I hope the author of the article had made his points more clear. After reading it, I am not sure I understand his stand on the issue. My take on Israel as a nation is that: 1. God has made the nation deliberately according to His redemptive plan. 2. And through the Instructions that He has given to Israel, models of His redemptive plan are concealed. 3. The grace now is offered to non-Jews. Anyone who believes in the Son shall have everlasting life. (John 4:36) Now is the time of Gentiles. (Dan 9:26) until the day of vengeance of our God (Isa 61:1-2 re Like 4:18-20) 4. Regarding the 'mysteries' of Christ's second coming, Jewish people still has a role to play. At that time, the veils in front their eyes will be lifted and they will see the Messiah (Hosea 5:15) So be kind to the nation and bless them as you could because it does please God our Father in heaven.
