What Is Replacement
Theology? THIS GREAT
SATANIC HERESY HAS POISONED 100s OF MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS AND TODAY IS REACHING THE POINT OF DESTROYING NATIONS SUCH AS THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE FOUNDATION OF GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL
COVENANTS MADE WITH ISRAEL STARTS IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS. AND, BELOVED, GOD KEEPS HIS WORD! Genesis 121Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and
I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families
of the earth be blessed.
All
nations and peoples that remember that special Covenant relationship that Israel has with the Creator, can expect to
be blessed by the God of Israel. On the other hand, those nations
and people that disregard God's covenant promise to Israel, will find themselves in disfavor with the
God of Israel.
Replacement Theology, OR better put the heresy of Satan planted in the still young
church after the Apostles died was introduced after Gentile leadership took over. IT COMES FROM THE PIT'S OF HELL
AND SEEKS TO DESTROY A CHRISTIANS WALK IN FAITH BY CAUSING THEM TO LIVE IN A SIN UNACCOUNTED FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES
TAUGHT TO THEM BY THOSE IN AUTHORITY OVER THEM! IT'S SPIRITUAL EFFECT IS TO KILL OFF THE COVENANT NATION OF GOD
AND MAKE GOD A LIAR EVEN IN THE FACE OF COUNTLESS SCRIPTURES THAT PROVE GOD'S UNFAILING PROMISES TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL
WILL BE KEPT IN THE FUTURE TIME AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS COMPLETED BY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. What are its
premises?
Israel (the Jewish people and the land) has been replaced by the Christian Church in
the purposes of God, or, more precisely, the Church is the historic continuation of Israel to the exclusion of the former.
The Jewish people are now no longer a "chosen people." Apart from repentance, the new birth, and
incorporation into the Church, the Jewish people have no future, no hope, and no calling in the plan of God. Since
Pentecost of Acts 2, the term "Israel," as found in the Bible, now refers to the Church.
The promises,
covenants and blessings ascribed to Israel in the Bible have been taken away from the Jews and given to the Church, which
has superseded them. However, the Jews are subject to the curses found in the Bible, as a result of their rejection of Christ.
Are Jews, Jews, and is Israel, Israel in the New Testament? Do They Still Have a Covenant with
God? LET US START WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHING THROUGH ST. PAUL IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS:
Romans 11:26-27 (King James Version)
26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and
shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob 27For
this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. IMAGINE YOURSELF SUBSTITUTING :"THE CHURCH" FOR "ISRAEL" IN THIS PASSAGE I JUST
READ! "AND SO ALL "THE
CHURCH" SHALL BE SAVED... BELOVED, ONE MUST BE UNDER SATANIC DELUSION TO TEACH
SUCH BOLD FACED LIES! WE ARE SAVED THE MOMENT WE BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST! AND HOW ABOUT: ...AND
SHALL TURN AWAY ALL UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB? WHOLE WORLDLY RELIGIONS WITH FOLLOWERS
THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES SINCE THE CHURCH WAS FORMED HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THE LIE OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY. TODAY THEIR VOICES
RISE HIGHER THEN EVER IN THE CHORUS OF SATANIC WORLD HATRED THAT SEEKS TO PUSH ISRAEL INTO ALMOST TOTAL DESTRUCTION BY "LEGAL"
MEANS DICTATED BY THE UNITED STATES AND IT'S ALLIES AS WELL AS THE UNITED NATIONS, AND RELIGIOUS ORGANS SUCH AS THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH, 7 TH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO NAME A FEW. JESUS
CHRIST WARNED US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US AND THE WORD OF TRUTH GIVEN TO ST.PAUL ABOUT SUCH POISONOUS TEACHERS AND THEIR HERETICAL
TEACHINGS INSPIRED FROM THE PIT OF HELL BT SATAN HIMSELF. Powerful, deceptive, having great guile, most subtle, a tempter, a
liar, a murderer, most beautiful, having the power of death and destruction under God, and can appear as an angel of
light. 2 Cor. 11:13-14
13 For
such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
UNEDUCATED CHRISTIANS are
caught "in the snare of the devil" PERPETRATED ON THEM BY FALSE TEACHERS. 26 and that they may come to their senses and
escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. THE DEVIL HATES
ISRAEL FROM WHOM OUR LORD COMES! BY TEACHING THESE LIES TO OTHERS AND VIEWING THE VERY SCRIPTURES
THEMSELVES WITHOUT ISRAEL IN HER PROPER PLACE IN GOD'S PROGRAM! IS IT ANY WONDER THAT BIBLE PROPHESY HAS BECOME SUCH A
BLOODY BATTLEFIELD TOTALLY LACKING THE LOVE OF CHRIST AS WELL AS THE SENSE OF THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD WHICH GREATLY DIVIDES
THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST AND LEADS TO TERRIBLE DISSENSIONS AND SPIRITUAL HARM.
