The Key to Understanding Israel Today
March 3, 2026
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
In this passage, Paul concludes the matter he raised in Romans 91-6: What about Israel in the gospel-church age? Has God’s Word pertaining to Israel failed? Does the Israel that exists today have no future with God? Has “the church” inherited Israel covenants?
The answer to this very important question is that God is not finished with Israel, and His covenants with Israel have not been given to the church. The Israel that exists today is the Israel God created by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; it is God’s chosen people; but as a product of her sin and the rejection of her Messiah, Israel is blind during this present age while God is creating the church. When God is finished with the business of the church, His covenants with Israel will be fulfilled. Words could not be plainer that God is not finished with Israel. The church has not replaced Israel. The church is something different. God’s covenants with Israel will be fulfilled literally in the future.
“I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. ... God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew” (Ro. 11:1, 2).
“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?” (Ro. 11:12).
“For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?” (Ro. 11:15).
“And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again” (Ro. 11:23).
“blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Ro. 11:25-26).
This is a key passage on the proper interpretation of Bible prophecy. It clears up a massive amount of confusion that exists today about Israel. It plainly teaches a literal method of interpretation and refutes the allegorical or spiritual method. The prophecies pertaining to the Antichrist, the day of the Lord, the conversion of Israel, the New Covenant, Christ’s millennial kingdom, and such, are to be interpreted literally.
It is false Christianity that has created the great confusion that exists today about Israel. It was the Roman Catholic Church and its founders (e.g., Origen, Jerome, Augustine, Gregory the Great) that invented the allegorical method of interpretation to support the heresy that the “church” is the new Israel. The Eastern Orthodox Church that split from Rome in 1054 held to this heresy. This resulted in terrible persecution of Jews by “Christianity,” but it is the false Christianity that was prophesied in the New Testament itself (e.g., Mt. 13:33; Ac. 20:28-30; 1 Ti. 4:1-3; 2 Ti. 3:1-5, 13; 2 Pe. 2; Jude 1). The Crusaders were false Christians. The Protestants did not reject the great error of replacement theology but rather perpetuated it.
Romans 11:25-27 teaches that the Israel that was judged of God, blinded, and scattered among the nations by Babylon and Rome is the same Israel that exists today, and a remnant of this Israel will be converted and blessed.
A “mystery” (Ro. 11:25) is truth that was hidden in Old Testament times and is revealed in the New Testament. It is defined in Romans 16:25-26, “the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest.” Israel’s blindness and conversion was revealed by the Old Testament prophets, but the church age, with the calling out from the nations of a heavenly people, was not revealed. The mystery is that “blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in” (Ro. 11:25). The fullness of the Gentiles is the completion of “the general assembly and church of the firstborn” (Heb. 12:23). In the church age, God is visiting the Gentiles “to take out of them a people for his name” (Ac. 15:14). He is doing this by the preaching of the Gospel and the operation of the Spirit. Church age saints are a trophy people who will be on display before the universe for all ages as a testimony of God’s grace. “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:7). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end” (Eph. 3:21). The Church is not Israel and has not inherited Israel’s covenants.
“blindness in part” (Ro. 11:25) means not all of Israel is blind. The first believers in Jesus as Christ were Jews, like Paul, and there were many thousands of them. There were 3,000 at Pentecost, then another 5,000 (Ac. 2:41; 4:4), and many others in those days. Many Jews have believed since then, but they are the extreme minority.
“all Israel shall be saved” (Ro. 11:26) must be defined according to the prophecies. All of the true Israel will be saved. “For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel” (Ro. 9:6). All of Israel that repents and believes in Jesus as Christ will be saved. This is clear in the Scripture that Paul refers to in Ro. 9:26, which is Isaiah 59:20, “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.” It is those who turn from transgression who are the saved Israel. In the day of the Lord a remnant of Israel will repent of their sins against God (Eze. 20:43). Their repentance will be dramatic and thoroughgoing: “ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.” They will receive Jesus as the Messiah. “They shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him” (Zec. 12:10-14). The unbelievers and impenitent will not enter Christ’s kingdom (Eze. 20:38). God calls them “rebels.” Zechariah says that one-third of Israel will be saved (Zec. 13:8-9). Isaiah says, “For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return” (Isa. 10:22).
The “covenant” (Ro. 11:27) is the glorious New Covenant, as summarized in Isaiah 59:21. “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever.” The New Covenant is God’s promise to convert Israel, restore her to her own land, and bless her forever. God will cleanse Israel and write His laws into their hearts and they will all know Him. Ezekiel describes it (Eze. 36:25-29, 37). See also Isa. 44:1-3; 44:21-23; Jer. 31:10-14, 31-34; 32:38-40; 33:7-8; Eze. 11:17-21; 16:60-63; 20:33-44; 34:11-17; 36:12-14; 37:15-27; 39:25-29; Mic. 7:18-20; Zec. 13:8-9; Mal. 3:1-6.
