"All Israel Will Be Saved"

Two weeks ago our message was titled "Is Anything Too Difficult For Our God?" We came to the realization that NO, absolutely nothing is too difficult for Our God.This week's message could be considered Chapter 2 of the same message but from a different viewpoint.

Let us start by thanking all those who prayed for our move to our new home.We had a very successful move and now we are living in a beautiful downsized home with no leaves to rake or bushes to trim. Our God Is Good All The Time.

This message is based on Romans 11:26 the short but very important and powerful statement which says, "All Israel Will Be Saved." What does this mean and equally important what will cause this to happen? Many bible scholars believe this brief statement means that at a point in time in the future ALL of God's original chosen people will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Additionally, it will happen on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem as they recognize Jesus as "The One Whom They Have Pierced." Zechariah 12:10.

This raises the very important question of how could this possibly  happen? Why would all of God's chosen people move to Israel? Could a factor be that anti-semitism world wide has increased dramatically? We can look at the United States as a prime example. Since January, Jewish community centers have received 140 bomb threats, Jewish cemeteries in three cities have had hundreds of grave stones defaced, college campuses throughout the United States have become unsafe places for Jewish students. For their safety, Jews might have to move to Israel. 

In closing, let us raise the other important question - How could ALL the Jews be saved? A number of years ago, I was the Head Elder of a church in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Elders for many months tried to interpret a certain passage of scripture without any success. Finally, our Pastor said, "This is simply God being God!" As we try to rationalize All Israel Being Saved On The Mount Of Olives, could we conclude this is simply God being God?

Keep Praying For Israel And The Jewish People! Amen And Amen!

  

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
