Israel and the Church (Replacement Theology)

Sermon by Pastor Greg Miller


[video=youtube;Yp-lOC2qSYg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp-lOC2qSYg[/video]

"Israel Wary of Vatican Synod"http://www.chick.com/bc/2011/synod.asp

"Dispensational Response To Knox Seminary Open Letter To Evangelicals":
http://www.pre-trib.org/data/pdf/Stal...

The Bible gives no indication that God has replaced Israel with the Church, YET, most Christian denominations, schools, pastors, scholars, etc., continue to foist that very LIE upon their students and listeners.

In this study, we will see that Israel clearly has NOT been replaced by any denomination or the "universal body of Christ" and that Israel still has an important part to play in these end time events about to take place on planet earth.

God's will shall be done!

Replacement Theology 101:

A Satanic Heresy that seeks to replace Israel, "the sons of Jacob," with the so-called "Church."

So-called because they usually double their heresy by claiming that their own denomination is the "the true church" and "the true Israel."


Also note: Ammillennialism is just another form of replacement theology.

The post trib. Rapture theory also is just another form of replacement theology. Because it wrongly teaches that the Church goes through the time of Jacob's (Israel's) trouble.
[HR][/HR]

The Scripture clearly teaches that it is Israel (Jacob) that goes through the time of Jacob's trouble. The time of Jacob's trouble is not for the Church (Body of Christ). It is for Jacob (Israel).

And you have a reputation of 6? Mind boggling. Is Israel part of the church or not?

Israel and the Church are two distinct and separate entities.


Gjolll, study your Bible and see what it teaches concerning both Israel and the Church.

But, there is a connection. For everyone who believes in Jesus is a spiritual heir of Abraham(Galatians 3).

Whats heresy is calling the elect in Matthew 24 Israel only. When you let scripture interpret scripture you know this is not so.

[video=youtube;udNjJyK_M20]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udNjJyK_M20[/video]

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

God has one people - those who believe in Him, the true Israel.

It is written:
Rom 2:28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.
Rom 2:29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.

Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,
Rom 9:7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named."
Rom 9:8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

Chosen,

The gentiles were GRAFTED into Israel.

Romans 11

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

[HR][/HR]

The Scripture clearly teaches that it is Israel (Jacob) that goes through the time of Jacob's trouble. The time of Jacob's trouble is not for the Church (Body of Christ). It is for Jacob (Israel).
New Covenant Israel (God's Church) did not replace Old Covenant Israel (the church in the wilderness)
But it was raised up on the foundation of the faithful of Old Covenant Israel,
As it was made obsolete by 70ad.
Old Covenant Israel does not exist any more upon the face of this earth.

Chosen you need to explain explicitly what you are calling the time of Jacob's trouble
many blessings

Rom 9:8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

In the Church Age, we (the Church) are God's spiritual people. There is no Jew or Gentile in the Body of Christ:



Galatians 3:26-29

King James Version (KJV)


26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.



And so we are not Israel. We are the Church (the Body of Christ):



1 Corinthians 12:12-27

King James Version (KJV)


12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.


The gates are Jewish...

Those who are united with Christ are the true Israel of God. Only by heart circumcision through faith does one become Abraham's offspring and heir of the promise.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.


Yes Sarah, the Gentiles have been grafted in. So, in a way, we are spiritual descendants of Abraham, but that does not make us descendants of Jacob. We partake in the spiritual blessings which come through Israel.


In the Body of Christ, both saved Jews and saved Gentiles are spiritual brethren. And both are Abraham's seed, since they are both in Christ.


But again Sarah, just because we Gentiles have been grafted in, and are Abraham's seed by faith in Jesus Christ. That still does not make us the New Israel Sarah. Only those who are from Jacob's seed are physical and National Israel.
