If it seems that I have been harping on the one subject matter of Christianity and Judaism lately there may be a reason for that consistency.For some time it has bothered me that there are those Zionists who can lay claim to Jews being the chosen people of God and Israel Gods chosen land when there does not seem to be any sane and logical reasoning behind such puffed up pride.
The facts of the matter are that there is hardly anyone at all who resides in Israel who can lay claim to be a Born Again Christian. There is quite clear mention in the book of the Revelation that out of the millions and millions of Jews currently alive here on the plant there is only going to be a paltry 144,000 saved.
Nevertheless, if there is anyone who dares to contradict the arrogance of the Zionists those persons very quickly earn the label of being anti-Semitic.
A lot of the conceit the Zionists attach to themselves could be attributed to Old Testament teachings where God quite heavily favored Israel and the Jews and in doing sent his only begotten son to earth as a Jew. Effectively the Old Testament tells us that the father of the Jews and the Arabs, Abraham, formed a covenant between God and the Jews.
However, what the Jews do not seem to realize is that once they rejected Christ and hung him of the cross that covenant with God was well and truly broken and ended when Israel became a nation in 1948.
Despite what many Christians believe and in turn are trying to mislead others into believing, Judaism is NOT "Christianity without Jesus" and Christianity is not a "completion" of Judaism. The Jewish religion is complete without Christianity and a divine saviour From the Christian theological point of view, Christians have now replaced the Jews as those who will be saved. All references to "restoration of Israel" in the Old testament, in the sense of practical return of the Jews to their homeland and reestablishment of a Jewish commonwealth, and all references to "Israel" and "House of Jacob" and "my people" in prophesy, would now be taken to refer to Christianity. Thus, the prophecy of End of Days of Isaiah would have to refer to Christians, rather than Jews.
The Christian Church has replaced the Jewish nation of Israel that God created in the Old Testament. Proof of that is the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians where he called Christians the “Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16) and Abraham’s seed “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.” (Galatians 3:28-29) Since the Jews as a nation, rejected Jesus as their Messiah the covenants God made with them in the Old Testament is no longer in effect.
Therefore, the Jews of today have no God-given right to the land of Israel.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical and thoroughly evil.
