>>> No Reformed, amillennial or postmillennial Christian that I know of believes that they’re replacing the Jews in God’s eschatology.
So I may NOT be a dispensationalist.
The notion that God breaks covenant is the biggest obstacle I see with replacement theology.
I think i’ll side with the person who said earlier that they didn’t like to call themselves anything.
God made a promise to Abraham concerning his people, and to the nation Israel.
God keeps His promises.
I guess if we look at the operative word, and it’s root, we get “dispense”... as in “do away with”.
If that is the case, and God has somehow “dispensed” with Israel, then I find the teaching in grave error.
No doubt Israel has suffered great loss because of their rejection of the Messiah... but that does not place anyone else in line for something God explicitly and exclusively promised to His “Chosen” people.
With the suspension of the 70 weeks prophesied in Daniel 9, the worlkd awaits the beginning of the seventieth week, since the sixty-ninth week ended with John the Baptist, according to Jesus. The promises to Israel will be finished during the seventieth week. The Church Age is a pause not a replacement.
