CLAIM:
“Modern Israel isn’t the same Israel of the Bible.”
⸻
FALSE. Here’s why:
1. God’s Covenant with Israel Is Everlasting
“Thus says the Lord… If the heavens above can be measured… then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel.”
— Jeremiah 31:36–37
This is not a temporary or conditional covenant. God ties His faithfulness to the unchangeable order of the universe. Modern Israel is part of the same people, same lineage, same promise.
⸻
2. God Said He Would Regather Them After Dispersion
“I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone… and bring them to their own land.”
— Ezekiel 37:21
Modern Israel is the literal fulfillment of this prophecy — the Jews have been brought back from over 100 nations.
⸻
3. The Same Land, Same People, Same Name
“You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers… and you shall be My people, and I will be your God.”
— Ezekiel 36:28
God promised to restore physical Israel to physical land. This is not symbolic. It’s happening.
⸻
4. Paul Still Called Them “Israel” in the Church Age
“I ask, then, has God rejected His people? By no means!”
— Romans 11:1
“They are beloved for the sake of their forefathers… the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
— Romans 11:28–29
If Paul — in the New Testament — calls them Israel, then so should we. The name still applies.
⸻
5. Jesus Foretold Their Return
“They will fall by the edge of the sword… and Jerusalem will be trampled… until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
— Luke 21:24
Jerusalem was taken. Now it’s back in Jewish hands — exactly as Jesus said it would be.
⸻
Modern Israel is not a new invention. It is the miraculous continuation of the biblical people of Israel — brought back to their land, preserved through history, and central to God’s prophetic plan.
