Replacement theology teaches that the church is the replacement for Israel and that the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel. So, the prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land are “spiritualized” or “allegorized” into promises of God's blessing for the church.
Teolojia Badala hufundisha kwamba Kanisa li badala ya Israeli na kwamba ahadi nyingi zilizotolewa kwa Israeli katika Biblia zimetimizwa katika kanisa la Kikristo, hata katika Israeli. Hivyo, unabii katika maandiko kuhusu baraka na ukombozi wa Israeli katika Nchi ya Ahadi ni "wa kiroho" au "hadhithi " katika ahadi ya baraka ya Mungu kwa kanisa.
