DOES THE BOOK OF REVELATION
ENDORSE REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY?
ADAM QUITO
With the spiritual, and even geopolitical climate that it is today, our attention is once again forced on the realities of antisemitism around, and as demonstrated throughout history. One such example is seen in the theological, where for centuries, Jews have been persecuted by professing Christians based on a misunderstanding of the book of Revelation.
One example includes a tragedy known as“ The Siege of Worms” where a group of crusaders in the city of Worms, Germany attacked a local Jewish community based on the idea that they were the“ Synagogue of Satan,” a term used by Yeshua in the book of Revelation.( Rev. 2:9; 3:9) Furthermore, many Christian denominations today continue to see the Jewish people as insignificant, or in some cases an opposition to God’ s eschatological redemptive plan, rather than recognizing that their deliverance is the ultimate catalyst for ushering in the renewed age of the kingdom of God.
On that note, my aim in writing this article is to clarify what Yeshua meant regarding the term“ synagogue of Satan” in his address to the Congregation of Smyrna and, to reinforce the idea of a One-New-Man in John’ s book of Revelation.
