Popular Christian doctrines like “dispensationalism” and “replacement theology” have
misguided Christians for centuries and have cause division between Christians and Jews.
The doctrine of dispensationalism mainly teaches that the body of Israel and the body of the
church are two separate and distinct bodies or people of God. It gives the notion that only
believers who are non-Jewish can be part of the Church. The doctrine originated in Ireland in
the early 1800’s by an Anglo-Irish evangelist named John Darby. This doctrine became widely
accepted in America by Cyrus Scofield, who is well known for the Scofield Reference Bible.
However, the Bible teaches that by the death and resurrection of Jesus (Yeshua), the middle
division (the Law of Moses) was taken away in order to reconcile Jews and non-Jews
(gentiles) into one body. The Bible teaches that Israel and the Church are one and the same
body.
“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called uncircumcision
by what is called the Circumcision (Jews) made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you
were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers ...But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of
Christ. 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 (the Law of Moses), 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 (the Law of Moses).
... For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:11-18).”
Furthermore dispensationalism teaches that the Church (non-Jewish Christian believers) will
be “raptured” while Israel will remain on earth to suffer the great tribulation. This doctrine also
teaches that Jesus (Yeshua) will return to Jerusalem to restore the Jewish people during a
period commonly called the millennium. During this period, He will live inside the Temple of
Jerusalem for 1000 years. This teaching is not biblical but Anti-Christian.
Nevertheless majority of Christians today embrace some form of this doctrine, although most
Christians do not quite what it teaches. Aside from the fact that this doctrine causes
separation between Christian and Jewish people, the greatest danger of “dispensationalism”
is that it will lead those who are not founded in the teachings of Jesus (Yeshua) to receive the
false Messiah (Antichrist) once he appears in Jerusalem claiming that he is the Jewish
Messiah.
No where in the scriptures we are told that Jesus (Yeshua) will live in Jerusalem for 1000
years. On the contrary, Jesus (Yeshua) taught that neither Him nor His followers belonged to
this world. He told us that in His Father’s house which is in heaven, were many mansions
(abodes), and He would go there to prepare a place for us. He then told us that He would
come again to gather us in to be with Him in His Father’s house.
Jesus (Yeshua) warned us concerning the false messiah (Antichrist) appearing at the Temple
of Jerusalem. He told us that if anyone told us that Jesus (Yeshua) was in the desert (Israel or
the Middle East) or in the inner rooms (inside the Temple) not to listen to them or go after
them. Jesus (Yeshua) told us that His appearance (return) would be as visible as lightning that
may be seen from one end of the sky to the other. The Bible teaches us that the words of God
endures for ever, and nothing that was spoken Him will return void. By the statement above,
Jesus (Yeshua) taught us that we are not to receive or follow anyone today, or in a thousand
years who appeared at the Temple of Jerusalem claiming to be the Messiah. This also applies
to the so called “millennium.” As an anti-christian doctrine, dispensationalism not only teaches
that Jesus (Yeshua) will appear at Jerusalem (in the desert), but also teaches that He will live
in the Temple (the inner rooms) for 1000 years.
What makes it more dangerous if the fact that so many Christians believe that the church will
not be on earth at the time of the false messiah (Antichrist). However, the Apostle Paul taught
that the false messiah (Antichrist) would appear at the Temple of Jerusalem prior to Jesus’
(Yeshua’s) return and prior to our gathering with Christ (HaMashiach).
Paul told us that the false messiah (Antichrist) would do great miracles to deceive those who
have rejected the truth of Jesus (Yeshua). Since the false messiah (Antichrist) will appear
prior to Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return, these deceiving miracles will cause many to accept the
impostor, believing him to the Messiah who came to establish an earthly millennial kingdom in
Jerusalem.
As true believers, we are responsible for reading the word of God, and we are not to receive
everything that spoken by any preacher. Revelations 1:7, even says that those who crucified
Jesus (Yeshua) will see His great appearance in the clouds of heaven, showing that the
resurrection of the dead will happen precisely at the time of Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return. Paul
taught that Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return would happen at the last trumpet, referring to the seventh
trumpet, which happens right after the tribulation of the Church.
Paul clarified the mystery of the resurrection of the dead, saying that at the last trumpet, all
…those who are dead and those who are alive, as well as believers and unbelievers … will be
changed from an earthly physical nature into a celestial one, showing that there will be no
need for an earthly physical place such as the current land of Israel. This is precisely the
reason why the Bible says that the heavens (planets and the stars) and earth will be destroyed
with fervent heat, and God will create a new heaven and a new place where the righteous will
dwell.
