If you are one of the people who believes that the gathering of jews in Israel today is a prophecy fulfilled, I want to ask you a few questions:
1. Which verses talk about this gathering? The ones I see are all connected to the second coming of Jesus like Isaiah 11, wolf lying with the lamb etc.
2. Did the times of the gentiles mentioned in Luke 21 end in 1967 when the jews gained control of Jerusalem? If they did, what time are we living in now? Times of the jews?
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Jer 31:35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
Jer 31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Jer 31:37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Eze 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Eze 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Eze 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Eze 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Eze 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Israel will always be in the truth and never stray again so this is a future prophesy.
The kingdom will be restored to Israel so all the Hebrews will go back to Israel.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Israel as a nation has 70 weeks, 490 years, to make an end to sin, bring in everlasting righteousness, and anoint the most Holy who is Jesus.
69 weeks has passed with one more week to go, 7 years.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
The last week was postponed until the last 7 years for grace was given for the world until salvation was no longer available to them.
Also because Israel was punished because they did not come to repentance for 70 years so God allowed the Roman Empire to scatter the Hebrews in to the nations as the punishment He told them in the Old Testament if they strayed from the truth for too long.
So the Hebrews were not together for the 70th week to happen which is why there is one more week to go.
The last week is the time God causes all people who do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom that is all about people and there is no God and brings Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Lord and Savior.
The New Age Christ, antichrist, will negotiate peace in the Middle East which will result in a 7 years peace treaty which will start the system of man going against the operation of God.
It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen for the New Age Christ wants them all back on their land but God means it for good towards the Hebrews.
Jerusalem will be divided with the Palestinians, and the Hebrews will be able to rebuild their 3rd temple which they will go back to animal sacrifices.
When they take the mark of the beast repentance and salvation are no longer available to the world and the fulness of the Gentiles have come in.
The New Age Christ will step in to the Hebrews temple and tell them he is their God and to stop animal sacrifices.
God will send Israel 2 witnesses to turn Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Lord and Savior and at the end of the last three and one half years Israel as a nation will be in the truth and the 70th week will be fulfilled.
The 7 years is over and the wrath of God will be poured upon the world leading up to the battle of Armageddon when Jesus comes back with the saints and defeats the world and saves Israel.
Eze 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Eze 39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

Jesus will rule over one sixth of the heathen that God spared for 1000 years.
Animals will have no fear of people and be docile that a child can lead a crocodile and the crocodile will have no desire to hurt the child.
