He has! Thank you!

I’m getting old, but God still tries to use me from time to time and my heart is in Israel. He is opening doors for a small conference in Tennessee for and 3 day Israel conference. I like the comparison you made with God’s faithfulness in His Promises to Israel with God’s promises to the Church. May I have permission to use you application points in your post?

[Mark @Mark_Wilson_25]

❖ Has the Sun Stopped Rising Yet?

Imagine a father promises his son an inheritance, a home, and a future.

Years later, he gives those promises to someone else and tells his son they were only symbolic all along.

Would we call that faithfulness?

Yet that is essentially what Replacement Theology asks us to believe about God.

The issue is not ultimately Israel.

The issue is whether God means what He says.

❖ What Did God Actually Promise?

God made specific, unconditional covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David.

📖 "To your descendants I have given this land..." (Genesis 15:18)

📖 "I will establish My covenant... for an everlasting covenant." (Genesis 17:7)

📖 "I will give to you and your descendants after you the land... for an everlasting possession." (Genesis 17:8)

📖 "Your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you." (2 Samuel 7:16)

📖 "He remembers His covenant forever... the covenant which He made with Abraham." (Psalm 105:8-11)

📖 "The LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place forever." (Psalm 132:13-14)

These were not vague spiritual promises.

They involved a real people, a real land, a real kingdom, and a real future.

If God intended something else, why did He repeatedly speak in such specific terms?

❖ The Cosmic Test

Perhaps the strongest challenge to Replacement Theology is found in Jeremiah.

📖 "Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day and the fixed order of the moon and stars by night..." (Jeremiah 31:35)

📖 "If this fixed order departs from before Me... then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me forever." (Jeremiah 31:35-36)

Has the sun stopped rising?

Has the moon ceased shining?

Have the stars vanished?

Then neither has God's covenant with Israel.

God did not compare Israel's future to political events.

He compared it to the stability of creation itself.

❖ Paul Anticipated This Debate

Many claim Israel's role ended and the Church inherited her promises.

Yet Paul asks:

📖 "Has God cast away His people? Certainly not!" (Romans 11:1)

📖 "God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew." (Romans 11:2)

Certainly not.

the Greek is:

μὴ γένοιτο (mē genoito)

It is the strongest possible denial available in Koine Greek.

Then Paul explains:

📖 "A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." (Romans 11:25)

The hardening is partial.

The hardening is temporary.

The hardening is not permanent rejection.

Then Paul goes even further:

📖 "The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." (Romans 11:29)

📖 "And so all Israel will be saved." (Romans 11:26)

Why would Paul devote an entire chapter to Israel's future if Israel had no future?

❖ A Remarkable Historical Irony

For centuries critics insisted Israel would never return.

Then 1948 happened.

They said the Jewish people would eventually disappear.

Instead they were regathered from over 100 nations.

They said Hebrew was a dead language.

Today millions speak it.

They said the land would remain barren.

Yet the desert blooms.

The prophets anticipated this long ago:

📖 "I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries." (Ezekiel 36:24)

📖 "He will assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather the dispersed of Judah." (Isaiah 11:12)

📖 "Can a nation be born in a day?" (Isaiah 66:8)

History itself has become a witness to the faithfulness of God.

❖ Two Competing Approaches

Replacement Theology often says:

• Israel = Church

• Land = Heaven

• Jerusalem = Symbolic

• Kingdom = Spiritual

But the plain reading of Scripture says:

• Israel = Israel (Romans 11:1)

• Land = Land (Genesis 15:18)

• Throne = Throne (2 Samuel 7:16)

• Jerusalem = Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4)

• Kingdom = Kingdom (Isaiah 9:7)

The same literal method that correctly understands Bethlehem, Calvary, and the empty tomb should also be applied to God's promises concerning Israel.

❖ The Hermeneutical Question

Consider this:

We interpret literally:

✅ Bethlehem (Micah 5:2)

✅ The virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14)

✅ The Messiah's death (Isaiah 53; Psalm 22)

✅ His resurrection (Psalm 16:10)

✅ His ascension (Acts 1:9)

✅ His promise to return (Acts 1:11)

Why then do many abandon literal interpretation when Scripture speaks of Israel's restoration?

📖 "I will take you from among the nations..." (Ezekiel 36:24)

📖 "I will put My Spirit within you..." (Ezekiel 36:27)

📖 "I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted." (Amos 9:15)

What changed?

The text?

Or our theology?

❖ Israel's Story Is Not Finished

The prophets do not merely predict Jewish survival.

They predict Jewish repentance.

