Israel in the End Times God's Plan for Israel I do not want you to be ignorant
of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has
experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has
come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The
deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I
take away their sins." As far as
the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as
election is concerned, they are loved on account of the Patriarchs, for God's
gifts and his call are irrevocable.
Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received
mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become
disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's
mercy to you. Rom. 11: 25-28 (NIV) Return of Israel to the Promised Land [1948] Ezek. 36: 17-25 (God always delivers
on His promises); Isa. 11: 10-16 (Israel in the Millennial Kingdom); Isa. 66:
7-10 (created with suddenness); Ezek. 38 & 39, Dan. 9: 26, Mat. 24:15-17,
II Thes. 2: 4, Rev. 11: 1-13 (implied by places & future events
described) The ingathering of the
Jewish nation will not be completed until after
the Tribulation [Isa. 11: 11-16, Ezek. 37: 16-28, Zech. 10: 6-12, Rev. 7: 4-8]
when all 12 tribes will occupy Greater Israel – the land originally promised
to Abraham by God – 'from the river of Egypt [Nile River?] to the great
river, the Euphrates' [in eastern Syria and Iraq]. Gen. 15: 17-21. |
