Prophecy is not my main study, but as shown here , i certainly do see Riomans 11 reversing the curse of blindness upon Israel when the fulness of the Gentiles is entered in, so that what is left of the natural branches will come to faith, as there is only one gospel, and Jews must be saved by faith in the risen Lord Jesus.
But those who reign with and under Christ for 1,000 years will rule over someone, and the temple of Ezekiel, which is different from that of Moses will be built (which i see as far too detailed and elaborately described to be merely symbolic of the church), and the Jews will be keep the ceremonial ordinances in a memorial sense.
And Gentiles which survived the Tribulation will be tested in being required to keep the feasts, etc. Thus Christ shall rule with a rod of iron, while gently leading those that are with young.
But i have not the energy now to get into this extensively, but can ping some others who may want to.
The question should not be: Moses or Christ? To a Christian the answer should always be Christ first.
But Moses and all the Prophets were there for one and only purpose: to point to the coming of Christ.
Charley needs some serious study in both the Old and New testaments.
We are quite a way from the fulfillment of “all prophecy.”
His lack of understanding that the Galatians were already genetically the House of Israel puts more hole than bottom in his sack.
Typical replacementarian hogwash.
Replacementarians seem unaware that all of the congregations that were recipients of epistles from Paul were by birth Israelites that had migrated out from Assyrian captivity.
Nothing more here to bother looking at.

All one has to do is read the prophets of God when they spoke of Him returning the Jews (nation of Israel) to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - a promise He has NEVER rescinded. Here are but a few of them:
“Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord. “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord. “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.
“So then, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.” (Jeremiah 23:1-8)
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will plant the kingdoms of Israel and Judah with the offspring of people and of animals. Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the Lord. “In those days people will no longer say, ‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge. “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord Almighty is his name: “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,” declares the Lord, “will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.”
This is what the Lord says: “Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,” declares the Lord.
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt for me from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. The measuring line will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate, will be holy to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.” (Jeremiah 31:27-40)
“‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice. (Ezekial 34:11-16)
The "error" is in imagining that Almighty God reneges on His everlasting promises. He WILL do as he has said he would. Read also Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:1-7. The times prophesied have not happened yet, but they will and very probably soon.
Galatians was not an epistle to Gentilize the church.
Here is your ham sandwich, Jew. Eat it and be a Christian./s
What nonsense ...
To understand the prophets you begin with the text of the prophets ... not with the text of Paul.
