Father Children Israel Jesus
Piecing this together..
Israel is a nation based on the Father.
Jesus is based on the Children.
Israel always focuses on the OneGod, Father.
The gentiles are the Children that 'birthed' from Israel.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 - And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Jesus said John the Baptist fulfilled the first part of Malachi 4:6, fathers to children..
The next part says "children to fathers". So if we reverse the previous it would be gentiles to Israel.
Since God doesn't go backwards in His Plan, then the fathers must be the Israel of the day of Pentecost.
So what did they believe that day? That must be the restoration stated in Matthew 17:11 when Jesus clarified that "Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things." This was after the disciples asked about Elias, Elijah, coming first. Jesus let them know that John the Baptist was the 'Elijah' that turned the hearts of the fathers to the children, Luke1:17 Matthew17:12.. but he was not the one to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.
The Day of Pentecost were Israelites who recognized that the OneGod of Israel was inside the man Yeshua,Jesus, and then had now come inside them.. Jesus being the head, they being the body .. of this new creation of God.. namely God inside humans, homosapien mammals.. who once they be glorified would be the Kingdom He was creating on earth, just for them. For all practical purposes, that is all we know about the one we call God. He is trillions more infinites than our minds can grasp as humans. Or simply said, God is far beyond our grasp. He only has told us the mystery of Who He Is in correspondence to His Plan just for us.
Hearts of the fathers to the children = The God of Israel meeting God inside a human.
Hearts of children to fathers = Gentile 'Christians' restored back to believing like those on the day of Pentecost.
That basically is "the Gospel".
After that - the challenge was keeping it that simple. Paul pointed to that moment of Pentecost continually. So much of what he wrote was trying to keep gentiles focused in the right direction.
If it had been time, Jesus' could have 'raptured' the ones in the upper room. They are the template of the end of the Gentile dispensation.
My simple way of seeing it is that if I time traveled back to the Day of Pentecost, would I fit in?
This is what I believe.. comma,
