If it wasn’t for Gentiles then it isn’t for Gentiles Today
Just a cursory read of Exodus 19 leaves no possibility for an interpretation that God is dealing with any other people or nation but Israel, the Jews.
To inject a message of salvation or doctrine for the Gentile world at this moment in time (Exodus 19; 1500 BC) is a grave error. The promise of a King and a kingdom is explicitly for the Jewish people. To say that the Church today was the ecclesia in the wilderness is hogwash and a lie from hell. That is a clear attempt to usurp Scripture to get what you want from God.
NOTE: The apostle Paul makes it clear that all Scripture is for our learning (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). But Paul also makes it crystal clear that we are to rightly divide the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 3:1-11, Titus 1:9).
Exodus 19:1-6, like ALL the Old Testament, are foundational to the Christian faith and building blocks to the revealing of the mystery (secret) of the gospel of grace (Romans 16:25-26).

Because these pastors believe that the church has replaced Israel in God’s prophetic program, they see no scriptural significance in the reemergence of Israel as a nation. As a result, they do not believe we live in the last days, nor do they recognize the signs of the […]
