Prophecy Brief: Israel in the Land in Unbelief

[@nanadeborah8717]

Thank you for explaining that. People still see replacement theology as the truth and it is hard to change their minds.

[@SpotterVideo]

Who is really teaching “Replacement Theology” ? (Did God fulfill His promises to the Jewish people at Calvary? Matthew 26:28, John 19:30) The advocates of modern Dispensational Theology often accuse others of promoting “Replacement Theology”, or some may even say “Antisemitism”. What does the Bible say about their accusations? 1. Who is replacing Christ as the seed of Abraham through which all the families of the Earth would be blessed in Genesis 12:3, with Abraham’s modern descendants? (See Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:8, 3:16.) 2. Who is replacing the one people of God in John 10:16, with two peoples of God ? 3. Who is replacing the one seed (Christ) in Galatians 3:16, with the many seeds? 4. Who is replacing the children of the promise in Romans 9:8, with the children of the flesh? 5. Who is replacing the word “remnant” in Romans 9:27, with the word “nation”? 6. Who is replacing the faithful “remnant” of Israelites in Romans 11:1-5, with the Baal worshipers? 7. Who is replacing the word "so" in Romans 11:26, with the word "then"? 8. Who is attempting to replace the Church made up of all races of people, with one made up only of Gentiles? Why did Peter address the crowd as “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2:36, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted Christ on the Day of Pentecost? 9. Based on Hebrews 12:18-24, the New Covenant cannot be separated from the Messiah’s death. Is the covenant in Daniel 9:27 connected to the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26. Is the covenant with the “many” in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the “many” in Matthew 26:28? If it is, some have replaced the New Covenant in Daniel 9:27 with a future covenant made by an antichrist not found in Daniel chapter 9. (See the 1599 Geneva Bible used by the Pilgrims.) 10. Those promoting the Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology often accuse others of teaching “Replacement Theology”, but are they the masters of it? Are they promoting a form of Dual Covenant Theology based on race? (See “genealogies” in Titus 3:9) Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? 11. Watch the KZbin video “Genesis of Dispensational Theology” to see the origin of this man-made doctrine, which is less than 200 years old. It was brought to the United States about the time of the Civil War by John Nelson Darby. The doctrine was later incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, and then spread through much of the modern Church. Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas Texas was created in part to promote John Darby’s Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology. Lewis Sperry Chafer, the first president of Dallas Theological, had the following to say about the difference between Israel and the Church: “The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity.” Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism (Dallas, Seminary Press, 1936), p. 107. Chafer states that, ‘Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne,’ that is, on earth and distinct from the church who will be in heaven.” Lewis Sperry Chafer. Systematic Theology. 1975. Vol. IV. pp. 315-323. John Walvoord, another prominent voice of Dallas Theological stated… "...it is an article of normative dispensational belief that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants from the Nile to the Euphrates will be literally instituted and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centred on a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. In such a scheme the Church on earth is relegated to the status of a parenthesis.” John F. Walvoord, The Rapture Question.1979, p. 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there two peoples of God in John 10:16? (See also 1 John 2:22-23, 2 John 1:7-11.) What is the land promise to the Old Testament Saints in Hebrews 11:15-16? (See what Joshua said about the Old Covenant land promise in Josh. 21:43.) Based on 2 Peter 3:10-13, is this earth “eternal”? Will it be replaced by a new earth? Based on Acts 2:36, and Romans 9:6-8, and Romans 11:1-5, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3, can faithful Israel and the Church be separated into two different groups? Who is the New Covenant promised to in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is it fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24? Will modern Orthodox Jews ever be saved outside of the New Covenant Church, if the New Covenant is “everlasting” in Hebrews 13:20? (See also 2 Thess. 1:7-10) If the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant “obsolete” in Hebrews 8:6-13, why would God go back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period? Read the recent book "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism", by Daniel G. Hummel.

Thank you! This was very helpful and informative.

Amen

[@ricoyochanan]

In addition to the verses from the NT, there are references to the condition of Israel's future return in the OT. The return from the nations has two phases and an order of operations. First the return, then the cleansing. Eze 36:24....and will bring you into your own land; 25 THEN will I sprinkle clean water upon you. This is occuring presently as the Messianic community grows in Israel. From almost none in 1948 to over 30,000 today and will continue until Jesus returns and could be in the millions, Zec 13:8,9 Also, there will still be people in exile at the end, and they will call upon Jesus and they will be gathered back to the land also, Deu 4:27-31, Deu 30:1-6

New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9. If the New Covenant is "everlasting" in Hebrews 13:20 and the Old Covenant is "obsolete" in Hebrews 8:13, why would any Christian believe God is going back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period? Has modern "Zionism" been a "Blessing" to Christians living in the Middle East? Were the promises in the Balfour Declaration kept? Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Zechariah 3 .Also Ezekiel 37. You can’t read thru the Bible and not realize Gods relationship with Israel, love and covenants with them and also His punishment for their disobedience but in the end their restoration. Jew and gentile alike have salvation offered on an individual basis but only Israel is spoken of as Gods chosen nation and the Jews are the people of that nation. Paul also makes it clear in Romans that the Lord is not finished with them.The world is turning against Israel and they are in the brightest spotlight which can only be explained by supernatural as they are only the size of the state of New Jersey yet the entire world is focused on them. Sorry for the long post but there are many false teachings now against them and I feel the need to speak up not just for them but for the truth of Gods word. Thanks pastor for your teachings.

