Throughout the book of Hebrews, we find this emphasis on that which is new and better. In Hebrews 7:12, for example, we are told that “when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.” When the former commandment is set aside “a better hope is introduced” (7:18–19). Jesus himself is the guarantor of the “better covenant” (7:22). Hebrews 8:6 explains, “Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.” In Hebrews 8:7, we are told that “if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.” And after quoting the promise of a new covenant found in Jeremiah 31:31–34, the author of Hebrews says, “In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away” (8:13). Revelations 1:7 has absolutely nothing to do with Israel nationalism! The Church was Located in Jerusalem first, along with National Israel. Acts Cpt 1-15. The Church is currently located in Jerusalem 2019. COMING on the CLOUDS is a Old Testament motif!!! G-D rides the CLOUDS!! Research it! A sign of HIS PRESENCE and for JUDGEMENT! Jewish nationalism (mosaic Age) Ended in A.D. 70. We are currently living in the Age of YESHUA (Messianic Age) New Covenant. Israel is the Church, the Church is Israel.( Galatians 6:16) YESHUA was the LAST PROPHET to National Israel, HIs prophecy on the destruction of Israel Nationalism (Matt 23:38) has no old Covenant prophets CONTRADICTION! Matt 23:39 speak of the Season of Jewish festival when the psalm of ascent is song. They saw Him come in Judgement VIA the ROMANS (A.D. 70) during the Passover festival.

Cant blame gentiles too much as G-d was doing such miracles for past 2,000yrs. Even the Jews wondered what, why, & if He was finished with them, my Jewish friends confessed to me. Now they are on fire!

God does not show 'the world' (or the disobedient believers) what He does or will do, He only shows His obedient servants what He does and what shall come. In other words what John sees in the spiritual revelation from God is what only His servants shall be able to see. Therefore is Rev.1:7 still something that only His servants will be aware of because only those who are pure in heart (obedient and have transformed their mind to the mind of Christ) are His true servants and are the only whom will 'see' (be aware of /experience/understand) God.

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to SHEW UNTO HIS SERVANTS things which must shortly come (TO HIS SERVANTS) Rev.1:1

The traditional human taught (replacement) theology says that 'everyone' will see Him which keeps the believers bound to a status where they don't take the needed steps into obedience to the Lord, they are still walking on the broad road which leads to destruction. One can not both be destroyed and 'see God' and one must understand that grief and bitterness can not be for the one who sees God.

Does not God call the believers out FROM the world/disobedient believers? Does He not say that believers can NOT have something in common with the world/ disobedient believers? Does He not say that He will hide His face from the disobedient and that one need to 'seek His face'? Should the obedient and the disobedient then anyway have 'in common' that they both will see His face?

Does He not say that 'one will be taken and one will be left and that the door will be closed for those who are not ready to meet Him ? Does He not over and over again speak of a separation, that He will receive His people ONLY if they will be separate and not touch the unclean thing?
Has He not put a curse on those who not obey Him (the unclean thing/disobedient believers) and a blessing on those who do obey Him (Deut 11:26-28) and still people read in the Bible that everyone will see God despite that He says that only the pure in heart, that every eye of those who are pure in heart will see Him and that He will show His salvation only to those who loves and obey Him (Ps. 91:14-16)

The reason why the believer therefore must strive for his personal salvation if he want to see God is that otherwise he will not be able to 'stand' nor 'see' when He will show Himself. Only a totally transformed and 'ready' mind will be able to 'see' Him.

One cannot see the Lord, because the Lord is the Spirit, not a physical person (2Cor.3:18)
Therefore will not anyone be able to point at Him and say 'look there He is'
and the understanding of this will separate the elect from the unbelievers.
Why should anyone be in risk of be deceived if everyone anyway will see the Lord?

"And they shall say to you, See here or see there, go not after them, nor follow them (because they can not see the true Christ). Luke 17:23
"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there believe it not (because they can not see the true Christ) Matth.24:23
"if it were possible (IF it were possible but it IS not possible), they shall deceive the very elect. Matth.24:24

"(therefore) we look not at the things which are seen (with the natural eye), but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen (in the natural realm) are temporal, but the things which are not seen (The Lord who is only in the unseen realm) are eternal.2Cor.4:18
"He has put eternity INSIDE man (the unseen realm and therefore will He only reveal himself inside of man in the same eternal realm) Eccl.3:11

There cannot be one more way to see God if Jesus is the only way to God.

"how (in what manner) is it that thou wilt manifest thyself only unto us, and not unto the world? John 14:22
The answer of this question is well described in a few words by Robert Leighton:

Hi Maria!
I was just praying for you. The lady ( sister) with so deep passion to write for her Lord.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. You make some excellent points here. Thanks for sharing from the heart.

Hi Dave, God bless you and thanks for your prayers.

Just got to add this as long as we're the subject of false doctrines (lies) taught by the gentile Church concerning the Jews and this one is a real whopper. One thing is it's stupid and illogical the oft taught shifty eyed grafting Jewish tax collectors back in the day hated by their own religious people but Jesus hung out with them taking meals with them and choosing one for a disciple,

Matthew of course. They weren't very religious and rather worldly but honest in their trade of book keeping. Now the whole idea that these people were dishonest is stupidly illogical. For if they had of been their own people would have knifed em walking home and the end of a days work, that is if the Romans didn't catch them first for stealing tax money from the empire to crucify them so others would learn that's a real bad idea to do. These guys had to be more than honest for their very lives depended on it, so yeah they were smart and took the risk because someone had to collect the taxes for the Romans and because it was a socially unacceptable job with the high minded religious crowd having contempt for them working for Rome (gentiles). But the pay was excellent so they got rich, honestly rich with no need for grafting that would have been suicide. They did well through the hard work of keeping the books impeccably honestly without little flub ups as a dearth sentence. Anything else taught concerning These awesome Jewish tax collector in Jesus' days is illogically stupid and ignorant, anti-Semitic, false doctrine hogwash.

What's the real point of the replacement doctrine controversy? We forget what Israel is or I should write who he is. Just a guy named Jacob the grandson of Abraham who wasn't a particularly special sinner, same for us all, other than the fact he was chosen by God according to the flesh for the Savoir of the world to enter the world through. No glory to Abraham, Issac or Jacob, all glory to God. The pride based Jewish religious system crucified Christ and it seems to me the brutal persecution of the Jews as a result of that yet haunts them, marring them with a brutally shameful inferiority complex, this coming from the way they've often been treated for generations by the proudly "replacing" gentiles. Religious pride is all the same wherever it's found from Cain on outward down the line. Does Israel want it's pride back? That got transfer over to the gentile Church? Not if they're wise they won't, to pick it back up like a venomous viper of death? Israel yet has her part to play and God knows what it is in detail. It's enough for any of us Jew or gentile to follow in the humble ways of Jesus, more than enough, plenty more then enough of a challenge for any and all of us, and that's the plain and simple the gospel truth with no need to overturn the replacement doctrine that few if any ever give a single thought to, what difference does it make? Who really cares? It's making something out of nothing for what possible good reason? Sorry but sometimes the truth hurts and boy Oh boy don't I know it true !