BELIEVERS SITTING IN THE PEWS
OF FALSE CHURCHES lie in the "power of the evil one. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies
under the sway of the wicked one.
ESPECIALLY THE APOSTATE CHURCHES WHO TEACH REPLACEMENT
THEOLOGY IN THEIR FAVOR AND SEEK TO KILL THE JEW AND ISRAEL IN GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL COVENANTS WITH ISRAEL.
WHO are in bondage to Satan.. 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
IF WE DISREGARD ISRAEL WE DENY GOD'S WORD AND
ARE AS DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN IN SIN THAT HAS BROKEN OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD OUR FATHER LONG AGO! WHEN FIRST WE FELL FOR
THESE LIES. BELOVEDS,
MANY WHO ARE AFFILIATED WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS, RIGHT HERE, VIEWING THIS VIDEO, HAVE BEEN POISONED BY REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY!
AND BELIEVE AS THE DEVIL HAS TAUGHT. ISRAEL THE NATION IS NOT A CHOSEN NATION NO MORE IN GOD'S PLANS AND JUST
ANOTHER NATION, EVEN ILLEGITIMATE HAVING NO BASIS ANYMORE IN THE WORLD OR AT BEST JUST A ROBBER NATION NOT UNLIKE OTHER
IMPERIALIST NATIONS TAKING OVER LANDS BELONGING TO OTHERS! BUT THE BIBLE IS CLEAR AND GOD KEEPS HIS WORD.
SPEAKING TO US IN PROPHETIC TRUTHS OUR LORD HAS TOLD
US THE FOLLOWING ABOUT HIS PLANS FOR THE NATION ISRAEL AND IT'S FAITHFUL AT THE CLOSE OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION THAT IS
ON OUR HORIZON WHICH MANY OF US CLEARLY SEE:
"In that day I will restore David's fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins,
and build it as it used to be" (Amos 9:11),
"I will plant Israel in their own land, never
again to be uprooted from the land I have given them" (Amos 9:15).
Jeremiah 31:31-37 31 "The time is coming, declares
the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
32 It will not
be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke
my covenant, though I was a husband to them declares the LORD.
33 This is the covenant I will make with the house
of Israel after that time, declares the LORD. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their
God, and they will be my people.
34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know
the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive
their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to
shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the LORD Almighty
is his name:
36 Only if these decrees vanish from my sight, declares the LORD, will the descendants of Israel ever
cease to be a nation before me.
37 This is what the LORD says: Only if the heavens above can be measured and the
foundations of the earth below be searched will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done, declares
the LORD." THE NATION ISRAEL AND THE JEW'S IN
THIS TIME THAT LIES AHEAD BARE THESE BIBLE TRUTHS DIFFERENT FROM WE, THE CHURCH, COMPOSED OF BOTH JEW AND GENTILE.
The Jews are Israelites, not Gentiles (Rom. 9:4).
To Israel still belong the inheritance, the glory, the covenants,
the giving of the law, the worship and the promises (Rom. 9:4).
The gifts and calling of God for Israel are irrevocable
(Rom. 11:29).
There are 77 references to Israel in the NT and none of them refer to the Church. Try replacing the
words, "the Church," where Israel is mentioned and the passage is rendered unreadable and silly, e.g., Rom. 10:1,
"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved." If you put "the
Church" where Israel is mentioned, then it is redundant. The Church is the body of saved believers, so how could Paul's
prayer be for the Church to be saved?
Psalm 105 has a seven-fold affirmation of God's promises of Canaan to
Abraham. This is an everlasting promise, as was Genesis 12:1-3.
