I’ve wanted to talk about this for a long time. It’s a question I get asked again and again: How should we as believers in Jesus Christ think about the Jewish people and the modern state of Israel? Are they biblically significant? Is modern Israel the same as biblical Israel? There’s a lot of confusion about this today, even among Christians. So I want to use the Bible to answer this question. In Romans 9:4–5, notice the verbs are in the present tense—these blessings still belong to Israel today. The adoption, the glory, the covenants, the promises—these are still Israel’s inheritance. Romans 11:28–29 says they’re beloved for the sake of the fathers, and ‘the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.’ The word “Israel” occurs 73 times in the New Testament, and in every case it refers to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—never the church. A lot of people want to spiritualize the word Israel and say the church is the “new Israel,” but that’s not what Scripture teaches. And here’s a personal application from Dr. Michael Rydelnik’s book: Just as God will keep His promises to the Jewish people, He will keep every promise to us. We serve a God who is faithful and true.

The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed
This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God’s prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What’s particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel’s restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.
The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ’s Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God’s unfolding plan.
