What Are We to Make of IsraelSteve Gregg
Renowned theologian Steve Gregg explores the intricate implications of certain passages in relation to the future of Israel. He examines multiple biblical verses that employ the word "until," suggesting a temporary rather than permanent curse on Jerusalem. Gregg argues that God has not forsaken the Jewish people, and their rejection of Christ has allowed Gentiles to partake in the riches of salvation. While the precise nature of Israel's future acceptance remains unclear, Gregg proposes that their beloved status with God implies a potential turning back to Him. Ultimately, he emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful and leaving the mystery of God's plan in His hands.
