REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY LESSON 1
The actual words Replacement Theology cannot be found in Scripture; however, the process or principle of Replacement Theology is found everywhere in Scripture and secular history. Replacement Theology is any doctrine or teaching that is practiced by mainstream religions that is not found in Scripture or can be proven by Scripture. Satan is the god of this world and has deceived the whole world.
II Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Yahshua, who is the image of Yahweh, should shine unto them.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
His rebellion begins in Isaiah 14:12-14.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Yahweh, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.
Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
He wants to replace Yahweh and have his throne ascend above Yahweh throne. In order to accomplish this, he must replace Yahweh truths with his deceptions. This deceptive, counterfeit knowledge, permeates every part of man’s culture, science, education, religion, government and finances. This false knowledge is everywhere and in everything where mankind derives any kind of knowledge or understanding of his entire existence and true purpose of life. He has made sure it is either entirely false or a mixture of truth and error twisted and woven together as to confuse mankind in every area that affects their lives and the raising of the succeeding generations.
Satan rules the darkness and in order to get most people to accept that darkness, he must change it to light.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
II Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Yahshua.
II Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
II Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
A large part of this process of changing darkness to light and light to darkness is accomplished by changing the meaning of words and names as in Yahweh to “god “and “Lord “which are names of pagan origins. Other examples include the changing of Assembly and Congregations to “church” a name not found in the Scripture and is also of pagan origin. This application extends into every facet of human existence, not just religion.
I have actually taught on Replacement Theology before as an individual topic as in changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Until I spoke with my son, Jay the other day, I never saw it as a total, comprehensive concept or overview. When we do this, it is quite powerful and more persuasive to really understand the big picture. That is what this series will be about – looking at Replacement Theology as a whole rather than isolated topics.
I cannot go to Strong’s Concordance to supply us with a definition of Replacement Theology – so here is my simple definition: “Any false doctrine or teaching that replaces a true one.”
PERSONAL COMMENTS ON DEFINITION
Paul warned the Corinthian assembly about Replacement Theology which was already beginning to infiltrate the 1st Century body of believers with a replacement gospel message and a replacement Messiah, etc.
II Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Yahshua, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
This bible study is an overview or summary of the many, many false doctrines that have replaced the basic truths of the bible. The bible is very plain about adding to or taking away.
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim which I command you.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, Yahweh shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Replacement Theology completely ignores this simple bible command. Languages and names are very important to Yahweh. He always calls things what they are. His name is very important to Him as so many of the other names/words everyone uses represent pagan gods.
In the Kingdom, we will be given a new name and a new, pure language that has not been corrupted by Replacement Theology nor Satan’s ministers wresting the scriptures.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Yahweh, to serve him with one consent.
We can never understate the importance of words, especially Yahshua words.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
It is not only His Truth that sanctifies us but the Sabbath and Clean and Unclean Foods. Sanctify means we are set apart or made holy. We need to realize that. This is our true identity with our Creator – a relationship that 99% of all mankind do not have. We are very special. This is only possible because we obey and understand His Word of truth and reject false doctrines that replace the True ones.
Here is my master list which I will probably add to as time goes by. Please feel free to add other topics to the list.

Some may think these things do not really matter. It matters to Him and it had better matter to us.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 Yahweh is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
As I studied this topic of Replacement Theology, those who tried to define church completely misunderstood the truth about what the word church really means. Let’s look at the origins of the word church.
THE MEANING OF THE WORD “CHURCH“ ANOTHER REPLACEMENT IN THEOLOGY
What does the word “church” mean and where did it come from? An interesting quote from the 1915 Gospel Advocate on page 589 says:
The word “church” is not really a translation of any word that was used by either Yahshua or His apostles, but is from a different word which Roman Catholicism substituted in the place of the true words used by Yahshua and His apostles. This was put in our English scriptures by the order of King James who instructed the translators of 1611 not to translate Ecclesia using the correct words congregation or assembly, but to use the word church instead. The word church is neither Hebrew or Greek and is not found in the Old Covenant. or New Covenant.
The Greek word in the N.T. for “church” is Ekklesia which means “Called Out Ones.” Ekklesia does not refer to a building, but a group of people. The proper English translation should read congregation, assembly or group. In Acts 19:32, Ekklesia is translated as assembly, but in other passages, it is translated as a church. A church is defined as a building for public worship.
Ekklesia is also spelled Ecclesia in our English dictionary so why wasn’t it used in later translations?
Bible scholars say the word “church” is derived from the Greek word Kyriakon meaning “lords house” and it is not used in the bible. Ekklesia is!
