Nur ein Überrest der Israeliten, die an den Messias glauben, wird gerettet werden

Kinder Gottes sind nicht diejenigen, die durch eine leibliche Geburt geboren werden, sondern diejenigen, die durch eine Geburt, die von Gott kommt, durch den Glauben an seinen Sohn Jesus Christus (den Messias) wiedergeboren werden, unabhängig davon, ob sie Juden oder Heiden sind:

Johannes 1,11-13 ESV
[11] Er [Jesus] kam in sein Eigentum [Israel], und die Seinen nahmen ihn nicht auf. [12] Allen aber, die ihn aufnahmen und an seinen Namen glaubten, gab er Macht, Kinder Gottes zu werden, [13] die nicht aus dem Blut, noch aus dem Willen des Fleisches, noch aus dem Willen des Mannes, sondern aus Gott geboren sind.

Jesus sagte einst zu den Juden, die weder auf ihn noch auf die Worte Gottes hörten, dass sie nicht von Gott, sondern von ihrem Vater, dem Teufel, dem Vater der Lüge, seien. Dies beweist eindeutig, dass nicht alle Juden gerettet werden, nur weil sie genetisch Juden sind. Nur diejenigen, die aufrichtig glauben, dass Jesus der von Gott gesandte Herr und Messias ist:

Johannes 8,41-47 ESV
[41] (Jesus:) Ihr tut die Werke eures Vaters. Sie (die Juden) sagten zu ihm: „Wir sind nicht aus Unzucht geboren. Wir haben einen Vater – Gott.“
     [42] Jesus sagte zu ihnen: „Wenn Gott euer Vater wäre, würdet ihr mich lieben, denn ich bin von Gott gekommen und bin hier. Ich bin nicht von mir selbst gekommen, sondern er hat mich gesandt. [43] Warum versteht ihr nicht, was ich sage? Weil ihr es nicht ertragen könnt, mein Wort zu hören.
     [44] Ihr seid aus dem Vater, dem Teufel, und wollt die Begierden eures Vaters tun. Er war ein Mörder von Anfang an und steht nicht in der Wahrheit, weil die Wahrheit nicht in ihm ist. Wenn er lügt, spricht er aus seinem eigenen Charakter, denn er ist ein Lügner und der Vater der Lüge. [45] Aber weil ich die Wahrheit sage, glaubt ihr mir nicht. [46] Wer von euch überführt mich einer Sünde? Wenn ich die Wahrheit sage, warum glaubt ihr mir nicht?
     [47] Wer von Gott ist, hört die Worte Gottes. Der Grund, warum ihr sie nicht hört, ist, dass ihr nicht von Gott seid.“

Moses sprach mit dem jüdischen Volk über die Ankunft eines weiteren Propheten wie ihm. Er sprach vom Kommen des Messias. Und er sagte weiter, dass jeder Jude, der nicht auf den Messias hört, aus dem Volk Gottes ausgeschlossen wird:

Apostelgeschichte 3,22-23 ESV
[22] Mose sagte: „Gott der Herr wird euch einen Propheten (den Messias) wie mich aus euren Brüdern erwecken. Ihr sollt auf ihn hören in allem, was er euch sagt. [23] Und es wird geschehen, dass jede Seele, die nicht auf diesen Propheten hört, aus dem Volk ausgerottet wird.“

Die Apostel Petrus und Johannes sprachen mit Überzeugung und Mut, als sie von den jüdischen Religionsführern verhaftet wurden, weil sie einen gelähmten Mann geheilt hatten. Sie sagten, dass es für Juden keine Erlösung gebe außer durch den Glauben an Jesus, den Messias:

Apostelgeschichte 4,11-12 ESV

[11] Dieser Jesus ist der Stein, den ihr (die Juden), die Bauleute, verworfen habt, der zum Eckstein geworden ist. [12] Und in keinem anderen ist das Heil, denn es ist den Menschen kein anderer Name unter dem Himmel gegeben, durch den wir gerettet werden sollen.“

Der Geist der Juden war verhärtet, und deshalb können sie bis heute die Wahrheit des Wortes Gottes nicht verstehen, wenn sie die Heilige Schrift lesen. Doch sobald sie glauben und sich dem Herrn Jesus zuwenden, wird der Schleier von ihren Augen gelüftet:

2. Korinther 3,14-16 ESV

[14] Doch ihr (jüdisches) Herz war verhärtet. Denn bis heute, wenn sie den Alten Bund lesen, bleibt dieser Schleier ungelöst, weil er nur durch Christus weggenommen wird. [15] Ja, bis heute liegt, wenn Mose gelesen wird, ein Schleier auf ihren Herzen. [16] Doch wenn man sich dem Herrn [Jesus] zuwendet, wird der Schleier weggenommen.

Der Apostel Paulus erklärt in Römer Kapitel 9, dass die Heiden, die Gottes Gesetz nicht befolgten, durch ihren Glauben an Jesus vor Gott ins Reine kamen. Die Israeliten hingegen, die das Gesetz hielten, kamen nicht vor Gott ins Reine, weil sie nicht auf den Messias vertrauten:

Römer 9,30-33 ESV

[30] Was sollen wir nun sagen? Dass die Heiden, die nicht nach Gerechtigkeit strebten, sie erlangt haben, nämlich eine Gerechtigkeit aus Glauben; [31] dass aber die Israeliten, die nach dem Gesetz strebten, das zur Gerechtigkeit führen sollte, dieses Gesetz nicht erreichten.

[32] Warum? Weil sie nicht aus Glauben danach strebten, sondern so, als gründe sich die Gerechtigkeit auf Werke. Sie sind über den Stein des Anstoßes (den Messias) gestolpert, [33] wie geschrieben steht: „Siehe, ich lege in Zion einen Stein des Anstoßes und einen Fels des Ärgernisses; und wer an ihn glaubt, wird nicht zuschanden werden.“

Der Apostel Petrus schreibt, dass wir (ob Juden oder Heiden) glauben und zu Jesus kommen – dem lebendigen Eckstein des Tempels Gottes, der von seinem Volk verworfen, von Gott aber zu großer Ehre erwählt wurde –, dann zu lebendigen Steinen, auserwähltem Volk und heiligen Priestern Gottes des Vaters werden, um ihm durch die Vermittlung Jesu, seines Sohnes und Messias, fortwährend geistliche Opfer darzubringen:

1. Petrus 2,4-8 ESV

[4] Wenn ihr zu ihm (Jesus) kommt, dem lebendigen Stein, der von den Menschen verworfen, aber in den Augen Gottes auserwählt und kostbar ist, [5] werdet ihr selbst als lebendige Steine aufgebaut zu einem geistlichen Haus, zu einer heiligen Priesterschaft, um geistliche Opfer darzubringen, die Gott durch Jesus Christus wohlgefällig sind.

