Replacement Theology and the Land Promise
In this teaching, we examine supersessionism (replacement theology) and its common claim that the Old Testament contains land promises for Israel, while the New Testament is mostly silent, implying those promises are canceled or absorbed into the Church or Christ.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll hear two key reasons why the New Testament’s “silence” actually supports an unconditional land promise to Israel:
-
If the land promise were only a type, why doesn’t the New Testament use fulfillment language transferring it to the Church or to Jesus?
-
The New Testament’s primary focus is God’s grace going to the Gentiles, not redefining Israel’s land covenant.
