Will Jesus Enter the Eastern Gate For the First Time or, Again?

[Rose of Shushan]

Quote:Thanks Rose. and maybe if my grasping of it is in the right direction, this may be where Jazzy is erring with regard to the "millenium" - she is seeking a "country"?

Well I cannot claim to speak for Jazzy,especially as his/her responses have been less than jazzy lately so not sure where theyre at really.
But those that look to a "millenium" wih a Temple and sacrifices seem to have been looking at the earthly country and forgetting the eternal heavenly one.
Or as the verse in Galatians refers to

Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

they are still focusing on an earthly Jerusalem,with the sacrifices and laws pertaining to the Old Covenant which gendereth to bondage and not to the eternal Jerusalem from above.