[6] Denn in der Schrift steht: „Siehe, ich lege in Zion einen Stein, einen auserwählten und kostbaren Eckstein, und wer an ihn glaubt, wird nicht zuschanden werden.“

[7] Die Ehre gebührt euch, die ihr glaubt. Den Ungläubigen aber gilt: „Der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, ist zum Eckstein geworden“ [8] und „ein Stein des Anstoßes und ein Fels des Ärgernisses“. Sie stolpern, weil sie dem Wort nicht gehorchen, wie es ihnen bestimmt war.

Der gesamte Rest der Israeliten wird gerettet, nachdem der gesamte Rest der Heiden gerettet ist

Paulus schreibt in Römer 11,25-26: „Einige aus dem Volk Israel (diejenigen, die noch nicht Buße getan und durch den Glauben an Christus Jesus gerettet wurden) haben ihr Herz verhärtet.“ Aber sie werden gerettet, nachdem die Heiden (der Rest der Nichtisraeliten, die Buße tun und durch den Glauben an Jesus gerettet werden) in die Gemeinschaft aufgenommen wurden. Deshalb sagt Paulus weiter: „Dann wird ganz Israel (der gesamte Rest der Israeliten, die Buße tun und an Christus glauben) gerettet werden.“ Und dann fügt er hinzu, dass Gott das Volk Israel nicht verworfen hat, weil er die Vorfahren Abraham, Isaak und Jakob erwählt hat. (Römer 11,1-10.28-29)

Römer 11,25-27 ESV

[25] Damit ihr euch nicht für weise haltet, Brüder, möchte ich euch dieses Geheimnis nicht verborgen halten: Verstockung ist zum Teil über Israel gekommen, bis die Fülle der Heiden eingegangen ist. [26] Und so wird ganz Israel gerettet werden, wie geschrieben steht: „Der Erlöser wird aus Zion kommen, er wird die Gottlosigkeit aus Jakob vertreiben“; [27] „und dies wird mein Bund mit ihnen sein, wenn ich ihre Sünden wegnehme.“

Nicht ganz Israel wird gerettet. Nur ein Rest der Israeliten wird Buße tun und gerettet werden, so wie nur ein Rest der Heiden Buße tun und gerettet werden wird. Paulus sagt in Römer 9,26 unter Berufung auf die Prophezeiung aus Jesaja 10,22: „Obwohl die Kinder Israels so zahlreich sind wie der Sand am Meer, wird nur ein Rest gerettet werden.“

Hier ist eine gute Passage in Micha 2,12, die bestätigt und verdeutlicht, was Paulus in Römer 11,26 meinte: „Ganz Israel wird gerettet werden“, was in Wirklichkeit bedeutet, dass der ganze Rest Israels, der Buße tut und an Christus glaubt, gerettet wird:

Micha 2,12 ESV

[12] Ich will dich, Jakob, ganz versammeln, den Rest Israels zusammenbringen, ich will sie zusammenbringen wie Schafe in einen Pferch, wie eine Herde auf ihrer Weide, eine lärmende Menschenmenge.

Paulus schreibt in Römer Kapitel 11 weiter:

Römer 11,28-32 ESV

[28] Was das Evangelium betrifft, sind sie Feinde um euretwillen. Aber was die Erwählung betrifft, sind sie Geliebte um der Väter willen. [29] Denn die Gaben und die Berufung Gottes sind unwiderruflich. [30] Denn wie ihr einst Gott ungehorsam wart, jetzt aber um ihres Ungehorsams willen Erbarmen gefunden habt, [31] so waren auch sie jetzt ungehorsam, damit sie durch die euch erwiesene Barmherzigkeit nun auch Erbarmen finden. [32] Denn Gott hat alle dem Ungehorsam überantwortet, um sich aller (Juden und Heiden) zu erbarmen.

Hier oben heißt es, dass Gott sich ALLER erbarmen wird, ob Juden oder Heiden. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass alle Heiden und Juden gerettet werden. Nur diejenigen, die arm im Geiste sind, die Sanftmütigen, die Barmherzigen, die nach Gerechtigkeit hungern und dürsten, die reinen Herzens sind und die Frieden stiften, werden gerettet und Kinder Gottes genannt. (Siehe Matthäus 5:1-9.) Nur diejenigen, ob Juden oder Heiden, die an Jesus Christus glauben und ihn als ihren Herrn und persönlichen Erlöser annehmen, werden als Kinder Gottes angenommen. (Siehe Johannes 1:12-13; Römer 10:8-13.)

Wann wird der gesamte Rest der Heiden und Israeliten gerettet werden?

Die folgenden Verse bestätigen, dass dies im Moment der Entrückung unmittelbar nach der Großen Trübsal oder Angst, die der Antichrist verübt, geschehen wird. Dann wird JEDER MENSCH auf der Welt JESUS CHRISTUS aus den Wolken des Himmels kommen sehen und trauern, einschließlich derer, die ihn durchbohrt oder gekreuzigt haben – die Juden.

Jesaja 59,20-21 ESV
[20] „Und ein Erlöser (Jesus) wird nach Zion kommen, für diejenigen in Jakob, die sich von der Übertretung (Sünde) abwenden“, spricht der Herr.
    [21] Und dies ist mein Bund mit ihnen, spricht der Herr: Mein Geist, der auf dir ruht, und meine Worte, die ich in deinen Mund gelegt habe, sollen nicht von deinem Mund weichen, noch von dem Mund deiner Nachkommen, noch von den Nachkommen deiner Kinder, spricht der Herr, von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.

Sacharja 12,9-10 ESV
[9] Und an jenem Tag werde ich alle Völker vernichten wollen, die gegen Jerusalem ziehen.
    [10] Und ich werde über das Haus David und die Einwohner Jerusalems den Geist der Gnade und des Flehens ausgießen, sodass sie, wenn sie auf mich schauen, auf den (Jesus), den sie durchbohrt haben, um ihn trauern werden, wie man um ein einziges Kind trauert, und bitterlich um ihn weinen werden, wie man um einen Erstgeborenen weint.

Matthäus 24,29-31 ESV
[29] „Unmittelbar nach der [großen] Bedrängnis jener Tage wird die Sonne sich verfinstern und der Mond seinen Schein verlieren, und die Sterne werden vom Himmel fallen, und die Kräfte des Himmels werden wird erschüttert werden.
    [30] Dann wird das Zeichen des Menschensohnes (Jesus Christus) am Himmel erscheinen, und dann werden alle Geschlechter der Erde klagen und den Menschensohn mit großer Macht und Herrlichkeit auf den Wolken des Himmels kommen sehen. [31] Und er wird seine Engel mit lautem Posaunenschall aussenden, und sie werden seine Auserwählten [aus aller Welt] versammeln, von den vier Winden [der Erde], von einem Ende des Himmels bis zum anderen.

Offenbarung 1,7 ESV
[7] Siehe, er (Jesus) kommt mit den Wolken, und jedes Auge wird ihn sehen, auch die, die ihn durchbohrt (gekreuzigt) haben, und alle Geschlechter der Erde werden seinetwegen wehklagen. Ja, so ist es. Amen.

