If you read Galatians 3, as you probably have, the church is now Israel and heirs of God's promises to Abraham. It isn't a piece of real estate or an ethnic group that has intermarried itself out of existence.

Ah…..replacement theology. That’s a dangerous, unscriptural teaching.

The ‘church’ was established by Edomites. (Esau and Ishmael’s progeny)

Those who became believers have been grafted into the Olive Tree, but we have been warned against boasting and ridiculing the olive branches that were cut off. Did you know that an olive branch that has become unfruitful can be cut off and lay beside the olive tree for years and STILL be grafted BACK into the tree and produce fruit?

Did you know that’s why His side was pierced?

The olive tree has to be pierced for a WILD olive branch to be grafted in. The implant is placed into the pierced side, of the TREE, then wrapped in linen .

How long before the graft takes hold?

Three days!!! (Resurrection!)

But He said if you boast against the original branch, you are in danger of being cut off yourself.

May that never be!!. Because HE will restore the original branch and it WILL produce fruit.

The Edomites church has taught this lie of replacement theology and it is a Lie, just as Esau and Ishmael told lies is Isaac and then Jacob throughout the Bible, their children and their children’s children are teaching those same lies today.

Well, I don't know any Edomites and they haven't taught me any lies. You can wait for God to give Israel more real estate if you like, but don't miss out on the Kingdom of God.

One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?”

Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you."

Matt. 17:20-21
