Produktbeschreibung
When Jesus began his ministry, he encountered much resistance. As the announced Kingdom of God was based on principles that were not generally accepted at that time, Jesus had to lay a new foundation on which the new covenant and everything associated with it would be based.Even today, the view of Israel, on which much of the Christian community bases itself, is greatly influenced by Jewish thinking. Israel and the Jews are said to play a pivotal role in God's plan of salvation. The question is whether this emphasis on Israel is supported by the Bible as a whole and, in particular, the New Testament.This view is examined in detail based on the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of John and the teachings in the First Epistle of John. The author aims to demonstrate that this view of Israel is not supported by the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. By focusing primarily on the spiritual nature of the Kingdom of God, the author seeks to demonstrate that a physical Israel has no placein the present age. The descendants of Abraham are those who believe in Christ.
Autorenporträt
The author was raised in a Reformed setting and grew up with the Bible. From an early age, he wanted to become a missionary or a pastor, but personal circumstances prevented him from doing so. He came to faith in 1972 and was baptised in 1992. Since then, he has been involved in various evangelical settings. Since 2013, he has focused on this full-time. His passion for the Bible has grown stronger over time, guided by the motto, 'Thy word is true...' (Psalm 119:160a). He has also developed a passion for building a spiritual house, which has resulted in the creation of a multilingual website called www.huis-van-god.nl that focuses on the Bible, the gospel and the New Covenant in Christ and how these relate to the Israel of God. The author is wary of using isolated texts to impose our own "truth" on the Bible rather than extracting the truth from it. This passion has recently resulted in the writing of a number of books.
