The “church” did NOT replace the nation of Israel. As God promised the Israelites are being brought back to their promised land. The armed nations around Israel is just now starting.
we agree! the Church DID NOT REPLACE Israel! The Church IS Israel. Just a name change.
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is helpful in understanding this point. 2:12 states the Gentiles were once separated from the COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL, but v19 says they are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.
the chapter is clear, the believing Gentiles are now citizens of the commonwealth of ISRAEL.
remember, the true Jew is one inwardly, not of circumcision, right??
