"All Israel Will Be Saved" - Part Eleven

This message will be the conclusion of an in-depth series of messages entitled "All Israel Will Be Saved." Each message used as a source sections of the Book of Isaiah all prophesying that a day is coming when "All Israel Will Be Saved."

We are concluding this series by looking at Romans 11 explaining the majority of God's Covenant People have rejected Jesus as their Messiah. Romans 11:1,2 shows the Apostle Paul saying, "I say then, has God cast away His People? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His People whom He foreknew." Paul wants everyone to know at the start of Romans 11 God has not cast away His People since their not knowing Jesus as their Messiah is a temporary scenario!

Why have they rejected Jesus over the last 2,000 years? Romans 11:5-7 says, "Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work."

What are these challenging and important verses saying about the current stratus of the Jewish People? An individual can only receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through grace and not by works. What is grace? Grace is accepting the finished work of Jesus dying on a cross and rising again through faith and not by their works. The majority of Israelites are trying to work out salvation through the work of their own righteousness. {Romans 10:31,32}

It is time to conclude this series of messages with Good News - All Israel Will Be Saved! Romans 11:26,27 says, "And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written; 'The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins,'"

How and when will this happen? It is believed it will happen at the end of the Tribulation Period when Jesus physically returns to earth. Zechariah 14:3,4 describe Jesus defeating the enemy of Jerusalem and then "Standing On The Mount Of Olives." Please notice Zechariah 12:10 describes God's Covenant People who have returned from all over the world "Looking on Jesus as the one they pierced" and  then recognizing Him as their Messiah and Savior! Amen and Amen!

GRACE . . . God's Reward At Christ's Expense!

"All Israel Will Be Saved" - Part Ten

Last week's message concentrated on the first two and last two verses of Isaiah 62. We learned this chapter has many messages but the most important is to encourage God's people to pray continually for the salvation of the Jewish People. Isaiah 62 illustrates this happening in the future and this has been the theme of this series.

Isaiah 62:1 says, "For Zion's Sake I will not hold My peace." There is a second meaning to Isaiah 62:1 that can be easily overlooked. Notice My is capitalized meaning it refers to the Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in this case it is referring to Jesus who was the speaker of Isaiah 61 and continues to be the speaker of Isaiah 62. Bless His Holy Name!

Why is this important? Isaiah 62:1 actually has a twofold meaning. It is encouraging us to pray for the salvation of the Jewish People worldwide. Also, we need to realize that all these prayers go through Jesus our intercessor straight to the Throne Of God. As a result, Isaiah 62:1 is showing us that Jesus is praying continually for the salvation of the Jewish People and our prayers are an important ingredient in this process. Is anything too difficult for our God?

There is another important message in Isaiah 62 is which verse 6 says, "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem." Please remember Jesus is the speaker of Isaiah 62 as He says, "I have set watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem." The watchmen's calling from God is to be ever looking for approaching danger to Jerusalem. As watchmen, we are to pray continually against this occurrence.

Currently, the people of Jerusalem and all of Israel need our prayers for God's hand of protection from their enemies. We ask you to be a Watchmen On The Walls Of Jerusalem During These Difficult Days As We Proclaim . . .

"All Israel Will Be Saved" - Part Nine

Isaiah 62:1,2 says, "For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness." Isaiah 62 is entitled "Future Of Jerusalem." As a result, people probably come to the conclusion that Isaiah 62 is about the physical city of Jerusalem. However, we believe the main theme of this chapter is still about the Israelites recognizing Jesus as their Messiah and Savior.

Please take note from Isaiah 62:1 saying "Jerusalem's righteousness will go forth and salvation will burn as a lamp." Righteousness and salvation cannot go forth or shine unless people spread them around the world. A person cannot be righteous unless their sins have been forgiven through accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah!

Isaiah 62:1 also says "For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem 's sake I will not rest." "Hold My Peace" actually means I will not be silent. This verse is an encouragement and a calling from Jehovah God for all of us who love Israel to pray without ceasing for the salvation of the Jewish people worldwide. Isaiah 62:1 has been the theme verse of For Zion's Sake Ministry since it began in November of 2011. Bless His Holy Name! 

Isaiah 62 is a powerful, interesting, challenging and uplifting chapter. The chapter starts by encouraging all people to pray for God's Covenant People; then says God's Covenant People will be missionaries and concludes by saying to God's Covenant people your salvation is in the future. One of our recent messages showed in Isaiah 55:9 "God's Ways Are Higher Than Our Ways." 

In conclusion, Isaiah 62:11,12 says, "Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world; say to the daughter of Zion, surely your salvation is coming . . . And they shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed Of The Lord." These verses illustrate, without a doubt, salvation is coming to the Israelites and they will be called "Holy People" and "The Redeemed Of The Lord." Amen and Amen!

"All Israel Will Be Saved" - Part Eight

Our message this week is the eighth in a series entitled "All Israel Will Be Saved." This only can happen when God's Covenant People recognize Jesus as their Messiah and receive Him as their Savior. Most Bible Scholars believe this will happen at the end of the Tribulation Period when Jesus physically returns to earth. Hallelujah!

As a result, we feel it appropriate to look at how Jehovah God called and anointed Jesus to be The Savior of the world. Isaiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18 show Jesus speaking to His people proclaiming His mission from God, "The Spirit of The Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captive and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Bless His Holy Name!

Luke 4 shows Jesus returning to Nazareth where He grew up after being tempted by Satan in the wilderness for 40 days. He went to the Synagogue on the Sabbath and read Isaiah 61:1. Please notice the first proclamation by Jesus is "The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me." This was His anointing from God that empowered Him to accomplish His mission as outlined in Luke 4:18. This mission fell into three main categories: 

To Preach The Gospel Of Salvation

To Heal The Sick

To Deliver The Oppressed

Very Important ~ Luke 4:21 then shows Jesus saying, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." Jesus is proclaiming that His Calling from God is complete; He has been anointed by God and now He will complete His Mission. The remainder of Luke 4 illustrates Jesus casting out demons; healing the sick and preaching the Gospel Message! Amen and Amen! 

In conclusion, Luke 4 also shows the majority of God's Covenant People rejecting Jesus. Unfortunately this is still happening today. However, the day is coming when "All Israel Will Be Saved." {Romans 11:26} 

We Proclaim That ALL Of God's Prophetic Word:

Has Happened In The Past 

Is Happening In The Present 

Will Happen In The Future

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care,
