Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom,
A dear friend, on our NDR Board, was speaking with a pastor the other day, a well-known, experienced pastor with a reasonably large church. She asked him his position on replacement theology. He responded: " What's that?"
This is an example of the mindset of way too many pastors in the ecclesia, nation after nation. This erroneous theory has to be exposed and discarded. Centuries ago "Christians" made Jews wrong and began terrifying and torturing them, claiming in a spirit of anti-semitism and false pride that "Christians" have replaced Jews to carry forward God's plan for humanity. Replacement theology is sometimes also called fulfillment theology or supersessionism. Basically it has claimed that the Christian Church has superseded the Jews and the nation of Israel, taking over their role as God's covenanted people. This belief holds that the Christian Church has succeeded ancient Israel as God's true Israel.
Nothing could be further from the Truth. Here's the Truth from Ephesians 2: 11-3:6:
"Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Christ Our Cornerstone
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
The Mystery Revealed
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel..."
As we approach Pentecost this Sunday, and as many are fasting and praying, focusing on Israel and Jerusalem these days, join me in confessing this sin of my forefathers. "Abba Father, in Yeshua's Name above all names, please forgive us "Christians" for failing to follow Your Word and for taking instead an anti-semitic, false doctrine of separation of Jews and Gentiles, falsely claiming that Jews had been superseded. Heal the division, Lord. Heal our Body, Lord. Open minds and hearts to see You above all else, and to see Yeshua as the Alpha and the Omega, the Author and Finisher of our faith. In Yeshua's Holy Name, Amen.