Jeremiah 31:35-37 speaks of the everlasting nature
of God's promises to and for Israel, the Jewish people, which is as sure as the sun that shines by day and the moon and
stars that glow in the night.
The end-time prophecies, which speak of the return of the House of Jacob to their
land (Israel) and its restoration, have overwhelmingly been fulfilled in Israel and the Jewish people in the past 120 years.
(See, Isa. 11:11-12; Ezek. 37:1-14; Ezek. 36; Ezek. 35:1, Isa. 43:5,6; Jer. 16:14-16; Isa. 60:9-11; Isa. 49:22-23, etc.).
The Gospel of Jesus Christ came "to the Jews
first, then the Greek" (Rom. 2:9,10; Matt:10:5-7;15:24). There is a distinction in roles between the two. Galatians
3:28 says: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you
are all one in Christ Jesus." This is speaking of everyone's standing before God as equals, because we are all sinners
saved by God's grace and the atoning work on the Cross.
Nevertheless, our roles here on earth
are definitely distinct; e.g., men and women, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, etc. all have distinct roles to play.
Likewise, Jews and Gentiles have distinct roles to play.
What is the Role of the Church?
"On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it" (Matt. 16:18). The Church
is built on the testimony and understanding of Peter, who is Jewish. Ephesians 2:11-14 indicates that Israel and the Jews
(we) were chosen, but Gentiles (you) were also included.
The Church is related to Israel and partakers of the covenants,
promises, and hopes, but we have not been called to usurp them. Our relationship is as "grafted in" (Rom. 11:17);
"brought near" (Eph 2:13); "Abraham's offspring" (by faith) (Rom. 4:16); "heirs" to Abraham's
promise as adopted sons (Gal. 3:29) and "partakers" (Rom 15:27).
To the world, the Church is called to
preach the Gospel to all nations and make disciples (Matt. 28:19-20); to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind
and strength; and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mk. 12:30-31).
To the Jewish people, we are called to show
God's love "for the sake of the Patriarchs" (Rom. 11:28), for without them we would not have had God's Word
or our Saviour who was a Jew from Israel. We are to show God's mercy (Rom. 11:31). We are to give our material gifts to
help them (Rom. 15:27). We are to pray for them and for Israel (Ps. 122:6). We are to be watchman on the walls to protect
them (Isa. 62:6,7). We are to help with the aliyah (immigration) to Israel and the building up of Zion (Isa. 60:9-11; Jer.
16:14-16; Isa. 49:22-23).
According to Romans 11, we are two distinct groups, both grafted into the same tree,
which are the covenants and promises given to Israel; grounded in the same root, the Messiah; drinking of the same sap, God's
Holy Spirit. We do not hold up the tree, but the tree us, and we are forbidden from boasting against or being arrogant to
God's covenant people the Jews (Rom. 11:17-18). ST.PAUL makes it abundantly clear what God's final purpose will be
in regard to His chosen Nation: ISRAEL: Romans 11:26-27 (King James Version)26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
(IMAGINE REPLACING THE
WORD ISRAEL WITH "THE CHURCH"!!! AS ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW INSANE SUCH A TEACHING IS WHEN VIEWING GOD'S WORD IN
IT'S PROPER CONTEXT!) AND LASTLY LETS TAKE THE NEW COVENANT WE ARE UNDER AND SEE HOW GOD WILL APPLY IT TO ISRAEL
DURING AND AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION. THE NEW COVENANT FOR ISRAEL IN THE FUTURE AND THE CHURCH NOW Today we fall under the New Covenant (Through Christ), being made a part of it as Christians, but God is NOT through with
the nation of Israel yet! And these better promises are going to be fulfilled for them in the future millennium . Jeremiah 30: 18 "Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents,
and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the
manner thereof." Jeremiah 31: 8 "Behold, I will bring them from the north
country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her
that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. 9 They shall come with
weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein
they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. 10 Hear the word
of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep
him, as a shepherd doth his flock. 11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the
hand of him that was stronger than he." THE NEW COVENANT Jer.31: 31 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and
with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband
unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their
God, and they shall be my people." Heb.8:
8 "For finding fault with them, he
saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And
they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from
the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In
that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
And as Paul makes
abundantly clear: Romans 11:
26" And so
all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness
from Jacob: 27 For
this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For
as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed,
that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all."
