God is not finished with Israel

 

How could He be?

Can God lie?

 

Because let’s be honest: most (not all) of Christendom does not merely say Israel failed. They effectively say God failed.

 

When God made promises to Abraham — the Abrahamic Covenant — Scripture says, “because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself” (Hebrews 6:13).

 

So what are we supposed to believe?

 

That God swore to Himself, knowing He could not keep His own promise?

That God made covenant promises with full knowledge that one day He would have to quietly abandon them?

That what He really meant was that it would be fulfilled by and through the Church?

 

When God said, even in Israel’s disobedience and unbelief:

 

“My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
My covenant I will not break,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.”

 

Was God just being poetic?

Was He playing theological word games?

Was He making promises He knew would later need to be “reinterpreted” by men with seminary degrees and their creeds?

 

When God said:

 

“Once I have sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne as the sun before Me;
It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.”

 

Did God not mean it?

Did “forever” secretly mean “until the Church replaces Israel”?

Did “David’s throne” really mean “a spiritualized concept somewhere in the heavens”?

Did “Jerusalem” mean “not Jerusalem”?

Did “Israel” mean “not Israel”?

 

And did God, in His infinite foreknowledge, know that He would one day be unfaithful to the hundreds of promises He made to the nation of Israel — but thankfully, men would later come along to help Him out?

 

Men who would correct the wording.

Alter the meaning.

Spiritualize the promises.

And explain what God apparently meant but did not clearly say.

 

Namely:

 

God is finished with Israel. There is no future for national Israel. There will be no restored kingdom.

 

There will be no King reigning from Jerusalem.

There will be no fulfillment of the covenant promises as written.

 

Because the Church is now Israel, and all those promises have been absorbed, reassigned, redefined, and conveniently fulfilled somewhere else. And denominations get to pick and choose what promises they will fulfill!

 

No.

God is not finished with Israel.

If God can break His covenant promises to Israel, then no promise is safe.

But He cannot lie.

 

He cannot fail.

He cannot break His covenant.

He cannot alter the word that has gone out of His lips.

The issue is not whether Israel has been faithful. The issue is whether God is faithful.

 

And Scripture’s answer is clear:

 

God keeps His promises.
