Has The Church Replaced Israel?

Who is the true Israel? Who is the true Jew? In today’s show, guest Dr. R. Scott Clark and Pastor Chris Gordon dive into the current state of Israel and how it can cause people to look to biblical prophecy for answers. They discuss and dispel the dispensational view and clearly define who the true Israel is. Listen in as they go through scripture to parse out how Jesus is the center of the story, the true Israel of God and the perfect obedient son. They stress why it’s so important for Christians today to understand and accurately define who the true Jew is, not a person of the flesh, but of the regenerated spirit.
