In this second part of the House of David podcast, Pastor Eric and his sister Gabi, continue exploring the theological question of whether God is done with Israel, emphasizing the distinction between individual and national salvation. Pastor Eric explains that while individual Jews, like all people, must accept Christ for salvation, God’s covenant with Israel as a nation remains intact. Biblical prophecy foretells the regathering and restoration of Israel, which began with the Zionist movement and continues today. Gabi and Eric cite scripture to demonstrate that Israel’s return to the land precedes its national salvation, which will occur when Christ returns. They also highlight the historical role of Christian Zionists in supporting Jewish Aliyah and the establishment of the modern State of Israel, reinforcing the belief that God's promises to Israel are still being fulfilled.
