He argues that the Christian church has not replaced Israel, but rather fulfills old promises through Jesus. This debate is particularly relevant amidst the Middle East conflict. Lusk warns against basing U.S. alliances on Bible verses and emphasizes the importance of viewing Israel as any other country, grounded in facts rather than prophecy. He explains that Jesus lives out Israels story perfectly, and the church is now Israel, with believing Gentiles grafted in. The global church, from every tribe and tongue, is Gods big plan.
