First off, I would like to remind you that I've said, I do not believe "the Church which is His body" will be on the earth during the trib years [at the same time that Israel will be coming to faith, therein], but that those trib years (following our Rapture) are when Israel [the believing remnant] will come to faith [Hos5:15-6:3 ("
TILL"), Dan12:1-4,10, Ezek37:12-14,20-23, Rom11:15, Isa26:16-21, Micah5:3's "
UNTIL," etc], and I've stated that
one of the purposes of the tribulation period [7 yrs] is for Israel to come into the new covenant [Rom11:25-29 "as concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
BUT as touching the election,
they are beloved for the fathers' sakes." And the "blindness/a hardening...
UNTIL" etc...].
I also believe what 2 Corinthians 3 says,
7 Now if the ministry of death, having been engraved in letters on stones, was produced in glory, so as for the sons of Israel not to be able to look intently into the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face which is fading,
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory?
9 For if glory
was in the ministry of condemnation, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound
in glory!
10 For even that having been made glorious has not been glorified in this respect, on account of the glory surpassing
it.
11 For if that which is fading away
was through glory, much more
is that remaining in glory!
12 Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness,
13 and not as Moses would put a veil over his face for the sons of Israel not to look intently into the end of that fading away.
14 But their minds were hardened; for until the present day, the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant, not being lifted, which is being removed in Christ.
15 But unto this day, when Moses shall be read, a veil lies over their heart.
And I've said that a primary impetus that will help Israel come to faith will be the event of "our Rapture/THE Departure [of us]"...
I believe the law (which they know well) will help point them to Christ (when they find themselves IN the trib yrs FOLLOWING our Rapture), and they (at that time) will "turn" to Him [not saying 100% of them will], and it is
these that the Olivet Discourse is speaking of in the early parts of Matt24 (not "the Church
which is His body" who will have already been raptured out by that point in the chronology), even starting at "the beginning of birth PANGS" [parallel the SEALS] at the
START of that future 7-yr period (the tribulation; which leads UP TO His Second Coming
to the earth, FOR the promised and prophesied
EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom, aka "the kingdom
OF THE heaven
S," aka "the wedding
FEAST/SUPPER," aka "the age [
singular] to come"... commencing upon His
"RETURN" there [Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44 "when he will
RETURN FROM the wedding..."
THEN the meal; and Lk19:12,15,17,19
"RETURN"...[and so many more parallel passages speaking to
this; like how "the 12" were told they will "sit on 12 thrones, judg
ING the
12 tribes of Israel" (see also Matt26:29 in connection with this)...etc, etc...]).
It will be the believing remnant of Israel IN/DURING the trib yrs that send forth the INVITATION TO "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER" [(to) the earthly MK age]
