…The NT [New Testament] church has not “replaced” the Jews. Paul says that God “grafted” the Gentiles into the people of God. Grafting is not replacement, it is addition.
Reformed covenant theology does not juxtapose Israel and the church.. It recognizes that the church was temporarily administered through a typological, national people, but the church has existed since Adam, Noah, and Abraham; and it existed under Moses and David; and it exists under Christ.

Christians are considered to be adopted sons and daughters in to the line of Abraham. This is possible because Abraham’s blessing did not come from his geneology but rather that he believed God. Just so Christians believe God through Christ by faith.
That’s my understanding of St Paul without citing chapter and verse. Anyone wants to correct me—feel free.
Genesis 49:1 1And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
Only the ignorant and followers of the devil would ignore what was to happen to the 12 tribes in the ‘last days’... Yet here we are some ignoramus stuck on stupid calling the 12 tribes Jews...
Carry on ... The Heavenly Father intends to sort His ‘sottish’ children out on His time.
Being chosen by God is no easy thing.
In Malachi, God declares his love for his Chosen. The response is in essence, please choose someone else.
I will let the reader read Malachi on their own.
Ping.
There is the covenant of Abraham that is unconditional therefore the Jews will receive eretz Israel and Jesus will sit on David’s throne phsically. This Messiah ben David.
Cannt spin that.

I’m still trying to figure out where the jews who Jesus was talking to in John 8 figure into this.
Are those Jews inheritors of God’s covenant with Abraham?
If so, why did Jesus tell them “Where I am going, you cannot come.”?
Why did he tell them they are NOT children of Abraham due to their unbeleif?
Why did he tell them that their disbelief made them children of the devil?
Bkmk
It is the theft of that which God promised to Israel and a replacement, so it is.
Your questions are why I will donate to Messianic Jews and merely pray Israel commit to their Messiah (our Messiah).
I’m not blindly sending anything to a country that refuses Jesus and still openly at war with believers of Jesus.
I will pray for them.
All I know for sure is that every nation/government/ruler that has set his face against Israel eventually ceases to exist, yet Israel has been restored multiple times and is still here.
I don’t plan to test God on the issue.
With all due respect: there is nothing in this article about geopolitics or defense budgets. 🙄
It’s a separate issue ^
That being said, our country is NOT in great shape right now. Morally, spiritually, nor physically. Shootings abound, gender dysphoria, families broken, and life expectancy is decreasing. Opioid epidemic fallout. PTSD among thousands military vets; many who end up on the streets homeless. And our churches are weaker than ever. But according to Your logic, pouring more taxpayer military spending in the Middle East is supposed to “bless” us…You show me the fruit.
With all due respect, perhaps all those problems stem from turning our face away from God and the only thing keeping us out of the dustbin of history is that we have not yet turned away from Israel or made ourselves her enemy.
Jesus never said that the law was summed up in how we geopoliticize Israel. Jesus said to Love God and our neighbor.
Maybe we need to let God handle Israel and focus on our own hearts and our own neighbors first.
According to scripture,
The Passover Lamb was killed on the 14th Day of His 1st month.
Just over 30 days later, He fed Israel Manna from heaven.(30)
Just over 30 days after that first manna, He thundered His Covenant Law to Israel from the Mount. (60)
About 40 days later after thundering His Covenant Law to Israel, Moses came down with the 2 tables of the Covenant, broke them because he was angry they couldn’t last 40 days, and about 3,000 were killed.(100)
That ‘Old Covenant’ has the Passover Lamb, and major events at 30,60 and 100 day journey in the wilderness after the death of the Passover Lamb and deliverance from bondage.
Words and themes like Covenant Theology or Replacement Theology has too much ology..
How are individual believers doing on the path to 100 after being delivered from bondage by the blood of the Passover Lamb?
How’s the Church (/s) doing ?
