THE END OF THE BLOODLINE & THE AGE
When Jesus spoke of “the end of the age,” He meant the end of the covenant of blood. Paul’s letter to the Romans was written at the sunset of that age.
THE HISTORICAL REALITY
Paul wrote Romans while the Temple still stood. He addressed Israel as a nation with a clear lineage. Within a generation, that Israel was gone. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD and crushed the final revolt by 136 AD. The surviving Jewish population scattered.
From the 8th to 10th centuries, the Khazar Empire—a Turkic kingdom—converted to Judaism en masse. This population formed the foundation of Ashkenazi Jewry in Europe. The unbroken biological chain from Abraham was severed. Modern Jewish identity is built on conversion and culture, not an unbroken bloodline.
THE THEOLOGICAL MEANING
1. No “Natural Branches” Remain
Paul’s olive tree metaphor assumed biological continuity that no longer exists. The “natural branches” were the last generation of genetic Israel. Their breaking off marked the end of the bloodline covenant. There are no natural branches to restore nationally.
2. The Church Is the Continuation, Not Replacement
This isn’t Replacement Theology. The ethnic vessel of Israel shattered. The Church carries Abraham’s spiritual promises forward because the original biological carrier was lost.
3. “All Israel Will Be Saved” Means Spiritual Israel
Romans 11:26 cannot mean ethnic Jewish restoration because that ethnic continuity is broken. “All Israel” means God’s complete people from all nations who share Abraham’s faith.
THE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES
In the 1800s, Zionist thinkers reinvented Judaism as a racial identity to justify taking Palestinian land. This ideology has fueled displacement in Palestine and influenced demographic policies in the West that undermine native populations.
I agree with everything in this video except for the part about the Scofield Bible, as I believe it detracts from the authenticity of scripture. I can read the scriptures from any Christian Bible and any translation, and it remains the same book. — Daniel Brummitt
THE FINAL WORD
The “end of the age” Jesus proclaimed was the end of bloodline religion. We live in the age of the Spirit, where genealogy means nothing and faith means everything.
