In this age in which we live, false teachers have emerged in church pulpits and Sunday School Classrooms. However, we should not be surprised because 2 Peter 2:1 says, "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies." A common false teaching for us to be aware of is that God has abandoned Israel and the Jewish people. This is totally false and cannot be found in the Word of God. Let us investigate further.
"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." Romans 1:16. Salvation is for the Jew first! There certainly is no abandonment by God for the Jews in this bold declaration of His Word.
Next, we should look at Romans 11:26 that can be easily overlooked since it is a very short verse but an extremely important message from our God, "All Israel will be saved." At the end of the Tribulation Period, as Jesus stands on the Mount of Olives upon His return to earth, Zechariah 14:4, the people of Israel will "look on whom they have pierced and will mourn," Zechariah 12:10. In this mourning process they will recognize Jesus as their Messiah and all of them will be saved. Hallelujah! Certainly, God will not abandon Israel or the Jewish people.
Well, what is the future for Israel beyond the Tribulation Period? "Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets." Zechariah 8:4-5. Additionally, "In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man saying, 'let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."' Zechariah 8:23.
Jesus Will Rule From His Capital Jerusalem, The City Of The King.
May The Lord Bless You This Day And Every Day,
