How Should Christians Treat the Jewish People?

With love, honor, and prophetic urgency—

Not with arrogance

Not with silence

Not with replacement theology ⸻

God’s Word Is Unmistakable

“Salvation is from the Jews.” — John 4:22

“I will bless those who bless you…” — Genesis 12:3

“Do not be arrogant toward the branches.” — Romans 11:18

“Through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.” — Romans 11:11

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” — Romans 11:29

“They are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.” — Romans 11:28

Israel is still chosen

Still beloved

Still central to God’s unfolding plan ⸻

A Wounded History Many Jews don’t reject Jesus because of the Gospel… They reject Him because of how Christians have treated them:

Church-sponsored inquisitions

Crusades in the name of Christ

Martin Luther’s antisemitic writings

Holocaust-era silence

Modern Replacement Theology Instead of provoking jealousy (Romans 11:14), many believers have provoked generational grief. ⸻

What Christians Must Do

Genesis to Revelation commands us to…

Bless them – Genesis 12:3

Comfort them – Isaiah 40:1

Pray for them – Psalm 122:6

Support Jewish ministries – Romans 15:27

Provoke them to jealousy – Romans 11:11

Honor their covenants – Romans 9:4

Reject Replacement Theology – Romans 11:25–28

Recognize their future role – Zechariah 8:23

Anticipate their salvation – Romans 11:26 ⸻ Biblical Balance Some quote Galatians 3:28 and say there’s no Jew or Gentile in Christ. That’s true regarding salvation—not prophetic identity.

“…the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.” — Romans 9:4 All of these still belong to Israel.

The Church has not replaced Israel.

We are grafted in—to Israel’s olive tree, not the other way around. ⸻

Prophetic Reality Israel is not just part of prophecy— Israel is the epicenter of prophecy.

Ezekiel 36–37 – Regathering to the land

Zechariah 12:10 – They will mourn for the One they pierced

Romans 11:26 – All Israel will be saved

Revelation 7 & 14 – 144,000 sealed from the tribes

Isaiah 2:2–3 / Micah 4:1–2 – Nations flow to Jerusalem

Zechariah 14:4 – Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives

Every prophetic line leads to Jerusalem. ⸻

The Key to Christ’s Return Jesus Himself said He will not return until Israel welcomes Him.

Matthew 23:37–39 “O Jerusalem… You will not see Me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Psalm 118:26 – A Messianic greeting

Zechariah 12:10 – They will look on Him whom they pierced

Romans 11:15 – Their acceptance will mean life from the dead Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai! Jesus will return when the Jewish remnant calls on Him by name. ⸻ “God doesn’t have grandchildren. Every Jew must come to Christ personally—but they deserve to see Him clearly, not through the fog of Church antisemitism.” — Adrian Rogers ⸻
