"All Israel shall be saved" see why and when

The time of Jacob's trouble

One of the names of the Tribulation is "the time of Jacob's trouble" Jer. 30:7. All through the prophets you read that God is going to afflict Israel, beat the stew out them if you please, "until they acknowledge their offense (of rejecting their Messiah) and seek my face: In their affliction, they will seek me early, (earnestly) Hos. 5:15.

I will purge out the rebels
Read the whole 20th chapter of Ezekiel and in verse 38, God tells, "I will purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am the LORD." Once again in the context of the tribulation period God says, "All the sinners of My people will die by the sword, those who say, 'The calamity will not overtake or confront us" Amos 9:10. Finally God says, "It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem" (those that endure to the end) Isa. 4:3.

The believing remnant of Israel "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. "Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! "For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE
LORD!" Matt; 23:37-39. Still talking to and about Israel, Jesus said, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you and ye shall be hated of all nations (Gentiles)... But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved " 13. Only the believing remnant of Israel shall remain, endure to the end, and then "all Israel shall be saved." The whole context of Matt. 24 is clear they are talking about the Great Tribulation.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem
We should pray over Jerusalem, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper who love you" Ps. 122:6. Pray like Paul, who said, "Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation" Rom.10:1. God said it, "you will prosper!  " Don't be blinded by false teaching. He is not talking about prospering financially but spiritually.

O dear people, we must get in on what God is doing. He is doing all He can to get the gospel to "every creature." We must do all we can to get the gospel to the very last person. It has been my joy to lead many people to Christ here in America who said, "I never heard it like that before." And they are talking about the gospel, that Christ died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again.

Prayer:  Father bless your dear people reading this and help us to love Israel, pray for them and share the good news with them. In Jesus name.

Another VERY bright spot during the Tribulation

"And so all Israel will be saved" Rom 11:26. Sumner, you mean literally? YES. You say that is impossible. Oh no. Nothing is impossible with God. In fact nothing is even hard for God. For He, Jehovah, alone is GOD.

 

Romans 11 is pivotal, it is fabulous. "I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be!...God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew " Vss. 1,2. "But as for Israel He says, "ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE" 10:21.

 

Israel rejected their Messiah

In spite of all the prophecies fulfilled, in spite of all of the miracles Jesus did, in spite of all the proof showing He was the messiah, Israel rejected their Messiah. What did God do? He turned to the Gentiles, YOU AND ME. God says it this way, "I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous" 11:11.

Do you realize what this means? You and I are the recipients of the grace of God because His chosen people, Israel, were "disobedient," mistreated Him and turned Him down. Awesome, isn't it? BUT, the rest of the story is "Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!" vs. 12. Their "fullness" is when "all Israel will be saved." Details of "all Israel shall be saved" comes soon. Don't miss it.

 

The warning

"For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either" 11:21. AMERICA, wake up. World, you had better wake up. The Christian world is turning from God instead of to God and "the fullness of the Gentiles" is about to come in and God is about to turn back to Israel. Details to come. "ALL ISRAELWILL BE SAVED."

 

O, dear people, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper who love Israel" THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU HATE ARABS. Heavens no. We must love them and pray for them as well but there is a special blessing to those who love Israel. That dear people is why God has blessed America. We have welcomed and loved Israel and don't forget it. All because of Calvary, sumner

 

Prayer:  Father, thank You that we gentiles have been grafted in and for the most part are being saved more so than Israel. We are grateful. In Jesus name.