To add to more confusion, another doctrine called “Replacement Theology,” which is also
known as “fulfillment theology” or “supersessionism,” teaches that God has finished with the
people of the Nation of Israel and has replace Israel with a Church that is formed of Non-
Jewish believers. Unknown to many, the Nazi persecution of Jewish people in Germany was
founded on the principles of supersessionism (Replacement Theology).
Former German Catholic priest, Martin Luther, who is well known as the father of the
Protestant Reformation, taught that Jewish people in Germany should be either confined to
their home, ran out of their homes and their schools, and their synagogues should be burned
to the ground. Rudolph Hitler took Martin Luther’s teachings to heart, as it is evidenced the
following speech; “I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power –
Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church,
without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his
blessing (Adolph Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg.
369).”
To gain the support of the German Church, Hitler appointed Ludwig Mueller (see picture
above) one of the leaders of the German Evangelical Church as bishop of Germany. Ludwig
Mueller, a strong supporter of “Replacement Theology,” who was also a radical anti-Semitic
(anti-Jewish) wanted to cleanse Christianity by getting rid of what he called “the corruption of
the Jews.”
During the Nazi regime, the German Evangelical Church in general supported Hitler. One of
the main reasons why Hitler was successful in killing nearly 6, million Jewish people, was that
majority of the leaders of German Churches supported Ludwig Mueller, and the doctrine of
“supersessionism” (Replacement Theology.) Here is a picture of the "German Christian”
movement in 1933, where nearly 20,000 German Christians gathered in Berlin to demonstrate
their support of Hitler.
Just like with the doctrine of dispensationalism, majority of Christians today, have been taken
by the false teachings of “replacement theology.” These doctrines compound with the
teachings of Talmudic Judaism, have cause great separation for the kingdom of God on Earth
(spiritual Israel with no racial or ethnical divisions). The Talmud is a collection of rabbinical
commentaries that according to Jewish rabbis takes precedence over the Old Testament
(Tanakh). The Talmud is extremely anti-Christian, anti-Christ and extremely racist. Some of
its teachings state that non-Jewish children are animals (Yebamoth 98a). It teaches that
Jesus (Yeshua) is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement (Gittin 57a). It teaches that even the
best of the gentiles should be killed (Soferim 15, Rule 10). These are just a few of the
hundreds of racial and anti-Christian teachings taught and believe by many orthodox and ultra-
orthodox rabbis today.
In defense of both Christians and Jewish people, most church going Christian, do not
understand the doctrines of Dispensationalism or Replacement Theology or how these
doctrines have caused great division between Christians and Jews. The same goes for most
Jewish people regarding the teachings of the Talmud. The secrets of the Talmud concerning
the roots of hatred towards Christ, Christianity, Christians and non-Jews are privileged only to
Rabbis, and those who are becoming one. These secret teachings are not discussed in the
open at any synagogue. As a result of this, most Jewish people do not have a clue that these
teachings exist in the Talmud (Judaism holiest book).
So What Does the Bible Teaches Concerning The Jewish People, The Church and the
Kingdom of God on Earth?
The Bible clearly teaches that Israel and the Church are one body. The Church
was not grafted into Israel, nor did Israel was grafted into the Church. The
Church and Israel are one and the same.
1 Corinthians 12:13 says: “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether
Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”
The word baptism means immersion or to be fully submerged. Baptism represents re-birth …
one having died and being born again into a new and different life. Notice that by the Holy
Spirit, both Jews and Non-Jews we were all fully immersed into one body, where “…there is
no distinction between Jews and Greeks; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to
all who call on him. For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:
12-13).”
In clarifying that God had not abandoned Israel nor has He replaced Israel with gentile
believers, the Apostle Paul wrote to the Roman believers: “… Has God cast away His
people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew (Romans 11:1-2).”
Paul explained that only the elect of Israel (those who searched for God in spirit and truth) had
received Christ (HaMashiach), but majority of the Jewish people did not received Him, simply
because they sought God’s grace faith. For this reason God has blinded them and has given
them a spirit of stupor.
What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the
rest were blinded. Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they
should not see and ears that they should not hear, To this very day (Romans 11:7-8)”
In the same manner that Jewish people today are blinded today by the rabbinical teachings of
the Talmud, many of the Jewish people at the time when Jesus (Yeshua) appeared in
Jerusalem, were blinded by the teachings and the traditions taught by the Pharisees and the
Scribes.
“… The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not
do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders …They love
the best places at feasts, … and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be
called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren (Matthew 23:2-8).”
