Isn't it great to see 'Christians' all guided by the Holy Spirit in agreement
When they are guided by the Holy Spirit they ARE in agreement, dear designs (peace to you!).
ISA 6:13 And there will still be in it a tenth, and it must again become something for burning down, like a big tree and like a massive tree in which, when there is a cutting down [of them], there is a stump; a holy seed will be the stump of it."
Yes, but I am not sure you truly understand what... or rather WHO that "holy seed"... and "stump" is, dear Larry (peace to you, as well!), but we'll discuss that in a sec.
We are familiar with the concept of the gentiles being wild olive branches being grafted into a tree where the Jews were lopped off.
Some of us, perhaps, yes...
Yet it has always been clear that the "root" was to remain Jewish.
This isn't quite accurate, dear one. While the part that IS accurate may be clear[er] to you and me, I am not sure just how "clear" it is to you... because your next couple of comments are even more inaccurate:
In this case, a "Jew" is interchangeable with Israelite.
Sort of. A Jew IS an Israelite; however, an Israelite is not necessarily a Jew.
Thus the root is the remnant of natural Jews who still remain in the kingdom.
Ah, yeah, see? No. The "root"... is the Son of God, the Holy One of Israel and Holy Spirit, His Christ. The natural Jews are the branches... some of which are lopped of (as you stated, above). However, it is by means of the ROOT... that the entire tree can grow again. Consider, if you will:
"For there is hope of a tree,if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease."
"And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."
"Forthe Son of Manis Lord of the Sabbath."
"Then JaheShua said to them, "The Son of Manis Lord of the Sabbath."
"So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
"Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant SPROUT."
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branchin methat bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remainin me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."
"And again, Isaiah said, 'There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust."
"And JaHVeH made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the gardenwere the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the treeare for the healing of the nations.
"I am the... life."
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
Hopefully, that helps you "see" as to WHO that Root is - it is not the Jews or the nation of Israel... but the Tree from whom they sprang, Christ. If not, no worries - I am just a servant; it is not up to be as to who is to receive the message.
Now, after Armageddon, Satan is abyssed
Sorry, but another inaccuracy. First, "Armageddon" is not an event; it's a place. It is the place where the Most Holy One of Israel wages HIS War. Second, the War that takes place not only after Satan is abyssed... but after he is loosed again... AFTER the 1,000 years:
"Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon."
"Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army..."
"And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time."
"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-Gog and Magog-and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
My sincere apologies, but there's just way too many other inaccuracies in the rest of your post for me to address right now, so I will have to leave off here.
Again, however, peace to you!
A slave of Christ,
SA
