Romans 11: 25-32.........
"Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all."
Isaiah 60:10-15
"Foreigners shall build up your walls,and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you,
but in my favor I have had mercy on you.11 Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut,that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. 12 For the nation and kingdomthat will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste.13 The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious.14 The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you,
and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age."
Many people belive and teach that the Church has replaced the Natuion of Israel and that God is finished with Israel and the promises made to Israel are now valid upon the church. That is called "Replacement Theology". But when one actually reads Romans chapters 9-11, we can see that the crowning outcome from those chapters in God's Word is "THE FUTURE SALVATION OF ISRAEL."
The end point is that God promised to save Israel. The same mercy and grace that has come to and effected the Gentiles who were once disobedient toward God will overtake the disobedient nation of Israel. This revelation disclosed the mystery of God's purpose for Israel.
Israel's heartedness has not been total and now we learn that it will it be permanent. Israel's rejection of God did not force God to reject them. For out of Israel has come a believing remnant and this remnant is the first fruits of the salvation of Israel as a whole. Not every single person in Israel will be saved. I think we all recognize that.The message is of course to the individual and it is that they will have to turn from sins and to the Lord Jesus. That is the remnant and ALL of them will be saved. So then, it is the saved remnant that is in view as the nation of Israel.
The restoration of Israel has always been part of God's plan. This final restoration is not just for a faithful remnant but for all Israel. It is a plan of mystery and mercy.
So then, what was God's promise?
Isaiah 59:20-21
"And a Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord. “And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore".
Jeremiah 31:33
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
I submitt to you that these promises of God must be fulfilled. The new covenant will not be complete until it fully embraces the people of the old covenant. Therefore, Replacement Theology is an erroneouse and false teaching taking place today.