Notice below that the Pharisees and the scribes shut up the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
(Yeshua) came to restore the kingdom of David (Israel - the kingdom of God on earth), but the
Pharisees and the scribes with their teachings would not allow the people to enter.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go
in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! …“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make
him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves (Matthew 23:13-15).”
In the same manner that the Pharisees and the scribes traveled all of the Empire of Rome
seeking proselytes (converts that would follow them), Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish
Rabbis today are searching for Jewish followers today; luring them away from Jesus (Yeshua)
the true Christ (Ha-Mashiach) and into the paws of the false messiah (Antichrist) who they are
desperately searching for today.
The Prophet Jeremiah foretold that God would establish a new covenant with better promises
than that of the Law of Moses.
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I
will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they
shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of
them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more
(Jeremiah 31:31-34).”
Jesus (Yeshua) put an end to the Law of Moses which consisted mainly with sacrifices and
offerings for sins. He brought everlasting righteousness and salvation to every one who comes
to him. However, salvation for both Jewish and Non-Jewish people is not by performance of
the rituals and traditions of the Law of Moses, but by the grace of God. Paul clarified that
there remains a remnant of Jewish people according to the election of God’s grace who will be
saved by grace and not by the works (rituals) of the Law of Moses.
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant (of the Jewish people) according to
the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works (the rituals of the
Mosaic Law); otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace;
otherwise work is no longer work (Romans 11:5-6).”
Paul told Roman believers that the fall of the Nation of Israel brought salvation to the gentiles,
and in this manner God would provoke the Jewish people to Jealousy. The fall of the Jewish
Nation allowed for the riches of Israel to be shared with the gentiles. This allowed believers
(Jews and non-Jews) throughout the world to be reconciled in one body … one church … one
Israel. Paul further stated that at the time of the acceptance of the Nation of Israel (when the
eyes of all remaining Jewish people are opened to Christ), life will come back from the dead.
This refers to the time of the resurrection of the dead, which will happen at the time of Jesus’
(Yeshua’s) return.
I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall,
to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches
for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! For I
speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if
by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For
if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but
life from the dead (Romans 11:11-15).
Paul uses the analogy that the Jewish Nation (Israel) was like an olive tree that had some of
its branches broken off in order to allow for wild olive branches (gentile believers) to be grafted
into Israel the original olive tree. Some carnal theologians claimed that this refers to the
church being grafted into Israel as if the church is composed of only non-Jewish believers;
however, the text here simply refers to gentiles (non-Jewish) believers being grafted into Israel
that was formerly a Jewish nation.
Paul cautioned gentile believers to stand by faith and not to boast against Israel saying that
God had cut them off. He instructed them to fear, for if God did not spare the natural Jewish
people, He may not spare gentile believers either.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were
grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive
tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not
support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off
that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand
by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He
may not spare you either (Romans 11:17-21).”
The word Church (Greek: Ekklesia) is formed from two Greek words “Ek” meaning “out” and
the word “Kaleo” meaning “called.” The true translation of the word Church (Ekklesia) is
“called out.”
This word (Church) refers to those people who have been called out of the pagan traditions
and rituals of this world to serve the Living God of Israel in spirit and in truth.
The bible teaches that God called Abraham out of Ur of Chaldea, and made a covenant with
Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Contrary to the teachings of many
theologians, the history of the Church (the called out ones) began then. However, the mystery
of the Church was not revealed until Jesus (Yeshua) began to teach the Kingdom of God is at
hand.
“Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from
your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will
bless you, and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing (Genesis 12: 1-2).”
Notice above how God called Abraham out of a pagan nation to make him a great nation. This
is the beginning of the kingdom of God on earth (Israel).
When God called the descendants of Israel out of Egypt He told Moses:
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought
you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant,
then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And
you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which
you shall speak to the children of Israel (Exodus 19:4-6).”
In Exodus 14:4-6 (above) God told the people the descendants of Jacob (Israel) that He would
make them a Kingdom of priest, a holy nation and a special treasure above all other nations, if
they indeed obeyed God’s voice and kept His covenant. Notice here that the kingdom of God
on earth is Israel.
Now; was the earthly kingdom of God intended for natural Israelites alone? Certainly not! God
made a covenant with that he would be the father of many nations.
"As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have
made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make
nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me
and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to
be God to you and your descendants after you (Genesis 17:4-7)."
Notice above, God told Abraham that He would make “nations” of him, he would be the father
of “many nations” (not just the Jewish people). God had revealed through out the scriptures
that people from the gentiles (pagan nations) would one day be part of the Kingdom of Israel.
