Brother Dolph,dolph wrote:Scofield believed that believing Jews were an earthly people with earthly promises. The Jews who accept Christ AFTER His second advent, when they see the holes in His side and hands, will rule on earth with Him but won't have the glorified bodies that the Church is promised. These Jews will resume their prophesied future just as if the Jews at Christ's time had accepted their Messiah. They will rule the nations and evangelize the world, as I understand things with Dr.Dake's help.
The believers since righteous Abel are now in Heaven and part of the Bride of Christ. But what about the Jews currently in Heaven? Will they receive glorified bodies or return to earth and join the earthly Jews with a carnal body? Many Old Testament Jews believed in a resurrection but knew little about being born again and becoming children of God with glorified bodies,
One can also make the case that the Jews in Jerusalem after the crucifixion had a different Gospel than "Paul's gospel of grace". They had the gospel of the kingdom which was about the earthly kingdom they expected when their Messiah arrived. At the Jerusalem Council 50 A.D. it was agreed that the Jerusalem apostles would stay in Jerusalem and minister to the Jews and that Paul, Barnabas and others with the Gospel of Grace would go to the heathen.
