There seems to be an increasing number of Christians today who are convinced that the Jewish people are no longer God’s chosen people. To them, modern-day Israel is considered irrelevant and not part of God’s prophetic plan, and the church is now the chosen people of God. I’m here to tell you: those who hold to that position are dead wrong.

Thankfully, as Paul writes in Romans 11:1, “God has not cast away His people.” The Apostle further emphasizes his point by saying, “God forbid!” The truth is that Israel is our insurance policy, as shown in Jeremiah 31:35-36. God will keep His promises to Israel, and we can be assured that He will keep His promises to us.

Some of the greatest promises made to believers are found in Romans chapter eight, where Paul says in verse 28, “And we know that all things work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

In verses 37 to 39, Paul continues, “Yet in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.”

Wow, what wonderful promises!

And yet, consider this: what hope is there in those promises? What hope is there in believing them if God is finished with Israel and has somehow “unchosen” His people? If that is the case, Romans eight doesn’t mean very much at all. But you see, Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, addresses this as he inserts Romans chapters 9-11 following chapter eight. In these chapters, he clearly teaches that God is not finished with Israel and that one day, all Israel will be saved, physically and spiritually. That is the remnant that the prophet Zechariah also spoke about in the 13th chapter.

Paul issues a warning to all believers about this very mischaracterization as he speaks of the natural branches of the olive tree being Israel and the wild olive branches being the Gentiles. The Gentiles are now grafted into Israel’s spiritual blessings in the new covenant we read about in Jeremiah chapter 31. In Romans 11:20-21, Paul writes, “Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith.” Here’s the warning, “Do not be haughty but fear, for if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. “

Be careful, church! Do not be led astray by this false teaching of replacement theology.

Those who promote replacement theology will cite verses like Romans 2:28-29,  where Paul says, “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh, but he is a Jew who is one inwardly. And circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter, whose praise is not from men, but from of God.” Does this say anywhere that God has “unchosen” His people, Israel? No. Paul is simply making the point that just because you are Jewish doesn’t mean that you are in the right with God. If you’re born in a Christian home, does that mean that you are automatically in the right with God? No. God has no “grandchildren.”

What are some other verses that are used to promote this false idea of replacement theology? Many will also point to Galatians 6:15-16. Let’s look at that. Paul, writing to the Galatians, says, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” The argument insists that Paul is referring to the Gentiles as “the Israel of God.” This claim is also incorrect, as Paul was simply speaking about Jewish believers.

Let’s go a step further. If you want to think that we, the church, are now a spiritual Israel, let’s look at Romans 10: 1-3, putting “the church” in place of “Israel.” Paul, writing to the Romans, says, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [the church] that they might be saved. I bear [the church] witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge for [the church], being ignorant of God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.”

Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? “The church” replacing “Israel” stripped these verses of all their meaning. The truth is plain to see: God has not “unchosen” His people, and He has not forgotten about His promises to Israel.

God made promises to His chosen people 4000 years ago in Genesis 12. God unconditionally swore those promises to Himself in Genesis 15. In Psalms 105:8-11, the psalmist, speaking of God, writes: “He remembers His covenant forever, the word which He commanded for a thousand generations, the covenant which He made with Abraham and His oath to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute to Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying to you, ‘I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance.'”  Because of that, friends, we can rest assured that when we read Romans chapter eight, God will keep His promises to us as well. Amen, praise the Lord!

God has also chosen the church, and some of these false teachers will point that out as part of their case. In 1 Peter, chapter two, we read that we are chosen. However, this truth does not void Deuteronomy 14:2; it does not mean that He has “unchosen” the Jewish people.

Thank God that the Jewish people are still the apple of His eye, as we read about in Zechariah chapter two. God promised that He would regather His chosen people back to their ancestral homeland in Israel and one day save them physically and spiritually through the Messiah (Ezekiel 36-37, Zechariah 12, etc.). We see their spiritual restoration happening at the end of the “time of Jacob’s trouble,” otherwise known as the seven-year tribulation period.

The church should be very careful not to spread this false narrative that modern-day Israel is irrelevant and that the Jewish people are no longer His chosen people. They are His chosen people, and they have a very bright future, which we should be celebrating. I will close with Romans 11:12, where Paul says, “Now, if their fall is the riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness.”By Robert Gottselig

You present two issues: 1) modern State of Israel, and 2) Jews. 

