Israels Future
Jesus said that when He comes back; He will set His foot on the Mount of Olives, and all of Israel’s enemies will be destroyed! He said that when He appears, Israel will look on Him and mourn or repent! Seeing His hands and His feet they will know that this is the one and true Messiah of Israel.
Oh what a wonderful day that will be. The day seems to be so much closer than we ever imagined. There have been wars and rumors of wars forever, and I will be the first to admit that, however so many things are in line right now, that the thrill of seeing Yeshua come on the clouds of glory and hearing that trumpet sound is so real! It is almost at the door!
Do we suppose that because evil men did evil things in Jesus name, that He is the enemy of Israel? Yeshua is certainly not the enemy of Israel. He will be their defender. He is in love with and desires Israel. He wept for her as a mother does her children. His heart has not changed toward the apple of His eye.
Those who marched under the cross against Israel during the crusades were not Christian. They were possessed by the devil and full of evil! They had no understanding of the plan of salvation! Or how G-d chose to use the people of Israel to bring Messiah into the world!
G-d spoke to Abraham and asked Him to give his only son! He said now take your only son Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice to me. Abraham, being G-ds friend would deny Him nothing. Because Abraham obeyed, G-d stopped him just in time, and gave him back his son.
Is it a surprise that much later, G-d sent His only begotten son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for the children of Abraham and through Him, the whole world? Oh and is it not like G-d to offer Him up on the same mountain. And not only that but He raised Him up alive again, to receive Him back to Himself, where He ever lives to make intercession for us.
Please read the scriptures below! Romans the 11th chapter says it so well. Much of what has taken place with Israel was G-ds plan, so that He might have mercy on all of us. If the Jewish people had readily accepted Him, we would forever be in that lost condition! We were without G-d, without hope and destitute of the wisdom and holiness of G-d. Now He can have mercy on all men and we can be grafted into the true vine through faith in Messiah. These scriptures contain Strongs numbers for easier Bible study!
Rom 11:1 I say3004 then, 3767 Hath (3361) God2316 cast away683 his848 people? 2992 God forbid.1096, 3361 For1063 I1473 also2532 am1510 an Israelite, 2475 of1537 the seed4690 of Abraham, 11 of the tribe5443 of Benjamin.958
Rom 11:2 God2316 hath not3756 cast away683 his848 people2992 which3739 he foreknew.4267, (2228) Wot1492 ye not3756 what5101 the3588 Scripture1124 saith3004 of1722 Elijah? 2243 how5613 he maketh intercession1793 to God2316 against2596 Israel, 2474 saying, 3004
Rom 11:3 Lord, 2962 they have killed615 thy4675 prophets, 4396 and2532 digged down2679 thine4675 altars; 2379 and I2504 am left5275 alone, 3441 and2532 they seek2212 my3450 life.5590
Rom 11:4 But235 what5101 saith3004 the3588 answer of God5538 unto him? 846 I have reserved2641 to myself1683 seven thousand2035 men, 435 who3748 have not3756 bowed2578 the knee1119 to the image of Baal.896
Rom 11:5 Even so3779 then3767 at1722 this present3568 time2540 also2532 there is1096 a remnant3005 according2596 to the election1589 of grace.5485
Rom 11:6 And1161 if1487 by grace, 5485 then is it no more3765 of1537 works: 2041 otherwise1893 grace5485 is1096 no more3765 grace.5485 But1161 if1487 it be of1537 works, 2041 then is2076 it no more3765 grace: 5485 otherwise1893 work2041 is2076 no more3765 work.2041
Rom 11:7 What5101 then? 3767 Israel2474 hath (5127) not3756 obtained2013 that which3739 he seeketh for; 1934 but1161 the3588 election1589 hath obtained2013 it, and1161 the3588 rest3062 were blinded.4456
Rom 11:8 (According as2531 it is written,1125 God2316 hath given1325 them846 the spirit4151 of slumber,2659 eyes3788 that they should not3361 see,991 and2532 ears3775 that they should not 3361 hear )191 unto2193 this4594 day.2250
Rom 11:9 And2532 David1138 saith, 3004 Let their848 table5132 be made1096 a(1519) snare,3803 and2532 a (1519) trap,2339 and2532 a(1519) stumblingblock, 4625 and2532 a (1519) recompense468 unto them:846
Rom 11:10 Let their848 eyes3788 be darkened, 4654 that they may not3361 see, 991 and2532 bow down4781 their848 back3577 always.1275
Rom 11:11 I say3004 then, 3767 Have they (3361) stumbled4417 that2443 they should fall? 4098 God forbid: 1096, 3361 but235 rather through their848 fall3900 salvation4991 is come unto the3588 Gentiles, 1484 for to provoke them to jealousy.3863, 846
