J.D. Greear and Joel Rosenberg on Revelation and the Church/Inside the Epicenter Explores Biblical Promises and Modern Realities/Replacement Theology, Israel, and the ChurchWelcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, host Joel Rosenberg welcomes J.D. Greear, influential pastor and former Southern Baptist Convention president, to discuss whether God is finished with Israel and what that means for the church today. Together, they dive into the theological debate around replacement theology and explore how the Bible points to a future for ethnic Israel, especially through the lens of Revelation. J.D. shares his approach to teaching prophecy and the importance of loving both Israel and her neighbors, including Muslims, while Joel presses on how these beliefs shape ministry, missions, and compassion in a time of conflict. With practical insights for pastors, young evangelicals, and anyone wrestling with these big questions, this episode sheds fresh light on prophecy, mission, and the church’s role in blessing the Epicenter.

Biblical Covenants Part 1Big Idea: God establishes His kingdom through covenants, so live with proper covenant loyalty.1. The Adamic Covenant—Kingdom Purpose (Gen 1–2; 9:1–7)2. The Noahic Covenant—Kingdom Stability (Gen 9:8–17)3. The Abrahamic Covenant—Kingdom Land & Seed (Gen 15 & 17)
The Rosetta stone, discovered 1799: The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. Allowed us to unlock hieroglyphics Covenant is to scripture interpretation the same way. Should we follow the Law? Keep the Sabbath? God in the OT can seem very harsh, and in the NT He's all about love--has He changed? Does God cause evil or not? OT: Amos 3:6 “ shall there be evil in a city and the Lord has not done it?” and Isa 45:7 “I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do all these things”. NT: 1 John 1:5 “God is light and in him is no darkness at all”. John 10:10: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb 13:8), and “God is not a man that he should lie or the son of man that he should change his mind” (Num 23:19). The difference has to do with the covenants in place at the time. How did David have the courage to face Goliath? He knew His covenant (1 Sam 17:26, 36) circumcision was a sign of the Abrahamic covenant (Gen 17:10-14) which covered all Isaac's descendants (Gen 17:19). Included: God will bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants, and curse those who curse them (Gen 12:3) + "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways" (Deut 28:7) (Mosaic covenant in place by this time too) Jonathan and his armor-bearer knew the same promises applied (1 Sam 14:6). Covenant = Testament (Diatheke) Old and New Testament = Old and New Covenant New Covenant anticipated at the Last Supper (Luke 22:19-20), fulfilled by the cross (Hebrews 8:6-7). Gospels before this are still under the Old Covenant (Mosaic). Jesus 'didn’t come to destroy the law but fulfill it' (Matt 5:17) After the cross: Galatians 3:12: "the law is not of faith, being made a curse for us" Romans 4:7 “you died to the law” Gal 5:4: “Christ is become of no effect unto you; whosoever of you are justified by the law you are fallen from grace.” Paul’s anger in Galatians 5:12 against those who insisted that circumcision (part of the Abrahamic covenant) should continue for Christians--if used as a tool for justification Rom 3:31 “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Israel's Role in Biblical Covenants and the New Covenant. Recognition that within the congregation a...
How many of you have heard that God has promised the Jewish people a Land, the Land of Israel, in perpetuity? We talked about this last time but a brief review might be helpful. It's in the Bible, in a covenant that God made with Abraham when he was still Abram:Genesis 15:18–21 NIV18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”Folks, this Land is not just a piece of real estate. It is part and parcel of a series of promises that God made to the Jewish people thousands of years ago. The fulfillment of these promises has not been completed yet. The final completion is yet future. But how is it that through a theological sleight of hand some Christians have tried to subvert or nullify these promises? It has happened through something called Covenant Theology. Covenant Theology is not Biblical. That does not mean that every Covenant Theologian who has ever lived was or is an antisemite; far from it. But Covenant Theology, because it is not Biblical, lays the groundwork for false teachings about the Jewish people and consequently for antisemitism and replacement theology and we are seeing this use of Covenant Theology more and more.What is Covenant Theology? It began after the Reformation, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is a teaching that says that the entire Bible, from right after The Fall of Man, comes under one Covenant, the Covenant of Grace. This Covenant of Grace, which is nowhere explicitly mentioned or taught in the Bible, subsumes or overarches all other Biblical Covenants that follow the Fall of Man. These are clearly mentioned in the Bible and include