I don't believe that God upholds Israel because it's Israel.

What God upholds its covenant.

There is a big difference between the state of Israel and Eretz Israel, which is the land of Israel.

We have many, many secular Jews by bloodline.

And again, I think it's a very complicated question when you start looking at the bloodlines

because there is scripture for those that say they were Jews and are not.

The replacement theory tends to take it from that point and say, well, the Jews are

disqualified for anything from God because they forsook him and left him and broke covenant,

and then it transferred to those that are in Christ or to the church.

But I would say that it still follows covenant rules on both sides.

And lots of Christians aren't walking in covenant, but they claim to be saved.

And lots of Jews aren't walking in covenant, but they claim to still be under God's divine rights.

I don't think it's a question of one's booted out and the others grafted in.

I think God grafted the Gentiles in to complete Israel, not to replace them.

I think Israel as a land is a microcosm of the whole earth.

That's the way God views it, and that's also why he wanted it to be the first fruit,

that there's an anointing on that land that can affect all of the earth.

And I've tracked this for a while and can say pretty authoritatively

that whenever war breaks out in Israel, it also breaks out somewhere else in the world.

The Jews, their choice is not to come back into covenant, their choices follow the prescribed rules of covenant,

and they're blind if they don't.

You can make a very good claim from Scripture that Samson moved an ancient boundary,
