Look, even if the nation of Israel can be proven to be direct physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
that nation is still no different from the nation of Iran, Afghanistan, etc from a new testament perspective.
and that is the crux of the issue. This is what dispensationalism refuses to accept.
I know from experience the talking points - "1948, sign of the fig tree, all Israel shall be saved, etc" when ingrained into a person can make it difficult to see that Israel is no different from any other nation under the new testament.
But man, studying
Jer 31,
Heb 8,
Joel 2,
Acts 2,
Gal 1-6,
Eph 2 totally removes the concept of any one special nation (including the U.S.A) if I may add.
Please, do not misconstrue this as "anti-semitic". All that is being said is that natural ancestry is of no consequence under the new covenant.
It's
John 14:6 or bust...