Offenbarung 14:9-16 ESV
[9] Und ein dritter Engel folgte ihnen und rief mit lauter Stimme: „Wenn jemand das Tier (den Antichristen) und sein Bild anbetet und ein Malzeichen auf seiner Stirn oder auf seiner Hand annimmt, [10] wird auch er den Wein des Zorns Gottes trinken, unvermischt in den Kelch seines Zorns, und er wird mit Feuer und Schwefel gequält werden vor den heiligen Engeln und vor dem Lamm. [11] Und der Rauch ihrer Qual steigt auf von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, und sie haben keine Ruhe, weder Tag noch Nacht, diese Anbeter des Tieres und seines Bildes und wer das Malzeichen seines Namens annimmt.“
    [12] Hier ist ein Aufruf zum Durchhalten der Heiligen, die die Gebote Gottes und ihren Glauben an Jesus bewahren. [13] Und ich hörte eine Stimme vom Himmel sagen: „Schreibe dies: Selig sind die Toten, die im Herrn sterben von nun an.“ „Selig sind sie“, spricht der Geist, „dass sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit; denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach!“
    [14] Und ich sah, und siehe, eine weiße Wolke. Und auf der Wolke saß einer, der aussah wie ein Menschensohn (Jesus Christus), mit einer goldenen Krone auf dem Haupt und einer scharfen Sichel in der Hand. [15] Und ein anderer Engel kam aus dem Tempel und rief dem, der auf der Wolke saß, mit lauter Stimme zu: „Schick deine Sichel an und ernte; denn die Stunde der Ernte ist gekommen, denn die Ernte der Erde ist reif.“ [16] Und der auf der Wolke saß, schwang seine Sichel über die Erde, und die Erde wurde abgeerntet.

Christen müssen das Evangelium Juden und Nichtjuden predigen, jetzt und überall

Es gibt keine Schriftstelle, die besagt, dass wir Juden helfen müssen, in das Land zurückzukehren, das Gott den Israeliten im Alten Bund oder Testament versprochen hat, damit sie glauben und gerettet werden. Tatsächlich wird jeder, auch die Juden, ihn kommen sehen, wenn Jesus, der Messias, wiederkommt.

Offenbarung 1,5-7 NIV
[5] Ihm, der uns liebt und uns durch sein Blut von unseren Sünden erlöst hat, [6] ihm, der uns zu Königen und Priestern gemacht hat, um seinem Gott und Vater zu dienen – ihm sei Ehre und Macht von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit! Amen.
    [7] Siehe, er kommt auf den Wolken! Alle werden ihn mit eigenen Augen sehen, selbst diejenigen, die ihn durchbohrt haben (die Juden). Und alle Völker der Erde werden um ihn trauern. So wird es sein! Amen.

Das heutige Israel Gottes ist kein physisches Land namens Israel. Israel ist Gottes auserwähltes Volk aus Heiden und Juden, die ihre Sünden bereuen und ihr Leben in der Taufe Jesus, dem Messias, übergeben.

Galater 3,26-29 NIV
[26] Ihr seid alle durch den Glauben Kinder Gottes an Christus Jesus. [27] Denn ihr alle, die ihr auf Christus getauft seid, habt Christus angezogen.
    [28] Es gibt weder Juden noch Griechen, weder Sklaven noch Freie, weder Mann noch Frau; denn ihr seid alle eins in Christus Jesus.
    [29] Und wenn ihr zu Christus gehört, dann seid ihr Abrahams Nachkommen und Erben gemäß der Verheißung.

Jesus wird zurückkehren, um 1000 Jahre lang über die ganze Erde zu herrschen, nicht nur über ein kleines Land wie den heutigen Staat Israel. Gott braucht uns nicht, um Juden in das physische Land Israel zu bringen. Dies ist nicht biblisch, sondern lediglich eine dogmatische Bibelauslegung.

Was Gott wirklich möchte, ist, dass wir das Evangelium der Erlösung durch Jesus Christus allen Juden predigen, wo immer sie auch sind. Die Juden müssen das Evangelium hören, damit einige jetzt gerettet werden können. Sie müssen es jetzt hören, damit viele glauben, dass Jesus der Messias ist, wenn er kommt und aus den Wolken herabsteigt.

Römer 10,14-17 NIV
[14] Wie sollen sie [die Israeliten] dann den anrufen, an den sie nicht geglaubt haben? Und wie sollen sie an den glauben, von dem sie nicht gehört haben? Und wie sollen sie hören, wenn niemand predigt? [15] Und wie sollen sie predigen, wenn sie nicht gesandt werden? Denn es steht geschrieben: „Wie lieblich sind die Füße derer, die gute Botschaft bringen!“
    [16] Doch nicht alle Israeliten nahmen die gute Botschaft an. Jesaja sagt: „Herr, wer hat unserer Botschaft geglaubt?“
    [17] Glaube kommt also aus dem Hören der Botschaft [die gepredigt wird], und die Botschaft, die gehört wird, ist das Wort Christi.

Seul un reste d’Israélites qui croient au Messie sera sauvé

Les enfants de Dieu ne sont pas ceux qui naissent d'une naissance physique, mais ceux qui naissent de nouveau d'une naissance divine par la foi en son Fils Jésus-Christ (le Messie), qu'ils soient Juifs ou Gentils :

Jean 1:11-13 LSG
[11] Il [Jésus] est venu chez les siens [Israël], et les siens ne l'ont pas reçu. [12] Mais à tous ceux qui l'ont reçu, à ceux qui croient en son nom, il a donné le pouvoir de devenir enfants de Dieu, [13] nés, non du sang, ni de la volonté de la chair, ni de la volonté de l'homme, mais de Dieu.

Jésus a dit un jour aux Juifs qui ne l'écoutaient pas et ne suivaient pas les paroles de Dieu : ils n'appartiennent pas à Dieu, mais à leur père, le diable, le père du mensonge. Cela prouve clairement que tous les Juifs ne seront pas sauvés simplement parce qu'ils sont juifs de naissance. Seuls ceux qui croient sincèrement que Jésus est le Seigneur et le Messie envoyé par Dieu :

Jean 8:41-47 LSG
[41] (Jésus) : Vous faites les œuvres de votre père. Ils (les Juifs) lui dirent : Nous ne sommes pas nés de l'immoralité sexuelle. Nous avons un seul Père, Dieu.
     [42] Jésus leur dit : Si Dieu était votre Père, vous m'aimeriez, car je suis sorti de Dieu et je suis ici. Je ne suis pas venu de moi-même, mais c'est lui qui m'a envoyé. [43] Pourquoi ne comprenez-vous pas ce que je dis ? C'est que vous ne pouvez pas supporter d'entendre ma parole.
     [44] Vous avez pour père le diable, et votre volonté est d'accomplir les désirs de votre père. Il a été meurtrier dès le commencement, et il ne se tient pas dans la vérité, parce qu'il n'y a pas de vérité en lui. Lorsqu'il ment, il parle selon son propre caractère, car il est menteur et le père du mensonge. [45] Mais parce que je dis la vérité, vous ne me croyez pas. [46] Qui de vous me convainc de péché ? Si je dis la vérité, pourquoi ne me croyez-vous pas ?
     [47] Celui qui est de Dieu écoute les paroles de Dieu. Si vous ne les écoutez pas, c'est que vous n'êtes pas de Dieu.

