WE GOT THE WORD OF GOD JESUS FROM THE JEWS PRAISE THE LORD AMEN
A very interesting and urgent message to those who do not understand the importance of Israel. God bless your ministry.🙌🙏🇮🇱
Back in the 80s when I was an atheist I had a lot of questions as to why the Middle East is the way it is.
Then in 1993 I left atheism after coming to an understanding that the flood in Genesis is good history. That opened the door to grasping the prophecies on Jesus and Israel and where we are today.
A healthy basic grasp gives much more clarity of His time frame and His promises towards the Church and Israel. He is a God of promise.
Thank You for this very important teaching. Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and he who curses Israel will be cursed. God bless Your chosen ones of Israel🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This lecture is excellent. Exposing the tactics of this illegitimate replacement theological view is critical to understanding the text of Scripture.
Thank you for the clarity presented here . Excellent rendering of the clear message that God does not go back on His promise to the Jewish nation and is separate entity entirely from the church .
AMEN HALELUYAH, GLORY TOO GOD, ALELUYAH 🙏 ALELUYAH, thanks you my lord, ALELUYAH AMEN God bless you all, shlom everyone
Really good and clear teaching. Thank you
I did not realize how many evangelicals believed in this replacement theology! The NAR movement in America seems to be along these lines. So many of my friends have been deceived and now believe Israel is the bad guy! Tim Keller is a popular preacher saying this. I praise the Lord for being born again in the Calvary Chapel movement! Chuck Smith has been faithful to the whole word of God! Thank you for your foundation! May the truth be spread!
In Charles Chacour book 'Blood Brothers', Charles' father told him on the return of the Jewish people and the recreation of Israel, 'they are coming home'.
Chacour was the first Israeli Arab to graduate from Hebrew University.
Thank You for this important message!!!!
Thank you for this message, Thomas... Regarding the concept of Replacement Theology there are really two distinctly separate issues:
1) Did the new testament ekklesia replace the old testament ekklesia?
2) Is the nation of Israel elect and restored to God at the return of the Son of man as King?
The brick wall that most dispensationalists run into, leading to unnecessary confusion and division, is the denial that the new testament ekklesia replaced the old testament ekklesia [Note: ekklesia, the Greek New Testament word for "church," or more precisely, "assembly," "gathering," or "congregation," is used 60 times in 56 verses of the old testament (LXX), starting with Deuteronomy 4:10; ekklesia is found 114 times in 111 verses of the Greek New Testament].
Our Lord Jesus states this truth in the gospel of Matthew...
Matthew 21:43-44 "Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him."
Let me share some commentary with you (Note: I don't agree with everything the commentators state)...
"shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof-that is, the great evangelical community of the faithful, which, after the extrusion of the Jewish nation, would consist chiefly of Gentiles, until “all Israel should be saved” (Ro 11:25, 26). This vastly important statement is given by Matthew only." >>> Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Vol. 2, p. 53).
"Our Lord tells them plainly, that God was removing his church from them to the Gentiles, which he calleth a people that should bring forth the fruits thereof." >>> Poole, Matthew (1853). Annotations upon the Holy Bible (Vol. 3, p. 102). Robert Carter and Brothers.
"The words foreshadow the appearance of the Christian church." >>> Morris, L. (1992). The Gospel according to Matthew (p. 544). W.B. Eerdmans; Inter-Varsity Press.
Here is a brief clip from Michael Heiser: czcams.com/users/clipUgkxUS6ezb-eex5a9ReaMrRr7O4yMtvfmiVu
I want to address the language brother Heiser uses >>> "I think the church has replaced Israel."
I believe it would have been helpful if he would have stated, "I believe Christians replaced the nation of Israel as the church of God in the new testament," or, "I believe the new testament church replaced the old testament church in God's economy," or something to that effect.
You could also say the new testament ekklesia is a continuation of the ekklesia of God.
The eschatological revelation is multi-layered; we have to qualify Biblical truth with additional Biblical truths in order to gain understanding and see the big picture. It can be very, very difficult to articulate, and that is to the glory of God (Proverbs 25:2).
Where covenantalists are dangerously errant is in regard to Israel; some even state that the church is Israel (the truth is, I believe, the saints, all the saints in salvation history, and not the church, are the Israel of God).
Scripture bears out a dual fulfillment of the promises to Abraham through the Seed.
The fulfillment to the natural descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is a fulfillment to a remnant of regenerated Jews/Israelites (Zechariah 12:10-14) who cry out, "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai."
Matthew 23:39 "For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
These natural descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be saved when the Deliverer comes from Zion...
Romans 11:26-27 "And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, 'The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob;' 27 'and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.'"
This group is prophesied in Zechariah 13...
Zechariah 13:8-9 "And in all the land, declares the LORD, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but a third will be left in it. 9 This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ”
This group is the fulfillment of the prophecy in Ezekiel 36...
Ezekiel 36:24-29 "I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you."
This remnant of Jews/Isaelites will be regenerated and enter the Messianic kingdom as mortal men and women in the nation of Israel.
Jesus is the only way!
Blessings
👑Genesis 12:3 ❤ Matthew 25 31-46👑
✝️ Christians speak of scriptures as being this or that as a salvation 🛐 issue, here 👑 Jesus made this a salvation 🛐 issue Himself in Matthew 25 31-46 🇮🇱
😊No teasing out scriptures or extrapolations needed, it's as plain as the Sun shine 😊
👑 Jesus made this a salvation 🛐 issue in Matthew 25 31-46 🇮🇱 and before He returns I'd recommend ministering the same love ❤God bless you on your journey ❤
Why was Abram called by God?
Who is Israel or previously referred to as Jews?
How is the identity of said peoples determined? What factors qualify, ie genetics, geography, faith practices, circumcision etc?
Was the call of Abram to point to the Christ or was God’s plan of redemption dependent upon Abram and God from the beginning intended to terminate all the other Nations inhabiting the earth?
How does a Bible reading and believing person begin to reconcile all the scattering of Abram’s descendants, intermarriage with other nations, various conquests, etc? Who in this day is Israel? Only God knows(literally).
God is a covenant keeping God.
What is the name of the theology that makes the body of Jesus Christ insufficient habitation for those who would protest as not being special enough in GODS plan of redemption?
Didn’t the disciples and apostles who identified themselves as Jews have an appreciation for the Grace of God to be found in Christ Jesus and the Kingdom promises? Blessed for being in the remnant.
One in Christ Jesus… The 2 shall become 1
The evil of man, past present and future is no excuse to replace the Christ.
Replacement Theology is a lie as all theologies that deny God’s ultimate plan of redemption for all the Nations and the individuals who would believe on Him through Christ Jesus.
This conversation promotes hate just as hate has been promoted against a people who may or may not be a descendant of Abram biologically.
Interesting….some of it was rather like a straw-man….many believers…have little time for much of what Tom Wright has to say…certainly since his new perceptive on Paul….And although I would place myself in the Replacement camp..( although much prefer the term continuation theology….eg there has only ever been one people….those who live by faith)…….I certainly don’t have any of the very aggressive opinions that he spoke about…and I certainly would be happy for many Jews to come to salvation
In the end the remnant of Jews...and Egyptians shall be saved.
