Why God Never Divorced Israel – A Chuck Missler Revelation

I’ve been on a deep dive again, and this time it's about something many people gloss over or misinterpret: the idea that God somehow divorced Israel. Well, I came across an incredible teaching by Chuck Missler that completely shuts that thought down and I just had to share it with you.

In his powerful message titled “Israel and the Church: The Prodigal Heirs,” Chuck breaks it down clearly. He shows that the notion of God abandoning or replacing Israel is not only flawed, it’s unbiblical. That’s right. Despite Israel's stumbles, God's covenant with them still stands. The promises were never conditional on their perfection they were based on God’s faithfulness.

Chuck Missler goes straight to the Word, especially Romans 11:25–29, and shows how God’s plan for Israel hasn’t been thrown out or given to the Church as some form of replacement. He makes it very clear: Israel and the Church are two distinct groups with unique roles in God’s ultimate plan. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

Missler totally debunks what’s known as Replacement Theology, that misguided belief that the Church has now taken Israel’s place. He refers to that thinking as not only dangerous, but contrary to Scripture. Instead, he highlights that Israel’s current spiritual “blindness” is only temporary and the time is coming when all Israel will be saved.

This isn’t just a New Testament truth either, it’s laced all throughout the Old Testament, stitched in with the precision of prophecy. In Zechariah 14, the nations gather against Jerusalem, and then just like in the days of old the LORD goes out to fight. And it gets literal: His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, which will split in two. Chuck Missler would say, “When God says something, He means what He says, and says what He means.” This is not allegory. This is Jesus returning in the flesh, right where He left—on the Mount of Olives—keeping His divine appointment. Then you look at Amos 9, and it says God will rebuild the fallen tent of David and plant Israel in their land, never to be uprooted again. Isaiah calls Israel “the apple of His eye,” and Jeremiah reminds us that God’s love for her is everlasting. The prophets don’t speak in poetry here they speak in covenantal legal terms. As Chuck often said, “God is not through with Israel. She has a destiny, and it will be fulfilled.” And to every nation that has lifted a hand against her? God keeps the receipts. Judgment is pending.

So if you’ve ever wondered if Israel was “cut off” or replaced, or if you've heard someone preach that God divorced them—go watch this teaching. It’s a wake-up call and a refreshing reminder of how faithful God truly is, even when we aren’t.

Here’s the full teaching on YouTube:

And if you’re a reader or collector like me, here’s the book version:

I believe it’s one of the clearest teachings on this topic out there. And as always, let’s be people who search out a matter and hold tight to what’s true. As believers, we’ve got to remember that our words matter—a lot more than we often think. Scripture is clear: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up” (Ephesians 4:29). James doesn’t mince words either: “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers” (James 4:11). Even Paul in his letter to Titus says we are to “slander no one, be peaceable and considerate, and always be gentle toward everyone” (Titus 3:2). And let’s not forget Jesus’ own words in Matthew 12:36—that we’ll give an account for every idle word. That’s serious. The Bible doesn’t just tell us to speak kindly—it warns us that even our careless words carry spiritual weight. Proverbs says it best: “Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut” (Proverbs 10:19). So if we’re claiming to walk with Christ, that walk includes the way we talk—about everyone.