Moïse parla au peuple juif de la venue d'un autre prophète comme lui. En fait, il parlait de la venue du Messie. Et il continua en disant que tout Juif qui n'écoute pas le Messie sera exclu du peuple de Dieu :

Actes 3:22-23 LSG
[22] Moïse dit : « Le Seigneur Dieu vous suscitera d'entre vos frères un prophète (le Messie) comme moi. Vous l'écouterez dans tout ce qu'il vous dira. [23] Et toute personne qui n'écoutera pas ce prophète sera exterminée du peuple. »

Les apôtres Pierre et Jean ont parlé avec conviction et audace lorsqu'ils ont été arrêtés par les chefs religieux juifs pour avoir guéri un infirme, affirmant qu'il n'y a de salut pour les Juifs que par la foi en Jésus le Messie :

Actes 4:11-12 LSG

[11] Ce Jésus est la pierre rejetée par vous (les Juifs qui bâtissez), et qui est devenue la pierre angulaire. [12] Et il n'y a de salut en aucun autre ; car il n'y a sous le ciel aucun autre nom qui ait été donné parmi les hommes, par lequel nous devions être sauvés :

L'esprit des Juifs était endurci, et c'est pourquoi, encore aujourd'hui, ils ne peuvent comprendre la vérité de la Parole de Dieu lorsqu'ils lisent les Écritures. Mais dès qu'ils croiront et se tourneront vers le Seigneur Jésus, le voile de leurs yeux sera levé.

2 Corinthiens 3:14-16 LSG

[14] Mais leur esprit (celui des Juifs) était endurci. Car, jusqu'à ce jour, lorsqu'ils lisent l'ancienne alliance, ce même voile demeure non levé, car il n'est ôté que par Christ. [15] Et même, jusqu'à ce jour, chaque fois qu'on lit Moïse, un voile recouvre leur cœur. [16] Mais lorsqu'on se tourne vers le Seigneur [Jésus], le voile est ôté.

L'apôtre Paul explique dans Romains chapitre 9 que les Gentils, qui ne suivaient pas la Loi de Dieu, furent justifiés par Dieu grâce à leur foi en Jésus. Mais les Israélites, qui observaient la Loi, ne furent pas justifiés par Dieu pour n'avoir pas mis leur confiance dans le Messie :

Romains 9:30-33

[30] Que dirons-nous donc ? Les païens qui n'ont pas recherché la justice l'ont obtenue, c'est-à-dire la justice par la foi ; [31] mais Israël, qui a recherché une loi qui devait conduire à la justice, n'a pas réussi à l'obtenir.

[32] Pourquoi ? Parce qu'ils ne l'ont pas recherchée par la foi, mais comme si elle était fondée sur les œuvres. Ils ont trébuché sur la pierre d’achoppement (le Messie), [33] selon qu’il est écrit : « Voici, je mets en Sion une pierre d’achoppement et un rocher de scandale ; et quiconque croit en lui ne sera pas confus. »

L'apôtre Pierre écrit que lorsque nous (Juifs ou Gentils) croyons et venons à Jésus – pierre angulaire vivante du temple de Dieu, rejetée par son peuple, mais choisie par Dieu pour un grand honneur –, nous sommes alors transformés en pierres vivantes, peuple élu et saints sacrificateurs de Dieu le Père, pour lui offrir des sacrifices spirituels continuels par la médiation de Jésus, son Fils et Messie :

1 Pierre 2:4-8 LSG

[4] Approchez-vous de lui (Jésus), pierre vivante rejetée par les hommes, mais choisie et précieuse devant Dieu, [5] vous-mêmes, comme des pierres vivantes, édifiez-vous pour former une maison spirituelle, un saint sacerdoce, afin d'offrir des sacrifices spirituels, agréables à Dieu par Jésus-Christ.

[6] Car il est écrit dans l'Écriture : « Voici, je pose en Sion une pierre angulaire, choisie et précieuse, et quiconque croit en elle ne sera point confus. »

[7] L'honneur est donc pour vous qui croyez, mais pour ceux qui ne croient pas, « la pierre qu'ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient est devenue la pierre angulaire », [8] et « une pierre d'achoppement et un rocher de scandale ». Ils trébuchent parce qu'ils désobéissent à la parole, comme ils étaient destinés à le faire.

Tout le reste des Israélites sera sauvé après celui des Gentils

Paul écrit dans Romains 11:25-26 que « certains parmi le peuple d'Israël (ceux qui ne se sont pas encore repentis et sauvés par la foi en Jésus-Christ) ont endurci leur cœur ». Mais ils seront sauvés après l'arrivée des Gentils (le reste des non-Israélites qui se repentent et sont sauvés par la foi en Jésus). C'est pourquoi Paul poursuit en disant : « Alors tout Israël (tout le reste des Israélites qui se repentent et croient en Christ) sera sauvé. » Il ajoute ensuite que Dieu n'a pas rejeté le peuple d'Israël, car il a choisi les ancêtres Abraham, Isaac et Jacob. (Romains 11:1-10, 28-29)

Romains 11:25-27 LSG

[25] Pour que vous ne soyez pas sages à vos propres yeux, je ne veux pas que vous ignoriez ce mystère, frères : l’endurcissement est arrivé en partie à Israël, jusqu’à ce que la totalité des païens soit entrée. [26] Et ainsi tout Israël sera sauvé, selon qu’il est écrit : « Le libérateur viendra de Sion, il ôtera les impiétés de Jacob » ; [27] « Et ce sera là mon alliance avec eux, quand j’ôterai leurs péchés. »

Tout Israël ne sera pas sauvé. Seul un RESTE d’Israélites se repentira et sera sauvé, tout comme seul un reste de païens se repentira et sera sauvé. D’ailleurs, Paul dit dans Romains 9:26, citant la prophétie d’Ésaïe 10:22, que « même si les enfants d’Israël sont aussi nombreux que le sable du bord de la mer, seul un RESTE sera sauvé. »

Voici un excellent passage de Michée 2:12 qui confirme et clarifie ce que Paul mentionnait dans Romains 11:26 : « Tout Israël sera sauvé », ce qui signifie en fait que TOUT LE RESTE d’Israël qui se repent et croit en Christ sera sauvé :

Michée 2:12

[12] Je te rassemblerai tous, ô Jacob ; je rassemblerai le RESTE d’Israël ; je les rassemblerai comme des brebis dans un enclos, comme un troupeau dans son pâturage, une multitude d’hommes bruyants.

Paul poursuit dans Romains chapitre 11 :

Romains 11:28-32

[28] Pour ce qui est de l’Évangile, ils sont ennemis à cause de vous. Mais pour ce qui est de l’élection, ils sont bien-aimés à cause de leurs ancêtres. [29] Car les dons et l’appel de Dieu sont irrévocables. [30] Car, de même que vous avez autrefois désobéi à Dieu, et que, à cause de leur désobéissance, vous avez maintenant obtenu miséricorde, [31] de même, eux aussi ont maintenant désobéi, afin que, par la miséricorde qui vous a été faite, ils obtiennent maintenant miséricorde. [32] Car Dieu a tous livrés à la désobéissance, pour faire miséricorde à tous (Juifs et Gentils).

