Does Scripture teach there is NO MORE CHURCH, CHRISTIANS or HOLY SPIRIT on earth!?
No Holy Spirit since 70AD =
No Christians since 70AD =
No Church since 70AD =
just people today in the 21st century duped into believing that they are Holy Spirit indwelt Christians and the church when they are NOT! The Holy Spirit was for Israel Only in her last days 30-70AD. THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS FOR ISRAEL ONLY! Read it here from the Bible. https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-holy-spirit-was-for-israel-only-by.html
Where are the greater works than Christ that He said His followers would do; like miracles, raising the dead, restoring loss limbs, feeding millions of starving people, healing out every hospital for God’s glory alone!!??? Nowhere! Plus, the fake Christians doing the magik show always needs seed money! Lol
Have you done the WORKS of Jesus and GREATER THINGS? https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2025/06/do-you-believe-in-jesus-and-have-done.html
Wide is the way that leads to destruction and MANY enter!
Narrow is the way that leads to life and FEW find it. There are 2.4 BILLION few people on earth in 2025 that think they are Christians. Lol
In 2025, there are now over 2.4 billion people who think they are “Christians” living in disunity with other believers in 43,000 different denominations teaching diametrically opposed doctrine. Lol. What a disgrace to unity!

“CHURCH” is NOT a translation of “EKKLESIA” but a substitution that has created a faulty shifting sand foundation of all sorts of BS!!! https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2024/06/ekklesia-and-not-church-which-is-not.html?m=1
Christ married His Bride, The Ekklesia in 70AD.
WEDDING SUPPER OF CHRIST & HIS BRIDE/ THE EKKLESIA: “CHURCH” is NOT a translation of “EKKLESIA” but a substitution that has created a faulty shifting sand foundation of all sorts of BS!!! Is The Church (Ekklesia) still present on earth?
https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2021/05/is-church-ekklesia-still-present-on.html?m=1
Since Christianity came to its fulfillment and end on earth in 70AD, this means the ekklesia is in heaven married off to Christ, the bridegroom and living happily ever after….
So, what’s on earth!??
Anything on earth claiming to be Christian today is a CULT!!!!

Israel Only (IO) and the Fulfillment of the Gospel
IO POSITION PAPER
Israel Only (IO) and the Fulfillment of the Gospel
Introduction
The question of the gospel’s scope is foundational to understanding the New Testament. Was the gospel a timeless, universal message for all humanity, or was it covenantally bound to Israel and fulfilled in the first century? The Israel Only (IO) position argues that the gospel was a covenantal message given exclusively to Israel—the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, including proselytes and other outsiders who entered Israel’s covenantal framework—and that it reached its fulfillment with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70. The IO perspective is not speculation but is built upon consistent audience relevance, covenantal context, and textual integrity.
⸻
Thesis
The gospel was not universal, but covenantal. It was given exclusively to Israel, fulfilled by the time of AD70, and is not applicable to humanity today.
⸻
1. The Gospel’s Covenant Context
The gospel cannot be separated from the covenants and promises made to Israel.
• Jesus declared He was sent “only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt 15:24).
• Paul affirmed that the gospel was “the promises made to the fathers” (Rom 15:8).
• The New Covenant itself was promised explicitly “with the house of Israel and the house of Judah” (Jer 31:31).
The IO position insists that these statements must be taken in their historical and covenantal context. To universalize them is to strip them from their original audience relevance.
⸻
2. Ethnē and Kosmos in Context
Critics argue that terms like ethnē (“nations/Gentiles”) and kosmos (“world”) must include all humanity. But language is always contextual:
• Ethnē frequently referred to diaspora Israelites scattered among the nations (John 7:35; Rom 9:24–26).
• Kosmos often referred to Israel’s covenant world, not the globe (Jn 3:16; 15:18-25, 18:20; 1 Jn 2:2; Rom 5:12; Heb 9:26).
• Even in Acts, the so-called “Gentiles” often turn out to be God-fearers, synagogue attendees, or diaspora Israelites (Acts 2:5–11; Acts 13:16, 26).
To flatten these terms into a universal sense ignores the biblical pattern of covenantal language.
⸻
3. The Imminence of Fulfillment
The New Testament writers were not vague about timing:
• Jesus promised “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” (Matt 24:34).
• Paul expected the resurrection and judgment in his own lifetime (1 Thess 4:15–17; 1 Cor 15:51).
• The apostles declared that the gospel had already been preached “to all creation under heaven” (Col 1:23; Rom 10:18).
If these statements were not fulfilled, then the apostles were false witnesses. IO takes them seriously: the end of the age was not a future global event but the covenantal transition culminating in AD70.
⸻
4. The End of the Law and the Gospel
The gospel was never about rescuing all humanity from “universal sin.” It was about Israel’s redemption from the Law and covenantal death:
• Paul wrote, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law” (Gal 3:13).
• Sin was imputed only where the Law existed (Rom 5:13). Since only Israel was under the Law, only Israel needed redemption from it.
• Once the Old Covenant passed away in AD70 (Heb 8:13), the need for the gospel ended.
No covenant, no curse; no curse, no need for gospel.
⸻
5. Answering Common Objections
Objection 1: “Genesis 12:3 says all nations will be blessed.”
IO Response: “All nations” is fulfilled in Israel’s diaspora regathering, as scattered Israelites (called “nations”) were brought back into covenant blessing (Deut 30:1–6; Acts 2:5).
Objection 2: “Revelation says the everlasting gospel is for all people.”
IO Response: Revelation is apocalyptic and symbolic. The “all nations” theme mirrors Israel’s worldwide scattering (Deut 28:64). The “everlasting gospel” was covenantal, reaching all Israel across the nations before the end (Matt 24:14; Col 1:23).
Objection 3: “Paul says all have sinned (Rom 3:23).”
IO Response: In context, Paul is speaking of Jews and Greeks (diaspora Israelites) under the Law (Rom 3:19). The “all” is covenantal, not universal.
⸻
Conclusion
The IO position affirms that the Bible is not a universal message to all humanity, but a covenantal story of Israel’s redemption. The gospel was the announcement of the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, culminating in Christ’s return and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70. After that moment, the covenant, its curses, and its need for redemption were finished.
Therefore, the gospel ended nearly 2,000 years ago. To universalize it is to misapply the text, distort its context, and create a religion never intended by the biblical writers. For more information, visit the FB discussion group The IO Collectove.

