No-one was killed by Jesus' sword, unless you are somehow speaking in metaphor; or, as you appear to, subscribe to a strange and uncommon form of Christianity.
Nope, physically made dead. It's called the Bible according to God. step one would be the connection between Ge:3:15 and all of Re:12. Once the relationship can't be denied then what do you do?? If it is new to you you should hear it out before you judge how valid my replies are.
Isa:55:11:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Re:19:21:
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,
which sword proceeded out of his mouth:
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Jer:25:31-33:
A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth;
for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations,
he will plead with all flesh;
he will give them that are wicked to the sword,
saith the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
Behold,
evil shall go forth from nation to nation,
and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented,
neither gathered,
nor buried;
they shall be dung upon the ground.
Zec:14:12:
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,
and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
What part of Isaiah 65 would you like explained?
Lol, All of it, the same as I would do for you. (in that it is the same group from start to finish how would you be able to explain just part of it to begin with?)
But most scholars and Christians believe that Luke was a goy. Luke, as you know, wrote the 3rd gospel and Acts. Also if, as you believe, G-d can somehow break an eternal covenant (his covenant with the Jews) and create another (Christianity) then I'm pretty sure He could have non-Jews scribe a book, just as He apparently had with Luke. Also, the author of Hebrews us unknown and, despite many Christians' claims, we have just as much evidence for who actually wrote the other gospels and epistles: none. So they could have been Jews or goyim, no-one knows.
The Gospels are based on eye witness accounts. Mathew, Mark and Luke cover two events that only Peter, and the brothers James and John saw so it is a safe bet that is who. Peter would be given the longest one and the family tree would have been information gathered at the wedding that is mentioned in the Gospel of John (the Baptist) via the un-named Disciple. The odds are also pretty high that the 4 Gospels were written before the 40 days after the cross was up. Written in flawless Greek by the same Scribes I have mentioned.
This passage is referencing the Jewish people. Zechariah 13 is a passage about idolatry in The Land of Israel and G-d is speaking about how the idols will be cut down and He will be worshipped only.
The passage that starts Zec:13 ends before the chapter ends.The last 3 verses belong to the passage that covers all of Zec:14 and guess who is being killed yet leaves a remnant?? It is mistakes like this that ruins your ability to come up with a solid doctrine.
The 'little ones' are the Gentiles in Acts:10 and they are the first of the Gentiles and the last ones would be the ones in the farthest part of the globe. The scattering in in Matthew in the passage where the Apostles ditch him in the garden during the arrest.
Zec:13:7-9:
Awake,
O sword,
against my shepherd,
and against the man that is my fellow,
saith the LORD of hosts:
smite the shepherd,
and the sheep shall be scattered:
and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
And it shall come to pass,
that in all the land,
saith the LORD,
two parts therein shall be cut off and die;
but the third shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the fire,
and will refine them as silver is refined,
and will try them as gold is tried:
they shall call on my name,
and I will hear them:
I will say,
It is my people:
and they shall say,
The LORD is my God.
Zec:14:1-3:
Behold,
the day of the LORD cometh,
and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled,
and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the LORD go forth,
and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec:14:16:
And it shall come to pass,
that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King,
the LORD of hosts,
and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
'In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land."'
. . .and . . . what??
Many Jews actually speak Hebrew and spent years studying in Yeshivos. Also, neither they nor I care who is responsible for the authorship of the Christian Testament.
You should, John the Baptist was the last Prophet called by God in the same fashion that goes all the way back to Moses and it was his Disciple that wrote the Gospel of John and Revelations so they are as valid to Jews as any of the OT works. The Gospel is the ending to the bruise to the heel part of Ge:3:15 and Revelations contains the ending to the bruise to Satan's head. Their pride and blindness is done all on their own.If Daniel had those two books there would have been no un-answered question at the end of his book. Phonetics over meaning.With the Bible the meaning is what is being looked for.
