state God will restore the nation of Israel. It is indefensible claim that Israel is the church, and to suggest that somehow the Church is capable of being lost. That is what is required by forcing the identity of Israel upon the Church. Israel is not the church in Romans 11. Not in any sense of the word. And you cannot interpret any other passage of scripture to be in conflict with what is clearly stated in Romans 11. It is a false claim, heresy.
God says "He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."
He will restore Israel. This is God's covenant with Abraham. In him all the nations will be blessed. Do you understand the nature of a covenant relationship? It doesn't end by breach. God Himself will fulfill the terms of the covenant relationship.
Neither Jew nor Gentile has to do with the church, not the physical nation of Israel, and you cannot superimpose that phrase on the nation of Israel. Christ will sit on the throne of David. What is the point of saying He will sit upon the throne of David, if there is no physical Israel?
And what about the 70 weeks? The 70 weeks cannot be completed unless physical Israel is restored, which according to Romans 11, is going to happen.
