This is the second-last program for our series on Replacement Theology, the faulty belief that God has forsaken the Jewish people, and replaced them with the Gentile church. We've been learning over the past few days that God hasn't forsaken them, in fact, He's been keeping all His promises to them. In our program today, we're going to recap the promises He's made and kept to them.

We're getting closer to the close of this series of Replacement Theology on Foundations. We've been learning about amazing, fulfilled promises of God to His people, demonstrating that He hasn't forsaken them. In today's program, we'll look at His promise regarding the Holy City of Jerusalem.

Today on Foundations we'll learn about another fulfilled promise of God to His people, especially the restoration of their ancient holy language. Hebrew was only used for ceremonial purposes, beyond that it was a forgotten and dormant language. But God promised its restoration because God always keeps His promises to His people. He's never forsaken or replaced them, as many in Christendom believe.

So over the past several weeks, we've learned a lot about Replacement Theology. We've learned about very bad treatment against Jews, about how Gentiles are grafted in, not replacing the Jews, and tonight on Foundations we'll begin learning about some remarkable promises God made to His Jewish people about them being reborn as a sovereign nation.

On Foundations today, we're going to look at the requirements of Gentile believers who are grafted in to the Jewish people of God. It's important to understand, especially because many Christians embrace Replacement Theology. When Christians begin to understand that God has a glorious future for the Jews, they can become a bit confused about their own identity in the process.

There are a number of verses that people use to argue in favour of Replacement Theology, that God has replaced the Jewish people with the Gentile church, and has rejected the Jewish people forever. We're going to look at Scripture today that disproves that and in fact, promises a wonderful future for them.

On Foundations we're in the middle of a series about Replacement Theology, and in particular about how Gentiles are grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel.

Replacement Theology has been a very dangerous and hateful doctrine that has devasted Jewish people throughout church history. We've learned how bad over the past week and a half, and we're now learning about the grafting in of the Gentile church to the Jewish people of God, and in particular in today's program, we'll learn what Paul was referring to when he talked about Gentiles being part of the Commonwealth of Israel.

We’ve turned our attention to the teaching of Paul about how the Gentile church is grafted into the people of God. Confusion came in very, very early during the apostolic era because of the number of Gentiles coming to faith. It was a learning curve for both Jews and Gentiles over what was expected of them.

We’ve spent the last 8 episodes of Foundations on the uncomfortable topic of Replacement Theology. That is the belief that the Christian Gentile church has entirely replaced the Jewish people. We’re continuing the series, but changing our focus slightly to the Biblical teaching that Gentile believers haven’t replaced the Jewish people, rather they’ve been grafted in instead.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