This would happen by the sacrifice of Christ who put an end of the law to allow non-Jewish
believer to be grafted into Israel.
“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the
gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So
then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham (Galatians 3:8-9).”
The Law of Moses prevented non-Jews from being part of Israel, so in order to the grafting of
Non-Jews into Israel, He first had to take away the Law of Moses in order to establish a new
covenant with all those who believe Him and follow Him though Jesus (Yeshua) the King of
Israel.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is
written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” that the blessing of Abraham might
come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).”
In Jesus (Yeshua), Jews and Non-Jews are one kingdom on earth called Israel, the nation that
was promised to Abraham, who is the father of many nations. Each and every promise given
to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who is Israel, now belongs to you who have been given the privilege
to be called Son of God through Christ (Hamashiach).
"If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise
(Galatians 3:29).”
Jesus (Yeshua) came to earth to receive for Himself a kingdom and to return. He came to
finish what God had started with Abraham in which Abraham would be the father of many
nations and all nations would be blessed by him.
In the scriptures below one should clearly see how through Christ (Messiah), God reconciles
non-Jews and Jews into one body… one church… one Israel. The Law of Moses prevented
non-Jews from being part of the commonwealth of Israel in order to fulfill the covenant that
God made with Abraham; God had to take the Law of Moses out of the way in order to make
us one body. See scriptures below!
“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. 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 (Ephesians 2:11-18).”
Do not call yourselves gentiles if you serve Jesus (Yeshua), the word “gentile” simply means
“pagan.” Those who serve God in spirit and truth are not gentiles, even if the are not of Jewish
ethnic background; this is why Paul above said to the Ephesians “therefore remember that
you, once Gentiles…”
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul continued by saying: “Now, therefore, you are no longer
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the
household of God ( The House of Israel), 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 (Ephesians 2:19-22).”
Notice above that Christians are fellow citizens of Israel. An American citizen is an American
just like a citizen of Israel is an Israelite. Paul is telling non-Jewish believers that they are just
as much Citizenz of Israel and the Jewish believers. He continued by saying that the whole
body of Israel (Jews and Non-Jews) in Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach) is being built into a
House and a dwelling for God. We are the Temple of God on earth if the Spirit of God dwells
in us.
The true Israel are those who have answered the calling of Christ (Messiah) who are not only
the Church (the called out ones), but also the Temple of God on Earth. God does not need or
want another man-made temple in Israel as the scriptures clearly teach that God does not live
inside things made by men but in those who have a poor and contrite spirit and who tremble at
the word of God.
“Thus says the LORD: “ Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the
house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My
hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “ But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word. “He who kills
a bull is as if he slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog’s neck; He
who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood; He who burns incense, as if he
blesses an idol. Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their
abominations, So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when
I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight (Isaiah 66:1-4).”
Notice above that God no longer wants sacrifices, or a Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple of
God is you. Jesus (Yeshua) went to Heaven to prepare a place for us and He is returning to
gather us into the place that He is. The New Jerusalem has no Temple in it for God and the
Lamb (Jesus/Yeshua) are our temple and we are their temple (He will be in us and we will be
in him). Sacrificing an animal today for God is clearly an abomination to God.
Notice in the scriptures below that Abraham and his children were strangers and pilgrims on
earth, and since they desire a better country than Palestine (the Land of Israel on earth); God
has prepared for them a better place in heaven. This place is God’s house in the heavens,
where one day you and I will dwell with Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach) our Lord (Adonay)
and God our Father.
Therefore from one man (Abraham), and him as good as dead, were born as many as
the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were
assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And
truly if they had called to mind that country (Palestine) from which they had come out, they
would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly
country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a
city for them (Hebrews 11:12-16).”
Jesus (Yeshua) warned us that the man of sin (Antichrist) will appear at the Temple of
Jerusalem claiming that he is God and the Messiah. There are great efforts among orthodox
and ultra-orthodox Judaism for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and for identifying
the next high priest or king that will bring back to the Temple sacrifices and offering for sins.
BE WARNED - Our Jewish Messiah and High Priest ascended to heaven where He has
prepared a place for us. He was the sacrifice that took away the sins of Israel, and He does
not need to offer sacrifices for sins again. Only through Him we make it to God our Father.
THE NEXT JEWISH HIGH PRIEST COULD VERY WELL BE THE ANTICHRIST WHO CLAIM
TO BE THE AWAITED JEWISH MESSIAH. HE WILL DECEIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT
BELIEVE THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST (HaMashiach).
misguided Christians for centuries and have cause division between Christians and Jews.