📖 "They will look on Me whom they pierced." (Zechariah 12:10)

📖 "I will pour out on the house of David... the Spirit of grace and supplication." (Zechariah 12:10)

A future remnant will emerge through tremendous refinement.

📖 "I will bring the third part through the fire..." (Zechariah 13:9)

📖 "A Redeemer will come to Zion." (Isaiah 59:20)

And ultimately:

📖 "All Israel will be saved." (Romans 11:26)

📖 "You shall not see Me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'" (Matthew 23:39)

God is not finished with Israel.

The King is coming back to Jerusalem.

📖 "His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives." (Zechariah 14:4)

The covenants will be fulfilled.

The nations will see it.

❖ The Real Question

The real question is not:

"Do you support Israel?"

The real question is:

When God makes an unconditional promise, does He keep it exactly as He said?

Because if God can redefine His promises to Israel, what assurance do any of us have that He will not redefine His promises to us?

The good news is that He cannot.

📖 "God is not a man, that He should lie." (Numbers 23:19)

📖 "The Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent." (1 Samuel 15:29)

📖 "He who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23)

The God who keeps His promises to the Church is the same God who will keep His promises to Israel.

And that is good news for everyone who trusts Him.

[Melissa the Hopeful🏠Homemaker @BiblicalBeauty]

'Pistol Pete' Maravich sharing his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ in 1987 less than one year before his death at the age of 40:

"I want all of you to know this tonight about Peter Maravich. You may never have heard of me. It makes no difference. I'm just one person on this earth saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. I want you to know this, that the change that came into my life was Jesus Christ.

It was not winning. I won all my life. I won every trophy, award, everything you can think of, but every time I won something, I wanted something more. I had to win again. It wasn't money, because money'll buy you everything but happiness. It'll pay your fare at every place but Heaven. Material things—I've driven everything some of you strive for from Rolls Royces to BMWs to Mercedes to Porsches. It wasn't religion because in the name of religion, Jesus Christ was placed upon that cross.

And the purest thing about Christianity is the fact that it's your choice. You can't work. You can't earn. I knew that, and I understood it now.

I want you to know this. The last thing I'd like to say is this, next week I'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'll get that big ring. In fact, it's a bigger ring than I would have got for the championship, but I'll tell you something about all the awards. They all pale to the glory of Christ and what He's done in my life. It's amazing what He has done in my life.

I wouldn't trade my position in Christ for a thousand NBA championships or a thousand Hall of Fame rings or for a hundred billion dollars. There's nothing like the joy of Jesus Christ in your life."

@BarackObama Far and away the worst and most vile presidential comment today on the man who was the titular head of a horrific operation to destroy countless lives, overturn a presidential election, and obliterate any trust whatsoever in federal government.

NOW - Citadel's CEO says decisions made under the Biden administration "were so so poorly thought out in terms of economic consequences, it cost the U.S. economy dearly."

[Defense Intelligence @DI313_]

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react.

Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?

Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.

Interviewer: And then the battle began?

Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.

Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help?

Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?

Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.

Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?

Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.

White Republicans have done more to protect Black babies from abortion than the NAACP, Black Caucus, and BLM combined. At clinics, 70-80% of pro-life activists were white, while 70-80% of aborted babies were Black, but I’m supposed to believe that America is a racist nation. Supporting Planned Parenthood is the most racist thing you can do.

Brianna Lyman on President Trump’s name being added to the Kennedy Center: “I personally don’t care that much, but I do find it funny, Paul, that you care and that the Kennedys care because no one in your party cared in 2020 when you guys were changing names of hospitals, parks, schools, streets, everything in the name of George Floyd.”

“Wikipedia has an entire page called ‘list of name changes due to the George Floyd protests.’ It is the longest Wikipedia page I’ve ever seen. So people who are up in arms about name changes now were mostly silent. The second point I’d make, I think it’s really disingenuous for the Kennedys and for anyone to sit here and pretend like they care so much about the Kennedy Center because I don’t know how many of you guys have been to the Kennedy Center prior to Donald Trump taking office.”

“I was there in 2023. I wasn’t a VIP box. That should be pretty nice. The seats were stained. I literally sat down, I was like, is this wet? Is this fresh? The floors were dirty. This is a place that was decrepit. And all of this on top of people getting exorbitant salaries. So people who were running the Kennedy Center or who claimed to love and care about the Kennedy Center said nothing when it was falling into disrepair, and President Trump comes in, they are renovating, they cut salaries that were needlessly high, they’re bringing people to come and see the arts for once. It was not that lively of an institution under the Biden administration. So don’t pretend like you care about the Kennedy Center now when you were quiet when it was falling into disrepair.”
