For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Although the actual narrative will hardly bear much scrutiny, the themes evoked here would haunt Keats all his life. Later that month, the Hunt household was set into commotion by the arrival of Shelley, whose wife Harriet’s suicide provoked a crisis, as Shelley arranged to marry Mary Godwin (with whom he had eloped in 1814) and fight for custody of his children. No one knows whether Keats had in mind a particular urn: it is known that he drew or traced a vase portrayed in a volume of engravings, Musée Napoléon , that he saw at Haydon’s; and certainly his visits to the British Museum provided other examples as well. Beginning with Abraham, God promised Israel a land and gave the boundaries as the Nile, the Mediterranean, and the Euphrates. The poet thus imagines a narrative, albeit one frozen by the pictorial medium: “Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave / Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare.” This seems to be a moment, like that of the “Bright Star” sonnet, of eternal consummation: “More happy love! Max, Peter wrote to Jews saved under the gospel of the kingdom. A mystery is that which is strange or weird. In Hazlitt’s lectures Keats would have heard the critic both praise and attack the new naturalism of Wordsworth, forcing him in his letters to consider his own position. Most of Keats’s later financial misery can be traced to this decision. The fact that it was a secret directly infers it existed before him. Then is this the group that forms the “Other sheep of another fold” that Jesus spoke of? It’s just a bit forced which is what theology always ends up doing. Use of “chariot,” “horse,” etc. This move to the dreary neighborhood of the Borough, just south of London Bridge, was exciting for Keats. I just don’t see the lines drawn the same way you do. But from your quotation, it is clear Nee did not understand Paul’s unique apostleship or the Church as the body of Christ. 75 days pass after the 1260 days (the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation). If my brother gets saved after the rapture and believes in the resumed Kingdom Gospel and becomes part of the Kingdom on earth for 1000 years, will I be able to travel in my resurrection from heavenly places to visit him on the earth in eternity? Most false doctrine is established when someone decides to misuse figurative literature. Yet, they continue to peddle the fraudulent, unproved claim they are safe and effective. I do not see the city as the bride. He showed no signs of tuberculosis for another year, his constitution was by no means frail (he was stocky and athletic), and he was not overly sensitive to criticism. Brown’s account is simple and moving: “one night, at eleven o’clock, he came into the house in a state that looked like fierce intoxication. Vs 25 reads; 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. Just looking for the truth…I have your book on Paul now and look forward to reading it! Indeed, in 1857, Alexander Smith, in the Encyclopædia Britannica (eighth edition) entry on Keats, could proclaim, with some exaggeration, that “With but one or two exceptions, no poet of the last generation stands at this moment higher in the popular estimation, and certainly no one has in a greater degree influenced the poetic development of the last thirty years.”, Keats brought out the warmest feelings in those who knew him, and that included people with a remarkable range of characters, beliefs, and tastes. It comes to earth after the Millennium, after God creates a new heavens and new earth.

Despite some remissions in the spring, he continued to hemorrhage in June and July. and we are to be doing this 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. That is why there is so much confusion regarding understanding Revelation. I cannot remember if Nee addressed Israel and God’s role to them or if Nee saw the distinction between Israel and the Church. Doctrine, you are performing a great work. Edgar Allan Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is primarily based on his ingenious and profound short stories, poems, and critical theories, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in both poetry and fiction. Literature for him was more than a dreamy refuge for a lonely orphan: it was a domain for energetic exploration, “realms of gold,” as he later wrote, tempting not only as a realm of idealistic romance but also of a beauty that enlarges our imaginative sympathies. This poem would effectively mark the end of Keats’s poetic career. I just find your strong dispensational framework a bit hard to swallow. Hunt enabled Keats to write and, eventually, to surpass him. Israel is that bride. Paul’s secrets are the key to Christian theology. So there we have it. Kaitmo, This statement was in the context of the Tribulation—those who help Jews (probably the 144,000) during that time. The opening lines are as solemn and subdued as any Keats wrote: “Deep in the shady sadness of a vale / Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn, / Far from the fiery noon, and eve’s one star, / Sat grayhaired Saturn, quiet as a stone.” All the Saturnians have fallen into a dark, still world, where time itself creeps slowly into their dawning senses. God bless you. 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning.

