Have you encountered the false, evil doctrine of "replacement theology"?  Shockingly, it is still being proclaimed in some Christian churches and denominations, just as in most Muslim mosques in the Middle East.

"Replacement theology" says that Israel no longer has a place in God's plan and has been "replaced" by the church.

A simple reading of Scripture reveals that both the church and Israel have a vital role in God's plan.  For example, Romans 11:25-28:

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,

And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

        For this is My covenant with them,

When I take away their sins.

Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers."

Pastor Carl Gallups has an outstanding new video that explains Israel's role.  See http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=-vhicZ32QW8 Please read and share, "for Zion's sake" (Isaiah 62:1)!