WHEN THE POISON OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY TAKES ROOT
IN THE CHURCH. The Church becomes arrogant and self-centered.
It boasts against the Jews and Israel.
It devalues the role of Israel or has no role for Israel at all.
These attitudes result in antisemitism in word and deed. THOSE WHO ARE SAVED AND CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN THIS MIND
SET ARE IN A STATE OF CONTINUOUS ERROR AT BEST AND SIN AT WORST
Without a place for Israel and the Jewish people
today, you cannot explain the Bible prophecies, especially the very specific ones being fulfilled in Israel today.
Many New Testament passages do not make sense when the Jewish people are replaced by the Church.
The view that
Israel and the Church are different is clearly taught in the New Testament. In this view, the Church is completely different
and distinct from Israel, and the two are never to be confused or used interchangeably. We are taught from Scripture that
the Church is an entirely new creation, that came into being on the Day of Pentecost, and will continue until it is translated
to heaven at the Rapture (Ephesians 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). The Church has no relationship to the curses and blessings
for Israel. The covenants, promises, and warnings are valid only for Israel. Israel has been temporarily set aside in God's
program during these past 2,000 years of dispersion.
After the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), God will restore
Israel as the primary focus of His plan. The first event at this time is the Great Tribulation (Revelation chapters 6-19).
The world will be judged for rejecting Christ, while Israel is prepared through the trials of the Great Tribulation for the
Second Coming of the Messiah. Then when Christ does return to the earth, at the end of the Tribulation, Israel will be ready
to receive Him.
The remnant of Israel which was called out by God and believes, both those who are martyred and
those alive at Tribulations end as well as the resurrected Old testament saints will, with the Lord, establish His kingdom
on this earth with Jerusalem as its capital.
In Christ, reigning as King and Prince of the kings of the earth,
Israel will be the leading nation, and representatives from all nations will come to Jerusalem to honor and worship the King;
Jesus Christ. The Church will return with Christ and will reign with Him throughout the world and beyond for a literal thousand
years (Revelation 20:1-5). Both the Old Testament and the New Testament support a Pre millennial / Dispensational
understanding of God's plan for Israel. Even so, the strongest support for Premillennialism is found in the clear teaching
of Revelation 20:1-7, where it says, six times, that Christ's kingdom will last 1,000 years. While God may be focusing
His attention primarily on the church in this dispensation of grace, God has not forgotten Israel, and will one day restore
Israel to His intended role for the nation He has chosen (Romans chapter 11).
What Happens
When the Church Relates to Israel?
The Church takes its proper role in God's redemptive plan for the
world, appreciating God's ongoing covenant relationship and love for Israel and the Jewish people.
We can see
the consistency of God's redemptive plan from Genesis to Revelation as an ongoing complementary process, not as disconnected
snapshots.
We show love and honor for God's covenant people, not contempt.
We value the Old and
New Testaments as equally inspired and significant for the Church today.
Bible prophecy makes sense for today and
offers opportunities for involvement in God's plan for Israel.
We become better disciples
of Jesus Christ as we are able to appreciate the Hebraic/Judaic roots that fill in the definitions, concepts, words and
events in the New Testament that are otherwise obscured. Why? Many were not explained by the Jewish writers of the New Testament,
because they did not feel the need to fill in all the details that were already explained in the Old Testament. Had the Church
understood this very clear message from the beginning, then the sad legacy of antisemitic hatred from the Church may have
been avoided.
The error of Replacement Theology is like a
cancer in the Church that has not only caused it to violate God's Word concerning the Jewish people and Israel, but it
made us into instruments of hate, not love in God's Name. Yet, it is not too late to change our ways and rightly relate
to the Jewish people and Israel today, to demonstrate God's exhortation to us to bless His Covenant People, whom He still
loves. Not only do we need to learn the truth and be blessed by God, but we need to teach others so as to counteract the historical
error that has been fostered in the Church for nearly 2,000 years (Gen.12:1-3).
Thank God,
He is a God of mercy, redemption and second chances.
This review was largely researched and written by Clarence H. Wagner, Jr whose great gift
of teaching I humbly stand before in awe.
