In whom is the New Covenant fulfilled? [Several suggestions] have been given (one's decision on this question will be determined by the interpretation of Luke 22:20 (Mt. 26:28; Mark 14:24); 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6; Hebrews 8:6-13; 9:15; 10:15; 10:19ff.). 1. The New Covenant was given exclusively for ethnic Israel and will therefore be fulfilled only in her at the end of the age when Israel as a nation is saved. The Church has no part in the blessings of this covenant. 2. There are two New Covenants, one for ethnic Israel and one for the Church. 3. There is only one New Covenant, for Israel, in which the Church shares spiritually. I.e., those blessings in the covenant which pertain to salvation are equally enjoyed by the Church, but those that pertain to earthly prominence in the land belong solely to Israel. 4. There is only one New Covenant. The Church, being the historical continuation of the believing remnant within Israel, is the recipient of its blessings. Thus, both believing Jews and believing Gentiles, the latter of whom have been graciously included in the covenants of promise (Eph. 2:12), together and equally enjoy the fulfillment of all aspects of the New Covenant. According to this view, there is a biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people who will then be incorporated into the Church, the body of Christ. 5. There is only one New Covenant, of which the Church, which has replaced Israel in the purposes of God, is the recipient. This is commonly referred to as Replacement Theology. According to this view, there is no biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people. 6. here are two covenants, one for the Jewish people and one for those (whether Jew or Gentile) who embrace Jesus as Messiah. The latter comprise the Church. The former are Jews who need not believe that Jesus is the Messiah but who relate savingly to God via Judaism.

REV 8:1 I kad otvori sedmi peèat, posta tišina na nebu oko po sahata.
REV 8:2 I videh sedam andjela koji stajahu pred Bogom, i dade im se sedam truba.
REV 8:3 I drugi andjeo dodje i stade pred oltarom, i imaše kadionicu zlatnu; i beše mu dano mnogo tamjana da da molitvama svih svetih na oltar zlatni pred prestolom.
REV 8:4 I dim od kadjenja u molitvama svetih izidje od ruke andjelove pred Boga.
REV 8:5 I uze andjeo kadionicu, i napuni je ognja sa oltara, i baci je na zemlju, i postaše glasovi i gromovi i sevanje munja i tresenje zemlje.
REV 8:6 I sedam andjela koji imahu sedam truba, pripraviše se da zatrube.
REV 8:7 I prvi andjeo zatrubi, i posta grad i oganj, smešani s krvlju, i padoše na zemlju; i treæina drva izgore, i svaka trava zelena izgore.
REV 8:8 I drugi andjeo zatrubi; i kao velika gora ognjem zapaljena pade u more; i treæina mora posta krv.
REV 8:9 I umre treæina stvorenja koje živi u moru, i treæina ladji propade.
REV 8:10 I treæi andjeo zatrubi, i pade s neba velika zvezda, koja goraše kao sveæa, i pade na treæinu reka i na izvore vodene.
REV 8:11 I ime zvezdi beše Pelen; i treæina voda posta pelen, i mnogi ljudi pomreše od voda, jer behu gorke.
REV 8:12 I èetvrti andjeo zatrubi, i udarena bi treæina sunca, i treæina meseca, i treæina zvezda, da pomrèa treæina njihova, i treæina dana da ne svetli, tako i noæi.
REV 8:13 I videh, i èuh jednog andjela gde leti posred neba i govori glasom velikim: Teško, teško, teško onima koji žive na zemlji od ostalih glasova trubnih trojice andjela, koji æe trubiti.