[@papajoefortner1817]

Pastor Brian I have what may be a bit of a sensitive question. Gen 3:6. I have been studying this text and have found some commentary contrary to the original teaching on this CH.&VS. Did Eve and then Adam have intercourse with Satan? God calls himself a tree and us as well. Also if they were the only 2 in the garden why cover their nakedness? Perhaps it's what they did with Satan that made them ashamed. Lastly I always wondered about the Lord telling them they shouldn't touch it. Really a tree? However touching a beautiful creature may be too much to resist if you get my meaning. Would love to hear your thoughts. God bless you and your church. Thank you, sincerely Papa Joe.

[@nanadeborah8717]

In referring to the sex with Satan,that was only found in rabbinical writings,not in writings from the church. Had that been the case, the devil would have received the same punishment as the watchers who had descended on Mt. Hermon. The devil was not imprisoned,thus there was no sexual act. I can't remember what the pastor's name is right now,he's from Florida. He wrote a book on it and made the rounds. I just remembered, it is Gallup,not sure if I spelled it correctly. According to him,Cain was the devil's child. However, I haven't read any scholars who find it credible. Hope this helps.

[@Ieffmacloud]

What to expect when that day comes... If you take into consideration the population % 144k isn't that many. The tribe of Daniel isn't mentioned... That has to mean they get raptured or they are still lost... I'm more inclined to think they get raptured. The Lord hasn't forgot anyone (Small or great).

[@aaddebruijn3355]

The meek will inherit the land. The Messiah is heir of all the creation, all the world. Not all Israelites are of Israël. Only the remnant, only the faithfull, only the believing full number, 7000. Jew and gentile in Christ together inherit the promises, all promises. There is no distinction between Jew and gentile.

[@johnmann8659]

@aaddebruijn3355 All of Israel will be saved at the end. Romans 11:25-29 Hosea 3:5 Deuteronomy 4:30-31 Israel will rule the nations. Daniel 2:44 Isaiah 60:10-22 Isaiah 2:2-4 Psalm 2:7-10-> Revelation 19:15-16

[@Erwin70000]

Not necessarily condone everything they do! What shall we condemn then?

[@CalvaryChapelFranklin]

@@Erwin70000 the argument is not whether or not we can call them out for doing things wrong, the question is whether or not we should support Israel in the way I attempted to explain; as God has made promises to them and has a purpose for them in the last days - including their salvation nationally upon putting their trust in their Messiah.

[@Erwin70000]

@@CalvaryChapelFranklin Jesus did not hesitate to call them for their sins and rejection. MAT.23:31-35 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. MAT.23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! MAT.27:22,24,25 Pilate saith unto them [the Jewish religious leaders], What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. JOH.8:39-44 They answered and said unto Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to Him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but he sent Me. Why do ye not understand My speech? Even because ye cannot hear My Word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Should we also uphold His words and see things through Jesus's words? Or turn a blind eye to what ever wrong is done both by Gentiles or ethnic Jews?

[@bugsocsollie1694]

If God is for them, who will stand against them? Israel is still in the days that God is "regarding them not" from Hebrews 8:9. But AFTER THESE DAYS, God will call out to them again as we see in Revelation with the 144,000. Today, there is no distinction made between Jew and Gentile, they must be saved the same way we are saved (Acts 15:11), By Grace Through Faith. But when this Dispensation is over there will again be made that distinction. The 144,000 are all distinctively Jews.

[@JamieEsgate-el1qe]

Are you sure at which point he wasn't talking to the jewish hiarachy, when he said he would knock the temple down and rebuild it in 3 days, hosea 6,2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. He was meaning, i believe the new jerusalem and then if you go to peter 2, verse 3-6 this mentions, our time and gods time, remember the 3rd day would be after the 2000 year anywhere, it would be exactly 2000 years if he did, sacrafice on 33 ad to be 2033, i am not saying anything will happen on this day, but that brings me back to habakkuk 1,5 Habakkuk 1:5 says, “Look at the nations and watch- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told”. I hope this helps. It would be difficult to know the hour with 1 hour been 41.6 years i believe forgive me if i am wrong.