“God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all” (Ro. 11:32). This is not saying that all men will be saved universally. We know this by interpreting the passage in light of the rest of Scripture. The Lord Jesus warned that the way of life is narrow and “few there be that find it” (Mt. 7:14). Multitudes will be cast into the lake of fire in the last judgment (Re. 20). In Romans 11:32, Paul is saying that the offer of salvation is universal. A parallel passage in Galatians 3:22 explains, “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.”

Pastor & Mrs Boadway
Our Pastor, Wayne Boadway has lived in Guelph since moving here in 2001. Prior to starting the Royal City Baptist Church, he taught high school in the Waterloo region. Pastor Boadway studied in the local Bible institute of his sending church (Northside Baptist Church) and was ordained to the Gospel ministry in November 2000. He is married to his wife Laurie and has three married children and eleven grandchildren. All three children and their spouses are saved and love the Lord and are serving Him in local churches.
In August of 2000, believing it was God's will, Pastor Boadway and his family along with Dr. and Mrs. William Hiltz and several other believers started the Royal City Baptist Church.
In 2004, 4 years to the day of the first services, the building and land that presently house the Royal City Baptist Church was purchased.
Since then, God has blessed in many ways and the church has grown to over 150 people meeting on Sunday Mornings.
A Checklist for Choosing a Good Local Church
by Jim HollandsworthFrontline Magazine - May/June 2000 (pp. 10-11) Reprinted by permission.
(This is a portion of this article, the complete article is available at Royal City Baptist Church)
How should one go about choosing a good local church? Apart from a recommendation by a trusted pastor or friend, the process can be daunting, especially in this age of apostasy and evangelical compromise. Churches that once adhered to the fundamentals of the faith have departed. Multitudes of ministries have gone the direction of New Evangelicalism and lack any type of separational stand. Sadly, the name Baptist no longer guarantees that a church adheres to the historic Baptist distinctives. What criteria should be considered in evaluating a church for prospective membership? Often the decision is made because of the great programs or professional literature or beautiful facilities or polished preacher. Well-meaning Christians sometimes choose a church because of the outstanding music or convenient location or size. While these may be commendable qualities, they should not be the sole basis for selecting a church............. Prayerfully ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit while seeking answers to any questions you should ask. Most answers can be found by reading the church’s literature (constitution, doctrinal statement, brochures) and by observing the church in practice (services, messages, programs, activities, affiliations). If necessary, schedule a meeting with the pastor to gather additional information.
FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE
If the church does not believe and teach the great doctrines of Scripture, it is not Bible-believing and, therefore, should not be considered by the believer, even if the ministry is seemingly dynamic and growing.
SEPARATION
Separation from apostasy, ecumenism, and worldliness is a matter of obedience to the Word. History demonstrates that churches that are disobedient to the Lord in this area eventually become apostate themselves, often in a couple of generations.
BAPTIST DISTINCTIVES
Throughout history, many great men gave their lives in defense of Biblical convictions concerning the governance and structure of the church, the observance of ordinances, the position of the believer, and the relationship of church and state. But just because a church is called Baptist does not necessarily mean that it holds these convictions.
Missions Program
Missions we know from the Bible is the heartbeat of God. In Luke 19:10, Jesus said,
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Just before Christ was received back up into the glories of heaven, He left His disciples and (us, the church), with the commission to reach a lost and dying world! Jesus said,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
And so, it is our commission to reach this world through our witness here in our own communities, while at the same time, reaching the uttermost part of the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And this we do as a local church through supporting missionary efforts around the world!
God has allowed us to have a part in the ministries of 34 missionary families in many countries around the world.
We are pleased to be the sending church for Joel & Holly Buckingham who have planted a church in the city of Campbelltown NewBrunswick. God is doing a great work through this fine young godly couple. Do pray for them as they serve the Lord!!!
How To Be Saved - Born Again
How You Can Be Saved and Know that You Have Eternal Life
Friend,
Let me ask you a question, if you were to die today, do you have the assurance that heaven would be your eternal home? You CAN know for certain because the Bible says, "These things have I written....that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE (present tense) eternal life." 1 John 5:13
The Bible also says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9
And so what must you do to be saved?
Be Willing to admit that you are a sinner.
See Romans 3:10, 23
Be willing to turn from your sin to God. (Repent)
See Acts 17:30
Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and that He rose again from the dead.
See Romans 10:9-10
Through prayer, admit to God that you are a sinner, ask Him through Christ shed blood to forgive you your sins, and ask Him to save you and give you the gift of eternal life.
See Romans 10:13
If you would like to be saved or want to know more about God's Word the Bible, please feel free to call me. It would be a joy and a pleasure to help you know that heaven is your eternal home.
Pastor Wayne Boadway
