Much of what the Replacement Theologians said had elements of truth. The destruction of the Temple WAS a sign of God’s discipline against Israel’s rebellion and rejection of Yeshua. Their exile was also prophesied.
Praise to God It is impossible to fully understand and appreciate God’s wisdom, love, grace and mercy. The response and responsibility of salvation is praise
God’s plan of redemption is based on a symbiotic relationship between Jews and Gentiles
We must never confuse the way God works with the nation with how He works with individuals because what God promises He does!
When Paul says, “all Israel” he is not saying that every single Jewish person will accept Yeshua as his Lord and Savior.
Paul goes against nature. First, the wild never gets grafted onto the good and never does that which was cut off get re-grafted!
How can a Jew be cut off from being a Jew? Impossible. But Jews can be cut off from God’s covenant blessings through rebellion and unbelief.
Often people focus on only one side of God’s character; either His goodness and mercy or His holiness and justice. But we cannot divide God that way.
Paul confronts and corrects an attitude that is still held by many believers – that God is finished with the Jews and the Gentiles have become “the chosen.”
Paul’s illustration of grafted in branches is contrary to nature and agricultural practices.