The doctrine of dispensationalism mainly teaches that the body of Israel and the body of the
church are two separate and distinct bodies or people of God. It gives the notion that only
believers who are non-Jewish can be part of the Church. The doctrine originated in Ireland in
the early 1800’s by an Anglo-Irish evangelist named John Darby. This doctrine became widely
accepted in America by Cyrus Scofield, who is well known for the Scofield Reference Bible.
However, the Bible teaches that by the death and resurrection of Jesus (Yeshua), the middle
division (the Law of Moses) was taken away in order to reconcile Jews and non-Jews
(gentiles) into one body. The Bible teaches that Israel and the Church are one and the same
body.
“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called uncircumcision
by what is called the Circumcision (Jews) made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you
were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers ...But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of
Christ. 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 (the Law of Moses), 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 (the Law of Moses).
... For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:11-18).”
Furthermore dispensationalism teaches that the Church (non-Jewish Christian believers) will
be “raptured” while Israel will remain on earth to suffer the great tribulation. This doctrine also
teaches that Jesus (Yeshua) will return to Jerusalem to restore the Jewish people during a
period commonly called the millennium. During this period, He will live inside the Temple of
Jerusalem for 1000 years. This teaching is not biblical but Anti-Christian.
Nevertheless majority of Christians today embrace some form of this doctrine, although most
Christians do not quite what it teaches. Aside from the fact that this doctrine causes
separation between Christian and Jewish people, the greatest danger of “dispensationalism”
is that it will lead those who are not founded in the teachings of Jesus (Yeshua) to receive the
false Messiah (Antichrist) once he appears in Jerusalem claiming that he is the Jewish
Messiah.
No where in the scriptures we are told that Jesus (Yeshua) will live in Jerusalem for 1000
years. On the contrary, Jesus (Yeshua) taught that neither Him nor His followers belonged to
this world. He told us that in His Father’s house which is in heaven, were many mansions
(abodes), and He would go there to prepare a place for us. He then told us that He would
come again to gather us in to be with Him in His Father’s house.
Jesus (Yeshua) warned us concerning the false messiah (Antichrist) appearing at the Temple
of Jerusalem. He told us that if anyone told us that Jesus (Yeshua) was in the desert (Israel or
the Middle East) or in the inner rooms (inside the Temple) not to listen to them or go after
them. Jesus (Yeshua) told us that His appearance (return) would be as visible as lightning that
may be seen from one end of the sky to the other. The Bible teaches us that the words of God
endures for ever, and nothing that was spoken Him will return void. By the statement above,
Jesus (Yeshua) taught us that we are not to receive or follow anyone today, or in a thousand
years who appeared at the Temple of Jerusalem claiming to be the Messiah. This also applies
to the so called “millennium.” As an anti-christian doctrine, dispensationalism not only teaches
that Jesus (Yeshua) will appear at Jerusalem (in the desert), but also teaches that He will live
in the Temple (the inner rooms) for 1000 years.
What makes it more dangerous if the fact that so many Christians believe that the church will
not be on earth at the time of the false messiah (Antichrist). However, the Apostle Paul taught
that the false messiah (Antichrist) would appear at the Temple of Jerusalem prior to Jesus’
(Yeshua’s) return and prior to our gathering with Christ (HaMashiach).
Paul told us that the false messiah (Antichrist) would do great miracles to deceive those who
have rejected the truth of Jesus (Yeshua). Since the false messiah (Antichrist) will appear
prior to Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return, these deceiving miracles will cause many to accept the
impostor, believing him to the Messiah who came to establish an earthly millennial kingdom in
Jerusalem.
As true believers, we are responsible for reading the word of God, and we are not to receive
everything that spoken by any preacher. Revelations 1:7, even says that those who crucified
Jesus (Yeshua) will see His great appearance in the clouds of heaven, showing that the
resurrection of the dead will happen precisely at the time of Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return. Paul
taught that Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) return would happen at the last trumpet, referring to the seventh
trumpet, which happens right after the tribulation of the Church.
Paul clarified the mystery of the resurrection of the dead, saying that at the last trumpet, all
…those who are dead and those who are alive, as well as believers and unbelievers … will be
changed from an earthly physical nature into a celestial one, showing that there will be no
need for an earthly physical place such as the current land of Israel. This is precisely the
reason why the Bible says that the heavens (planets and the stars) and earth will be destroyed
with fervent heat, and God will create a new heaven and a new place where the righteous will
dwell.
