None of these reasons prove modern day Israel has anything to do with the Biblical kingdom of Israel.
Now here is a mystery - that there is no proof the State of Israel has anything to do with the Biblical kingdom of Israel.
Except that there's plenty of proof.....
Numerous proofs and documentation have been provided both in the Bible and posts I've entered here.
Here's a few more....
- The people are the same. Jews inhabit the modern state just as they did the ancient state.
- The traditions and ceremonies, such as pesach, are identical.
- Holy scripture is identical.
- They worship Adonai just as their forebears.
- They recite the shema as a statement of faith just as their fathers did.
- God's promise to restore Israel to the land has been fulfilled precisely.
- Divine miracles have accompanied the establishment and preservation of the State of Israel.
- Israelis speak and write the same language in the 21st century as in ancient times.
The issue here is not sufficiency of proofs, but the suppression of proof.
The same cannot be said of the church,
..
as spiritual successor or replacement of ancient Israel in any form .....
the church denies the God of Israel,
denies the Bible is the inspired Word of God,
has rejected the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
and has corrupted the gospel itself as taught by Christ and His apostles
.........to the point it has become unrecognizable from 1st century believers.
The church has NO legitimate basis upon which to claim it represents anything except itself.
Here are some proofs of that sad state of affairs;
- Founded by Jews in the first century, the gospel was kidnapped by the church and corrupted by its pagan ideologies. Thus the beliefs of
the 21st century church has NOTHING to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Every church group speaks its national language. There are no common words among them.
The church has nothing to do with its national neighbors and denies its historic roots in Hebrew (Old Covenant).
- The Bible states that God established Jesus Christ as the head of the church, yet Roman Emperor Constantine gave legal rights to the church to hold property, tax its members, establish the priesthood, and determine ideology including adoption of pagan philosophy directly into Christianity.
The church as established by the apostles of Christ has NOTHING to do with the gospel as described in the Bible.
- The Protestant Church is illegitimate by every measure known to civilization. It is a rebellious cult, which broke off from the legal church established by Constantine. It retains pagan beliefs and traditions of Catholicism while inaugurating its own heresies.
The Protestant church has NOTHING to do with the gospel as described in the Bible.
- The church has continuously been guilty of crimes against humanity particularly the Jewish people. From earliest records of gentile capture of the church in the third century to the present day refusal to recognize Jewish roots of the Christian religion, the right of Jews to live and the establishment of Israel by act of divine providence has been the rule.
The gentile church has NOTHING to do with Biblical revelation and salvation.
-
The church lies when it claims to love others. No other religious group has established slavery as an advantage to its economy and genocide as national policy (Native Americans as well as Jews). Anti-semitism has been at the core of Christian behavior, theology, as well as throughout its disgusting history.
No other religion, not even Islam, has been responsible for shedding so much Jewish blood.
Yet Christians continue to assert they are more righteous than the Jews (or anybody else for that matter) and deserve the mantle of spiritual leadership of humanity. If this isn't the greatest example of conceit ever thrust upon mankind I do not know of one better.
Christian nations are guilty of shedding more blood among themselves as well as other nationalities and religions, than all other religions and nations combined.
The church has NOTHING to do with the love of Christ as presented in the Bible.
The gentile church has NOTHING to do with respect of God, His Chosen People or the rule of law as established in the Ten Commandments. Murder, lies and thievery are the hallmark of Christian history with regard to Jews and Israel.
The church has NOTHING to do with Biblical concepts of love and tolerance.
No proof that the modern State of Israel has anything to do with ancient Biblical Israel?
There are plenty of proofs if you want documentation.
There is also plenty of anti-semitic argument provided by
the church, an illegitimate cult that claims to love God, to deny the divine purpose in Israel, to deny the truth of the Old Covenant and to even deny the right of the Jewish people a homeland and the right to live their lives in peace.
Show me proof that the church has anything at all to do with worship and respect of God AS GOD HAS ORDAINED IN THE WORDS OF THE OLD COVENANT. I suspect you will not be able to provide many at all. Many Christians even deny the right of the Old Covenant to be included in the full body of the Holy Bible. Post Modernist ideology has so fully corrupted the church that it no longer holds the Word of God sacrosanct. At least four main denominations have denied the Bible completely(1). As a consequence God has pronounced them Ichabod(2).
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
- God speaking to Abraham concerning Abraham's progeny, the people of Israel
Genesis 12:3
Beware the anti-semitic attitude of Christians. El Shaddai has made promises to Israel. Acting and believing contrary to them is dangerous.
Replacement Theology is irrelevant. God is not interested in that opinion.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
(1)
The Presbyterian church, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the United Methodist Church and the Episcopal church have all made official statements by national church assemblies, conclaves and/or conventions that the Bible is
not the inspired Word of God. The Roman Catholic church never made such a statement in the first place and over the centuries succeeded in corrupting even the text of the Bible as originally translated.

Ichabod def. - the spirit has departed. (1 Samuel 4:19-22)
During the last national revival in the late 1960's and early 1970's, church leadership uniformly denied the ministry of the Holy Spirit and rejected its offer and inspiration of salvation to the unregenerate
and to the nation. As a consequence,
the United States of America IS ICHABOD in the eyes of heaven.
God shall curse, not bless America. The nation is under judgment at this very hour.