Hebrew - Israelite - Jew
Before becoming Abraham, he was Abram from Ur “of the Chaldeans” (modern day Iraq.).
God instructed Abraham to go west to Canaan.
The word, “HEBREW” is used 36 times in the NET. It’s first use is in
A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshkol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram.
13 A fugitive[a] came and told Abram the Hebrew.[b] Now Abram was living by the oaks[c] of Mamre the Amorite, the brother[d] of Eshcol and Aner. (All these were allied by treaty[e] with Abram.)[f]
Footnotes
- Genesis 14:13 tn Heb “the fugitive.” The article carries a generic force or indicates that this fugitive is definite in the mind of the speaker.
- Genesis 14:13 sn E. A. Speiser (Genesis[AB], 103) suggests that part of this chapter came from an outside source since it refers to Abram the Hebrew. That is not impossible, given that the narrator likely utilized traditions and genealogies that had been collected and transmitted over the years. The meaning of the word “Hebrew” has proved elusive. It may be related to the verb “to cross over,” perhaps meaning “immigrant.” Or it might be derived from the name of Abram’s ancestor Eber (see Gen 11:14-16).
- Genesis 14:13 tn Or “terebinths.”
- Genesis 14:13 tn Or “a brother”; or “a relative”; or perhaps “an ally.”
- Genesis 14:13 tn Heb “possessors of a treaty with.” Since it is likely that the qualifying statement refers to all three (Mamre, Eshcol, and Aner) the words “all these” have been supplied in the translation to make this clear.
- Genesis 14:13 tn This parenthetical disjunctive clause explains how Abram came to be living in their territory, but it also explains why they must go to war with Abram.
The term "Hebrew" comes from the Semitic root ʕ-b-r, meaning "to cross over" or "to come from the other side," and is traditionally linked to Abraham's journey across the Euphrates River. In the Hebrew Bible, Abraham is first called "the Hebrew" (Ivri). The name can also refer to Abraham's ancestor Eber or represent a moral and spiritual separation from other nations. An alternative theory suggests the term comes from the Akkadian name for the region "Beyond the River" (Eber Nari), which would make "Hebrew" an exonym referring to inhabitants of that area.
Key aspects of the origin of "Hebrew"
- The first use of the word "Hebrew" (Hebrew: Ivri) in the Bible refers to Abraham.
- The word is believed to be derived from the root ʕ-b-r, meaning "to cross over" or "to come from the other side".
- This "crossing over" is often interpreted as Abraham coming from Mesopotamia across the Euphrates River to Canaan.
- Another theory connects it to Eber, a significant figure in Abraham's lineage.
- "Hebrew" may have been an external term, an "exonym," used by outsiders to describe people from "across the river" (the Euphrates).
- The term could also stem from the Akkadian and Aramaic name for the region "Beyond the River" (Eber Nari), which was the western Babylonian province.
- Some scholars link the term to the Habiru, a group of seminomadic people mentioned in ancient texts who migrated or were nomadic.
- The term was sometimes used by non-Israelites, such as Egyptians and Philistines, as a derogatory term or racial slur, but it was also used by the Israelites as a term of self-identification.
- Abraham’s son was Isaac.Isaac’s son was Jacob.Jacob’s name was changed to Israel.Israel’s sons were the 12 tribes.His sons were, in order of their birth:
Reuben
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Dan
Naphtali
Gad
Asher
Issachar
Zebulun
Joseph
and Benjamin.
He also had a daughter named Dinah, born to his first wife Leah.
The 12 Tribes became known as thekingdom of Israel when they conqueredthe land of Canaan and received theirportions of land.After the death of the third King of Israel, Solomon,The Kingdom Divided into The House of IsraelIn the north with 10 tribes and The HouseOf Judah in the south with 2 tribes: Judahand Benjamin. The word, “Jew” comes fromJudah.
A JEW is a subset group of The Kingdom of Israel.A JEW is from Judah.When The Kingdom of Israel divided with 10 tribes in the north called, “The House of Israel” and 2 tribes in south called, “The House of Judah,” those in and from the house of Judah were called JEWS!Every JEW is an Israelite.But not every Israelite is a JEW!Just like every Californian is a US citizen but not every U.S. citizen is a Californian.The word "Jew" originates from the Hebrew name Judah (Yĕhūḏāh). It was the name of one of the tribes of Israel, descended from the patriarch Judah, and eventually the name of the southern kingdom and its inhabitants, the Judeans. The term passed through Aramaic to Greek (Ioudaios) and Latin (Iudaeus), and then into Old French (giu) before becoming the English word "Jew".From Judah to JudeaLinguistic Evolution- The Hebrew term Yĕhūḏī (meaning "of Judah" or "Judean") was borrowed into Greek as Ioudaios.
- From Greek, it entered Latin as Iudaeus.
- This Latin form evolved into the Old French giu, dropping the "d" sound.
- Finally, through influences from other languages like German and French, the term entered the English language as "Jew".
