Romans 11

Question from a reader: “Hey Fritz, what is your interpretation of Romans 11? I’m currently trying to figure out what God means by saving all Israel and grafting them back in. It seems the mystery is to heal the blindness of the people of Israel in the last days.”

Answer: This is a great question and one I look forward to writing about. Of course, this could take a book in itself, but I’ll be brief.

First, start this by reading from Romans 9.  I’m very happy to say that Paul sets a precedent for the love of one’s own race.  For him they were his “brethren . . . kinsmen according to the flesh,” Israelites. (Romans 9:1-3)  He would rather be eternally damned if it meant salvation for his own race.  He repeats this in Romans 10:1.

And for this I say the same thing for the Whites, the Europeans — I would gladly give my eternal soul for their salvation, for they are my kinsmen according to the flesh for whom the Gospel was designed — it was to the Europeans that the care of the Vineyard went (Matthew 21:43).  

Who is Israel?  Here are four answers to that: …

The Jews are not “God’s chosen people.”  Some Christians criticize this position and rail against  “Replacement Theology” as some kind of heresy.  In fact, “replacement theology” is as legitimate as the replacement of Judas Iscariot with Matthias.   

Judas Iscariot was replaced. Another man filled his ministry. His ministry and calling did not go away, but Judas  did.  Someone filled that gap.  Judas is a type of the Jew, starting with his name, Judas, and linked to his town, Iscariot/Kerioth, located in the land of Judea.  

Jesus Christ (God) himself called Judas Iscariot to the ministry — it was Judas’ calling and purpose.  Jesus did not make a mistake when he called Judas.   Never-the-less, Judas turned aside and went his own way and the disciples understood that he had to be replaced.  So Matthias stepped into his ministry and took his place.   Judas was replaced.

Gods intent to replace the ancient Nation of Israel was clear from its very inception — God himself told Moses to stand aside so he could wipe them out and start a new nation afresh from Moses.   This replacement would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ —  who was the fulfillment of both Moses (who willed to be sacrificed for His people),  and from Him (Jesus), from which a new race would be born. That ancient nation was a stiff-necked and hard hearted people who always were resisting the Holy Spirit.  Stephen encapsulates this in Acts 7 when he reminds them that they rejected both Joseph and Moses as well as killed the prophets and became the murders of the Righteous One.  

Jesus Christ told the Jews that they would be replaced.  He told Jerusalem that your house would be left desolate and cursed the fig tree (a type of Israel) with eternal barrenness.  And in the parable of the wedding feast, those invited refused to come, and God replaced them with other guests. …
