Therefore the existence of Raelians is evidence that Rael is the promised deliverer? Sabateans existed also. So?
Maybe it would be wiser to ask, What have the Raelians ever done for us?
In Acts 5:33 there is a passage in which we are told the Sanhedrin sat to pass judgment of death on Peter and the apostles. Verses 34-40 reads, 'Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who were slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.'
Based on the wisdom of Gamaliel, and the Sanhedrin's decision, I suggest that the apostles must have been doing a work of God. So maybe Tanna debe Elyyahu was correct in his teaching after all. We do live in the Messianic era, and we are still in the sixth millennium.
So what will indicate that the exile of Israel is over?
