2024, Israelolatry
Israelolatry holds that the "Jews" of modern day Israel (no relation to the Old Testament tribe of Judah or Judeans of the New Testament) are the heirs of the Abrahamic covenant even as they reject the quintessential seed of Abraham, Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, amen.

Who are the legitimate heirs of the Abrahamic covenant? The legitimate heir is Jesus Christ, the quintessential seed of Abraham. Israelite believers, Palestinian believers, and all other Gentile believers share in that inheritance through faith in Jesus Christ.

Divine inspiration, wrote that: 1″I say then,Hath God cast away His people? [The Jews] God forbid.For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew. (Romans 11:1-2) 5 Even so then at this present time also there is aremnant according to the election of grace."(Romans 11:5)
It is crucial to distinguish between the era of sacrificial cults in antiquity and the world of monotheistic religions. In ancient empires, cults primarily served as a political tool to create a common denominator to consolidate the ruler's power and unify different populations through shared customs and uniform symbols. Meanwhile, popular beliefs held a more prominent place in the daily life of the people. Therefore, it is imperative to separate official priestly worship from popular beliefs. This study focuses on Jews rather than Judaism. The term "Judaism" is a modern concept that gained theological significance only in the 18th century within the study of religions. Rabbinic Judaism, in accordance with its texts, is more concerned with authorized or prohibited actions than with beliefs and opinions. This does not mean that outside of it, there haven't been developments like mystical currents such as Hasidism and Kabbalah or rationalist thinkers like Maimonides, who sought to understand Judaism from different perspectives. Indeed, the Jewish religion emerged long after the era of blood sacrifice worship in temples, but the complexity of this evolution is undeniable. The concept of religion, in the Christian sense, does not precisely apply to the definition of the Jewish entity, especially before modern times and particularly in the 19th century according to Jewish thinkers in Europe. To be precise, the notion of religion was nonexistent in the ancient world. Various categories of "Judaisms" were later born based on the intellectual currents of the time. The analysis of New Testament texts, the Talmud, and their influence on Jewish existence reveals this complexity. These two research domains, rich in often challenging interpretations, have been shaken by innovative research in recent decades. To deepen these studies, the historian is faced with the need to sift through the most relevant topics, a challenging task involving the ability to break free from outdated previous research while considering historical heritage. My study does not aim to provide a comprehensive monograph of Jews or fully trace their history. Instead, it focuses on topics highlighting disagreements with certain old research hypotheses or predominant national narratives. These interpretations could only emerge thanks to the publication of works conducted in recent decades.

A Meditation on the Meaning of God's Covenant with Abraham (renewed with Isaac and Jacob) in the context of the Relationship between Jews and Christians in World History
Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 2017
Introduction The covenant is one of the prominent themes in biblical theology that highlights the relationship between God and His people. The people of Israel stand out as God’s people in salvation history as recorded in the Bible. It begins with the establishment of a covenant with Abraham and continues with its codification and incorporation into the life of Israel at Sinai. There are records of apostasy from the covenant followed by covenant renewals to bring them back to God. In the NT the Church is established and at times appears to exist in antagonism to historical Israel. What is the relationship between the two? The issue of the identity of God’s people in relation to the covenant arises especially in the light of the theology of Dispensationalism. According to Dispensationalism, there are two separate people of God: Israel as God’s earthly people and the Church as God’s heavenly people. This raises a number of questions. Is God’s covenant with Israel separate from that of...

The Encyclopaedia Britanicca defines Judais e rew Yahăḏūṯ) as an Abrahamic, monotheistic, and ethnic religion comprising the collective religious, cultural, and legal tradition and civilization of the Jewish people. It has its roots as an organized religion in the Middle East during the Bronze Age. Modern Judaism evolved from Yahwism, the religion of ancient Israel and Judah, by the late 6th century BCE, and is thus considered to be one of the oldest monotheistic religions. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenant that God established with the Israelites, their ancestors. It encompasses a wide body of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organization. Judais can e considered as racial religion derived fro one of the provinces of Palestine. “Judea” which was. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion, but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship.

Alongside 'Mosaic discourse', Second Temple period authors increasingly looked to Abraham as a source of instruction and authority. This article focuses on the growing importance of the Abrahamic covenant through the lens of five re-tellings of Israel's history that link the past with the present: the Damascus Document, the Apocalypse of Weeks, 4 Ezra, Nehemiah 9, and Galatians. This article argues that various authors placed themselves within a historical narrative that spotlighted the Abrahamic covenant in order to identify themselves as the elect and demarcate the boundaries separating them from the non-elect. The ideological orientation of each text can account for why the Abrahamic covenant, rather than the later Mosaic pact, became the basis for identity politics.
