I. Introduction

The role of Israel in God’s redemptive plan is a central, enduring theme throughout Scripture. Far from being sidelined or replaced, Israel remains the focal point of God’s covenantal dealings with humanity, particularly in the unfolding drama of the last days. This narrative we’ll be exploring seeks to trace the theological arc from the Abrahamic Covenant to the eschatological regathering of Israel, engaging with both biblical text (ESV) and scholarly analysis to argue that Israel is not merely a shadow in salvific history but the very axis upon which prophetic fulfillment turns.
