- Israel may perform all the external religious rituals, but the one reliable way of seeing Israel’s true faithfulness to Yahweh is their occupation of the land. The covenant curses say that disobedience will result in loss of the land and exile from their home—something the prophets won’t let Israel forget as they flagrantly reject God’s rule.

Biola affirms “dispensationalism,” the view that Scripture teaches a distinction between the Church and Israel, and that ethnic Jews still have a place in God’s prophetic plan as His covenant people. Thus, Biola is also “premillennial” — we affirm that Jesus will return physically to earth to set up a kingdom centered in the nation of Israel. This ...
The Bible prophesies about “wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24:6) — presumably focused on the land of Israel — and it prophesies a final assault of the nations against Jerusalem (Ezekiel 39:2, 4, 17; Daniel 11:45; Joel 3:9-16; Zechariah 12:1-9). But these “wars and rumors of wars” are explicitly notsigns of the end — that is, Israel (if not the e...
On the one hand, we are exhorted in Scripture to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) and told that those who bless Abraham (and by extension Israel) will be blessed (Genesis 12:3). As a dispensationalist, I believe that God still has a covenant relationship with Israel, and I thus support Israel by default and, in particular, its right to...
A common misconception is that all biblical prophetic language is to be taken at absolute face value, that is, a “hyper-literalism.” Such an approach is wrong because it fails, at least, to take into account the various literary genres in which the prophecies are found.

(11:10-12a) That God is the owner of this land, and the Israelites merely his tenants, is expressed in various practices that are mandated.
Nov 21, 2023 · In a recent speech, Benjamin Netanyahu invoked the words of Ecclesiastes, "There's a time for war" as justification for Israel's military operation in Gaza. But is this an appropriate use of scripture?
Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, which has continued since 1967 and is the longest military occupation in modern history, [1] has become illegal under international law.
Nov 13, 2017 · Many Christians simply assume that the modern state of Israel is a direct continuation of the Israel of the Bible, and that the Jews of today are the direct descendants of Abraham. As such, the Abrahamic covenant, which included the promise of the land, is still valid and applies to modern Israel.
