In our 26th episode of “Men Who Understood the Times,” we discuss: “What do we do with the claims of Christian Zionists?” The Zionist Claims:
Jews continue to play a special role in God’s plan
God has granted the Jewish people the land of Israel forever
The Jewish people will be converted en masse at the end of the age
The Old Testament sacrifices must be reinstated at the Temple for Jesus to return
Jesus will return to establish an earthly kingdom in Jerusalem.
The claims of Christian Zionists are too small for God’s Servant to merely restore physical Israel to glory. God’s grace is both for Jews and Gentiles who believe in God’s Servant for salvation. All believers become God’s spiritual Israel. (Read Romans 9-11.) “The Lord said: It is too small a thing that you should just be my servant to raise up only the tribes of Jacob and to restore the ones I have preserved in Israel, so I will appoint you to be a light for the nations, so that my salvation will be known to the end of the earth” (Is 49:6).
