Is Replacement Theology Biblical?
Replacement Theology is the deceptive belief that Israel, is replaced by the church.
Nowhere in scripture is this satanic deception found.
In the Bible we see Satan's repeated attempt to destroy the people of Israel. An attempt at genocide.
The first such case, is in Egypt when Pharaoh orders the execution of all male children of the Israelite slaves.
That tale, ushers in the Birth of Moses , who at the direct instructions of GOD, leads Israel, out of Egypt.
First to Sinai, in the mountains of Midian.
Then, through a period of chastisement, in the Arabian desert until His death on Mt Horeb.
Joshua then leads Israel across the Jordan river into the promised land.
The second attempt at Genocide by Satan occurs in Persia. In the Book of Esther, Haman seeks to get the King of Persia to execute all of the Jews. This fails and Esther becomes Queen of Persia.
Another attempt
Occurred in Europe, during World War Two.
I Believe, that this failed attempt resulted in
The restoration of Israel. The return of Jews, to the promised land as promised in Ezekiel 37. The valley of dry bones prophetic dream.
In each case, the satanic plan failed.
In each case, an exiled Israel, was returned to the promised land as a result of Satan's failure.
With each advent of Satan's failure another attempt to replace Israel is made.
I contend this attempt is structured specifically to usher in persecution of Both the Jews as well as Gentile Believers.
During these last days.
This deception is based on the lie of replacement theology.
The heresy that GOD, has rejected the Jews, that GOD, chose to break HIS covenant with Abraham. That GOD chose to break his promises to David, to the Prophets.
If this were true, that would mean, GOD, was, and is a liar.
GOD does not lie. GOD can not lie.
GOD is righteous, Holy, Sacred, Faithful even unto death.
To suggest that GOD lied is heresy, it is to speak a lie straight from the breath of Satan.
Repeatedly in the new Testament , Yeshua the Messiah, stated,
The Gospel First to the Jews, then to the Gentiles.
YESHUA stated repeatedly, that Gentile believers, would, because of their faith be grafted onto the vine.
Grafted onto, the true vine.
Gentile believers would be invited into the wedding supper as heirs , by faith to the covenant with Abraham.
Nowhere.
Does Yeshua say that the Gentile believers replace Israel.
GOD does not and Cannot Lie.
Did GOD replace Israel with the Church?
What does GOD say?
Romans 11:1-2
(1) “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.”
(2) “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,”
***†††***
Explicitly states, GOD has not cast off the descendants of Abraham.
Regarding the apostasy, the falling away of Israel, it is part of GODS plan.
That through Israel failing, ie, rejecting the Messiah,
That Salvation could/would be granted, open to the Gentiles.
See Romans 11:8-11
(8)“(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
(9)“And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them:”
(10) “Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.”
(11) “I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.”
Why did GOD plan it this way?
Verse 11 is clear, so that salvation is granted to the Gentiles and to provoke Israel to jealousy.
There is much more to the Story.
Consider Romans 11:12
(12)“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?”
Think about that.
The fall of Israel, becomes the riches, the treasure, the Blessings of the world.
And, the diminishment of Israel becomes riches, wealth, blessings, of the Gentiles
Then,
How greater will be the full blessings promised Israel be?
Romans 11:15-
(15)“For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?”
For if the casting away of Them( Israel)
Becomes the reconciliation of the World with GOD,
What will the receiving of Israel be but life comes from the dead.
So,
To recap.
Israel is cast away for rejecting the Messiah, Jesus ( Yeshua)
This brings Yeshua's message, and blessing, HIS Grace, to the entire world.
Then, in Verse 15 Paul asks,
What will the receiving of Israel be , but,
Life, from the dead.
Israel will be restored, returned as GOD Promised Abraham, David, and The Prophets.
Ezekiel, speaks of this restoration in Ezekiel chapter 36, and in chapter 37, in the vision of the valley of dry bones.
Where GOD restores Israel to Life.
( Keep in mind. The New testament says Nothing, not already said in the Old Testament. The New Testament is a restating of the old testament, especially the Prophets.)
(16)“For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.”
Consider that.
From the True Vine:
If the First fruit is holy ( YESHUA)
The stock, or stump, of the Vine is holy,
So are the branches.
See John chapter 15, the entire chapter.
YESHUA is the first fruits and Yeshua is the True vine.
Romans 11:17-22,
(17)“And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;”
This refers to Gentiles , " the wild olive tree" being grafted into ISRAEL. To partake of the blessings promised Israel.
(18)Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.”
Believing Gentiles, are instructed not to boast against the branches,
Do Not Boast Against Israel.
(19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.”
(20) “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:”
(21) “For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.”
(22) “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.”
GOD directly states,
Gentile Believers are Grafted onto ,
Adopted into, the covenant with Abraham.
The Gentile Believers Do Not Replace ISRAEL, But Become partakers with.
This concludes Part One.
Part Two, will continue the Biblical source and doctrine. I also will discuss the origin of the replacement heresy. That same common origin also gave birth to Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh Day Adventist, and Christian Science. To name the most prominent heretical doctrines.
Until then Consider these references.
John chapter 1, John Chapter 15,
Romans Chapters 9-11.
It is, in my belief , dangerous to take verses out of context.
The Bible was not written with the chapter and verse breaks we see now.
Those divisions are the work of translation scholars, added for the convenience and whim of the translators.
Each Book in the Bible was written as a singular narrative and should be read and studied as such.
May GOD Bless and keep you safely in the palm of His hand.