To add to more confusion, another doctrine called “Replacement Theology,” which is also
known as “fulfillment theology” or “supersessionism,” teaches that God has finished with the
people of the Nation of Israel and has replace Israel with a Church that is formed of Non-
Jewish believers. Unknown to many, the Nazi persecution of Jewish people in Germany was
founded on the principles of supersessionism (Replacement Theology).
Former German Catholic priest, Martin Luther, who is well known as the father of the
Protestant Reformation, taught that Jewish people in Germany should be either confined to
their home, ran out of their homes and their schools, and their synagogues should be burned
to the ground. Rudolph Hitler took Martin Luther’s teachings to heart, as it is evidenced the
following speech; “I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power –
Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church,
without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his
blessing (Adolph Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg.
369).”
To gain the support of the German Church, Hitler appointed Ludwig Mueller (see picture
above) one of the leaders of the German Evangelical Church as bishop of Germany. Ludwig
Mueller, a strong supporter of “Replacement Theology,” who was also a radical anti-Semitic
(anti-Jewish) wanted to cleanse Christianity by getting rid of what he called “the corruption of
the Jews.”
During the Nazi regime, the German Evangelical Church in general supported Hitler. One of
the main reasons why Hitler was successful in killing nearly 6, million Jewish people, was that
majority of the leaders of German Churches supported Ludwig Mueller, and the doctrine of
“supersessionism” (Replacement Theology.) Here is a picture of the "German Christian”
movement in 1933, where nearly 20,000 German Christians gathered in Berlin to demonstrate
their support of Hitler.
Just like with the doctrine of dispensationalism, majority of Christians today, have been taken
by the false teachings of “replacement theology.” These doctrines compound with the
teachings of Talmudic Judaism, have cause great separation for the kingdom of God on Earth
(spiritual Israel with no racial or ethnical divisions). The Talmud is a collection of rabbinical
commentaries that according to Jewish rabbis takes precedence over the Old Testament
(Tanakh). The Talmud is extremely anti-Christian, anti-Christ and extremely racist. Some of
its teachings state that non-Jewish children are animals (Yebamoth 98a). It teaches that
Jesus (Yeshua) is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement (Gittin 57a). It teaches that even the
best of the gentiles should be killed (Soferim 15, Rule 10). These are just a few of the
hundreds of racial and anti-Christian teachings taught and believe by many orthodox and ultra-
orthodox rabbis today.
In defense of both Christians and Jewish people, most church going Christian, do not
understand the doctrines of Dispensationalism or Replacement Theology or how these
doctrines have caused great division between Christians and Jews. The same goes for most
Jewish people regarding the teachings of the Talmud. The secrets of the Talmud concerning
the roots of hatred towards Christ, Christianity, Christians and non-Jews are privileged only to
Rabbis, and those who are becoming one. These secret teachings are not discussed in the
open at any synagogue. As a result of this, most Jewish people do not have a clue that these
teachings exist in the Talmud (Judaism holiest book).
So What Does the Bible Teaches Concerning The Jewish People, The Church and the
Kingdom of God on Earth?
The Bible clearly teaches that Israel and the Church are one body. The Church
was not grafted into Israel, nor did Israel was grafted into the Church. The
Church and Israel are one and the same.
1 Corinthians 12:13 says: “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether
Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”
The word baptism means immersion or to be fully submerged. Baptism represents re-birth …
one having died and being born again into a new and different life. Notice that by the Holy
Spirit, both Jews and Non-Jews we were all fully immersed into one body, where “…there is
no distinction between Jews and Greeks; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to
all who call on him. For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:
12-13).”
In clarifying that God had not abandoned Israel nor has He replaced Israel with gentile
believers, the Apostle Paul wrote to the Roman believers: “… Has God cast away His
people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew (Romans 11:1-2).”
Paul explained that only the elect of Israel (those who searched for God in spirit and truth) had
received Christ (HaMashiach), but majority of the Jewish people did not received Him, simply
because they sought God’s grace faith. For this reason God has blinded them and has given
them a spirit of stupor.
What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the
rest were blinded. Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they
should not see and ears that they should not hear, To this very day (Romans 11:7-8)”
In the same manner that Jewish people today are blinded today by the rabbinical teachings of
the Talmud, many of the Jewish people at the time when Jesus (Yeshua) appeared in
Jerusalem, were blinded by the teachings and the traditions taught by the Pharisees and the
Scribes.
“… The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not
do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders …They love
the best places at feasts, … and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be
called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren (Matthew 23:2-8).”