Il est dit plus haut que Dieu aura miséricorde à TOUS, qu'ils soient Juifs ou Gentils. Mais cela ne signifie pas que tous les Gentils et tous les Juifs seront sauvés. Seuls les pauvres d'esprit, les doux, les miséricordieux, ceux qui ont faim et soif de justice, les cœurs purs et les artisans de paix seront sauvés et appelés enfants de Dieu. (Voir Matthieu 5:1-9.) Seuls ceux, Juifs ou Gentils, qui croient et reçoivent Jésus-Christ comme leur Seigneur et Sauveur personnel, seront adoptés comme enfants de Dieu. (Voir Jean 1:12-13 ; Romains 10:8-13.)

Quand le reste des Gentils et des Israélites sera-t-il sauvé ?

Les versets suivants confirment que cela aura lieu au moment de l'Enlèvement, juste après la Grande Tribulation ou l'Angoisse perpétrée par l'Antéchrist, lorsque tous les habitants de la terre verront Jésus-Christ descendre des nuées du ciel et se lamenteront, y compris ceux qui l'ont percé ou crucifié : les Juifs.

Ésaïe 59:20-21 (LSG)
[20] « Il y aura un Rédempteur (Jésus) pour Sion, pour ceux de Jacob qui se convertiront de leurs transgressions (péchés), déclare l'Éternel. »
    [21] « Et voici mon alliance avec eux », dit l’Éternel : « Mon Esprit qui repose sur toi, et mes paroles que j’ai mises dans ta bouche, ne se retireront point de ta bouche, ni de la bouche de ta descendance, ni de la bouche de la descendance de tes fils, dit l’Éternel, dès maintenant et à jamais. »

Zacharie 12:9-10 LSG
[9] « En ce jour-là, je m’efforcerai de détruire toutes les nations qui viendront contre Jérusalem. »
    [10] « Je répandrai sur la maison de David et sur les habitants de Jérusalem un esprit de grâce et de supplications, afin qu’ils tournent les regards vers moi, vers celui qu’ils ont percé (Jésus), et qu’ils pleurent sur lui comme on pleure sur un fils unique, et qu’ils pleurent amèrement sur lui comme on pleure sur un premier-né. »

Matthieu 24:29-31 LSG
[29] Aussitôt après ces jours de détresse, le soleil s’obscurcira, la lune ne donnera plus sa lumière, les étoiles tomberont du ciel, et les puissances des cieux seront ébranlées.
    [30] Alors le signe du Fils de l'homme (Jésus-Christ) paraîtra dans le ciel. Alors toutes les tribus de la terre se lamenteront et verront le Fils de l'homme venir sur les nuées du ciel avec puissance et une grande gloire. [31] Il enverra ses anges avec la trompette retentissante, et ils rassembleront ses élus [du monde entier], des quatre vents [de la terre], d'une extrémité du ciel à l'autre.

Apocalypse 1:7 LSG
[7] Voici, il (Jésus) vient avec les nuées. Et tout œil le verra, même ceux qui l'ont percé (crucifié), et toutes les tribus de la terre se lamenteront à cause de lui. Oui. Amen.

Apocalypse 14:9-16 LSG
[9] Un autre ange, un troisième, les suivit, en disant d'une voix forte : « Si quelqu'un adore la bête (l'Antéchrist) et son image, et reçoit une marque sur son front ou sur sa main, [10] il boira, lui aussi, du vin de la fureur de Dieu, versé sans mélange dans la coupe de sa colère, et il sera tourmenté dans le feu et le soufre, devant les saints anges et devant l'Agneau. [11] Et la fumée de leur tourment monte aux siècles des siècles, et ils n'ont de repos ni jour ni nuit, ceux qui adorent la bête et son image, et quiconque reçoit la marque de son nom. »
    [12] Voici un appel à la persévérance des saints, ceux qui gardent les commandements de Dieu et leur foi en Jésus. [13] Et j'entendis du ciel une voix qui disait : « Écris ceci : Heureux désormais les morts qui meurent dans le Seigneur. » « Heureux, dit l’Esprit, qu’ils se reposent de leurs travaux, car leurs œuvres les suivent ! »
    [14] Puis je regardai, et voici, il y avait une nuée blanche. Sur cette nuée était assis quelqu’un qui ressemblait à un fils d’homme (Jésus-Christ), avec une couronne d’or sur la tête et une faucille tranchante à la main. [15] Et un autre ange sortit du temple, criant d’une voix forte à celui qui était assis sur la nuée : « Mets ta faucille, et moissonne ; car l’heure de moissonner est venue, car la moisson de la terre est mûre. » [16] Celui qui était assis sur la nuée lança sa faucille sur la terre, et la terre fut moissonnée.

Les chrétiens doivent prêcher l'Évangile aux Juifs et aux non-Juifs, maintenant et où qu'ils soient

Aucune Écriture ne dit que nous devons actuellement aider les Juifs, afin qu'ils croient et soient sauvés, à retourner sur la terre promise par Dieu aux Israélites dans l'Ancienne Alliance. En fait, lorsque Jésus le Messie reviendra, tous le verront venir, y compris les Juifs, où qu'ils soient.

Apocalypse 1:5-7 (LSG)
[5] À celui qui nous aime et qui nous a délivrés de nos péchés par son sang, [6] à celui qui a fait de nous un royaume et des sacrificateurs pour son Dieu et Père, à lui soient la gloire et la puissance aux siècles des siècles ! Amen.
    [7] Voici, il vient sur les nuées ! Tous le verront de leurs yeux, même ceux qui l'ont transpercé (les Juifs). Et tous les peuples de la terre se lamenteront sur lui. Ainsi en sera-t-il ! Amen.

L'Israël de Dieu d'aujourd'hui n'est pas une terre physique appelée Israël. Israël est en réalité le peuple élu de Dieu, parmi les Gentils et les Juifs, qui se repentent de leurs péchés et donnent leur vie à Jésus le Messie par le baptême.

Galates 3:26-29 (LSG)
[26] Vous êtes tous enfants de Dieu par la foi en Jésus-Christ. [27] Car vous tous qui avez été baptisés en Christ, vous avez revêtu Christ.
    [28] Il n'y a plus ni Juif ni Grec, il n'y a plus ni esclave ni libre, il n'y a plus ni homme ni femme, car tous vous êtes un en Jésus-Christ.
    [29] Et si vous appartenez à Christ, vous êtes la descendance d'Abraham et héritiers selon la promesse.

Jésus reviendra régner pendant mille ans sur toute la terre, et non pas seulement sur un petit territoire comme l'actuel État d'Israël. Dieu n'a pas besoin que nous amenions des Juifs sur la terre physique d'Israël. Ce n'est pas une interprétation biblique, mais simplement une interprétation biblique dogmatique.

