I think Paul’s teaching in Romans regarding the vine and branches to which “you” were grafted in go a long way explaining Israel’s place in God’s plan.
Besides, standing with Israel and the Jewish people is the REAL “right side of history”...not this pro-sodomy position with which Barack Obama and the network “news” readers are enamored.
I agree.
I thought this particular study was interesting in that the author is focused on Matthew. It's good to remember when Supersessionists attempt to use:
Matt. 21:43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
to say that the church is the nation that just 2 verses later the object of Jesus point is mentioned.
Matt. 21:45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.
Also, if we look at The Revelation of Jesus Christ it makes sense why 12,000 witnesses are taken from the 12 tribes of Israel. They will share the Gospel of the Kingdom with Israel and create the fruit.
