This page features a series of responses to the proof texts which are often used by Israel Only proponents to make their case that [1] only natural Israel was ever part of God’s redemptive narrative and [2] this narrative ended in AD 70. Each post features an IO proof text, an explanation of how IO proponents use that text, and a response. This is an ongoing project and new content is expected to be added over time.
IO Proof Texts
*Matthew 15:24 (“But He answered and said, ‘I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'”) [RESPONSE]
*I Corinthians 15:24-26 (“Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”) [RESPONSE]
