Israel Is Israel.
The Church Is the Church.
God doesn’t confuse His covenants—neither should we.

When God says “Israel,” He means Israel—not a metaphor, not the Church in disguise.
From Genesis to Revelation, Israel refers to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose as a nation forever (Genesis 17:7–8, Jeremiah 31:35–37).
The Church is a new body—composed of Jews and Gentiles alike—born at Pentecost and distinct in identity, purpose, and destiny (Ephesians 3:6, 1 Corinthians 12:13).

Rome Tried to Erase Israel
After crushing the Bar Kokhba revolt in AD 135, Emperor Hadrian:
•Renamed Judea to Palestina to sever Jewish connection to the land.
•Banned Torah, circumcision, and Hebrew.
•Renamed Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina, with a pagan temple on the Temple Mount.
This wasn’t just political—it was satanic opposition to God’s covenant people.

Where Did Replacement Theology Come From?
After Hadrian’s erasure of Jewish identity, early church leaders like Origen, Justin Martyr, and later Augustine began spiritualizing Old Testament promises.
The Church, now largely Gentile, adopted Roman views—and over time, wrongly concluded that God had rejected Israel permanently.
They replaced exegesis with allegory.
They replaced Israel with the Church.
They replaced God’s eternal promises with man’s pride.

Satan Hates Both Israel and the Church
But his favorite tactic? Dividing them.
“Has God really said?”
(Genesis 3:1)
— Satan’s old lie, repackaged.
If Satan can make the Church believe God broke His covenant with Israel…
He can cast doubt on every other promise God has made.
John 8:44 – “[Satan] is a liar and the father of lies.”
2 Corinthians 11:3 – “The serpent deceived Eve… your minds may be led astray…”
Romans 11:29 – “The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Replacement Theology is not just bad doctrine—it’s spiritual warfare.

God Keeps His Distinctions Clear
Promises to Israel
•Jeremiah 31:36–37 – “Only if the heavens above can be measured… will I cast off Israel…”
•Ezekiel 36:24–28 – “I will bring you into your own land…”
•Zechariah 12:10 – “They will look on Me whom they have pierced…”
Promises to the Church
•Ephesians 3:6 – “Gentiles are fellow heirs… through the gospel.”
•1 Corinthians 12:13 – “In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…”
One Savior. Two identities. No confusion.

Common Error: “The Church Has Replaced Israel”
Romans 11 issues a direct warning:
“Do not be arrogant toward the branches… you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
(Romans 11:18–21)
Arrogance led to error.
The Church did not replace Israel—it was grafted in.

Prophecy in Motion Today
• 1948 – Israel reborn in one day (Isaiah 66:8)
•
Jews regathering from all nations (Ezekiel 37:21)
•
Jerusalem a burdensome stone (Zechariah 12:2–3)
These aren’t political trends. They’re prophetic milestones.

God Is Faithful to Both
His promises to Israel are eternal and irrevocable.
His plan for the Church is glorious
And His Son will reign from Jerusalem, not Rome
“And so all Israel will be saved…” – Romans 11:26
The Church has not replaced Israel—we’ve been graced to witness her restoration.
