Well then let me introduce you to a few: D. James Kennedy and R.C. Sproul, who have declared that Israel has no special title to land in the Middle East, having been replaced by the Church. But of course, maybe they are not "genuine" replacement theologians, merely "pretentious" replacement theologians, but still replacement theologians nonetheless.

Just for curiosity's sake, how do we know that replacement theology is wrong? The throne of Israel's earthly king sits empty, as does the Chair of Moses, and the Jewish priestly sacrifices have ceased. The Jews were scattered from their homeland, and only had it restored (artificially) in 1948. The lack of a continuous visible royal line troubles me most of all; certainly Christians see this as being fulfilled in Christ, Who will be King for all eternity (thus fulfilling the promise), but how do the Jews explain it away?

If it is as I understand it, I think that I believe that replacement theology is an appropriate view, but if someone could pass along more resources, I would appreciate it.
