“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord…” Eph 2:19-21 Emphasis Mine
The foundation of the church is Christ Himself and the revelation of Him that has come to us through the apostles and prophets. These are not just any apostles and prophets from either Biblical or modern times. They are “the” apostles of the Lord and “the” Prophets of Israel. This is clearly presented to us in the above passage written by Paul, who uses the definite article to indicate who they are (“the” apostles and prophets). However, the church today, because of its continued love affair with Replacement Theology (the idea that the church has replaced Israel), has little time for the writings of the Prophet’s other than the use of stories or quotes that support their narrative or agenda. Yet it is the Scriptures of the Prophets that unveil to us God’s plan for the end of the age and the Messianic kingdom that is coming. Without embracing the revelation of the Hebrew Prophets, the church cannot have a solid foundation or reach its destiny by the side of the Biblical Christ!
