The Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does NOT replace the earthbound, dead in sin, Israel of the flesh.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem refers to JERUSALEM, not the church. Replacement theology is heretical garbage. You otherwise make God out to be a liar. The creation of Israel in 1948, while it may have been largely in the hands of the UN and the UK, this was GOD's doing for He promised He would bring His chosen ones, the JEWS back to their land
“For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land” (Ezek. 36:24). The passage continues, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean…. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezek. 36:25–26).
BTW you cannot be a Jew or Christian and not be a Zionist. BTW DUMP the RSV/NRSV bible, which was translated largely by non believers and get the right one the KJV.
JESUS Himself is the Israel of God and we who are His Body:
= John chapters 1 -3 , Romans chapters 9 thru 11, Ephesians, Galatians, Revelation chapter 7 & chapter 21
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you(Israel of the flesh)
and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. - Matt 21:43
The Kingdom of God is NOT the earthbound, dead in sins, Israel of the flesh
JESUS CHRIST is the Kingdom of God = Colossians 1:13
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into
the kingdom of the Son of His love,
