Replacement theology is NOT an error, it is intentional deceit.

1. GENESIS 48: The Blessing
• Jacob was near death
• Joseph’s two sons were born
to Asenath, Egyptian wife
• Jacob (Israel) learned of
Abrahamic Covenant from his
father, Isaac
• Kahal ammim = holy
convocation of fellow
countrymen
• Will receive Canaan as “the
1
Land of Promise”

2. •
•
•
•
•
Luz = Beth-el
Jacob did NOT call God Y-H-W-H (Yehoveh)
Paleo-linguistics study of ancient languages
Shaddai is cognate of the Akkadian word “Shaddu”
Shaddu means “mountain”
• El Shaddai = God of the Mountain
2

3. JACOB ADOPTS JOSEPH’S 2 SONS
• Jacob did NOT simply
make these boys
Israelites
• Ephraim and Manasseh
became sons, equals to
his other 12 sons
• There were at that
moment 14 tribes of Israel
3

4. WHY DO YOU LOVE ISRAEL?
• Church has ignored the
principle: We must be grafted
into the spiritual heritage of
Israel to be saved
• This is done through Yeshua
• The “family of God” is Israel
• What makes the Church “The
Church” is our being grafted
into the covenants of Israel
• Not a PHYSICAL grafting, but
a SPIRITUAL grafting
• A Spiritual Ideal of Israel
GENTILES
ISRAEL
4

5. OLDER AND NEWEST COVENANTS
GIVEN TO ISRAEL!
• Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold…I
will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and
with the house of Judah…”
• There is no “gentile” covenant
• NO ONE can partake in these
covenants unless they are part
of Israel
• Gentiles MUST be declared
part of Israel to have legal
access to the covenants
(including the NEW covenant
in Yeshua)
5

6. HAS “THE CHURCH” REPLACED
ISRAEL?
• NAS Jeremiah 31:35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the
sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and
the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its
waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 36 "If this
fixed order departs From before Me," declares the LORD,
"Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a
nation before Me forever." 37 Thus says the LORD, "If the
heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of
the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all
the offspring of Israel For all that they have done," declares
the LORD.
• Replacement theology is NOT an error, it is intentional deceit
6
• An attempt to STEAL Israel’s heritage from them

7. GENTILES CAN BE
INCLUDED…..IF…
• NOT because we’re “good”
• God made provision for
foreigners (gentiles) to join
Israel
• Gentiles to be 1st class
citizens
• Outside of joining Israel from
a spiritual perspective, there
is no way to partake of their
covenants
• This is done by faith in
Yeshua
7

8. • From the Jews, to
the Gentiles, back
to the Jews
• The goal is that
ALL ISRAEL BE
SAVED
• Romans 2:26
• Jew = Israel to
Paul
• A “true Jew”
must be a
“spiritual
8
Israelite”

9. IT’S OUR SPIRITUAL STANDING
WITH GOD THAT MATTERS
• Our spiritual standing is based on what?
• Based on the covenants made with Israel, including
the New Covenant in Yeshua
• Paul is talking to Jews and gentiles
• Romans 3:1-3
• NO spiritual distinction between those who trust
Yehoveh
• BUT, there IS a physical distinction: there remains
physical Jews (Israelites) and physical gentiles!
• Physical Jews have an advantage, they brought “the
Word” into the world
• ALL who trust Yeshua for salvation are made part of
“true Israel”…….. “spiritual Jews” (spiritual Israelites)
9

10. KINGDOM OF GOD
• Kingdom of God is
people
• People who have given
themselves over to God
• FAITH in Yeshua is the
SOLE identifying factor
as to who is a member
• BUT…..the LEGAL
reason for all this is
contained in the
covenants with Israel
• Jews do NOT take on
gentile physical identity
• Gentiles do NOT take
on Jewish physical
identity

Ephesians 2:11
Gentiles by birth, OUTSIDERS to Israel & God
By means of Christ, declared INSIDERS
Romans 9:6
Not EVERY Israelite is part of “true” Israel (Spiritual
Israel)
Not EVERY gentile will become part of the Kingdom of
God (true/spiritual Israel)
Galatians 3:26
Faith in Yeshua = seed of Abraham
Heirs according the promise MEANS according to the
covenant with Abraham
Christ was PART of God’s plan, but not ALL of it 12

13. 13

14. GENESIS 48
Part 2
• “True” Israelite = Spiritual
Israelite
• One who embodies the
ideals of Israel and Torah
• A Believer in Yeshua
• Word= Memra =Logos
• Ideals given to Moses on
Mt. Sinai (Torah)
• Jacob adopted Joseph’s 2
sons
• Ephraim to be a blessing
to the gentile nations
Jacob’s Cross-Handed Blessing

15. ISRAEL POSSESSES THE LAND
• Num.34:13 – 28
• Spies report that Canaan
could not be conquered
• God punishes Israel by
sending back into the
Wilderness for 40 years
• After 40 years, Israel is
now ready to take Canaan
• “….when you enter
Canaan……it will
become your land…”
2

16. WHO OWNS THE LAND?
• The only viewpoint that matters…….is GOD’s!!
3

17. DEBATING
ISRAEL IS
FOOLISH!!
• Modern geo-political
realities have no bearing on
God giving the land to
Israel
• Fairness, human ideas of
morality, don’t matter
regarding Israel
• Seeking peace with Islam
doesn’t matter, if it means
compromising Israel
• Our need for appeasing oil
rich Arab nations doesn’t
matter if it means siding
with Israel’s enemies
4

18. • Numbers 34 occurs 450
years AFTER CrossHanded Blessing
• 2 tribes plus ½ of another
did NOT enter Canaan
• Rueben, Gad, and ½ of
Manasseh
• Tribes of Ephraim and
Manasseh replace tribe of
Joseph
• Tribe of Levi is NOT given
territory
5

19. LEVI’S INHERITANCE
• Levi removed as a tribe of
Israel upon the census
• Levi’s sole job is to serve
God
• Levi received 48 cities
instead of a territory
• Even though there are 13
named tribes, Levi is NOT
part of Israel
• God adopted Levi away
from Jacob (Israel)
• Two Houses of Israel makeup the WHOLE house of
Israel
6

20. • Modern Israel believes their problem is a conspiracy of men
UN, EU, Palestinians, Muslims
• So, they fight, negotiate, fight, negotiate, fight……..
• Isaiah 8:11-16 Isaiah told NOT to react as Israel reacts, or to
fear as Israel fears
• Rather they should sue for peace with GOD!
• Christians need to believe the Scriptures and seek God for
7
peace, not compromise with evil

21. TWO HOUSES OF ISRAEL
• Jeremiah 33:23 – 26
• Two families = two
houses
• God says: “….the world
says He has rejected
Israel…..”
• In response, God says:
“ if day and night no
longer exist……then I
will reject Israel…..”
• Israel is, and will always
8
be, God’s chosen people

22. ISRAEL IS DIVIDED INTO TWO
KINGDOMS
• Solomon dies in
925 B.C.
CIVIL WAR!!!
EPHRAIM
Judah controls the south
Judah absorbed Benjamin
Ephraim controls the north
• Ephraim absorbed the other
10 tribes
• Israel now called Ephraim
• After 925 B.C., Bible will
switch between “Ephraim”
and “Israel”
9

23. JUDAH AND EPHRAIM ARE NOW
STARKLEY DIFFERENT KINGDOMS
• Ephraim-Israel sought
after it’s neighbors
pagan ways
• Judah tried to stay
separate
• Ephraim adopted
neighbors’ gods
