Modern Israel and Israel in the Bible:
Clarifying the Relationship
By Michael J. Vlach, Ph.D.
Professor of Theology, Shepherds Theological Seminary, Cary, NC
“The relationship between Israel of the Bible and the modern State of Israel is one of the most debated issues in contemporary Christian theology. Many Christians are trying to determine how present-day Israel relates to the Israel we read about in the pages of Scripture.
This paper examines the relationship between Israel in the Bible and
Israel today, with implications for how Christians should view Israel in the present era. I argue that Israel, as a people and nation, always remains significant in God’s purposes and that today’s Jewish state, though currently in unbelief, remains closely connected to the Israel described in Scripture.”
