Is there a good read on an understanding of the apostles belief in a future literal Reign of the nation Israel? This verse is very dispy.

Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

And the other words spoken about Him being elevated as a literal earthly King of the Jews.

2 seperate peoples, the circumcision and the uncircumcision... The Acts 15 council appears to set a dispy slant on things.

Please do not take this as a thread to condemn dispy thought. I just read this recently in the writ and wondered aloud

Hi Nicholas,

Check out this book. I just finished reading it the other night.

"It is a throne of grace that God in Christ is represented to us upon; but yet it is a throne still whereon majesty and glory do reside, and God is always to be considered by us as on a throne." –John Owen

And in Revelation 5 it speaks of the saints reigning on earth. I disagree with classical dispensationalists but there is no way you can "spiritualize" that one.
