If You Watch Only One Video, Make It This. (So Important, We Included an Outline.)

June 26th, 2025

If you have time to listen to only one video, please make it this one.

With vile antisemitism breaking out in highly sophisticated forms (Examples of bizarre claims include: “the present day Jews are not the Jews of the Bible,” “God’s covenant is not with the Jews anymore,” “the modern post-1948 Israel is not the Israel of the Bible,” “the church has replaced Israel in the Bible,” “since the Jews rejected Jesus, the covenant does not apply to them anymore” – and other outlandish, irrational and anti-scriptural claims) almost daily, spewed by people like Candace Owens (who seems to hate Jews), Tucker Carlson (a man of remarkable ability, but who has been totally duped on this issue), and even some other well know figures, it is time to set the record straight with basic biblical truths.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki

It is worth every second to listen to this 47 minute video of Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, an orthodox Jew, a very close friend, and a brilliant scholar of the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures). And I might add, he has a significant grasp of the New Testament as well. Listen here:
WPN Call 459.

Who is Pesach Wolicki? He is a thinker, public speaker, writer, and pro-Israel activist. He formerly was the Associate Director of the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation. Pesach has been a columnist for The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, Charisma News, and Breaking News Israel. He is a highly respected and trusted leader in Jewish-Christian relations.

This topic is so important. Unless we get this right, the Jews could unthinkably someday suffer another Hitler-like holocaust, or at least face even worse severe persecution. It is shocking how much Jew-hatred there is. What is most offensive is that it actually exists among so-called “Christians.” This is odious to God. And it ought to be to every serious follower of Jesus.

We have taken the unusual steps to provide you an actual outline of Pesach Wolicki’s talk here:

Executive Summary: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki on Replacement Theology and Modern Israel
Rabbi Pesach Wolicki delivers a powerful refutation of the modern resurgence of replacement theology, particularly the new claim that the Jewish people of today are not the true descendants of biblical Israel.

He explains how traditional Christian supersessionism historically taught that Jews remained ethnically Jewish but had forfeited their covenant with God. However, in recent years, some have gone further, asserting that the modern Jewish people are not related to the biblical Israelites at all.
Wolicki argues this view is both theologically unsound and historically inaccurate.

He uses biblical texts—especially Psalm 83 and Deuteronomy 29–30—to show that the rejection of Israel as God's people was foretold as a mistake nations would make in the end times. He underscores that the modern State of Israel, the return of Jews to their ancestral land, and their national prosperity represent the fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecies.

Citing both scripture and ancient rabbinic sources, Wolicki emphasizes that those who cling to replacement theology today must ignore not only the evidence of history but also the promises of God as revealed in the Bible. He argues that the denial of Israel's divine restoration is not a theological stance—it is a rejection of God’s faithfulness.

Outline of Rabbi Pesach Wolicki’s Teaching
1) Opening and Framing the Issue

Responds to claims that Genesis 12:3 does not apply to modern Israel.
Uses Ecclesiastes 3 to emphasize the importance of discerning whether it is a time for war or peace.
Notes Psalm 83 as a scriptural mirror of current hostility against Israel.

2) The Evolution of Replacement Theology

Classical replacement theology (e.g., Augustine and Luther) taught that Jews remained Jews but lost their covenant.
The modern variant denies that the Jewish people today are the same as biblical Israel—a claim never made before the 20th century.
This denial arises because modern Israel’s rebirth proves that God's covenant is still active.

3) Biblical Refutation: Deuteronomy 29 and 30

Deuteronomy 29 describes a future time when people will see a desolate Israel and wrongly conclude that Jews lost their covenant.
This passage is followed by Deuteronomy 30, which promises that Israel will return from exile and become more numerous and prosperous than before.
Together, these chapters foretell and refute the reasoning behind replacement theology.

4) Historical Continuity of the Jewish People

Wolicki points to an unbroken chain of Jewish tradition from biblical times to today.
Jewish texts, rabbinic teachings, and recorded lineages confirm uninterrupted identity and heritage.
Asks: If modern Jews are not the real Jews, when and where did the supposed break in identity occur?

5) Theological and Moral Implications

Replacement theology today requires believing that God breaks eternal promises, which undermines all of God's covenants.
Suggests that if God’s promises to Israel were revoked, Christians have no assurance of God’s promises to them.
Concludes that clinging to replacement theology now is no longer rational but rooted in ideological opposition to Israel.

6) Ancient Rabbinic Prophecy and Current Geopolitics

Cites a 1,500-year-old Midrash predicting a final conflict involving Persia (Iran) and world upheaval before the Messiah comes.
Refers to Talmudic predictions naming Rome (the West) and Persia as central players in the end-times.
Remarkably, the daily Talmud study page discussing Persia’s fall coincided with Israel's successful military actions against Iran.

7) Final Reflections and Call to Action

Emphasizes the global theological battle over whether God keeps His promises and whether Israel is still God’s chosen nation.
Warns that denying Israel’s restoration is equivalent to erasing the Jewish people from history and theology.
Encourages prayer, vigilance, and support for Israel as a fulfillment of divine prophecy and evidence of God's covenantal faithfulness.

I know this is a very serious topic, but may we share a bit a humor? The above outline was produced primarily by AI. Candidly, I am not very trusting of AI, so one of our team members, named Allen Ingram, went through it and made minor corrections. It was then that we realized that his initials were also – you guessed it – AI. So this document was produced by AI (a machine) but was corrected by AI (a person)!