four unconditional covenants (the Abrahamic Covenant, the Promised Land Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant) and one conditional covenant (the Mosaic Covenant). If you try to find a clear and easy to understand definition of the Covenant of Grace in the writings of Covenant Theologians I believe you will have great difficulty in doing so. That is because there is no Covenant of Grace in the Bible. The grace of God is in the Bible in abundance in both the Old and New Testaments but there is no Covenant of Grace. But because Covenant Theology is not Biblical, certain false doctrines based on Covenant Theology have come into being over the centuries. Let me give you one major example today. We'll start by looking at some New Testament Scriptures that talk about Abraham.Romans 4:11–12 NIV11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.And:Galatians 3:7 NIV7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.These New Testament verses are telling us that Abraham is the father of all who believe in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus) whether they are circumcised or uncircumcised (in other words all those who are born again, whether Jew or Gentile). The Gentile believers are obviously spiritual and not physical children of Abraham.Because Covenant Theology teaches that there is one Covenant of Grace that runs from Genesis 3:15 to the end of Revelation 22, that allows Covenant Theologians to use Romans 4:11-12 to over-ride Genesis 15:18 and to make it read like this:Genesis 15:18 “18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants the Church I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—”That is what I would call theological slight of hand and I don't think the motivation for that is good. I believe that it comes straight from the Father of Lies, the Devil.Remember folks, the Bible does not contradict itself. If God made an unconditional covenant with Abraham, He is not going to nullify that later. In fact, listen to what the Apostle Paul says:Galatians 3:17 NIV17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.In other words the Mosaic Covenant does not make void the Abrahamic Covenant, nor does the Covenant of Grace because the Covenant of Grace does not exist. And Covenant Theology is bogus.Next time we'll talk about other distortions of the Scriptures that some Covenant Theologians attempt to create in an attempt to nullify God's promises to Israel.Thanks for listening folks.This is Art Wolinsky.

Explore the profound connections between modern Israel and ancient biblical prophecy in this insightful video, the first in a series called "Bible Prophecy 101" by Christine Darg. Delve into the theological study of Israelology, the role of Israel in God's plan, and the significance of Israel's covenant relationship. Discover the historical and prophetic context of Israel's regathering and national salvation, and understand the importance of standing against anti-Semitism. This educational series offers a comprehensive look at Israel's role in eschatology and the fulfillment of biblical covenants.
We review the major biblical covenants that shape the grand narrative of Scripture. We explore the Noahic Covenant, where God promises never to flood the earth again; the Abrahamic Covenant, with its promises of land, seed, and blessing; the Sinai Covenant, establishing Israel's legal and moral system; and the Davidic Covenant, promising an everlasting kingdom. These covenants are crucial in understanding God's plan for salvation and His faithfulness throughout history. We discuss how these promises intertwine and point towards the coming of a Savior.

The day is coming when all Israel will bend the knee to the Good Shepherd, the King of kings, the King of the Jews! This is the plain teaching of Scripture. This isn't Zionist or Dispensationalist propaganda. John Calvin, Matthew Henry, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, J.C. Ryle, and a great cloud of Bible believing, prophecy believing, Biblical Covenant believing saints have faithfully declared this certain truth...the truth that Zechariah 12-13 makes abundantly clear. God will fulfill His prophecies and uphold His covenant with Israel as a nation. Jews and Gentiles will be united under the blood of the Lamb! "I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.'" -Zech. 13:9
In part four of our series on biblical covenants, Blake explains how the New Covenant fulfilled and reimagined every part of the Old Covenant. In teaching what Scripture says about the New Covenant, he also debunks the most popular heresy in the Evangelical Church about the New Covenant: that it is somehow incomplete and not yet fully realized (dispensationalism). Biblical Covenants, Part 4. That You May Know Him, Episode 265.
In part three of our series on biblical covenants, Blake deep-dives into the Davidic Covenant and shares how it foreshadows Jesus and the New Covenant. In this series, we seek to answer questions like these: What is the nature of a covenant? What do covenants entail? Can covenants be broken? Biblical Covenants, Part 3. That You May Know Him, Episode 263.