Ce que Dieu désire vraiment, c'est que nous prêchions l'Évangile du salut en Jésus-Christ à tous les Juifs possibles, où qu'ils soient. L'Évangile est ce que les Juifs ont besoin d'entendre pour que certains soient sauvés maintenant. En fait, ils doivent l'entendre maintenant pour que beaucoup croient que Jésus est le Messie lorsqu'il viendra et descendra des nuées.

Romains 10:14-17 NIV
[14] Comment donc [les Israélites] invoqueront-ils celui en qui ils n'ont pas cru ? Et comment croiront-ils en celui dont ils n'ont pas entendu parler ? Et comment entendront-ils sans que quelqu'un prêche ? [15] Et comment prêcheront-ils sans être envoyés ? Car il est écrit : « Qu'ils sont beaux les pieds de ceux qui annoncent la bonne nouvelle ! »
    [16] Cependant, tous les Israélites n'ont pas accepté la bonne nouvelle. Ésaïe dit : « Seigneur, qui a cru à notre message ? »
    [17] Ainsi, la foi vient de ce qu'on entend le message [qui est prêché], et le message qu'on entend, c'est la parole du Christ.

Do You Know Why God Loves You?

1) According to the Holy Scriptures, in the beginning God created man and woman in his image, with a pure heart, clear conscience and free will, to live in harmony and enjoy sonship and fellowship with Him eternally.

But because they once disobeyed God, sin entered their hearts, and they lost the privilege of being immortal and of having sonship and communion with God.

2) As a result of the transgression of the first man and woman, we have all inherited their sinful nature of thinking negative thoughts, speaking negative words, and doing negative actions.

The power of sin is ruling our minds and hearts to the point that we do things we don't want to do, and we don't do things we want to do. And this is why we are all guilty at some point of disappointing God, of hurting others, and of being hurt by others as well.

However, God didn't completely abandon us, as He sent prophets and gave us his commandments, the moral code to show us what sin is. But man could not follow the commandments by his own strength to have a pure heart and a clear conscience.

3) Sin separates us from God's glory and brings us to eternal perdition.

However, according to the law God gave to Moses, forgiveness of sins is only achieved through the shedding of blood. To achieve this, animals had to be sacrificed every year. But these animal sacrifices could not purify men's consciences.

4) That’s why God sent Jesus—his divine and only Son, Messiah and Co-creator—about 2,000 years ago on a special mission.

Jesus came from heaven and became human like the first man before he sinned. In fact, he was the only man who was born of a woman and of God's Spirit. That’s why he was sinless and could redeem us from our sinful nature and eternal perdition.

At the age of thirty, Jesus was baptized in water as a sign of his commitment to reveal his divine glory and to be persecuted and killed for openly confessing who he was. And right after, he received the fullness of God's own Holy Spirit, which descended from heaven to anoint him and empower him to fulfill his mission on earth.

In fact, Jesus' great mission was to take upon himself the death penalty, according to God's law, that we all deserve for being sinners and for breaking his commandments.

Jesus proclaimed God's truth, healed the sick, and freed those oppressed by the devil. He continually showed his love and grace to all, until out of envy one day he was arrested, falsely accused and mistreated by the Jewish religious leaders. They then handed him over to be executed by the Romans, at the end of his ministry three and a half years later.

Jesus was cruelly beaten and whipped, then crucified, mocked, and literally cursed on a cross. And after some long hours of pain and agony, he died without mercy, rejected by all and even without the Spirit of his Father.

Jesus was tempted in all things but never sinned, as he remained obedient to God his Father and kept holy all the way until the end. And only out of love for his Father and love for us, he shed his blood all the way until death as an offering for sin, as the perfect Lamb of God that takes all our sins away.

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet God laid on his Son the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.

Jesus’ sacrifice, bloodshed and death was able to remove the curse of sin's power, forgive all our sins, and heal all our hurts and diseases, so that we could be made righteous before God.

After Jesus died, God raised him from the dead on the third day, because he never sinned. He appeared to his disciples with his new glorious body for a certain time, and right after he ascended into heaven at the right hand of God. Once there, Jesus sent us his Holy Spirit so that he could live in our hearts and work through us.

5) How can we be saved from the power of sin and hurts and diseases, and be made righteous before God?

• We must believe that God sent Jesus to save us from the power of sin through his death and resurrection.

• We must repent wholeheartedly of our sins and turn to God so that He may remove our hardened hearts and give us a tender one.

• We must be baptized in water in the name of Jesus to bury our old sinful nature and rise with him, so that our sins may be washed away and we may have a new life, and so that Jesus, who gave his life for us, may become our personal Lord and Savior.

• We must receive the gift of God's Holy Spirit (God's spiritual presence) within us. By receiving this gift, we become a new creation—adopted children of God with a divine nature.

At that moment, God will heal and set us free, and help us do good because sin no longer has dominion over us. We have a new nature, the glorious nature of God, and we want to do what pleases Him. Consequently, we will be able to think faithbuilding thoughts, say encouraging words and perform loving actions.

6) What is God's will for us, his adopted and born again children?

• God wants us to have a daily personal communion with Him and with Jesus, by praying in their Holy Spirit and meditating on their Holy Word, in order to receive more of their selfless love and to become one in mind and spirit with them.

• God wants us to love all humanity with his selfless love, and especially those of the family of faith in Jesus.

• God wants us to proclaim boldly and faithfully the Good News of God's salvation (from the power of sin and eternal perdition) and reconciliation to Him, by his marvellous grace and through faith in Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection.

• God wants us to bless and heal those who need physical and/or spiritual healing, laying on hands and commanding healing to come in the name of Jesus and the power of God.

▪︎ God wants us to build one another up, equip new believers in the faith, and work together to advance God's Kingdom by bringing Jesus to many.

7) Jesus lived a holy life on Earth, constantly thanking and praying to God in the Spirit, and loving everyone. And also he lived in obedience to God, speaking his words of truth and showing his miraculous healing power, and dying for all humanity.

If we follow Jesus' teachings, we will also live holy and obedient lives. And consequently, we will love God and anyone around, and fulfill Jesus' command to spread God's Good News everywhere and at every opportunity, so that many may enter his marvellous heavenly Kingdom.

God loved us so much that He sent his only Son Jesus to give his whole life for our sake, so that we might live eternally. Are you willing to give Jesus your whole life, to follow him and obey his commandments of loving God intimately and those around you as you love yourself?

God’s Truth about Israel

We pray and hope that this simple explanation and compilation of Bible verses will help you to clarify some questions you might have on who is the Israel of the promise, the Israel of God.

Does the flesh make us Israelites in God’s eyes? Does the Zionist secular state of Israel, as we know it today, was founded by God?

The house of Israel is left desolate

Jesus said that the house of the Jewish people was about to be abandoned and desolate for rejecting their prophets and their own Messiah, in fact until He returns:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:37‭-‬39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[37] “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! [38] See, your house is left to you desolate. [39] For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he (Jesus) who comes in the name of the LORD (God).’”