Brian, We must be constantly vigilant about our freedoms. BUT why does the gospel of mark say this Mark 2:19 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? Others see the lines dissolving all doubts in an absolute aestheticism that declares the power of art to transform painful truths into beauty. They will have to seal their testimony with their blood, and will most likely be persecuted by the beast, and die just as Christ Died. It clears us so much confusion!! I encourage you to become a serious exegete of the Scriptures and understand the details, the meat of God’s word, and not just focus on the big picture. This poem is a first attempt—and an interesting one—at that extraordinary poise he would achieve between romance and disillusionment almost a year later in The Eve of St. Agnes. 19 “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, in lovingkindness and in compassion, 20 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Eve was made form a piece of Adam’s Flesh. 2 The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord will designate. I also don’t believe Romans 11:25-26 is futuristic. That’s the problem. God is unified perfectly in His dealings with man. The new Jerusalem of Revelation 21 was that city. Vanessa, Yes, rejection of Pauline truths has been the source almost all heresy and apostasy. Jesus’ refrain is “he who has an ear, let him hear” and His command is to persevere and endure. The Elect, are the 144,000 people of Hebrew Descent who will be gathered from the four corners of the earth by the Seraphim of the Lord, and they will be taken to the Land of Goshen In Egypt, and will be protected by The Most High. He also arranged for John Taylor, of Taylor and Hessey, to become his new publisher, and this association was, both emotionally and financially, to be a source of real support for years to come.

If you will do a study on μυστήριον you will see that pretty much everything Paul wrote was a secret. The Hunts took him in, as they had years before at the beginning. And it has. Amen. His father was seriously injured when his horse stumbled as he rode home, and he died the next day. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. His purpose has never changed. Joe, The woman in Revelation 12 is national Israel. Keats was not overly hurt, however, since he saw Wordsworth several times more in London, dining with his family on 5 January 1818. It then tantalizes us with a desire to experience the eternity of the beauty we create. On 25 July 1816 Keats took, and passed, the examinations that allowed him to practice surgery, and left London for the fashionable seaside resort of Margate. Again, everything is Jewish. The mystery was not the church. I understand that as Believers we are grafted in and become apart of the body of Christ but aside from the descriptive language of a groom and a bride and a wedding party, do not both believing Jews and Gentiles make up the body of Christ? Paul wrote that he began the Church, even as Abraham began Israel. For breakups, heartache, and unrequited love. For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Joe, Psalm 45 is the Father speaking of the Son to bride, Israel. Within a few weeks he would meet Shelley‘s publisher Charles Ollier, who would bring out Keats’s first volume. In that address, He warned them not to be deceived and to endure to the end (Matthew 24.4, 11, 24, 13). No land was ever ‘Israel’ until the zionist state of ’48. God would no longer deal directly with the human race. He also uses an illustration of sourdough bread making. Trying to understand how Israel gets to heaven to marry Christ ,,asthe wedding is in heaven .. Dear Doctrine Sorry if my question offended you somehow ! will skew the way you view the Church, the gospel, the promises, and mission. During these months, his friendship with Benjamin Bailey deepened, and he saw little of Hunt. You seem to have little interest in these specifics and to be blunt, it appears you are just lazy. He recalled that Keats, one morning in the spring, on hearing a nightingale’s song, “took his chair from the breakfast table to the grass—plot under a plum tree, where he sat for two or three hours.” Brown later saw him stuff behind his books some papers which proved to be his poem. Paul is to the Church what Abraham, Moses, and the prophets were to Israel. Be Blessed. In Matthew 25.34-36 passage the “other sheep” are those of John 10, Jews who will believe in Him and remain faithful to Him during the Tribulation. 23 and 26 – “I in them.” I think the bigger problem comes in when we start trying to understand/interpret scripture from the wrong starting place. Brown, Severn, Clarke, Reynolds, and others all contributed to his Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats, which, whatever its flaws as a reliable scholarly biography, was widely read and respected. Keats responded to Clarke, in a letter of 9 October, “‘t will be an Era in my existence.” It proved to be. But if these elements in Hunt’s poetry seemed declassé to his and Keats’s critics, today one cannot say that Hunt’s influence on Keats was in any simple sense bad. 3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. It was soon quiet once again. The lovers are “forever panting,” since fulfillment outside of temporal process is a contradiction forced on the urn by the very logic of the speaker’s questioning. But Jesus taught that Husband and Wife are made one Flesh. do not convey the essential