People No one who denies Christ salvation.
Are you saying Jews are saved though they do not believe in Jesus?
Not at all as we all know without jesus none would be saved. What I am saying is the church does not replace Israel.
The jews right now do not believe that Jesus is their promised Messiah. Let me take this up a notch. The leaders rabbis and such.
They teach that he is to come.
If the church were to replace Israel there would be no need of a second coming of Christ.
Jesus said unless the days were cut short no man would survive. In short the church gets raptured the judgement is poured out and whoever is left dies in their sin of unbelief.
But that's not how the story goes. Jesus comes back as the lion of judah to defend Israel. In fact during his first advent he gives them warning on the signs and times this would happen and tells them to look up for there redeemtion draws near.
Why look up you might ask? Again when jesus was teaching these things he said I see the son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. Luke 21:27.
Jesus knew he would be rejected but also came to fulfill the promise of the father to redeem Israel.
Because of the rejection they were blinded. Because of the crucifixion jesus days were shorten.
Very important to understand this.
Revelation 7 shows the tribes of israel being sealed by the Holy Spirit. The same seal we have.
So something had to happen to open up their eyes. Revelation also tells us they looked on him that was pierced.
Revelation is mostly focused on the Jewish nation and Jerusalem. Jerusalem is now the capital of Israel which is another fulfillment of prophecy along with Israel becoming a nation in one day.
So how close are we saints. Exciting times I tell you exciting times.
