God Did Not Reject His People (Israel)
(Romans 11:2)

 
Into the face
of Neo-Nazis,
of Neo-Marxists,
of Islamofascists,
of Progressive Liberal Atheist Intelligentsiae

Into the face
of Roman Catholic theologians,
of Anglican archbishops,
of Successionist Replacement Presbyterian professors,
of Amillennial Post-Tribulation Restoration preachers

Into the face
of secular Zionists,
of Jewish Reconstructionist humanists,
of Kabbalist occult shamans

Into the heart
of those survivors of the Sho'ah who died to God
and mock any messiah for failing to come ...

To all those who reject, repudiate, or disdain the Jewish people and the Messiah of Israel, the New Testament unambiguously affirms that God has not rejected the people and He will fulfill His messianic purposes on earth.

God will absolutely purge his people with a fiery Wind (Isaiah 4:4) and wash them in a Fountain (Zechariah 13:1). Then they will be snow white (Isaiah 1:18), so no one can accuse them of their sins. In that Day they will no longer stand condemned by demonic beings or rejected by their human hosts.

On that great Day of radical change, Israel's new status will be concurrent with the change involving their Messiah.

For one day, the world leaders who stood together and held war "counsels" against "the LORD and against his Mashiach" will be silenced (Psalm 2:2). The prime ministers, premiers, and presidents of every nation will "shut their mouths on account of" God's Mashiach (Isaiah 52:15).

Even in Jerusalem, where Mashiach was once "the Depised One ... the One abhorred by the nation" (Isaiah 49:7), there will be a change. The Man they rejected, repudiated, disdained, and ultimately "pierced" to death will lead them to tears of repentance, and "the Land will mourn...as for an only son" (Zechariah 12).

But she will mourn only for a season.

For though "weeping may lodge for the night...joy comes in the Morning" (Psalm 30:5), when "the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star" will finally re-appear (Revelation 22:16), and will become to Am Yisrael "the Sun of righteousness" who rises "with healing in his wings" (Malachi 4:2).

According to the Scriptures of Israel, what is Now will not always be.


1 Samuel 12:22a
For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name ...

Psalm 94:14
For the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Isaiah 10:21
A Remnant will return, the Remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God [El Gibbor].

Zechariah 14:7-11
It will be a Unique Day which is known to the LORD... it will come about in that Day that living waters will flow out of Jerusalem ... and the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that Day the LORD will be the One and Only and his Name the only one .... And people will live in her, and there will be no more curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.

Romans 11:1-2, 5, 29
God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom He foreknew.... There has come to be at the present time a Remnant according to God's gracious choice.... For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
