Ep. 1290: Is the Jewish Nation Really God’s Chosen People?

Theme Scripture: Jeremiah 31:33

Israel. Just say the name and likely if anyone listening follows anything about events on the world stage, they will have a strong opinion one way or another.

Biblically, there are thousands of years of history and events that keep Israel in the forefront of world events. From a Christian perspective, we know God had cast them off as a result of rejecting Jesus as their Messiah. So, what’s the story with that consequence?
