Jonathan Cahn, about whom I spoke of recently, is a God-Spirited man, even a prophet, but his teachings are stuck in "reverse".  In his most recent SAPHIRE (his monthly pamphlet), he speaks of the "Bride" and how we must prepare for the coming of the "Groom" here on earth. The Christ is the "Groom" and Israel is the "bride".

That, too, is what is taught in churches today.

That is what the original  Apostles taught in their missionary wanderings..that is  why they insisted, upon circumcision, which identified them as being of Israel, proselytes, in order to be among those of the "Bride'.

As part of the "body" of Israel, they needed to conform to  the laws of Israel, in accordance with what was taught by Jesus in the flesh.

I'm, circumcised, but I'm damn sure not of "Israel", nor am I a Jew for that matter, but that's beside the point.

 Paul, by his own admission, did not know Jesus in the flesh. But he, more than any other soul, knew Jesus in the spirit!  He was taught by the Spirit of Jesus Christ!

Paul was made a part of the "body" of Jesus..as are all of those "believers" in what Paul was taught.

We cannot be the "Bride", because we are the "Groom".

Caught up to join Him when He descends..remain with Him while He rules on earth, and after 1000 years, ascend with Him to bring order and peace in the firmament.

I grant that this may seem like science-fiction in the extreme, but for believers, it will come to be..paulnbob
