What do you believe the Bible teaches regarding the nation of Israel if they would have been faithful to the Messiah? What would we see for ethnic/national Israel today, and how would it affect the concept of the Church (if at all)?
It seems that sacrifices would have been abolished still, but would the temple have been destroyed?
Just how faithful would the nation needed to have been? 50% of the populace accepting Christ? 75%?
**************
Side note: what if all the world had accepted Christ, how would His sacrificial death have occurred?
How faithful would Israel have needed to be?
Re: How faithful would Israel have needed to be?
I think in Revelation it says the slaying of the lamb was determined before the foundation of the world so possibly the important moments and decisions had to happen. Things like Adam's sin and Israel rejecting Christ. Perhaps if Israel would have accepted Christ he would have been seen as a Jewish Messiah only and the gentiles would not have accepted him.