nature of our relationship to Christ. If yes, what happens to the people from the 1000 year reign on the earth when it gets burned up? The character of these assemblies is Jewish. I wouldn’t say my focus is only on the big picture. But the nightingale—or, rather, its song as the imagination elaborates upon it—is immortal, and in “ancient days” belonged to a world of enchantment. Paul became proxy Israel, i.e., believing Israel, whereby God could bless Gentiles apart from disobedient, national Israel. Abel was not a ‘Jew’ nor ‘Israelite,’ and netiher was Noah, Seth or Abraham. By May 1819 Keats’s relationship to Fanny Brawne was strained by her again moving next door, intensifying his frustration and anger at himself that he could not provide for her and marry her. On the Isle of Wight he sat alone for some weeks, writing to Haydon of his new passion for Shakespeare, whom Haydon had read to him with inspiring gusto, whose works he had brought along, and whose portrait he hung up over his desk (he took this portrait with him everywhere all his life). But it would be wrong to judge Keats (or Fanny) by the letters of 1820, written by a Keats at times desperate and confused, feverish and seriously ill. The Church is nowhere present in any of the parables. More “screw Cupid” than “Be mine.”. The second child was a daughter named Lo-ruhama (not pitied) and the third child, a son, was named Lo-ammi (not my people). The most popular idol being ‘man’s free will’; thereby refusing God’s attribute of sovereignty. I am confident we will meet one day. If the Jews do no inherit this land God is a liar and will cease being God. it is not a universal mystical body as most teach it today – primarily because of the Scofield Bible and his notes and misinformation about the church. Keats was thought of as a poet whose talent, though its development was cut short, was the equal of Shelley’s and Byron‘s. He traveled often to Hunt’s in these months, his friendship growing with the witty young Reynolds and the crotchety, energetic egomaniac Haydon. Revelation 18:23 Context. And the ones who did the good deeds to the “least of Jesus’ Brethren”, Jews also? Paul declared members of the body of Christ have been made complete in Christ (ἐστὲ ἐν αὐτῷ πεπληρωμένοι, Colossians 2.10). For one thing Hunt was not Keats’s only model. great teaching Don thanks–no one gets this right! He returned to London in late September and took rooms near Guy’s Hospital, 9 Dean Street, and amid the gloomy little alleys began again his work as a dresser until he could formally assume the duties of a surgeon on his twenty-first birthday in October. But imagination needs temporality to do its work. Most twenty-year-old poets need a model of some sort, and there were certainly more banal models in his day from which to choose. (Because the churches were in “houses”) Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. In other words, the Church is not part of Israel but a separate entity. Rom_7:4; 1Co_10:16; Eph_4:12). Certainly this close teacher-pupil friendship with Cowden Clarke, these evenings at the headmaster’s table, and the long late-night rambles discussing books borrowed from the library, were crucial in making John Keats a poet. This feeling was accompanied with a good deal of Pride and some conceit; and that amongst mere Medical students, he would walk & talk as one of the Gods might be supposed to do, when mingling with mortals.” We need not, perhaps, take this memory too seriously, but clearly Keats wanted to think of himself as a man of literature. This is what seems to be indicated in Hosea 2.8, 13, 3.1, 4.12-19, etc. The word means “secret.” Paul clearly stated the Church was a secret, the Rapture was a secret, his gospel was a secret, the blinding of Israel was a secret, etc. As is explained in Revelation, this is not to take the mark of the Beast which is likely what Revelation 3.10 is about. 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. The covenant at Mt Sinai was conditional. Clarke himself was a friend of the radical reformers John Cartwright and Joseph Priestley and subscribed to Leigh Hunt’s Examiner, which Cowden Clarke said, “no doubt laid the foundation of [Keats’s] love of civil and religious liberty.” He was advised to spend the winter in Italy. But nothing in prophecy even hinted at the Church, in which Jew and Gentile would be equal in Christ. Keats’s first volume, Poems, appeared on 3 March 1817, with its dedicatory sonnet to Leigh Hunt. This period was the one Joseph and Mary were in when she was found to be with child (Matthew 1:18; Luke 2:5). It is spiritual. The further the questions are pushed the more they seem to reveal only the artifice of the questioner, not the urn’s hidden truth. Keats carefully copied out this sonnet, along with some other poems including the sonnet “How many bards,” and gave them to Clarke to take to Hunt at his Hampstead cottage. This city is built upon twelve foundations, and on them are the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, representing all the New Testament saints. Yet Keats was striving for some sense of resolution in these months, as autumn approached. The Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a Biblical doctrine (Romans 5.9; 1 Thessalonians 1.10, 5.9). The Twelve were apostles of Israel, not apostles of the Church. Until Tom’s death two years later broke it up, this would be the happiest household Keats would know. None of this is present in Paul.
