For Those With Ears to Hear

Yes.
God still has a plan for Israel.
But it’s not a geopolitical one.
It’s not about land.
It’s not about war.
It’s not about America’s foreign policy.

It’s about Jesus.

“For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring… This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise.”
— Romans 9:6–8

That verse alone dismantles half of modern evangelical theology.

We grew up hearing that Israel is God’s chosen nation,
and that the Church is just “hanging out” until God goes back to working with them.

But Paul says the true Israel isn’t about bloodline.
It’s about promise.
It’s always been about faith.

“If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”
— Galatians 3:29

In other words,
Jesus is the true Israelite.
And everyone who is in Him, Jew or Gentile, is part of the fulfillment of God’s promise.

So does God still care about ethnic Israel?
Yes! Paul had a burden for them too.

“Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.”
— Romans 10:1

But salvation doesn’t come through the Torah.
It doesn’t come through temple sacrifices.
And it doesn’t come through reclaiming land or rebuilding walls.

It comes through the Gospel.
The same Gospel for everyone.

“There is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him.”
— Romans 10:12

So yes, God still has a plan for Israel.
But not a separate one.
Not a side program.
Not a “to be continued” series of political events.

His plan for Israel is the same as His plan for you,
salvation through Jesus Christ.

“And in this way all Israel will be saved…”
— Romans 11:26

That doesn’t mean every person with Jewish blood.
It means the full number of God’s people, Jew and Gentile together, who are saved in Christ.

The promises made to Abraham?
Fulfilled in Christ.
The promises made through the prophets?
Fulfilled in Christ.
The kingdom they longed for?
Already inaugurated, and coming in full when He returns.

This is the plan.
It hasn’t changed.
And it hasn’t failed.

“For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him.”
— 2 Corinthians 1:20

So stop looking at maps.
Stop obsessing over headlines.
Stop treating modern Israel like a sacred object.

Start looking at Jesus.

Because God’s plan for Israel,
and for the whole world,
is Him.
