No, that's not correct.
Read Romans 11.
God made an unconditional, everlasting covenant with the Jews.
The only way futurism survives is by dragging a foreign definition of Israel into the text.
Go back to Chapter 2
There you will find Paul’s first definition ... a momentous definiton!!
He tells us plainly that “he is not a Jew who is one outwardly,” that circumcision is not about the flesh, and that true covenant identity is a matter of the heart, wrought by the Spirit.
One tree -covenantal unity.
Not two trees.
The root is the Abrahamic promise fulfilled in the Messiah.
"you stand only by your faith." destroys ethnic entitlement.
And you know what else totally destroys your futurist view is that Paul is writing about what was happening in his day!!
This teacher, teaches it correctly and writes it beautifully so I quote..
“Some of the branches were broken off” (Rom. 11:17), he writes—not will be.
“They were broken off for their unbelief” (Rom. 11:20)—not might be someday.
And “God did not spare the natural branches” (Rom. 11:21)—not will eventually refuse to spare them.
These are not prophetic formulas; they are apostolic interpretations of first-century covenantal judgment already in motion.
But the apostle is not finished.
In Romans 9, he sharpens his definition and presses it even further: “Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,” and “It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God.”
If Romans 2 amputates ethnicity from covenant identity, Romans 9 removes any illusion that national or genealogical Israel possesses automatic standing with God.
The true Israel, according to Paul, is the Israel of promise—the elect, the remnant, the called, those whose identity rests not in their lineage but in God’s sovereign mercy.
This is Paul’s theology. This is his framework. This is the interpretive lens he demands we use.
Paul is describing an event that is actively happening as he writes, accelerating toward an unavoidable, catastrophic moment that Jesus Himself predicted.
What was pruned in AD 70 was not Israel but unbelief. The tree survived." (Kendall Larkin, Shepherds Church)
Yeah churches understood this for millennia... until politics infiltrated (thank you Darby and Scofield and others) and convinced people of error.
What is so amazing..... in these times the scales are finally falling away.... and so many Chrisitans who embraced this false Darbist doctrine are realizing it was all one big fake narrative.
This is the real >>> Praise Jesus!!
#Context Matters!!
#Dispensationalism is False
They will not win this war btw, unless they become even more lawless then they already are and use their nuclear arsenal in which case where is that anti-christ, oh maybe his is hiding somewhere, lol
Anyone can see DJT has resorted to good cop / bad cop childish games.
And does hitting 15,000 targets have a lot of significance if yoiu do have a plan?
Why are you assuming they don't have a plan?
