The Rise of Replacement Theology and Anti-Jewish Propaganda | KWR-0057
Kingdom War Room
Episode Description
In this Kingdom War Room roundtable, Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and Dr. Justin Elwell for a sober, Scripture-centered discussion on replacement theology (supersessionism)—its historical roots, its modern resurgence, and why it fuels dangerous anti-Israel rhetoric in our day.
We address:
- how supersessionism was codified historically and how it continues to shape today’s conversations
- why God’s covenants (especially the Abrahamic) are foundational to understanding the entire Bible
- the warning of Romans 11 and the inconsistency of claiming “Israel is replaced” while still appealing to Israel in end-times frameworks
- why “unhitching” from the Old Testament throws away the very definitions that make the New Testament intelligible
- the difference between critiquing a government’s policies and condemning an entire people
- why the remnant must return to the Word of God—with God’s definitions—if we’re going to stand faithfully in the days ahead
📌 Featured resource: Dr. Mike Spaulding’s new book addressing replacement theology and the biblical case for God’s covenant faithfulness.

Run of Show / Segment Outline (War Room flow)
1) Opening framing (Dr. Michael Lake)
- Why this is not a “basement YouTube” discussion: scholarship, ministry, authorship, decades of study
- Separate government policies from people
- Identify the “spirit behind” the anti-Israel surge online
2) Why Dr. Mike wrote the book (Dr. Mike Spaulding)
- The burden: Christians parroting talking points without study
- Replacement theology’s historical roots and modern “steroids” version
- Call to return to Scripture, not internet rhetoric
3) Historical consequences & continuity of hatred
- Examples of how theological ideas have been weaponized historically
- Why this matters now: hostility is being mainstreamed again
4) Covenant as the backbone
- God’s integrity tied to His covenant promises
- Abrahamic covenant as “umbrella covenant”
- Why promises to Israel cannot be “transferred” without undermining God’s own oath
5) The lens problem: paradigms and presuppositions
- How translators/theologians import assumptions into passages
- “Unhitching” from the Old Testament = throwing away the dictionary
- The need to recover God’s definitions for covenant, Torah, identity, holiness
6) Romans 11 and the grafting issue (Dr. Michael Lake)
- If Gentiles are grafted into the tree, discarding the tree collapses the entire model
- Warning against arrogance and theological pride
7) Hebraic heritage: instruction, relationship, and spiritual power
- Torah as loving instruction; commandments as alignment and connection
- Why balance matters: avoid extremes, embrace Scripture’s continuity
8) Addressing internet claims: “Israel isn’t Israel”
- Demand: “Show it in Scripture.”
- The danger of “click theology” and conspiracy appetites
9) Closing exhortation + prayer
- Don’t bow to Babylon’s metrics (likes, comments)
- Strategic preparation in the days ahead
- Prayer for boldness, clarity, protection, and expanded footprint

Key Talking Points
- Replacement theology/supersessionism does not have clear Scriptural warrant for “transfer” of eternal promises from Israel to the Church
- God’s covenants are tied to His own integrity
- Romans 11 warns Gentile believers against arrogance and forgetfulness
- “Unhitching” from the Old Testament destroys the framework that defines New Testament terms
- Recover God’s definitions (covenant, Torah, holiness, identity) to restore continuity from Genesis to Revelation
- Critique policies if needed, but do not demonize a people
- Conspiracy claims must be met with one question: “Where is that in Scripture?”
- The remnant must resist Babylon’s pressure to perform for metrics and return to faithful exposition
