Does the Bible Support Replacement Theology?
One text often used by supersessionists to support the idea of the permanent rejection of national Israel is Matt 21:43. In this verse, which Frederick Dale Bruner calls “one of the most important verses in Matthew,” Jesus addressed the unbelief of the leaders of the nation Israel and announced his rejection of them because of their stubborn unbelief. But in the very same book, Jesus also reaffirms and strongly hints at a glorious future for Israel. |
