Is God finished with Israel or will He deal with them again?

God is not finished with Israel. Though He has set them aside and blinded them in unbelief, Scripture declares He has not cast away His people. Romans 11 shows God will come back and finish His dealings with His covenant people, fulfilling the covenant promises the Old Testament foretold.

Les teaches that while about 90% of Christendom says God is all through with the Jew, because they crucified their Messiah and were called Christ killers and persecuted unmercifully in the name of religion, that conclusion is wrong. God's not through with the Jew. He has set them aside, absolutely, and blinded them, but Romans 11 shows God is still going to come back and finish His dealing with His covenant people, which all the Old Testament taught. Ezekiel 37, Deuteronomy 29, Zechariah, and all of them foretold the day when God would yet fulfill these covenant promises with His chosen people. Tonight they are out in blindness and unbelief, but God hath not cast away His people, and Les says he cannot emphasize that enough. Paul confirms it by saying he himself is an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin, and Les notes it is striking that the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to emphasize his tribal background both times he speaks of it.

Romans 11:1

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
