The Doctrine of Israel (Part One): Origins

How Israel Came to Be

Because Abraham trusted God, his descendants have received unprecedented blessings. If the Israelites would have kept God's law, they would have served as a model.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Two): The Old Covenant

Terms and Conditions

God made the New Covenant because Jacob's offspring did not have what it took to fulfill the terms of the Old Covenant. The carnal mind is hostile to God's law.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Three): A Cycle of Rebellion

A Carnal People

Israel consistently cycles through God's deliverance, apostasy through idolatry and immorality, God's chastening, national repentance, then deliverance again.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Four): God's Indictment

Why God Had to Punish Israel

Even though Jacob's offspring have had a special relationship with God, their carnal nature led them to test God's patience, growing more corrupt than even Sodom.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Five): A Remnant of Judah

Exile, Return, and Disobedience

Despite her former relationship with God, absolutely no nation could ever out-sin Judah, even though God had given her multiple warnings to repent.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Six): New Testament Teaching

Israel in the Gospels-Acts

Those who follow Christ are the true Israel, the Elect, and the Chosen, called by God to precede unfaithful physical Israel in the salvation process.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Seven): Romans 9

An Elect Remnant

Paul describes physical Israel as broken branches, allowing gentile branches to be grafted in, ultimately leading to the return of Israel to God's grace.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Eight): Romans 10

The Righteousness of Faith

From the days of Sinai on, the ancient Israelites fixated on the notion that they were God's chosen people. This perspective proved counterproductive.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Ten): Where Is Israel Today?

Biblical Directions to Modern Israel

No matter how scattered Israel is, God will not lose the smallest grain. Using Jerusalem as a reference point, Israel dispersed north and west into Europe.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Eleven): Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33

Nations Are Families Grown Large

Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33 identify the family traits of the Israelite tribes. God maintains a closer relationship with Israel than with any other people.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Twelve): Joseph

God frequently bypasses the firstborn, selecting for His purposes another sibling. Jacob selected Joseph's second son, Ephraim, to receive the blessing.


The Doctrine of Israel (Part Fourteen): Israel Redeemed

The Fulfillment of Atonement

God employs a winnowing process in selecting those who will enter the Millennium. The process includes punishment for Israel's failure to serve as priests.
