Jesus, the prophets and the apostles had words of woe for wayward Israel. The big difference between them and most Christian Nationalist types who speak ill of the Jews is that the former wept and prayed for Israel’s salvation, believed that Israel remains “beloved for the sake of the fathers,” and held firm conviction that in covenant fulfilment God would one day redeem Jacob from all his sins and troubles. The latter do not.

The vision for Israel’s future restoration is upheld by and will find consummation through Jesus Christ.

There is a massive chasm between the two views. 

One is Biblical, the other is concocted by men. One is of the Spirit, the other is of the flesh. And if we claim to be Christians, we’d better see to it that we’re taking our cues from Holy Scripture. While we must absolutely call Israel to repentance and Gospel faith, for there is no other hope for them (or us!), it will not be well in the end for those who boast against the natural branches. -BA Purtle
