Alexander Campbell on the Role of Israel: Past, Present, and Future.
This link downloads a paper I wrote in 2018 for the Stone-Campbell Conference at Johnson University in April, 2018.
The title of the paper is: “God has not kept [the Jews] these many years for nothing”:[1] Alexander Campbell on Israel, the Church, and Eschatology
The quote that heads the paper is:
“The unbelieving Jews were rejected and repudiated as the visible and formal people of God; and the believing Jews and Gentiles, harmonized and united, constituted the visible earthly people and kingdom of Jesus the Christ. Still, the unbelieving Jews exist as a monumental people; and, though no longer the depositories of the Oracles of God, they are, in their present position, the subject of special prophecy and of special promise.”[2]
