Part 4 of The Church and the Restoration of Israel explores God's covenantal relationship with Israel and its theological and eschatological implications for the church. Central to this doctrine is the belief that Israel, as God's "firstborn son" (Amos 3:2), plays a unique and enduring role in God’s Kingdom plan. While the church and Israel have distinct roles, they are intertwined in God's redemptive narrative. The doctrine challenges Replacement Theology, affirming that Israel retains its prophetic destiny and is not replaced by the church. Historical milestones, such as the Zionist movement, the Balfour Declaration, and the reestablishment of Israel in 1948, are seen as fulfillments of biblical prophecy. Theologically, the church is called to provoke Israel to salvation (Romans 11:11) and partner in its physical and spiritual restoration (Isaiah 61:4-5). The final restoration of Israel includes the gathering of Jewish exiles from all nations (Isaiah 11:11-12) and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom in Jerusalem (Micah 5:3). Ultimately, God’s covenant with Israel remains irrevocable, and the church is called to recognize and support His ongoing plan for Israel’s restoration and the unification of believing Jews and Gentiles in His eternal Kingdom.
Pastor Mark Biltz: The Solar Eclipse and its prophetic meaning for the US
While scientists claim to control nature, celestial events like eclipses are well outside the purview of scientists. A solar eclipse in April will transverse North America in April and some Biblical experts are revealing a deeper understanding of the event than secular scientists, leaving them powerless, like Pharaoh’s magicians. With a deep understanding of classical Jewish and Christian sources, Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries lends insights into the upcoming eclipse.
Does America Have A Role In The Prophetic Battle Of Gog-Magog?
This article is written from the teachings on the 3-Disc DVD entitled, Ezekiel 38: When God Defends Israel, the Coming Russian-Iranian Led Invasion of the Promised Land.
The DVD unpacks Ezekiel 38:13 to unmask the mysterious modern-day identities of ancient Tarshish and their young lions, or "villages" in some translations.
Additionally, it examines their specific roles within the prophecy. If Tarshish is the UK and the young lions are partially represented by the USA, then the ramifications for the future of America are staggering!
A Letter to the Church
It is with great urgency that we write you about a mandate that our ministry has received from the Lord to partner with others and mobilize the American Church to pray for Israel. The Lord has been revealing for some time now that a very difficult season is falling upon them.
