Where do you believe the sons of Israel are VCO today??? Prior to 1948 most of the world's Jewish population resided outside current Israel. While many have returned, most of the Jewish population remains outside Israel. Do you think they are all in Israel proper now?
Are you suggesting the 144,000 are all that will be left of Israel after the Tribulation??
Let's try a little math exercise shall we???
from Wikipedia:
The
demography of Israel is monitored by the
Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. The State of Israel has a population of approximately 8,012,400 inhabitants as of 31 March 2013.[SUP]
[2][/SUP] 75.4 percent of them are
Jewish (about 6,037,700 individuals), 20.6 percent are
Arabs (about 1,656,600 individuals), while the remaining 4 percent (about 318,100 individuals) are defined as "others" (family members of Jewish immigrants who are not registered at the
Ministry of Interior as Jews, non-Arab
Christians,
non-Arab Muslims and residents who do not have an ethnic or religious classification).
Let's only use the 6 million number that are Jews.
Zech 13:
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land," Says the Lord, "That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; And each one will say, 'The Lord is my God.' "
According to this, if the Lord returned today, 2 million Jews would be saved. That is a heck of a lot more than 144,000 wouldn't you say?
Again, Rev 7 says 12,000 from each tribe will be
SEALED before the Trumpets are blown. They are sealed on their foreheads which Biblically means they have the truth of God in their minds and cannot be deceived. NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING says they are within the boarders of National Israel. I suggest you stop jumping to conclusions and take what the Word actually says rather than interpreting it the way you want it to read. That is likely how you have allowed yourself to be deceived into believing this false Pre-Trib Rapture lie.