He also predicted the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, which in fact happened in the year 70 AC by the Roman’s army, as a punishment for the sins of the people of Israel. Since then, they were all exiled, as their house was abandoned and desolate:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:1‭-‬2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[1] Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. [2] But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Jesus said that his Kingdom is not of this world

Jesus said that his Kingdom is not of this world, not an earthly kingdom. The Jews didn't believe in Jesus and killed him because they expected their Messiah to free them from Romans' occupation. But we, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, are God’s people in union with Jesus the Messiah. We are a holy, spiritual nation, but we are temporary residents and foreigners on this earth, according to the Scriptures:

‭‭John‬ ‭18:36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[36] Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‭-‬11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[9] But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. [10] Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. [11] Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.

A real Jew is the one who is circumcised in the heart
A real Jew is not the one who is only circumcised in the flesh, but the one who is circumcised in the heart in union with Jesus the Messiah:
‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:25‭-‬29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ [25] For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. [26] So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? [27] Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. [28] For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. [29] But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:2‭-‬3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ [2] Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. [3] For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.

Colossians 2:11-12 ESV [11] In him (Jesus) also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, [12] having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

God has not rejected the Israelites, for He promised to save a remnant of them

God has punished but never completely rejected the Israelites for their constant rebellion and disobedience to Him, and for rejecting and killing their Messiah. The reason why is because of the promises He had made with Abraham. God has chosen and kept a REMNANT of Israelites who believe in God's promise of an offspring given to Abraham:

‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:1‭-‬6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[1] I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? [3] “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” [4] But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

[5] So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. [6] But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9:27‭-‬29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[27] And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a REMNANT of them will be saved, [28] for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” [29] And as Isaiah predicted, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.”

Only a remnant of Israelites who believe in the Messiah will be saved

The children of God are not those who are born of a physical birth, but those who are reborn with a birth that comes from God through faith in his Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah), regardless of whether they are Jews or Gentiles: John 1:11-13 ESV [11] He [Jesus] came to his own [Israel], and his own people did not receive him. [12] But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, [13] who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. Jesus said once to the Jews who were not listening to him nor the words of God, that they didn't belong to God but to their father the devil, the father of lies. This clearly proves that not all Jews will be saved just because they are genetically Jews. Only those who sincerely believe that Jesus is the Lord and Messiah sent by God: John 8:41-47 ESV [41] (Jesus:) You are doing the works your father did.” They (the Jews) said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.” [42] Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. [43] Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. [44] You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. [45] But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. [46] Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? [47] Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” Moises talked to the Jewish people about the coming of another Prophet like him. In fact, he was talking about the coming of the Messiah. And he continued saying that any Jew who doesn't listen to the Messiah will be removed from being part of God's people: Acts 3:22-23 ESV [22] Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet (the Messiah) like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. [23] And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

Acts 4:11-12 ESV

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 ESV

Romans 9:30-33 ESV [30] What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; [31] but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. [32] Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone (the Messiah), [33] as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

1 Peter 2:4-8 ESV

[6] For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

The complete remnant of Israelites will be saved after the complete remnant of Gentiles has been saved

Paul writes in Romans 11:25-26 that “some of the people of Israel (those who have yet to repent and be saved by faith in Christ Jesus) have hardened their hearts.” But they will be saved after the number of the Gentiles (the remnant of non-Israelites who repent and are saved by faith in Jesus) has come in. That is why Paul goes on to say that “then all Israel (the whole remnant of Israelites who repent and believe in Christ) will be saved.” And then he adds that God has not rejected the people of Israel, because He chose the ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Romans 11:1-10, 28-29) ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:25‭-‬27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ [25] Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. [26] And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; [27] “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” Now here is something important to take in consideration. Notice that the verse 26 of Romans 11 is the Greek version of Isaiah 59:20 that says: Isaiah 59:20 ESV [20] “And a Redeemer will come TO Zion, to those in Jacob who TURN from transgression,” declares the Lord. The original verse in Hebrew is a bit different from the written Greek version. Here is saying in fact that NOT ALL Israel will be saved. Only a REMNANT of Israelites who REPENT will be saved at the coming of the Messiah and Redeemer.

In fact, Paul says in Romans 9:26, quoting the prophecy of Isaiah 10:22, that “though the children of Israel are as numerous as the sand on the seashore, only a REMNANT will be saved.”

Here is a good passage in Micah 2:12 which confirms and clarifies what Paul was referring in Romans 11:26 that “all Israel will be saved”, which in fact is saying that ALL the REMNANT of Israel who repent and believe in Christ will be saved: Micah 2:12 ESV [12] I will surely assemble ALL of you, O Jacob; I will gather the REMNANT of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men. Paul continues writing in Romans chapter 11: Romans 11:28-32 ESV [28] As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. [29] For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. [30] For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, [31] so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. [32] For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all (Jews and Gentiles). Here above it says that God will have mercy on ALL, yes, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. But this doesn't mean that all Gentiles and Jews will be saved. Only those of poor spirit, the meek, the merciful, who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers will be saved and called children of God. (See Matthew 5:1-9.) Only those whether Jews or Gentiles who believe and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior, will be adopted as children of God. (See John 1:12-13; Romans 10:8-13.)

When will the complete remnant of Gentiles and Israelites be saved?

The following verses confirm that this will take place at the moment of the Rapture just after the Great Tribulation or Anguish perpetrated by the Antichrist, when EVERY PERSON in the world will SEE JESUS CHRIST coming from the clouds of heaven and mourn, including those who pierced or crucify him—the Jews. Isaiah 59:20-21 ESV [20] “And a Redeemer (Jesus) will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression (sin),” declares the Lord. [21] “And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore.” Zechariah 12:9-10 ESV [9] “And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. [10] “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him (Jesus) whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. Matthew 24:29-31 ESV [29] “Immediately after the [great] tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. [30] Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man (Jesus Christ), and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect [from all over the world], from the four winds [of the earth], from one end of heaven to the other. Revelation 1:7 ESV [7] Behold, he (Jesus) is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced (crucify) him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. Revelation 14:9-16 ESV [9] And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast (the Antichrist) and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, [10] he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. [11] And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” [12] Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. [13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” [14] Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man (Jesus Christ), with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” [16] So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Christians must preach the Gospel to Jews and non-Jews now and wherever they are

There is no Scripture that says we must currently help Jews, so that they may believe and be saved, to return to the land that God had promised to the Israelites in the Old Covenant or Testament. In fact, when Jesus the Messiah returns, everyone will see him coming, including Jews, wherever they are.

Revelation 1:5-7 NIV

[7] Look, he is coming on the clouds! Everyone will see him with their eyes, even those who pierced him (the Jews). And all the peoples of the earth will mourn over him. So it will be! Amen.

Galatians 3:26-29 NIV

[26] You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus, [27] for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

[28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

[29] And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.

What God truly wants is for us to preach the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ to as many Jews as we can, wherever they are. The gospel is what Jews need to hear so that some may be saved now. In fact, they must hear it now so that many may believe that Jesus is the Messiah when he comes and descends from the clouds.

