What is replacement theology?
The people accused of promoting replacement theology are not replacing anything. They are including the advice given by God to all of His children whether by types and examples or directly. All of the Word of YHVH applies to you!
Talk about a misnomer. The claim is; there are those who teach the “Church” has replaced the House of Israel in scripture. In reality the Church is made up of believers and it doesn’t matter if they are from the 12 tribes or if they are gentiles. They are all part of the Church or body of Christ. You can interchange them. The promises are all the same. In the NT the grafted and natural seed are on the same footing. In Gods eyes they are one in the same. So…in that light how can you replace one with the other? Christ’s blood saves all.

The term “replacement theology” is misplaced. It’s a contradiction of the new covenant which is for ALL believers. The Ten Commandments are for all and not just the tribe of Judah. I believe there is no such thing as the Old and New Testament, they have become one. Both were created before the foundations of this age if you believe John 1:1.

A funny thing is; When you say “the prophesy” is only directed at Jews, you have to be able to identify who the real Jews are and even the meaning of the word itself. I doubt any of these rogue scholars could identify a Jew by patrimony or residence. Also, is he a practicing Jew by religion? Which one is it?

Although prophets like Jeremiah were written specifically to the tribe of Judah it’s made very clear who it’s written to. Any warning from God to repent and turn from your wicked ways is applicable to all Christians and not necessarily just the “Jews”. After Jesus Christ none of the so called Jewish rituals apply to Christians or for that matter, Jews. A Jew can sin in the same way a gentile or an Israelite, so how can they be singled out for judgment based on their creed or color?

Those who subscribe to this theory have a fundamental misunderstanding of the new covenant and the 12 tribes of the OT. To start off with, they believe all of the 12 tribes are Jews. In reality there are 11 other tribes and they all make up the 12 Tribes of Israel.
What benefit is there to replace the 12 tribes with the Church? Or vice versa? Usually when these false teachers claim a prophesy is written to the Jews only, it is one that disagrees with their theology.

Christ is the object of the OT and the fulfillment of it. This in itself contracts the understanding of replacement theology because there is no need for it. The Old and the New Testament are now written to all believers whether Israelite or Gentile. Please quit interchanging the word “Jew” and “Israelite”.
This is just another example of the blind leading the blind and how far from the truth the modern Church is.

The 12 tribes of Israel have been scattered all over the world by Gods design and the House of Israel and the House of Judah are separated at this time according to Ezekiel 37.
To only speak about one of the 12 tribes of Israel is lopsided incomplete theology and you will be left with only confusion. There is a reason they’re called the “Lost Sheep” because they are truly lost and don’t know who they are and this doctrine of replacement theology is just one of the symptoms of their ignorance.

All 12 tribes have the same standing and all were given the blessing of Abraham through Jacob. Now the gentiles have the same blessing under Jesus Christ. You as a tribe of Judah have the choice between the Talmud or the Torah and the NT. Whether Jew Gentile or Israelite; all have the same blessing under Jesus Christ if they believe.

How can you replace one with the other when you’re confused about the identity of both parties? Many of the Lost Sheep don’t know who they are. So how does replacement theology apply to them? How does this apply to the so called Messianic Jew? Every bit of the nomenclature used to describe the 12 tribes and the Jews are erroneous.
A prophesy only exists in a person’s mind if they can’t identify the object of that prophesy.

Just because a people reject the Word of God is not proof it wasn’t written to them. The world is full of unbelievers and Gods word is still written to them also.

The people responsible for coining the phrase “replacement theology” are novices and haven’t done their homework.
I call this literary blindness. They fail to see the world around them and connect the dots between the literal and the physical. They can’t tell you the difference between a Jew and an Israelite. They also conflate the word as if they were one in the same. Conflation is the name of their game. They also conflate ones religion with their genetic family tree.

When the word “Jew” is used you have to be able to distinguish which of the two meanings is being referred to; A resident of Judea, or by DNA (Patronymically). If you conflate the two you will be lost just as our brothers who teach this utter nonsense. The prophesies in the OT were written to all people after Christ’s crucifixion.

A lot of the OT prophesies were directed towards the Tribe of Judah and the House of Israel at the time but they could apply as “types” or ‘examples” to all believers now because of Jesus Christ. Many of those same prophesies have yet to come to pass and they apply to everybody now.

