No — God has set Israel aside temporarily but is not finished with them.
Les Feldick teaches that the nation of Israel rejected their Messiah and has been set aside in partial blindness and discipline. Yet God remains faithful to His covenant promises and will one day return to complete His dealing with the Jewish people, fulfilling every promise made to the patriarchs.
Romans 11:1 — Paul explicitly asks whether God has cast away His people and answers with 'God forbid.'
Jeremiah 31:35-36 — God compares the permanence of Israel as a nation to the fixed order of creation, showing He will not cast them off.
Romans 11:1 records the Apostle Paul's question: 'I say then, Hath God cast away his people?' and immediately answers, 'God forbid.' In Acts 3:17, Peter tells the men of Israel, 'And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers,' showing the nation acted in ignorance when they rejected their Messiah. Jeremiah 31:35-36 declares that just as the sun, moon, and sea obey God's fixed ordinances, so the seed of Israel will never cease being a nation before Him: 'If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.'
Les Feldick is emphatic that God is not through with the Jewish people. He notes that 90% of Christendom would say God has cast away Israel because they crucified their Messiah, and many have called them 'Christ killers' and persecuted them. But Les responds, 'God's not through with the Jew.' He has set them aside and blinded them, but Romans 11 teaches that God will come back and finish His dealing with His covenant people, as the Old Testament foretold. Les explains that Israel's rejection of the Messiah brought discipline, not final rejection. The Roman army under Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, and the Jewish people went into a long dispersion marked by catastrophe, the ghettos, and the Holocaust. Yet God promised from the start that He would not give up on them. In the last generation, Israel has returned to the land and became a sovereign state in 1948, preparing for prophetic fulfillment. Les also emphasizes that Israel is still God's covenant people even though they are currently in unbelief and spiritual blindness. Their present government is as secular as any other nation, but God still has His eye on them. He will one day pick up where He left off and fulfill every covenant promise made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 is yet future; Israel will one day enjoy it along with a glorious earthly kingdom.
Les Feldick explains that 90% of Christendom believes God is through with the Jew because they crucified their Messiah. Down through the centuries many Catholics and Protestants have called the Jews 'Christ killers' and persecuted them, concluding that God has turned to the church and set Israel aside. But Les insists this is a false conclusion—God has not discarded His covenant people.
Les teaches that God disciplined Israel rather than abandoning them. He brought in the Roman army under Titus, which destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, and the Jewish people went into a dispersion that lasted nearly two thousand years. They suffered catastrophe after catastrophe, including the ghettos and the Holocaust, because they rejected all the promises. Yet in our generation, beginning in the early 1900s and especially with the sovereign state of Israel in 1948, they have come back to the land, setting the stage for prophetic fulfillment.
Les emphasizes that God is not through with Israel. They are still His covenant people, though currently blinded and in unbelief. He will one day pick up where He left off and fulfill all the covenant promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 is yet future and will be enjoyed by the nation of Israel. For now, the Israeli government is as secular as any other, but God still has His eye on them.
Discipline, Not Abandonment
Les explains that Israel's national rejection of the Messiah led to discipline—including the Roman destruction under Titus—but God has not turned His back on them forever; they are set aside for 2,000 years, not destroyed.
God Has Not Cast Away Israel
Les answers the question directly: God has not cast away His people. He has set them aside and blinded them, but Romans 11 promises God will return and finish His dealing with His covenant people.
Covenant Promises Will Be Kept
Les says God is not through with the Jew; they have suffered for rejecting the Messiah, but He will still come back and keep His covenant promises with them as a nation.
Israel's Future Glory
Les insists Israel will still enjoy all covenant promises and a glorious earthly kingdom. Their present unbelief and secular government do not mean God is through with them.
God Will Return to Israel
Les says most of Christendom wrongly believes God has set Israel aside forever, but the Bible is adamant that God will bring them back and pick up where He left off with His covenant people.
Suffering and a Promise
Les explains that Israel's loss of temple, land, and dispersion—through the ghettos and Holocaust—was a result of rejecting the Messiah, yet God promised from day one that He would not give up on them.
Israel's Return in Our Generation
Les shows that after Israel's rejection, God set them aside and the Roman armies destroyed Jerusalem; the dispersion lasted until the early 1900s, and in 1948 Israel became a sovereign state, preparing for prophecy.
The Final Covenant for Israel
Les says Israel is still God's covenant people even though set aside and blinded. The final covenant Jeremiah 31 describes is still future and Israel will one day enjoy 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.
Les quotes this verse to answer the question directly: God has not cast away His people.
Acts 3:17: And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
Peter acknowledges Israel acted in ignorance, which Les notes as part of the nation's rejection of the Messiah.
Jeremiah 31:35-36: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
This verse ties the permanence of Israel as a nation to the fixed ordinances of creation, showing God will never cast them off.
No. Les Feldick explains that God has set Israel aside in discipline and blindness, but He will come back and fulfill His covenant promises. Paul's question in Romans 11:1—'Hath God cast away his people?'—is answered with 'God forbid.'
Les Feldick teaches that Israel's suffering, including the destruction of the temple, dispersion, ghettos, and Holocaust, is the discipline God brought upon them for rejecting their Messiah. Yet God has promised from the start that He would not give up on them and would one day restore them.
Les Feldick says that 90% of Christendom believes God is all through with the Jew, but this is contrary to Scripture. God has set Israel aside temporarily while He deals with the church, but He will one day return to Israel and fulfill all the promises made to their forefathers.
