08-To the Jew First
Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology - A podcast by Kim Burgess and Gary DeMar

Kim describes the fulfilled role of Israel in biblical prophecy. While modern Christians are correct that the nation of Israel plays a major part in God's redemptive story, it is not the focus any longer. God's promises to Israel must be—and were—fulfilled, which made it possible for all nations to be saved. God's plan was always to extend His focus to "the world," but Israel was the initial example. As Paul states in Romans, it was "to the Jew first."