Rom 11:12 Now1161 if1487 the3588 fall3900 of them848 be the riches4149 of the world, 2889 and2532 the3588 diminishing2275 of them848 the riches4149 of the Gentiles; 1484 how much4214 more3123 their848 fullness? 4138
Rom 11:13 For1063 I speak3004 to you5213 Gentiles, 1484 inasmuch as1909, 3745, 3303 I1473 am1510 the apostle652 of the Gentiles, 1484 I magnify1392 mine3450 office: 1248
Rom 11:14 if by any means1513 I may provoke to emulation3863 them which are my3450 flesh, 4561 and2532 might save4982 some5100 of1537 them.846
Rom 11:15 For1063 if1487 the3588 casting away580 of them846 be the reconciling2643 of the world, 2889 what5101 shall the3588 receiving4356 of them be, but1508 life2222 from1537 the dead? 3498
Rom 11:16 For1161 if1487 the3588 firstfruit536 be holy, 40 the3588 lump5445 is also2532 holy: and2532 if1487 the3588 root4491 be holy, 40 so2532 are the3588 branches.2798
Rom 11:17 And1161 if1487 some5100 of the3588 branches2798 be broken off, 1575 and1161 thou, 4771 being5607 a wild olive tree, 65 wert grafted in1461 among1722 them, 846 and2532 with them (1096) partakest4791 of the3588 root4491 and2532 fatness4096 of the3588 olive tree; 1636
Rom 11:18 Boast not against2620, 3361 the3588 branches.2798 But1161 if1487 thou boast,2620 thou4771 bearest941 not3756 the3588 root,4491 but235 the3588 root4491 thee.4571
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say2046 then, 3767 The3588 branches2798 were broken off, 1575 that2443 I1473 might be grafted in.1461
Rom 11:20 well; 2573 because of unbelief570 they were broken off, 1575 and1161 thou4771 standest2476 by faith.4102 be not highminded, 5309, 3361 but235 fear: 5399
Rom 11:21 For1063 if1487 God2316 spared5339 not3756 the3588 natural2596, 5449 branches, 2798 take heed lest3381 he also spare5339 not3761 thee.4675
Rom 11:22 Behold1492 therefore3767 the goodness5544 and2532 severity663 of God: 2316 on1909, (3303) them which fell, 4098 severity; 663 but1161 toward1909 thee, 4571 goodness, 5544 if1437 thou continue in1961 his goodness: 5544 otherwise1893 thou4771 also2532 shalt be cut off.1581
Rom 11:23 And1161 they1565 also, 2532 if they abide not3362, 1961 still in unbelief, 570 shall be grafted in: 1461 for1063 God2316 is2076 able1415 to graft them in1461, 846 again.3825
Rom 11:24 For1063 if1487 thou4771 wert cut1581 out1537 of the3588 olive tree which is wild65 by2596 nature, 5449 and2532 wert grafted1461 contrary3844 to nature5449 into1519 a good olive tree: 2565 how much4214 more3123 shall these, 3778 which3588 be the natural2596, 5449 branches, be grafted into1461 their own2398 olive tree? 1636
Rom 11:25 For1063 I would2309 not,3756 brethren,80 that ye5209 should be ignorant50 of this5124 mystery,3466 lest3363 ye should be5600 wise5429 in3844 your own conceits;1438 that3754 blindness4457 in575 part3313 is happened1096 to Israel,2474 until891, 3757 the3588 fullness4138 of the3588 Gentiles1484 be come in.1525
Rom 11:26 And2532 so3779 all3956 Israel2474 shall be saved: 4982 as2531 it is written, 1125 There shall come2240 out of1537 Zion4622 the3588 Deliverer, and 4506 and2532 shall turn away654 ungodliness763 from575 Jacob: 2384
Rom 11:27 For2532 this3778 is (3844) my1700 covenant1242 unto them, 846 when3752 I shall take away851 their848 sins.266
Rom 11:28 As concerning2596, (3303) the3588 gospel, 2098 they are enemies2190 for your sakes: 1223, 5209 but1161 as touching2596 the3588 election, 1589 they are beloved27 for the fathers' sakes.1223, 3588, 3962
Rom 11:29 For1063 the3588 gifts5486 and2532 calling2821 of God2316 are without repentance.278
Rom 11:30 For1063 as5618 ye5210 in times past4218 have (2532) not believed544 God, 2316 yet1161 have now3568 obtained mercy1653 through their5130 unbelief: 543
Rom 11:31 Even so3779 have these3778 also2532 now3568 not believed, 544 that2443 through your5212 mercy1656 they846 also2532 may obtain mercy.1653
Rom 11:32 For1063 God2316 hath concluded4788 them all3956 in1519 unbelief, 543 that2443 he might have mercy1653 upon all.3956
Rom 11:33 O5599 the depth899 of the riches4149 both2532 of the wisdom4678 and2532 knowledge1108 of God! 2316 how5613 unsearchable419 are his848 judgments, 2917 and2532 his848 ways3598 past finding out! 421
Rom 11:34 For1063 who5101 hath known1097 the mind3563 of the Lord? 2962 or2228 who5101 hath been1096 his848 counselor? 4825
Rom 11:35 Or2228 who5101 hath first given4272 to him, 846 and2532 it shall be recompensed467 unto him846 again?
Rom 11:36 For3754 of1537 him, 846 and2532 through1223 him, 846 and2532 to1519 him, 846 are all things: 3956 to whom846 be glory1391 forever.1519, 165 Amen.281