When the fullness of the gentiles have come in ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED! The Messiah, Jesus Christ, is coming again. The Day of the Lord is coming! All prophecy will be fulfilled! All Biblical Covenants will be kept! The King of kings and Lord of lords will will crush His enemies, Jew and gentile alike. Christ will conquer the world and rule in Zion. All Israel will be saved and a great many gentiles too! Israel's entire population is less than 10 million souls. There are less than 16 million Jews on the entire planet. Israel and the Jews are NOT attempting to conquer the world. Israel and the Jews are NOT secretly ruling America! That is absurd anti-Israel, anti-Jew propaganda. Israel and the Jews are NOT the pernicious parasitic evil on the planet responsible for every evil (porn, homosexuality, child trafficking, etc.). Israel and the Jews are NOT responsible for the evil of Islamic jihad. Those are absurd, often repeated, anti-Israel, anti-Jew lies. When your favorite "reformed" podcaster, YouTube guru, or preacher is aligned more with Adolf Hitler and Hamas regarding Israel and the Jews than Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul, and the Great Commission…you need to find a new favorite. When your Covenant theology cancels God's Biblical New Covenant promises and perverts them you need to cancel your anti-Covenant Theology and embrace Biblical Covenant Theology. This isn't what is now popularly called "evil Zionism," it's just what the Bible clearly says. Don't dismiss me as an "evil Dispensationalist." I'm a Bible believing Christian who really wanted to be in the cool Covenant Theology club, but couldn't bring myself to cancel God's Biblical Covenants. Here I stand.
In part two of our series on biblical covenants, Blake dives into the Mosaic and Davidic Covenants. In this series, we seek to answer questions like these: What is the nature of a covenant? What do covenants entail? Can covenants be broken? Biblical Covenants, Part 2. That You May Know Him, Episode 262.
Blake begins a three-episode overview of biblical covenants by deep-diving into the first two covenants found in Scripture: the Noahic Covenant and the Abrahamic Covenant.

In this bonus episode, we interview Dr. David VanDrunen. We consider his reply on several points to Pastor Taylor Drummond's critical article that we discuss in episode 17. The title of that article is "Fool's Gold?: A libertarian analysis of VanDrunen's account of state legitimacy" and it examines particular arguments in David VanDrunen's book Politics After Christendom.VanDrunen expresses his appreciation for Drummond's article and our episode discussing it, raises questions concerning immoral complicity if the state is taken to be illegitimate, offers some clarification about his (up to this point) not having differentiated monopoly states from non-monopolistic civil governance in his writing, raises questions concerning what sort of consent is normative for the customary legal order's own legitimacy and its authorizing function, raises the question of when abuse or injustice might categorically disqualify one from rightfully possessing authoritative office and its relation to political resistance, and, at the end, responds to our proposal how a fuller, non-aggressionist view of proportionality in the lex talionis of the Noahic Covenant entails a conclusive argument in favor of the exclusively "protectionist" purpose of civil governance law. https://reformedlibertarians.com/bonusCMain Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:09 Episode description02:15 Prefatory statements05:37 The question of immoral complicity16:30 Clarifying matters of complicity21:13 The question of civil governance vs. monopoly state27:55 Distinguishing normativity from de facto (non-)conformity to norms31:00 The question of legitimizing consent35:56 Distinguishing compliance under duress (by aggression)40:45 The question of abuse/tyranny and de-legitimization45:20 The question of a conclusive protectionist-only view49:32 Remaining uncertainty about Scriptural “regulative principle” for civil governance52:29 Closing remarksAdditional ResourcesAbout David VanDrunenhttps://www.wscal.edu/faculty-member/david-vandrunen/ – author page at Mongerismhttps://www.monergism.com/authorsspeakers/david-vandrunen – bib at ResearchGatehttps://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/David-VanDrunen-2115184386 Episode 17: David VanDrunen's View Of Civil Government, with Taylor Drummondhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/017 “Fool's Gold?: A libertarian analysis of VanDrunen's account of state legitimacy,” by Taylor Drummondhttps://libertarianchristians.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/CLR-5-Drummond.pdfPolitics After Christendom by David VanDrunenhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/0310108845/ “The Protectionist Purpose of Law: A Moral Case from the Biblical Covenant with Noah,” by David VanDrunenhttps://www.pdcnet.org/jsce/content/jsce_2015_0035_0002_0101_0117 Episode 2: What Does Romans 13 Say About Civil Government?https://reformedlibertarians.com/002 Episode 8: The Boetie Option - the peaceful underthrow of the statehttps://reformedlibertarians.com/008 Episode 14: Does Political Representation Make Sense?, with Gerard Caseyhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/014 Episode 15: Can Christian Civil Government Be Theocratic?https://reformedlibertarians.com/015 Episode 18: Politics And The Church's Mission: What Should The Church Teach About Civil Government? https://reformedlibertarians.com/018 Audio of Answering 10 Objections to Libertarian Anarchism by Roderick Longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsUjJ7TOhgk&list=PLwrDNUO5MDu8WYU5oB7l037lvAEjSoPBr&index=13 The Reformed Libertarians Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute: https://libertarianchristians.com and a member of the Christians for Liberty Network: https://christiansforliberty.netAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
