For centuries, a single line from Paul’s letter to the Romans - “not all Israel is Israel” - has been used to rewrite the story of God’s faithfulness.
But was Paul really declaring that the Church replaced Israel? Or was he weeping over his people, trusting that God’s promises still stand?
This episode takes a deep look into Romans 9–11 and Galatians 6, unpacking what Paul meant by “the Israel of God” and how a single mistranslated conjunction has shaped two millennia of confusion.
We’ll explore the grief behind Paul’s words, the endurance of God’s covenants, and the modern drift that has led Christians to read prophecy as poetry and Israel’s story as metaphor.
As anti-Semitism rises and theology grows foggy, it’s time to recover what the Apostle Paul never meant to erase: that Israel’s unbelief doesn’t cancel God’s faithfulness - it magnifies it.
God’s promises to Israel were never revoked - they’re being fulfilled before our eyes. The story of redemption still runs through Jerusalem. Don’t just listen - learn to read Scripture the way Paul wrote it: with tears in your eyes and hope in your heart.
