“Every promise in the Book is mine, every chapter, every verse, every line.” That’s a cute children’s song…and a description of what’s called “Replacement Theology” (where we take Israel’s place in the plan of God) but it’s not accurate. Every promise in the Bible does not belong to us as God’s children living in the age of the church. We have no claim to the promise of a land of possession, or a royal dynasty. We have no claim to the promises made to Joshua that God would drive out the inhabitants of Canaan. We have no claim to the promise made by God to the children of Israel that their shoes and clothes would not wear out. Those were specific promises made to specific people…who are not church age believers. But we have been given other “exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (II Pet. 1:4) Do you know Christ? You won’t get to sit on David’s throne, but you have received a new nature and escaped the doomed, corrupt world system and the end of everyone enmeshed in that system, which eternal separation from God.
