Overview

Does 'Forever' mean 'Forever' in God's promises to the Jews? Every promise and prophecy given to Israel is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. That's how Jeffrey Meyers answers questions about all of God's promises to Israel in the Old Testament, whether regarding God's covenant with Israel or the promised land of Palestine. Meyers' book seeks to show how the Bible itself answers the ""problem"" of Israel and the land of Palestine, and why the modern nation-state of Israel is not the ""chosen people"" of God. By emphasizing the fulfillment of promises to Israel in Jesus Christ, the Bible also avoids spiritualizing the promises to Israel as though to claim the Church is the ""true"" or ""spiritual"" Israel. Rather, because Jesus inherited all the world (including Palestine) as His possession, the world belongs to Him and His chosen people-the Church-forever. The ""Answers in an Hour"" series is an ongoing collection of short and easily digestible books written with the inquirer in mind. These little books provide brief studies of various topics of interest to Christians who seek instruction that is grounded in biblical theology.
