Tucker Carlson’s mockery and God’s irrevocable call

Michie · Tuesday at 7:04 AM

Paul, the self-described apostle to the Gentiles, wrote these words to Christians in Rome: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29). What was Paul talking about?

He was declaring that God keeps His promises even when we don’t. In Romans 9-11, Paul defends the faithfulness of God to Israel to reassure Gentile believers that the Gospel promise he had just written in Romans 10 could be trusted — “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Because the covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 12 remains valid, and will be fully fulfilled, we can be confident the promise of the New Covenant will be fulfilled: God gave this promise to Abraham, “Go from your country… to a land that I will show you.… I will make of you a great nation... I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

This continuity of covenant undergirds Christian support for Israel today. God’s redemptive plan was never revoked — it was expanded. The Church has been grafted into the covenant, not as a replacement for Israel, but as partakers in God’s unfolding promise. Paul warns Gentile believers in Romans 11:18, “Do not boast against the branches ... remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”

What does this have to do with what is happening in our nation and in the world? How we view this topic will shape the public policies we support or oppose. Some voices — even among those who claim the name of Christ — are labeling these beliefs and convictions as “Christian heresy.” Recently, Tucker Carlson, in a conversation with known antisemite Nick Fuentes, mocked Christians like Mike Huckabee and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) who support Israel’s right to its land and existence. He claimed Christian Zionists are “seized by a brain virus” and that their beliefs are “Christian heresy.”

Oi vey, any Christian who thinks God's covenant was a real estate transaction seriously misunderstands their faith.

I support Israel, but not for any theological reason. The OG Zionist Theodor Herzl thought "it would be nice" if they could get the old land of Israel and Judah, but he and his followers seriously considered land in Argentina, Uganda, Cyprus, Iraq, etc. (Would have been convenient if they had gotten Borough Park in NYC.

)

As we speak, the Church is Israel and Israel is the Church. There is nothing special about the modern state of Israel. There is nothing special about Jews. As St. John the Baptist put it - "And think not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham as our father: for I say unto you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children of Abraham."

I don't know everything Tucker has said, but judging from that article he is correct on the basic question. If he or the other guy have hatred in their hearts for Jews or anyone else, they will have to answer to God for that.

Is not the destiny of Israel, according to the apostolic teaching (Ro 11:16-23) of Christ (Lk 10:16), to be grafted back into the one tree of God's people IF (not "when") they do not persist in unbelief?

Is not all mankind on the same footing in the NT; i.e., salvation is only by faith in Jesus Christ (Jn 3:18)?

The best argument i read recently, by a baptist no less..

Is that jesus death was the exit clause of the abrahamic covenant.

Only for those who believe in Jesus and his atoning work for the remission of their sin. . .

Not to mention the apostolic teaching (Heb 8:13) of Christ (Lk 10:16) that the Abrahamic Covenant is obsolete.

The point is God ended his covenant with all of abrahams physical descendents. The birds ans animals cut into two as Jesus walked between them...

This is my body, broken for you, take and eat ...

And history shows us thats what happened.

The miraculous return of an imposter nation, 2525 years after being hauled off to Babylon, is not a good thing. They will be dispersed again

Tony Perkins sets up a straw man of traditional Christian covenant theology, as all dispensationalist are prone to doing. The covenant with Abraham is not "defunct", but it is fulfilled in Christ. That doesn't justify supporting the modern Zionist project on purely theological grounds.

Having said that, Nick Fuentes views of Jews (eg, "International Jewery") are far-right conspiracy nonsense that actually is the kind of thing that lead to the (tragic) rise of Zionism in the first place.

Dispensationalism, and the associated Christian Zionism, owe alot to 19th century British fundamentalist biblicism. Alot of early British Zionists wanted to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine because they thought it would lead support to fulfillment of biblical prophecies. It has nothing directly to do with salvation as traditionally understood, therefore it shouldn't be something that is demanded of anyone to believe in as an article of the faith.

From Chaim Weizmann's lips to Louis Brandeis' ears, then on to Woodrow Wilson's. Is that International Jewry?
