Is Modern Israel Biblical Israel? Responding to Sean McDowell & Carmen Imes

In a recent conversation with Sean McDowell, Dr. Carmen Imes argued that modern Israel should not automatically be viewed as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. In this response, Dr. Seth Postell and Researcher/Lecturer Eli Haitov engage that claim respectfully while challenging some of its key assumptions. They discuss whether Israel must first be faithful before returning to the land, how Zechariah’s prophecies assume a future national turning to Messiah, and why Paul says the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.

If God’s promises to Israel still stand, then the question is not only what we think about Israel — but what we believe about God’s faithfulness.

🇮🇱 Stand with Israel! Bless Israel and be part of what God is doing by becoming One for Israel.
