God's perfect Lamb is our Saviour...
Joh_1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
IMO the Cross is the center of time, not time as in number of years, It is/was the center of God's plan..His universe.

I really like your post Jason, I had never thought of it that way, Wow, and just to think, there will be a new Jerusalem when Yahweh creates the new heavens and earth. Thank you for sharing that.:amenthe idea of the center of the world to jews is the city of Jerusalem. why? because there the Lord in heaven touched the earth. its where the heavenlies touched the earth. this was changed at the cross. now its wherever a saint goes and does god's will. why that was and is taught in Judaism. we have the full measure given to us by god.
Understood.that could be taken that way. I have that leaning but I don't think it will be a place like the old Jerusalem. we can worship god were we are and talk to him the same. god did this with adam.
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
What does the tense of "ye are come" mean to you guys?
To me it says we are there . When i look around i see we don't act like it. Like the spoiled brat at Christmas who just wants more... We want this and that, God sent us His Son..... forgives us our sin, sent the Comforter, Tells us we reign in life and we pretend it is nothing...we want something more, something new, something different,

So what is your proper name in Hebrew sorry i could not resist. guess mine would be Rebekah
If you will continue to read what Jesus said in Matthew 24, you will find the words, Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
We are to watch for the signs that He gave us.
We are to warn others of the approaching enemy.
We are to use these signs as a witness to the unsaved as well as the new believers that the prophecies of Jesus are coming to pass and to heed His words.
This is how the wise will turn many to righteousness, by being balanced and watchful.
This is the work of a watchman.

erez should mean cedars... just playing around Jason... give me a real name...you called him eretz? the land? jason isn't a Hebrew name. my middle name is and well my last name is Hebrew but not in the bible.
Jesus came and declared the kingdom of Heaven, He sent his apostles forth preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and Paul made known the mystery of the kingdom that has been hidden since the foundations. Please tell me, where in the scriptures you are commanded to warn others of an approaching enemy? Who is the enemy? And how do you turn any to righteousness by showing them unrighteousness?
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' 7 "So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Ezekiel 33:6-9
3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. 4 "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?" 9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13 But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."Daniel 12:3-4,8-12
15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:15,21
45 "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.
Matthew 24:45
The consequences for taking the mark of the beast and worshiping him is:
"If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Revelation 14:9-11
Have you yourself ever warned anyone of these consequences?
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27
