Weekly Bible Study Romans Part VII

Romans 10:1-15 - We cover the end of the law for righteousness, (Jesus Christ), the righteousness of the law versus the righteousness of faith, the prophetic program* for Israel from Abraham to the 12 apostles, why Jesus had to die, The Tree of Life, entropy and the eternal nature of creation, defining righteousness, another purpose of the law, the establishment of God's "peculiar" people through which He would bring Messiah, the Body of Christ compared to the Nation of Israel, the setting aside of the prophetic program for a "grace period", (in which we now live), and how God wants us to live today,

*The prophetic program for Israel prophesied by the Old Testament prophets, Jesus, and 12 Apostles starting with Abraham and going to the end of the world, as I understand it, goes like this:

Israel would be a nation of priests (Ex 19:6, Isa 66:21, 1 Pet 2:5-9, Rev 1:6. Rev 5:10). Their Messiah would come through their physical line (Gen 17:17, 28:14, 49:10 - fulfilled in Luk 3:34, 2 Sam 7 12-13 Fulfilled in Mat1:1). Messiah would die for Israel’s sins, (Isa 52 & 53:7 Psa 22), be buried 3 days (Hos 6:2, Mat 12:40) and rise again (Psa 16:10, Psa 22 19-21, Mrk 9:30-32, Mat 17 22-23). He would give them His Holy Spirit, (Isa 32:15, 44:3, Joe 2:28) and send them out to preach His Kingdom to the world (Isa 66:19, Mt 24:14). Their preaching would lead to persecution (Zec 13:9, Mat 24:9) the rise of the Antichrist (Dan 11:36, Mat 24:15) then Messiah’s second coming, (Rev 19: 11-15, Zec 14:16, Mat 24:2) to destroy his enemies at the  battle of Armageddon (Zec 14:3, Rev 16:13-16, 19:19), and then to bind Satan and reign over the world from Jerusalem for 1000 years (Mic 4:4, Isa 2:4, Rev 20:6) before finally releasing the devil for one final, short season (Rev 20:7), proving man's inability to overcome sin and death & the devil’s inability to defeat the Lord, & establishing the Lord's authority to finally judge all things. Then the end of this universe (Isa 34:4, Rev 21:1), the Great White Throne Judgment of the lost (Rev 20: 11-15), and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth (Rev 21).