Notice below that the Pharisees and the scribes shut up the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
(Yeshua) came to restore the kingdom of David (Israel - the kingdom of God on earth), but the
Pharisees and the scribes with their teachings would not allow the people to enter.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go
in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! …“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make
him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves (Matthew 23:13-15).”
In the same manner that the Pharisees and the scribes traveled all of the Empire of Rome
seeking proselytes (converts that would follow them), Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish
Rabbis today are searching for Jewish followers today; luring them away from Jesus (Yeshua)
the true Christ (Ha-Mashiach) and into the paws of the false messiah (Antichrist) who they are
desperately searching for today.
The Prophet Jeremiah foretold that God would establish a new covenant with better promises
than that of the Law of Moses.
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I
will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they
shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of
them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more
(Jeremiah 31:31-34).”
Jesus (Yeshua) put an end to the Law of Moses which consisted mainly with sacrifices and
offerings for sins. He brought everlasting righteousness and salvation to every one who comes
to him. However, salvation for both Jewish and Non-Jewish people is not by performance of
the rituals and traditions of the Law of Moses, but by the grace of God. Paul clarified that
there remains a remnant of Jewish people according to the election of God’s grace who will be
saved by grace and not by the works (rituals) of the Law of Moses.
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant (of the Jewish people) according to
the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works (the rituals of the
Mosaic Law); otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace;
otherwise work is no longer work (Romans 11:5-6).”
Paul told Roman believers that the fall of the Nation of Israel brought salvation to the gentiles,
and in this manner God would provoke the Jewish people to Jealousy. The fall of the Jewish
Nation allowed for the riches of Israel to be shared with the gentiles. This allowed believers
(Jews and non-Jews) throughout the world to be reconciled in one body … one church … one
Israel. Paul further stated that at the time of the acceptance of the Nation of Israel (when the
eyes of all remaining Jewish people are opened to Christ), life will come back from the dead.
This refers to the time of the resurrection of the dead, which will happen at the time of Jesus’
(Yeshua’s) return.
I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall,
to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches
for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! For I
speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if
by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For
if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but
life from the dead (Romans 11:11-15).
Paul uses the analogy that the Jewish Nation (Israel) was like an olive tree that had some of
its branches broken off in order to allow for wild olive branches (gentile believers) to be grafted
into Israel the original olive tree. Some carnal theologians claimed that this refers to the
church being grafted into Israel as if the church is composed of only non-Jewish believers;
however, the text here simply refers to gentiles (non-Jewish) believers being grafted into Israel
that was formerly a Jewish nation.
Paul cautioned gentile believers to stand by faith and not to boast against Israel saying that
God had cut them off. He instructed them to fear, for if God did not spare the natural Jewish
people, He may not spare gentile believers either.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were
grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive
tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not
support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off
that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand
by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He
may not spare you either (Romans 11:17-21).”
The word Church (Greek: Ekklesia) is formed from two Greek words “Ek” meaning “out” and
the word “Kaleo” meaning “called.” The true translation of the word Church (Ekklesia) is
“called out.”
This word (Church) refers to those people who have been called out of the pagan traditions
and rituals of this world to serve the Living God of Israel in spirit and in truth.
The bible teaches that God called Abraham out of Ur of Chaldea, and made a covenant with
Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Contrary to the teachings of many
theologians, the history of the Church (the called out ones) began then. However, the mystery
of the Church was not revealed until Jesus (Yeshua) began to teach the Kingdom of God is at
hand.
“Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from
your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will
bless you, and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing (Genesis 12: 1-2).”
Notice above how God called Abraham out of a pagan nation to make him a great nation. This
is the beginning of the kingdom of God on earth (Israel).
When God called the descendants of Israel out of Egypt He told Moses:
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought
you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant,
then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And
you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which
you shall speak to the children of Israel (Exodus 19:4-6).”
In Exodus 14:4-6 (above) God told the people the descendants of Jacob (Israel) that He would
make them a Kingdom of priest, a holy nation and a special treasure above all other nations, if
they indeed obeyed God’s voice and kept His covenant. Notice here that the kingdom of God
on earth is Israel.
Now; was the earthly kingdom of God intended for natural Israelites alone? Certainly not! God
made a covenant with that he would be the father of many nations.
"As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have
made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make
nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me
and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to
be God to you and your descendants after you (Genesis 17:4-7)."
Notice above, God told Abraham that He would make “nations” of him, he would be the father
of “many nations” (not just the Jewish people). God had revealed through out the scriptures
that people from the gentiles (pagan nations) would one day be part of the Kingdom of Israel.
