       ACTS 2:21 AND ROMANS 10:13 CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD

       In both Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13 Joel is being quoted
       Joel was prophecy for Israel.
       Joel was not given to us the church the body of Christ. We can
       make some application to us as well.
       [Joel 2:28 KJV] "And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I
       will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your
       daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your
       young men shall see visions:"
       [Joel 2:29 KJV] "And also upon the servants and upon the
       handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."
       [Joel 2:30 KJV] "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in
       the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke."
       [Joel 2:31 KJV] "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the
       moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the
       LORD come."
       [Joel 2:32 KJV] "And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever
       shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in
       mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD
       hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
       ************** Beginning in Acts 2:16 Peter quotes Joel to
       explain to the Jews what was happening. In v30 he says that
       Christ was raised to sit on David's throne in the millennial
       kingdom on earth. In v40 he admonished them to save themselves
       from this untoward generation just as John the Baptist warned
       them the kingdom was at hand. He was telling them to repent
       because the kingdom was still being preached. Before the kingdom
       would be established, they would face the tribulation and the
       day of the Lord.
       Acts is directed to Israel to repent for the coming tribulation
       and the day of Lord preceding the millennial kingdom.
       In Romans 10 Paul is speaking about Israel's salvation. In v8 he
       quotes Deuteronomy ********** [Deuteronomy 30:14 KJV] "But the
       word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart,
       that thou mayest do it." ********** In Deuteronomy God was
       appealing to the scattered Jews to obey his voice, and he would
       gather them and bring them into the promised land. In v6 and v8
       he promises them the new covenant, in which, he will cause them
       to keep his law. In v11-14 God tells them his law is not hidden
       from them, but it's in their mouth and heart to do them by
       believing. In Romans Paul's desire was for Israel's salvation.
       Israel was pursing salvation by the law and Paul was saying in
       v4 that Christ was the end of the law for salvation. ******
       [Romans 10:13 KJV] "For whosoever shall call upon the name of
       the Lord shall be saved." *********** The righteous by faith in
       Christ was in their mouth and hearts, they just had to believe.
       Israel had to confess with their mouth that Jesus was their
       Christ and the Son of God. They had to believe he rose from the
       dead to establish their kingdom. Israel had to call upon the
       name of Christ.
       We too call upon the name of Christ and believe he rose from the
       dead, but this was for Israel's salvation and was not speaking
       of us the church, the body of Christ. In Romans 11 Paul will go
       onto to say Israel will be saved when The Lord Jesus Christ
       saves Jerusalem from attack at his coming.
