Hi Alan:
: Christendom never was in the New Covenant.
If this is true, then they cannot be compared to the ancient nation of "Israel," who was indeed in a genuine covenant-relationship with the God of Israel, Jehovah. This being the case then, none of the Bible prophecies applying to "Israel" rightfully should be applied to Christendom as anti-tyical Jerusalem/Israel.
Of course we both know that the WTS has made numerous applications of this nature to Christendom, and condemned them for this.
A review of WTS commentary on Daniel 11:30 would prove to be most interesting, as far as its application. Check it out in the WTS publications.
Thanks for your commentary...I appreciate your response.
