Message from Amir Tsarfati

I want you to know that God is not done with Israel. Israel is a miracle, and Israel is a picture of God’s faithfulness. And Israel is your insurance policy that God is faithful to His covenants. And if you do not follow Him today, time is short. I want to tell you something. The rapture can take place any minute, and I want you to know that today, today is the day of salvation. Not tomorrow. Don’t push it. Israel is a picture of God’s faithfulness. God wants to get your attention. He’s using His nation over there to tell you, “I love you in the same way I love Israel. Now you are My people. You who were once not My people are now My people.”

And I called you also from bondage to the freedom that we have in Christ, from darkness into His marvelous light. But you cannot find that light, unless you believe and put your faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross who came to die for you. He’s the king of Israel. He will come to save Israel, but He came two thousand years ago to save you.

Romans 11:16-18
For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.


This arboricultural metaphor is a beautiful reminder of the relationship between Jews and Christians. At the same time, it is catastrophic to the Replacement Theology heresy. Replacement Theologists hold that the root we are grafted into has been severed and is no longer representative of God’s chosen people, the Jews. Thus, the root is now the church. But that would mean the church is grafted into itself because no branch can survive with severed roots.

Romans 11:29-31
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.


While there are a multitude of takeaways we can glean from God’s ongoing relationship with the land and His chosen people, one of the most significant is that God is merciful. Another important reality is that if God is omniscient (knows everything), then what would be the purpose of choosing the Jews knowing He would later cast them off forever?

The only lesson we could learn from that belief is that God will choose you because He loves you at the time, but then will later stop loving you and reject you. It is also curious that many who believe the church has replaced Israel also believe in eternal security, that those chosen by God cannot be lost. Yet, they depart from that position when it comes to Israel. 

If we are going to learn anything about God from His relationship with the Jews it is this:

2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.


The Jews are back in the land today because God is faithful. They are also back in the land today because there is one last week of the 70 weeks prophesied in Daniel 9 which is yet to be fulfilled. Israel today is living proof that the entirety of God’s word is true!

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus
