Since we are accused
of being silent, perhaps you will allow me to speak out. We are not
silent, just unheard. Our doctrine has been called "Replacement Theology" but that is a
false name for it; it is actually "Fulfillment Theology." The promises
were not "transferred" but fulfilled in Christ, and the Church is His
Body in the world today.
Research will reveal that those people
calling themselves "Israel" and "Jews" are no more descendants by the
blood of Abraham than anyone else on earth today. Their identity is
determined by reference to the religion called "Judaism" which is handed
down from the Pharisees of the New Testament, which was THE
anti-Christian religion of that era. Their doctrines are extant in the
Talmud and Midrash. These writings are available at the website www.comeandhear.com
If you don't believe me, you can check it out for yourself. As for
their genealogy, the ancient genealogies were burned by Herod the
Idumean, and no person on earth today has an authoritative genealogy
back to Abraham except Christ, whose genealogy is in the Bible.
As
for the idea that these people are those who were cast out of the land
1800 years ago, you must refer to the Old Testament history of the
ten-tribe nation called "Israel" at that time. They were conquered and
taken captive by the King of Assyria and lost their identity through
assimilation, 2 Kings chapter 17:18 "Therefore the Lord was very angry
with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but
the tribe of Judah only." Verse 20: "And the Lord rejected all the seed
of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of
spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight." Verse 23: "Until the
Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his
servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land
to Assyria unto this day." Read the rest of this chapter.
The
Prophet Amos prophesied about 750 B.C.: Amos 5:2: "The virgin Israel is
fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is
none to raise her up."
Amos 7:8: "And the Lord said unto me, 'Amos,
what seest thou' And I said, 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord, 'Behold, I
will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again
pass by them any more." Amos 8:2: "And he said, 'Amos, what seest thou?'
And I said, 'A basket of summer fruit.' Then said the Lord unto me, 'The
end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any
more.'"
Amos 8:14: "They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say,
Thy god, O Dan, liveth, and The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they
shall fall, and never rise up again."
If the people calling
themselves "Israel" today are truly Israel, then Isaiah and Amos were
false prophets. That nation fell exactly as was prophesied, "never to
rise again."
As for some special standing with God, those
calling themselves "Jews" today may be saved by the blood of Jesus
Christ; there is no other way. That is how Romans 11:26-27 promises it:
"And so [a manner word, 'thus'] shall all Israel be saved as it is
written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob; 27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I
shall take away their sins."
That Deliverer was and is Jesus. Romans
10:12: "For there is no difference between the Jews and the Greek: for
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