It is assumed to be from Kureous meaning “house of god.” This word existed before the introduction of Greek. The word means a circle and comes from German and Celtic nations and is an ancient stone Megaliths on earth.
The Oxford Dictionary says – circle, chiriche, churiche and kirche is from the Old Saxon Kirika or circle. What do these mean? Why was another word ordered to replace the true meanings that Yahshua used to identify His followers? Kirke or circe or church today was a Greek goddess Pharmakeia (witch or sorceress) who lived on the island of Aiaia, which is the ancient form of the name Gaia, the pagan goddess of fertility. She was the daughter of the sun god Helios and had the power to change men into lions, wolves and especially swine. This Greek goddess would feed men, give them wine and then touch them with her charming rod and immediately they were transformed into swine having bodies of swine, but retaining their minds – which made them terribly lament their transformation. These men were trapped in these animal bodies
The Greeks pictured this goddess with a golden cup in one hand filled with wine mixed with drugs to seduce and control warriors and kings transforming them into animals.
In Revelation 17:2-5 John saw a vision of this woman while on the isle of Patmos. In Revelation 18:23 the men of the earth are deceived by sorceries.
The words pharmacy or pharmaceuticals come from this word. Strong’s definition of Pharmakeia is medicine.
The church entices people with spiritual drugs, feel good doctrines, hallucinations or special visions and powers – all the things’ drugs and seducing spirits do.
Mark 13:22 For false messiah’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
I Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
II Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Kirke is also the word for hawk which is an unclean bird of prey by Torah standards which is an unclean and hateful bird.
She has joined herself to world leaders in order to conquer others of different beliefs that are otherwise unaffected by her sorceries. Revelation 18:24.
Leaders like Constantine had a vision he was to conquer in the sign of the cross.
Witch hunts killed many innocent women to appease the “church’s god.” During the crusades, many innocent people and followers of “church” died for the church’s god. Chattel slavery was defended by “church” and her followers. The murder, rape and lynching of innocent humans didn’t bother her or her daughters one bit. Church’s bloody history will be repaid and all who follow her.
Some have said the church is a “mystery Babylon and the Reformation was the fulfillment of the scriptures that said “come out of her” Mystery Babylon was the mother of harlots. All of the daughter harlots – at least 38,000 denominations may have different first names, but share their mother’s maiden name – that of “CHURCH.”
It is important to understand who Yahweh is actually dealing with. The vast majority of mankind is not being called to be the bride. This is not the only time that salvation is going to be offered to mankind.
The world and mainstream Christianity think the Jews are the “chosen people.” The first place the word Jew is mentioned in scripture is I Kings 16:6 and Judah and Israel are two separate nations who are at war with each other. Israel is mentioned 2415 times in the bible and Jew is mentioned only 272 times. The main emphasis is not on the Jews, but on Israel as a whole nation.
The following scriptures will show that Torah, the Commandments, the Sabbath and the Set Apart Days were given to ancient Israel who are the sum total of the Chosen People not just Judah.
Deuteronomy 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
Deuteronomy 5:2 Yahweh our Elohim made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Deuteronomy 5:3 Yahweh made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Deuteronomy 5:4 Yahweh talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
Deuteronomy 5:5 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to shew you the word of Yahweh: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
Deuteronomy 5:6 I am Yahweh thy Elohim , which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Verses 7 – 21 give the 10 Commandments.
Leviticus 23:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an Set Apart convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of Yahweh, even Set Apart convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
The whole house of Israel is 12 tribes of which Judah is only one.
Numbers 1:2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;
Numbers 1:3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
Numbers 1:4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.
Numbers 1:5 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben (1); Elizur the son of Shedeur.
Numbers 1:6 Of Simeon (2); Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
Numbers 1:7 Of Judah (3); Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
Numbers 1:8 Of Issachar (4); Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
Numbers 1:9 Of Zebulun (5); Eliab the son of Helon.
Numbers 1:10 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim (6); Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh (7); Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
Numbers 1:11 Of Benjamin (8); Abidan the son of Gideoni.
Numbers 1:12 Of Dan (9); Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
Numbers 1:13 Of Asher (10); Pagiel the son of Ocran.
Numbers 1:14 Of Gad (11); Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
Numbers 1:15 Of Naphtali (12); Ahira the son of Enan.
Numbers 1:16 These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
Who does Yahweh say he has chosen as his chosen people?
Deuteronomy 7:6 For thou art a holy people unto Yahweh thy Elohim : Yahweh thy Elohim hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:7 Yahweh did not set his love upon you, nor choose you because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
Deuteronomy 7:8 But because Yahweh loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Mathew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mathew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
In a later lesson, as we cover more of the Master List. We will talk about the identity of the true spiritual body of Messiah.
