Are believers in Messiah; The New Israel

There are people that are teaching that believers in Messiah are the New Israel.

If this is so, then Ezekiel 34, and Jeremiah 23 must be speaking to this new Israel.



Where do these people come up with such nonsense.

Sadly, some “Christians” have actually taught that nonsense.

It’s called ”Supersessionism” but some theologians prefer terms like “replacement theology“ or “fulfillment theology” but they basically refer to the same thing.

Supersessionism is the view the church has replaced Israel!!

One author further explains: “It may take the form of “punitive supersessionism,” i.e., God is punishing Israel for her rejection of Christ. Or it may be in the form of “economic supersessionism,” i.e., it was God’s plan for Israel’s role as the people of God to expire with the coming of Christ and be replaced by the church. The final form of supersessionism is “structural supersessionism,” i.e., the OT Scriptures are largely indecisive in formulation of Christian conviction about God’s work as consummator and redeemer.” End quote

Enough on that for now but the following verse destroys pretty much most of supersessionism

"For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, 'The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will remove ungodliness from Jacob,'” (Rom. 11:25-26).

Hard to understand why some would think God has abandoned Israel when Scripture is very clear he hasn’t.

Dave,

The health and wealth,name and claim, blab and grab, along with the pentecostals, and charismatics, these like to claim the promises of GOD Almighty to Israel for themselves.

Throughout the Old Covenant, we see the relationship GOD Almighty has with Israel, just read Hosea.

Believers are looking for a new heaven and new earth that God is preparing for His people. It's Biblical.



Not sure what your talking about Quiznos. People beliefs are not all Biblical founded.

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Revelation 21:1



Reference the entire chapter 21





Hey Quiznos, I'm sure you missed me! Lol

Ezekiel 34 verses 1 - 10

Are these Scriptures, able to be applied to the self proclaimed shepherds of the flock of GOD Almighty today.

That's reference to the leaders in Israel.



That's in the Old testament Before Jesus.



God called some Pastors. Whether you believe the Bible or not .

Scripture was previously posted .