This would happen by the sacrifice of Christ who put an end of the law to allow non-Jewish
believer to be grafted into Israel.
“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the
gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So
then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham (Galatians 3:8-9).”
The Law of Moses prevented non-Jews from being part of Israel, so in order to the grafting of
Non-Jews into Israel, He first had to take away the Law of Moses in order to establish a new
covenant with all those who believe Him and follow Him though Jesus (Yeshua) the King of
Israel.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is
written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” that the blessing of Abraham might
come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).”
In Jesus (Yeshua), Jews and Non-Jews are one kingdom on earth called Israel, the nation that
was promised to Abraham, who is the father of many nations. Each and every promise given
to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who is Israel, now belongs to you who have been given the privilege
to be called Son of God through Christ (Hamashiach).
"If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise
(Galatians 3:29).”
Jesus (Yeshua) came to earth to receive for Himself a kingdom and to return. He came to
finish what God had started with Abraham in which Abraham would be the father of many
nations and all nations would be blessed by him.
In the scriptures below one should clearly see how through Christ (Messiah), God reconciles
non-Jews and Jews into one body… one church… one Israel. The Law of Moses prevented
non-Jews from being part of the commonwealth of Israel in order to fulfill the covenant that
God made with Abraham; God had to take the Law of Moses out of the way in order to make
us one body. See scriptures below!
“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. 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 (Ephesians 2:11-18).”
Do not call yourselves gentiles if you serve Jesus (Yeshua), the word “gentile” simply means
“pagan.” Those who serve God in spirit and truth are not gentiles, even if the are not of Jewish
ethnic background; this is why Paul above said to the Ephesians “therefore remember that
you, once Gentiles…”
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul continued by saying: “Now, therefore, you are no longer
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the
household of God ( The House of Israel), 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 (Ephesians 2:19-22).”
Notice above that Christians are fellow citizens of Israel. An American citizen is an American
just like a citizen of Israel is an Israelite. Paul is telling non-Jewish believers that they are just
as much Citizenz of Israel and the Jewish believers. He continued by saying that the whole
body of Israel (Jews and Non-Jews) in Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach) is being built into a
House and a dwelling for God. We are the Temple of God on earth if the Spirit of God dwells
in us.
The true Israel are those who have answered the calling of Christ (Messiah) who are not only
the Church (the called out ones), but also the Temple of God on Earth. God does not need or
want another man-made temple in Israel as the scriptures clearly teach that God does not live
inside things made by men but in those who have a poor and contrite spirit and who tremble at
the word of God.
“Thus says the LORD: “ Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the
house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My
hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “ But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word. “He who kills
a bull is as if he slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog’s neck; He
who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood; He who burns incense, as if he
blesses an idol. Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their
abominations, So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when
I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight (Isaiah 66:1-4).”
Notice above that God no longer wants sacrifices, or a Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple of
God is you. Jesus (Yeshua) went to Heaven to prepare a place for us and He is returning to
gather us into the place that He is. The New Jerusalem has no Temple in it for God and the
Lamb (Jesus/Yeshua) are our temple and we are their temple (He will be in us and we will be
in him). Sacrificing an animal today for God is clearly an abomination to God.
Notice in the scriptures below that Abraham and his children were strangers and pilgrims on
earth, and since they desire a better country than Palestine (the Land of Israel on earth); God
has prepared for them a better place in heaven. This place is God’s house in the heavens,
where one day you and I will dwell with Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach) our Lord (Adonay)
and God our Father.
Therefore from one man (Abraham), and him as good as dead, were born as many as
the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were
assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And
truly if they had called to mind that country (Palestine) from which they had come out, they
would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly
country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a
city for them (Hebrews 11:12-16).”
Jesus (Yeshua) warned us that the man of sin (Antichrist) will appear at the Temple of
Jerusalem claiming that he is God and the Messiah. There are great efforts among orthodox
and ultra-orthodox Judaism for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and for identifying
the next high priest or king that will bring back to the Temple sacrifices and offering for sins.
BE WARNED - Our Jewish Messiah and High Priest ascended to heaven where He has
prepared a place for us. He was the sacrifice that took away the sins of Israel, and He does
not need to offer sacrifices for sins again. Only through Him we make it to God our Father.
THE NEXT JEWISH HIGH PRIEST COULD VERY WELL BE THE ANTICHRIST WHO CLAIM
TO BE THE AWAITED JEWISH MESSIAH. HE WILL DECEIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT
BELIEVE THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST (HaMashiach).
