THANKFUL FOR THOSE
WHO GAVE US A REPUBLIC
| |
Brazil’s former President, Jair Bolsonaro, was arrested over the weekend. This is for us particularly painful because of the friendship we have with his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Find Eduardo's comments at our
November 2025 meeting at
the end of this newsletter.
In the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election cycle, Democrats and the U.S. White House funded Brazil's Marxist insurgents and Lula da Silva, the communist president, through USAID (U.S. taxpayer money). This year, USAID, U.S. Agency for International Development, was dismantled by Trump.
In a fair election, Eduardo Bolsonaro, the clear people's choice in Brazil, will become the next President.

America was close to going the way of Brazil. We have cause to be extraordinarily thankful that while our previous administration in the White House attempted to expunge, imprison, and assassinate our American version of Brazil’s Bolsonaro, we were given a reprieve.
This is America's week of Thanksgiving. The holiday is an annual call for Americans to give thanks for events which occurred a few centuries ago. Events which enable us to now enjoy the benefits of living in the nation that others, including and especially Brazilians, look to as a shining city on a hill.
| |
We enjoy these benefits because of the Puritans and Pilgrims who opened the door for thousands of Christian refugees escaping political and religious tyranny. These political and religious pioneers founded a government which was submitted to the authority of divine law. It was a concept modeled by ancient Israel acknowledging transcendent (divine) authority rather than the authority of the strong few or the authority of the many (simple democracy).
In a tip of the hat to this year's the Thanksgiving season, noted author, William J. Federer (also an OCPAC Foundation board member) wrote an informative piece unravelling the political ideas which are grounded in Christianity.
Federer discusses the concepts which shaped America’s first constitution, the Mayflower Compact. Federer traces the path which enabled our young nation to avoid the political darkness of Rousseau’s secular "social contract" and the completely godless and devastating French Revolution.

I thought of writing more on this, but because of the attention Dr. Everett Piper has given to Candice Owens the past few weeks in this newsletter, I wanted to provide balance by featuring the comments of Dr. P. Andrew Sandlin, one of my mentors. Dr. Sandlin's theological perspectives more closely align with my own.
It was Dr. Sandlin who, six years ago, insisted that I accept the offer to become the President of OCPAC. Prior to that, he had been, and he has continued to be for me a faithful mentor.
His comments below complete the efforts I made in my article last week to provide a more traditional (non-dispensational) view of Biblical teleology and to clarify how we should distinguish the "humble and lowly" seed of Abraham from Abraham's more rebellious descendants, to borrow terminology from Zephaniah 3:11, 12.
These "rebellious ones" are described as chaff in the Psalmist's opening chapter (Psalm 1:4). They are the ones to whom Jesus had so many hard things to say in Matthew's fiery 23rd chapter.
This is not a topic I thought I would ever address so openly, but thanks to the regrettable anger and vitriol on both sides of the "Israel" issue, I thought you would find Dr. Sandlin's clarity and brevity to be helpful.
It is the older, more traditional perspective he presents that frees us from the vitriol of each of the two opposing streams of thought prominent in the news (and in many pulpits) today.

DR. P. ANDREW SANDLIN
NEITHER DISPENSATIONALISM
NOR ANTISEMITISM
| |
The current brouhaha surrounding Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and the Heritage Foundation focuses on questions of Christian Zionism, antisemitism, racism and dispensationalism.
Charges and countercharges abound. Some (perhaps most?) of them are one-sided, reckless and uninformed. A calm, evenhanded, and brief assessment, is warranted.
I’ll take a stab at that here.
| |
My basic point is this: with respect to the modern state of Israel and the Jews, (1) Christian Zionism/dispensationalism and (2) antisemitism/racism are not the only options. Or the right ones.
New Covenant Israel
Many Reformed thinkers like John Murray (I am among them) believe in a glorious future for ethnic Jews, when a multitude will be swept into the church by the gospel of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Rom. 11). This has nothing to do with a biblical theology of the modern state of Israel, about which the Bible is silent.
| |
As I point out in my longer article “Christianity - Jewishness = C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶i̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶,” the church of Jesus Christ is and always was always intended to be the expansion of the Jewish church of the Old Testament and the inheritor of her promises.
Today’s new covenant church contains redeemed Gentiles as well as Jews, just as the Jewish old covenant church did.
The old covenant Jewish church
was not limited to ethnic Jews.
Today’s church constitutes the true Israel,
just as the old covenant church did.
So it is not correct to say that what constitutes the true Israel has changed. It is correct to say that in the new covenant era, the true Israel has been radically expanded.
Therefore, this is not “replacement theology.”
This is “expansion theology.”
God has expanded the simpler, the narrower, and the regional promises of the old covenant to include a multinational, multiethic and global (even cosmic) church saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:20—23; 2:11-22).
The Old Testament church doesn’t
get replaced; it gets bigger.
Listen to my “Who Are God’s Chosen People?”

Modern Israel
This doesn’t mean Christians don’t have good reasons for supporting the current state of Israel. Like the U. S., Israel is far from perfect, but it is an island of constitutional democracy in a sea of Islamic tyranny. It has been friendly to the United States and often willing to advance our interests (people have friends, but nations have interests). Nor is this a unilateral defense all pro-Israel American policy. It is simply a statement about the current geopolitical realities.
You can, and in my view should, generally support the state of Israel for political but non-theological reasons. In short, we can generally support Israel for the same reasons we can generally support Britain: she is a good ally with a similar form of representative government.
| |
But if you don’t believe the modern state of Israel has a place in biblical prophecy, you aren’t thereby antisemitic. You can have a favorable view of the Jews as well as of the modern state of Israel without believing the Bible offers promises to Israel as a present political entity.
But so-called conservatives Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens are in fact unabashedly antisemitic, and they are a blight. And Tucker Carlson has no business tolerating and playing footsie with them.
God has placed Christians in a time that tests their fidelity to biblical faith and not to party or tribe. We must vocally oppose the Sexual Revolution, feminism, effeminacy, and egalitarianism. We must equally oppose racism, antisemitism, and pagan masculinity.
God never gives Christians the luxury of selective opposition to sin.