Claiming that OT or NT prophesies are written to only Jews is not written anywhere in scripture. However, Judah and Israel are singled out in OT prophesy.
When the false teachers refer to the word Jew they mean all of the 12 tribes are Jews. This is false and misleading. All of the 12 tribes are not Jews…Only one tribe is Judah. They never speak on the other 11 tribes who are called the Lost sheep of the House of Israel. Show me one scripture that says all the tribes are Jewish. There isn’t one but they claim it’s there.

There are only two meanings for the Hebrew word. One is a resident of Judea or one is a descendant of Judah. Not all are necessarily of Judah by DNA. There is a big difference between a bloodline and a geographical location. This is a very common mistake in Bible hermeneutics.

First time the word Jew is used
2 Kings 16:6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
2 Corinthians 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; (Jew)
Romans 11: 11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin
(Acts 22:3) I am indeed a Jew, (By religion) born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city [Jerusalem] at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

Paul is making the distinction between his faith which was in the Torah and Judaism and his Roman citizenship. He was not saying he is a Jew by genetics but that it was his religion. His genetics were of the tribe of Benjamin. There is a clear distinction but you have to rightly divide the truth being spoken of.

Blessing, character traits and identification of
Jacob to his 12 sons

Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

Genesis 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

General facts about the 12 tribes; when the word “Jacob” is used scripture is pointing to the natural seed of Jacob and all of the 12 tribes generally before the captivities. When the word “Israel” is being used it’s a reference to the 10 northern tribes (respectively post captivity) excluding Judah-Benjamin. Ephraim (10 northern Tribes) and Israel are often interchanged. Ephraim was the largest.
It is a fact that many of the modern day tribe of Judah has turned their back on the Torah towards the Talmud. They do not believe Christ was the Messiah either. This to me is further proof of the separation of the tribe of Judah from the rest of the 10 tribes of Israel in modern times. Belief in Jesus Christ will reunify any of the 12 tribes at any time, but as whole, it will not happen until the end of this age.
When you look at the real world which should be reality to you—you can see Bible prophesy come true in every sense of the word. Nomenclature used in the description of the Jews and the 12 tribes is sadly misdirected in the modern world. Words like “replacement theology” “Messianic Jew” and many more are based on pure ignorance and have no scriptural basis. For this to be true you would have to apply the term “messianic’ in front of the other 10 tribes as well.
Dispelling myths; Just because you’re a resident of Israel doesn’t mean you’re a Jew by patrimony. You can’t interchange the word Jew and Israel. A Jew is of the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Dan is not the tribe of Levi. The tribe of Judah is not the tribe of Issachar. They are all different and distinct from one another. Would you get those distinctions from Jacob their father or would you get them from a modern day false teacher who will tell you they are all Jews?

We are told in scripture in an indirect way that the House of Israel and the House of Judah are 2 separate houses now. First, the 10 northern tribes were captured and then scattered. Second, the 2 southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin were captured and scattered as well. They have not joined back together again until Ezekiel 37 takes place.

Ezekiel 37:16 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16 As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand. (This will happen on the Lords day at the beginning of the Millennium.)

After the captivity of the ten northern tribes at the hand of the Assyrians in around 787 BC the 10 tribes scattered all over the world. Then later, in around 587 BC the 2 southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin were conquered by Nebuchadnezzar, taken into captivity and later scattered as well.

Most people assume the Jewish people are the sole remaining descendants of the ancient nation of Israel. This assumption, however, is incorrect.
Technically the Jews are descendants of two of the Israelite tribes: Judah and Benjamin, plus a considerable part of a third, the priestly tribe of Levi.
Unknown to most, 10 other tribes in ancient Israel were never called Jews. These northern tribes were historically distinct and politically separate from the Jews, their brothers to the south who formed the kingdom of Judah, from which the term Jew was derived.
The northern coalition of tribes, the kingdom or house of Israel, had already become an independent nation, separate from the house of Judah, by the time the word Jew first appears in the biblical narrative. In fact, the first time the term appears in the King James Version of the Bible, Israel was at war with the Jews (2 Kings 16:5-6).
Are all Israelites Jews? No. Jews—the citizens and descendants of the kingdom of Judah—are indeed Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews. Since all 12 tribes, including Jews, are descendants of their father Israel (Jacob), we can apply the term Israelite to all of the tribes. The term Jew, however, is accurate only for the tribes that comprised the kingdom of Judah and for their descendants.
