Does God still have a plan for Israel?

ANTISEMITISM: THE LONG WAR AGAINST GOD’S CHOSEN
“Satan hates what God loves—and God loves Israel.”
THE SATANIC ORIGIN
Antisemitism is not just a social prejudice—it is spiritual warfare.
Behind every pogrom, policy, or theological poison is the ancient enemy of God’s people.
“Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring…” – Revelation 12:17
Why? Because God chose Israel.
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession…” – Deuteronomy 7:6
“Salvation is from the Jews.” – John 4:22
Satan hates that through Israel came the Scriptures, the Messiah, and the promises (Romans 9:4–5).
So he has tried to destroy, displace, or deceive them—through Pharaoh, Haman, Hitler… and even within the Church.

CHURCH HISTORY: A LEGACY OF DECEPTION
Antisemitism took a theological disguise in Supersessionism—the lie that “the Church replaced Israel.”
Even great early theologians erred grievously:
John Chrysostom (4th century): “The synagogue is worse than a brothel… the temple of demons.”
Martin Luther (1543): “Set fire to their synagogues…”
This heresy seeded centuries of Jewish persecution—from the Crusades to the Inquisition, to the Holocaust.
But it also contradicts Scripture:
“Has God rejected His people? By no means!” – Romans 11:1
“They are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.” – Romans 11:28
God’s covenant with Israel was never revoked. The Church is grafted in, not a replacement (Romans 11:17–21).

ISRAEL IN PROPHECY
God’s plan for Israel is not finished—it’s unfolding.
“He who scattered Israel will gather him.” – Jeremiah 31:10
“I will bring you into the land of Israel.” – Ezekiel 37:21
“All Israel will be saved.” – Romans 11:26
In the coming Tribulation, God will raise up 144,000 Jewish witnesses (Revelation 7), send two prophetic witnesses in Jerusalem (Revelation 11), and cause Israel to recognize her Messiah (Zechariah 12:10).
Then Jesus will return—not to Rome, Geneva, or Washington, but to Jerusalem.
“His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives…” – Zechariah 14:4
⸻ THE CALL TO THE CHURCH TODAY Reject the old lies. Rebuke replacement theology. Stand with what God stands with.
“I will bless those who bless you… and him who dishonors you I will curse.” – Genesis 12:3
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” – Psalm 122:6
To oppose Israel is to oppose God’s declared will.
To love Israel is to love God’s redemptive plan for the world.
