Publisher's Synopsis
One's perception of the nation of Israel as a historic and political entity, as relating to Israel's role in God's dealings with and plans for mankind, will greatly affect his understanding of some of the most important biblical revelation of truth. In this book, the author examines specific scriptural evidence that is pertinent, even crucially necessary for an accurate understanding of the Israel of God and the children of promise. Pursuit of this topic necessitated looking into such subjects as God's redemptive covenants, the parables of Jesus concerning the kingdom of heaven, the metaphors of the olive tree and the Vine and the branches, and theological systems that certainly contain misconstructions of doctrine involving physical and spiritual Israel. In view of this, several articles by Dr. Anderson have been appended as useful additional resources for the reader's more complete understanding of truth as the Bible presents it, and not construed to fit any man-made theological system of belief.
