The Case For A Preterist Supercessionism Pt 1 (The Covenant Case)
Welcome back to The PRODCAST for Episode 177!Today we begin a massive four-part series that cuts through the confusion, controversy, and caricatures surrounding supersessionism—and we do it from a fully biblical, Reformed, covenantal, Christ-centered, preterist perspective.This episode is Part 1: The Covenantal Case for Preterist Supersessionism, where we lay the foundation the apostles themselves give us:Christ is the true Israel → those united to Christ are the people of God → the land promise expands to the entire world → the Old Covenant institutions are fulfilled and therefore ended.If you understand this episode, the entire New Testament will come into focus.TODAY’S MAIN POINTS1. Christ Is Israel Concentrated and the Covenants ConsummatedJesus does not stand next to Israel’s story—He is Israel’s story brought to its climax.He relives Israel’s history and succeeds where Israel failed.He becomes the true Temple, the true Priest, the true Sacrifice, and the true Son.When the substance arrives, the shadows fall.This is the unavoidable starting point for understanding why the Old Covenant cannot continue in parallel with Christ.2. The People of God Are Defined Christologically, Not EthnicallyUnion with Christ—not ethnicity—determines covenant identity.Paul: “Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel.”Ephesians: Christ creates one new man, not two parallel peoples.Peter: Titles once reserved for Israel now belong to the church.This is not erasure—it is fulfillment. The olive tree is one, and its life is Christ.3. The Land Promise Is Transfigured to the WorldThe land never shrinks back to Canaan. Christ enlarges it.Abraham was promised the world (Romans 4:13).Jesus promises the meek the earth, not Judea.Revelation ends with a global, renewed creation—not a fenced-off ethnic homeland.The land becomes cosmological because the King is cosmic.4. Circumcision, Priesthood, Sacrifices, and Temple Are Fulfilled and EndedThe institutions that defined Israel’s covenant identity have been completed in Christ.Circumcision → heart-renewal by the SpiritPriesthood → Christ’s once-for-all priesthoodSacrifices → the final, perfect offering of the SonTemple → Christ and His Spirit-filled peopleWithout these, the Old Covenant cannot exist—and neither can an Old Covenant people.WHY THIS MATTERSSupersessionism is not harsh, fringe, or speculative—it is the New Testament’s covenantal logic.It explains:The Great CommissionThe unity of Jew and GentilePentecostThe tearing of the veilThe transformation of the world under ChristWhy no future, post-Calvary covenant identity can exist apart from HimThis episode is the theological backbone of everything that follows.FULL SERIES ROADMAPPart 1 — The Covenantal CaseChrist as true Israel, the church as His people, the land enlarged, and the Old Covenant fulfilled.Part 2 — The Prophetic & Historical CaseHow the prophets foresaw this, how the apostles taught it, and how AD 70 sealed it forever.Part 3 — Romans 11 & Preterist SupersessionismThe passage everyone runs to—and why it actually proves the opposite.Part 4 — Objections AnsweredModern Israel, political Zionism, antisemitism accusations, premillennialism—and the biblical answers.SUPPORT THE SHOWThank you for supporting, liking, sharing, commenting, and subscribing!Your generosity makes this work possible.
