SHORT ANSWER

Chuck Smith described the view that the promises to Israel "are now fulfilled in the church," then named its cost: "immediately it places the church in the Great Tribulation." Paul still speaks of a future for Israel: "And so all Israel shall be saved" (Romans 11:26). Read Chuck on Jeremiah 31:1 in the reader.
