Israel and the Church: One Chosen People, or Two? Romans 11 Fulfilled, Covenant Theology and Faith

In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob republishes his appearance on The Libertarian Christian Podcast with host Cody Cook and fellow guest Chris Todd, a missionary and trauma therapist based in the Middle East. The conversation begins with Chris sharing firsthand accounts of working with war-torn communities in Lebanon and Syria, offering insight into the human side of conflict and the deep wounds left by war, displacement, and oppression. These personal stories set the stage for a broader discussion on how Christians should understand the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of faith, justice, and compassion.

The dialogue then turns toward theology, examining how covenant theology provides a Christ-centered framework for understanding God’s promises in contrast to dispensationalist approaches. Jacob explains how the covenants throughout Scripture point toward fulfillment in Christ, while Chris highlights how misreadings of Scripture often distort political support for the modern state of Israel. Together, the panel unpacks how theology shapes Christian engagement with issues of war, nationalism, and antisemitism, calling believers back to the peace of Christ as the true hope for both Israelis and Palestinians.

37:10 is the timestamp for the beginning of the theology conversation
