Thinking about Israel and The Church as two entirely distinct entities is the basis for various type of deceptions. In this writing we will relook at this subject.

Be prepared to have your understanding broken down. Be prepared that breaking down your understanding of the conceptual relationship between Israel and The Church has implications that affect your understanding of the End Times and who the targets (i.e. audiences) of End Times scriptures. Realigning your understanding does affect your understanding of the so called “Rapture”. I refer to it as the so called “Rapture”, because this is another subject of much deception.
