Many Christians assume Israel's only purpose as His chosen people was to bring the Messiah into the world. But is that what the Bible actually teaches?
In this video, Dr. Peter Goeman examines a section from an article by Michael Vlach to show that God's election of Israel had—and still has—a much broader purpose. From blessing the nations (Genesis 12; Psalm 67) to bringing the Scriptures, the Messiah, and ultimately serving as the center of Christ's future kingdom, Israel plays a unique role in God's redemptive plan. The video also addresses the common objection that modern Israel's unbelief somehow nullifies God's promises.
