ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED

Romans 11:28, “From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers”.

     The war you see in the Middle East today - nations trying to surround Israel - is the preparations of the ingathering of the Jews People. It's spiritual. Whether these nations [Israel's enemies] know it or not, they are contending against Israel's Messiah Himself; and they will not win against Israel. 

     Previously, through Israel's transgression, salvation came to the Gentiles, so as to arouse Israel - that they would see and feel what they forfeited - to make them jealous. Now, the Gentiles have fully come in to salvation...Luke 21:24, "They will fall by the mouth and the edge of the sword and will be led away as captives to and among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (completed)". See also Isaiah 63:18; Daniel 8:13. I'm happy to report that the time of the Gentiles is over. The wicked can no longer continue to trend on Israel. 

     The war against the Jews People did start in these times. God said this concerning Ishmael, "And he [Ishmael] will be as a wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen"... Genesis 16:12. Ishmael cannot be an heir with Israel... Genesis 21:9, 10. The ministration of God on earth cannot be seen with the physical eye. The war you see will restore the entire nation of Israel and they will come to faith in Him once again, ending “the times of the Gentiles” (Isaiah 17:7; 62:11–12; Romans 11:26). 

     Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans the eleventh chapter, he outlines the circumstaces that led to the cutting off the 'original branch' [Israel] from the olive tree so that the 'wild olive branch' [the Gentiles] would be grafted in. Paul continued to say, "If the first handful of dough offered as the firstfruits [Abraham and the patriarchs] is consecrated (holy), so is the whole mass [the nation of Israel]; and if the root [Abraham] is consecrated (holy), so are the branches"... Romans 11:16. All Israel will be saved.

     We, the Gentiles were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and against nature, we were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much easier will it will be to graft the natural branches - the Israelites - back on the original parent stock of which is their own olive tree... Romans 11:24. The mystery was: a hardening, the insensibility had temporarily befallen a part of Israel to last until the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in. Then, as God had promised that He would take away all their rebellion, "And this will be My covenant (My agreement) with them when I shall take away their sins"... Romans 11:27 [Jeremiah 31:33, 34].

     God's gifts and His call are irrevocable - God never withdraws them once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call. When Israel was being disobedient, we, the Gentiles received mercy so that, they in turn may one day, through the mercy we enjoyed, would also receive mercy. The Jews People must share the mercy which was shown to us Gentiles – through us as messengers of the Gospel to them. This is why Israel's enemies will be overpowered not by 'horses or chariots', but by the Spirit of the Living God.

     God promised through Zachariah to make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples; all who lift it or burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded. That all the nations of the earth would come and gather together against Israel, "In that day, says the Lord, I will smite every horse of the armies that contend against Jerusalem with terror and panic and his rider with madness; and I will open My eyes and regard with favor the house of Judah and will smite every horse of the opposing nations with blindness". Does this look like God is out of control in support of Israel? Think again before you side with everyone else but Israel.

     The piece of land [Israel] that they are fighting for right now in the middle east belongs to none other than Israel's Messiah. In the 1000-year rule, Messiah and the Rapture saints will rule the earth from Mount Olive. The earth and everything in it belongs to the King of all kings. He drove out an entire rebellious nation of Canaan - that included Palestine - and He gave it to Abraham and all his descendants. This is why we all need to be in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel.

     In Jesus day, the religious sects were always fighting one another because of their 'belief'. But they soon found a common enemy - the Messiah - and they came together to fight Him. If it were not for Israel, many nations in the middle east would be up in arms against one another. But now they have a common 'enemy' - Israel. As it were, they have vowed to wipe the Jews People off the face of the Earth as the Psalmist of Israel had predicted, "They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against Your hidden and precious ones. They have said, Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be in remembrance no more"... Psalm 83:3-5. Scheming and consulting together with one accord and one heart; against Israel is making a covenant with one another against the Lord of lords.

     The Bible predicted, thousands of years ago, that the end times events would revolve around Jerusalem and Israel. Jerusalem, this tiny little city in this tiny sliver of land is playing a key role in the events of the last days. It’s the focal point in these end times events as we come close to Rapture. But, no one will be able to move Israel's ancient boundaries not even the terrorists or the United Nations. The boundaries were marked with blood and fire, "As for you also, because of and for the sake of the covenant of the Lord with His people, which was sealed with sprinkled covenant blood, I have released and sent forth your imprisoned people out of the waterless pit"... Zechariah 9:11. Only Jesus the Messiah knows exactly where those markers are and no war can unmark them. 

     This is the Kairos moment for all Israel's salvation. If they have peace with Jesus, their Messiah, they will make it for Rapture... Isaiah 45:17, "But Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity". Jeremiah 23:6, "In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name by which He shall be called: The Lord Our Righteousness [Jehovah Tsidkenu].

Come Lord Jesus - Maranatha!
