It is hilarious and disheartening all the same time when I hear a certain camp of premillennialist accuse other believers of being anti-Semitic just because they do not hold to their brand of eschatology. Really. Most believers that I know that do not hold to their view are not anti any kind of people. In fact there is a very clear New Testament teaching that God is no respecter of persons. All and any people may come to Christ and in Christ, we are one, there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. This is not anti-Jew, not anti-Arab, not anti anything. It is a false straw man that is set up just because we dont believe the same as they do If anything they often come off as not following New Testament teaching. They seem like a respecter of persons. They seem to talk like their is a distinction. They seem to talk like the Jewish people are the apple of Gods eye, that the Jewish people are Gods people and that Christians are not, or that they are somehow second class citizens. So, when we quote the Bible and say, where there once was two, God has made one or all are one in Christ Jesus, heirs according to the promise - Abrahams offspring ... We are called replacement theologians and anti-Semitic ... really, seriously ... That is not replacement anything ... That is Bible. I say quit replacing New Testament revelation with Old Testament shadows and ideologies. And if I am understanding you wrong. I apologize. But quit making false accusations to other believers just because their view of prophecy is not the same as yours. Use Bible, not name calling and pray it will be a Gospel centered, Mission minded, Christ exalting interpretation. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20a) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise. (Galatians 3:28-29) This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. (Romans 9:8) remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:12-16, 18-22) This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, (Ephesians 3:6, 9-11)
