Replacement theology (supersessionism) is a very common teaching in Christian churches today. Maybe your church even teaches this idea without you even knowing! It suggests that the Christian Church has replaced Israel as the new chosen people of God, rendering the promises made to Israel null and void. According to the theology, the Jewish people are no longer God's chosen people, and He has no future plans for Israel. Instead, the Church has actually become Spiritual Israel and receives their promises instead! It's frustrating to argue against replacement theology because to me, Romans 11 makes it theologically impossible .

All who try to lift it will hurt themselves, and all the earth’s nations will be massed against her. When that day comes,” says Adonai , “I will strike all the horses with panic and their riders with madness; I will keep watch over Y’hudah, but I will strike blind all the horses of the peoples. The leaders of Y’hudah will say to themselves, ‘Those living in Yerushalayim are my strength through Adonai-Tzva’ot their God.’ When that day comes, I will make the leaders of Y’hudah like a blazing fire ...