All Jews who have faith in Jesus Christ are saved. 

The modern State of Israel is not Godly but secular, and anti-Christian. 

But God, through His abundant grace and never ending mercies, has placed His faithful servants in the modern State of Israel, who risk their own safety to proselytize Jews in the name of Yeshua. 

Organizations like 'So Be It', 'One for Israel', 'Jews for Jesus', and others are lifting the veil for many Jews in Israel that have been kept in the dark by Pharisees and Rabbis that continue to hate on Yeshua.  Praise God for His faithfulness.

Oh, this is from someone else. I thought you wrote this. Well, in that case, short answer:

If you're not part of the new Covenant in Christ's blood, you are irrelevant in His eternal Kingdom. Christians are God's chosen people because they " accepted" Him.

Most Christians don't know that the bloodline of Jacob occupies the most important aspects of the end times. 

The prophet Joel wrote about the return of all bloodline descendants of the man God named Israel from other nations. 

When He calls her back, she will be punished, as God promised, and then restored, as God promised, and she will receive her intended purpose, just as God promised.

God is quoted making this very specific promise, which has not come to pass, and John's Revelation speaks of the fulfillment this promise. (But then, if one does not understand scripture outside of their accepted narrative, it's essentially invisible to them.)

 

Sadly, I've encountered only a few individuals who actually know what Scripture says about God's ultimate promise is to Bloodline Israel.

Does anyone know what this specific promise is?

(An answer should be acknowledged with the specific scripture reference that actually answers the question. ...just asking nicely, please...)

God promised Abraham a great nation, a land, and that through him all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3).

Hi FOJonathan,

 

God`s promises to Israel will be fulfilled through Jesus. (Big difference there.)

Israel is called out of the nations. The Church is called out of Israel and the nations. (Ekklesia - called out ones)

`And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them AND upon the Israel of God.` (Gal. 6: 16) (detail AND)

Yes there is one body of Christ includes Jews and Gentiles but then they are not those ethnic anymore but the NEW MAN.

Yes, the present state of Israel is not Godly but mostly secular. However, as God`s word says it is His ZEAL that will change them, by His Holy Spirit. (Isa. 9: 7     Zech. 12: 10)

God has purposes for the Church, Israel and the nations. That is why He made them. Not for an `oops,` but for His purposes. 

  • Thanks 1

Hi MC.

Re: AND

The Greek kai also means 'even' or 'even so'.  So, Galatians 6:16 "... even so upon the Israel of God."  And since one of Paul's themes in the book Galatians is the faith of God's people, that all God's people are those of faith in Christ, all those of faith in Christ are children of Abraham, and the children of Abraham are Jews and Gentiles of faith in Christ.  Therefore the Israel of God are faithful Jews and faithful Gentiles that comprise the one and only bride and body of Christ.  There is no more partition between Jews and Gentiles. (Ephesians 2:14).

God the Father will bring All Israel into the  NC
Ezk 36
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Ezk 39

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

When
Rom 11: 25-26
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

 

These verses sums up my belief,

The one question that many dispensationalists stumble over is: Who are God's New Covenant people? The Bible clearly tells us the answer: the New Covenant people are people of faith from every ethnicity, and Paul calls this NC people the Israel of God.

I will close with Romans 11:12, where Paul says, “Now, if their fall is the riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness.”By Robert Gottselig

Your article: "Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? “The church” replacing “Israel” stripped these verses of all their meaning. The truth is plain to see: God has not “unchosen” His people, and He has not forgotten about His promises to Israel."

Lets stop this ridiculous thinking right now with scripture, the proven remedy for zionic loonie disease:

Isaiah 65:1-15 KJV
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. [2] I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; [3] A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; [4] Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; [5] Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. [6] Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, [7] Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. [8] Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. [9] And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. [10] And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. [11] But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. [12] Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. [13] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: [14] Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. [15] And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

PLEASE.....take a few moments to let this sink in. God is constantly telling us that He is finished with national Israel, and Isaiah 65 is a shining example. 

Who is that " seed of Jacob"? Certainly not the physical seed of the Old Covenant, the ones who rejected the Holy One of Israel!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
