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.
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Mike Spaulding joins Pastor Brandon to examine the roots, development, and modern consequences of Replacement Theology, also known as Supersessionism.
From the early Church Fathers to Augustine, Martin Luther, and modern movements within evangelicalism, this discussion traces how Israel’s biblical promises have been reinterpreted, spiritualized, and in many cases dismissed.
Topics covered include:
• The historical origins of Replacement Theology
• How allegorical interpretation reshaped covenant theology
• The Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants • Romans 11 and “All Israel Will Be Saved”
• The prophetic significance of 1948
• How bad Israeology impacts eschatology and hermeneutics
• The connection between theological error and antisemitism
• Christian Zionism clarified
• Apostasy in the last days
Dr. Spaulding explains why getting Israel right matters for every other area of theology and why this issue is more urgent than ever in our generation.

Stay grounded in Scripture. Test everything. Hold fast to what is good.

We presently find ourselves in a unique place in prophetic history. Ministries are tearing apart other ministries daily on social media. Our news channels are filled with moral failings of those in leadership, from the political arena to that of the Church. Historical bedrock doctrines are being replaced with the shallow hyperbole (man-made doctrines) of the man-pleasing carnal mind. While these new doctrines placate the flesh, they are nothing more than cisterns that cannot hold the water of the Kingdom! Even to the casual observer, we are standing on the precipice of what the writer of the book of Hebrews wrote about in Chapter Twelve, Verse Twenty-Six through Twenty-Nine.
Hebrews 12:26–29 (ESV)
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
How long this shaking will continue or even where we are in the process of God’s planned revealing would be speculation on my part. However, the command of Almighty God requires the Remnant warrior to ensure that he is not divided in his allegiances. The days of riding the fence and casual Christianity are over. When the dust settles in this divine intervention in the lives of men, you will either be entirely in the Kingdom or on the outside, staring in.
