Israel is Not Replaced

Making Sense of the Increasing Hatred of the Nation of Israel

The Rise of Antisemitism and Hostility Toward Israel

In recent years, the resurgence of antisemitism has cast a troubling shadow across global societies, manifesting in both overt and subtle forms. From vandalism of synagogues to inflammatory rhetoric on social media, incidents of hatred toward Jewish communities have surged, often fueled by age-old stereotypes and conspiracy theories. This rise is not isolated but intertwined with a growing wave of hostility toward the nation of Israel, where criticism of state policies frequently morphs into blanket demonization of its people and culture. The conflation of legitimate political discourse with antisemitic tropes—such as portraying Israel as a monolithic evil—has amplified division, creating fertile ground for prejudice to flourish unchecked.

This troubling trend is compounded by the polarization of global politics, where Israel is often positioned as a lightning rod for broader ideological battles. Social media platforms, while amplifying voices, have also become breeding grounds for misinformation and dehumanizing narratives that paint Jewish people and Israel as existential threats. The impact is profound: Jewish communities face increasing fear and alienation, while the space for nuanced dialogue about Israel’s role in the world shrinks. Addressing this dual challenge requires confronting antisemitism head-on, fostering education to dismantle stereotypes, and encouraging discussions that separate policy critiques from cultural or ethnic vilification. Only through such efforts can we hope to stem the tide of hatred and rebuild mutual understanding.

Some Christian denominations, particularly those adhering to **supersessionism** or replacement theology, hold the view that the Church has replaced Israel as God’s chosen people in end-times prophecy. This perspective, rooted in certain interpretations of New Testament scriptures (e.g., Romans 11 and Galatians 3:28-29), posits that the promises made to ancient Israel in the Old Testament are now fulfilled spiritually through the Church, which comprises all believers in Christ, regardless of ethnicity. Proponents, including some mainline Protestant churches and certain Catholic theologians, argue that the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948 holds no unique prophetic significance, and eschatological events focus on the universal Church rather than a restored Jewish nation. Critics of this view, often from dispensationalist circles, contend it diminishes the biblical role of Israel in end-times events, leading to ongoing theological debates within Christianity.

Israel is not Replaced

The Word of God is clear that Israel has not been replaced by the Church. Come and hear Iranian-born, former Muslim Pastor Shahram Hadian of Truth in Love ministry in his powerful and direct talk that addresses how the Abrahamic Covenant is not over as he outlines the ongoing theological errors destroying Biblical support for Israel and the Jewish people.

In this captivating presentation, Shahram will dive into topics like: Why a Christian Persian supports Israel; How Israel is God's timepiece for end time events; The miracle of Israel's rebirth and the coming Promised Land; Exposing the myth of Palestine; The alarming rise of Islam and Jew hatred, making sense of anti-semitism; Normalizing the 3rd Temple - will Jews rebuild it?

Israel is now ripe for the deception of the anti-Christ. We must. continue to pray for the salvation of the Jews.
