribe to this belief do not believe in the Millennium in the same sense as that of the Dispensationalists. They do not believe in a “literal” 1000 year reign of Christ on earth before the eternal state brought in by Christ’s return. This Millennium period is believed to occur symbolically/figuratively between the first and second advent of Christ. N O T E S The Millennial reign is a political issue because it always deals with Government and authority on Earth. (Mat 19:28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Joh 18:36) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. (Isa 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isa 9:7) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. N O T E S The difference between correct Bible doctrine and false doctrine is whether or not someone is a premillennialist. A premillennialist knows where to place the Jew correctly in the scripture Satan’s biggest device to cause people to go astray is the Bible out of context. By getting a person to apply a scripture to them self that was not intended for them they place themselves in false doctrine making them 2 fold the candidate of Hell Key #4 The proper application of doctrine in the New Testament
