I think the fact that the temple was destroyed is evidence that God has replaced the Law covenant with something far better, the new covenant. This is in
line with God's covenant with Abraham that "all the nations of the earth will be blessed by means of him." (Genesis 18:18)
If that were true, then there would have only needed to be one Temple not two. As after the destruction of the first, it would have been evident that G-d was replacing the Law covenant with something far better...
So....the covenant (however you see it) is to be bestowed on every mind and heart?
Or is it intended for those people chosen?
All men?.....or just a few?
Are you asking me?
couldnt it be at all possible that God removed the temple as a way to show his people plainly that the new covenant was in effect?
Dont you think that if God wanted the mosiac law to be the way to approach him, he would have kept the temple standing???
That depends. Do you think that in the time of the Second Temple, if someone lost his parents (and can't perform the commandment to honor his father and mother), would you say that G-d is showing him plainly that a new covenant was in effect?
This YHVH, the lord, talking about the covenant he is going to 'cut' with the HOUSE of Israel, not you, you are not Israel.
Ask: who is the House Israel?
Ahaaa, I see.
