He is putting pressure on Jews around the world, He is calling them home. 48 was the beginning of that. We agree ??
You believe this is happening spiritually, by the unction of the Spirit from heaven.
...but this isn't what scripture says.
Scripture says The Messiah Himself regathers His people and He leads them home, He is the captain. He enters the land first followed by His "holy ones" (i.e., the saints; His people)...and as
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 says, no one alive who is His is gathered to the Messiah before the dead rise (
Ezekiel 37 is the resurrection event, it's why Ezekiel is prophetically referred to as "son of man", pointing to Messiah). The dead have first priority. The whole house of Israel rises to life. And then "those who are alive and remain" are gathered next becoming one flock, Jew and Gentile.
What you call the "rapture of believers" and the gathering of the house of Israel to return to the land is the same event. They are not two events separated by a tribulation while we're in heaven. We are going to live in the land with them. So the fact that gentile believers are not also there with Messiah and resurrected saints means it's not the regathering.
What??! My land!! Where is y'alls compassion for the lost?? YOU were once lost!! God wants all to be saved and some of you talk like you could care less who is lost!!
This has been the majority of our feelings for the innocent Palestinians while others here have been less than..."Christlike"...in their blind support of Israeli nationalists who break every law imaginable (including biblical law), simply because of what ethnicity they claim to be. And for a while, it appeared that expressing any compassion for the Palestinians was met with kneejerk accusations of antisemitism.
Jews are blinded until the Gentiles come in.
I submit to you that the "blindness" in Romans 11 doesn't mean unbelief in Messiah, but literally means "blind to their identity"...and when they begin to believe in Messiah and turn back to the Almighty they will rediscover who they really are: their identity as children of Israel, and then Messiah will return to take them home...because part of the prophesied punishment pronounced by Moses was that they would lose their identity, be cut off from their roots and worship false gods.
The Punishment:
Psalm 83:4
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance
Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished scattering the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Hosea 1:8-10
After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son. 9 And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God. 10 Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted...
Deuteronomy 28:36-37, 64
The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known
The Promise:
Deuteronomy 30:1-3
When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, 2 and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 3 THEN the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.
Hosea 1:10-11
Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God. 11 THEN the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together,

Unfortunately, Jewish people who claim they never lost their heritage since the temple period bear witness against themselves (without realizing it) that they are not descendants of ancient Israel because it's in direct contradiction to the punishment pronounced against them. Also, scripture says the numbers of Israel would be like the sand of the sea when they are restored. They're not going to be small in number, which is also a witness against this current group.
Finally, let me add that any one of them who obeys the Word of Christ in their hearts will be saved all the same because they will be gentile believers grafted in, but they don't have any promises owed to them because they are not the people of the book.