Romans 10:14-17 NIV

[16] However, not all Israelites accepted the good news. Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

[17] So faith comes from hearing the message [that is preached] and the message that is heard is the word of Christ.

God's children are only those who repent and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior

According to God's Word after Jesus’ resurrection, not all Israelites in the flesh are the children of God, but only those who repent and believe in the promise are counted as offspring. And the "offspring" that God promised to Abraham is in fact God's own Son and Messiah:

‭‭

Galatians‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[16] Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.

We must clarify that ONLY those Gentiles and Israelites who will repent and receive the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved:

Acts 2:37-41 ESV

[37] Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” [38] And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [39] For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

[40] And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” [41] So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

Romans 10:5-13 ESV

[5] For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

[6] But the righteousness based on faith says…[9] if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

[11] For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” [12] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. [13] For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

According to God's Word after Jesus’ resurrection, not all Israelites in the flesh are the children of God, but only those who believe in the promise are counted as offspring. And the "offspring" that God promised to Abraham is in fact his Son Jesus the Messiah:

‭‭John‬ ‭1:11‭-‬13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[11] He (Jesus) came to his own (the Jews), and his own people did not receive him. [12] But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, [13] who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[16] Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.

Jews and Gentiles are justified before God only through faith in Christ Jesus According to the Scriptures, we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God, whether Jews or Gentiles. We are made right with God only by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, whether Jews or Gentiles. God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight when we believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood for the forgiveness of our sins. Romans 3:9-12, 21-26 ESV [9] What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks (no Jews), are under sin, [10] as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” [21] But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— [22] the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction [between Jews and Gentiles.] [23] For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, [25] whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. [26] It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Jews and Gentiles in Jesus are both part of the heavenly Jerusalem

As born-again believers in Jesus, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, we are all part of the same spiritual Israel. So we should not put our eyes on the physical Israel, as we are temporary residents on this earth, and we are looking for a better country, a spiritual one--the heavenly Jerusalem:

‭‭John‬ ‭10:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[16] And I have other sheep (the Gentiles) that are not of this fold (the Jews). I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭10:25‭-‬35‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[25] When Peter (a Jewish Apostle) entered, Cornelius (a Roman Officer) met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. [26] But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am a man.” [27] And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered.

[28] And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean. [29] So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”

‭‭ [30] And Cornelius said, “Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing [31] and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God. [32] Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’ [33] So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”

[34] So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, [35] but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”

Galatians 3:7-9 ESV [7] Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. [8] And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” [9] So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:22‭-‬29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[22] For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. [23] But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise.

[24] Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. [25] Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. [26] But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. [27] For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.”

[28] Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. [29] But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[10] For Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

[13] These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

[16] But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

Jews and Gentiles are both united in one Spirit and part of the Israel of God

Now through the blood of Jesus, Jews and Gentiles are reconciled to God, making peace with Him. They unite in one Spirit and are part of one body, the body of Christ—the spiritual Israel of God. They neat together as a temple of God, whose foundation are the apostles, the prophets and Jesus as the Cornerstone:

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:26‭-‬29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[26] For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. [27] For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:12 -‬16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[12] It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. [13] For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. [14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:13‭-‬22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[13] But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

[14] For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility [15] by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, [16] and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. [17] And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. [18] For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

[19] So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, [20] built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, [21] in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. [22] In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Do we need a temple to worship God?

Do we need a physical temple made of stone to worship God? The Scriptures say that Jesus’ body is God's Temple and that He in fact is the Living Stone, and in union with him we are also "living stones" filled with God's Spirit. When we are born of God's Spirit, our body becomes a temple of his Holy Spirit. But those Jews who do not believe that Jesus is the Cornerstone of God's Temple will be offended because they reject God's appointed Messiah through unbelief and disobedience, and consequently they will be put to shame.

‭‭John‬ ‭2:19‭-‬21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[19] Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” [20] The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” [21] But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

‭‭John‬ ‭4:21‭-‬24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[21] Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. [22] You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

[23] But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. [24] God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19‭-‬20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[19] Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, [20] for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Peter 2:4-8 ESV [4] As you come to him (Jesus), a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, [5] you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. [6] For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” [7] So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” [8] and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

God restored Israel every time they repented and turned to Him

When we study the history of the Jews in the Bible, we can see that when they refused to repent of their idols, God sent the Babylonians to punish them. Eventually their temple was destroyed. Jeremiah was a prophet at that time. But after 70 years, they were able to rebuild their temple, which was a work of God because the people had repented and wanted to follow God's laws with all their hearts.

We see after this that the Jews rejected their Messiah and as a result, their temple was destroyed in the year 70 by the Romans and the Jews were exiled everywhere.

Luke 21:5-6 ESV [5] And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, [6] “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Luke 23:27-31 ESV

[27] And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. [28] But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. [29] For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ [30] Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ [31] For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

Was Israel as a nation founded by God in 1948?

The state of Israel as we know it today is a secular state that was not formed by the will of God, but by secular Jews with a Zionist political endeavor for wealth and power. And sadly to say, Zionism since 1948 has caused constant wars in the Middle East and especially in Palestine. The real motive behind all is occupy the land by force at any cost.

Only the peacemakers will be called children of God What is the will of God? Jesus said in Matthew 5 that only the peacemakers will be called children of God, even those who patiently endure unjust treatment:
Matthew 5:9-12 ESV [9] “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. [10] “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. [12] Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

In Luke 6, Jesus sets God's clear standards about loving our enemies and never take revenge, but instead trust God to judge every situation:

Luke 6:27-36 ESV

[27] “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. [29] To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. [30] Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. [31] And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

[32] “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. [33] And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. [34] And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. [35] But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. [36] Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

The apostle Peter wrote about it:

1 Peter 2:19-23 ESV [19] For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. [20] For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. [21] For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. [22] He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. [23] When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.

Zionism secular ideology is based on hate and repression The Zionists members of the present government of Israel have nothing to do with God, as they are not following Jesus’ Words of working for peace among all mankind. Instead they have continually perpetrated vengeance and killing the Palestinian people since the occupation in 1948.

Many sincere Orthodox Jews who follow the Torah and are in exile do not accept this secular government. They are waiting for the coming of their Messiah who will put everything back in order. And by the grace of God, a number of them will see that Jesus is in fact the true Messiah in lifetime, after they will experience difficult times. Hallelujah!

OUR CONCLUSION

We are strangers (foreigners) and pilgrims (nomads) on this earth waiting like Abraham for a better country, a spiritual one, the new Jerusalem from above, not the earthly Jerusalem.

Not all Jews are Jews but the ones of the promise concerning Jesus, and the ones who are circumcised in the heart.

In Jesus we are all reconciled to God and are part of the spiritual Israel–the Israel of God–, whether we are Jews or Gentiles.

This is our current understanding about the spiritual Israel of God, and we pray that we can all come to the truth and knowledge of God concerning these events.

May God our Father and Jesus our Lord give us more and more understanding as we are approaching the coming of the true King and Ruler of the whole Earth. Amen.
