A teaching that has been around since the early church fathers.
Early Church Fathers like Justin Martyr (2nd century) and Irenaeus (2nd century) acknowledged distinctions between God’s dealings with Israel and the Church in their writings. They recognized that God had specific plans for both groups.
Jesus, Peter, John and Paul (1st century) disagree. They recognized that God has only one church, one bride, one peculiar people, one olive tree (with both Jew & Gentile) as branches!
Israel has been set aside for a "time":
Romans 11:25:
This verse in Romans 11:25 highlights a temporary period in which Israel has experienced a hardening, allowing for the inclusion of Gentiles. It speaks of a mystery concerning God's plan, indicating that this setting aside of Israel is temporary and coincides with the time of the Gentiles coming into God's redemptive plan.
Other verses that discuss similar concepts or themes of Gentiles being included in God's plan while Israel is temporarily set aside:
Luke 21:24:
Acts 13:46-47:
Romans 11:11-12:
These verses in Luke, Acts, and Romans collectively address the temporary shift in focus from Israel to the Gentiles in God's redemptive plan. They reflect the idea that Israel's partial hardening or setting aside allows for the inclusion of the Gentiles, serving a larger purpose in God's ultimate plan of redemption.
The followers of Jesus Christ don't follow the early church fathers.
Dispensationalism makes it's doctrine into what the church should be following, then they fight to keep their system king.............just like the OP says.
System bound.
It is painfully clear you are not familiar with the writings of the early Church Fathers - disciples of the Apostles.
You would do well to familiarize yourself with them.
Why?
I don't follow the early church fathers, I follow Jesus Christ by that Holy Spirit.
My faith is in the Holy Spirit and Scripture. I don't trust anyone's interpretation of scripture if the Holy Spirit doesn't confirm it.
We learn to judge as the Holy Spirit teaches us to judge.
