The Role of the Gentiles in the Salvation of the Jewish Remnant
On this amazing journey with the Lord, I quickly learned that the Lord will often reveal His plan and His assignments, one piece at the time. So, when the Lord began speaking of the Jewish people, His “firstborn”, in July of 2024, I knew He would, in His timing, provide me with more pieces of the puzzle. Initially, as I have spoken of in my testimony, one of the things the Lord told me was that I would be going back to America to gather His Shepherds. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later that God revealed, that for now, there are only seven Shepherds Chosen by Him, that will be going back with me to begin preparing the Sanctuary for His Remnant. I did Not personally know the seven or even why the Lord chose them. It wasn't until recently (July) that The Lord began speaking to me about the Jewish people and revealed that the Seven will continue in the assignments the Lord has given them and will be preaching, teaching, prophesying, and doing deliverance, at The Sanctuary, just as they have done in the States. The Lord then revealed that these seven, the first that the Lord is calling, will play a crucial role in leading the Jewish people to faith in Jesus.
I was shocked when I understood that the Lord was revealing His Perfect plan for the long-anticipated salvation of the Jews, those He refers to as “His first born”.
The Jews and Jesus: A Prophetic Turning Point During the Great Tribulation
The Great Tribulation, as described in the New Testament, is a time of unparalleled distress and upheaval, a period that precedes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. For Christians, this is a crucial moment in the prophetic timeline, particularly regarding the Jewish people and their relationship with Jesus as the Messiah. This blog post will explore the significance of the Jews coming to faith in Jesus during the Great Tribulation.
The Great Tribulation: A Brief Overview
The Great Tribulation is found in scripture and refers to a period of intense suffering and persecution that will affect the entire world. Jesus Himself spoke of this time in the Olivet Discourse, warning that it would be a time of such great distress that "if those days had not been cut short, no one would survive" (Matthew 24:22).
The Tribulation will last for seven years, with the latter half—often called the "Great Tribulation"—being the most severe. This period is characterized by global conflict, natural disasters, and widespread persecution of believers.
The Jewish People in Prophecy
Throughout the Bible, the Jewish people are central to God’s redemptive plan. They are the people through whom God chose to reveal Himself, giving them the Law, the Prophets, and ultimately, the Messiah. Yet, as recorded in the New Testament, many Jews did not recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah during His earthly ministry.
However, biblical prophecy shows us that during the Great Tribulation, many Jews will come to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. This turning point is often associated with passages such as Zechariah 12:10, which speaks of the people of Israel looking upon the one they have pierced and mourning for Him as for an only son. This verse has until now been a prophetic indication that, in the end times, the Jewish people will experience a profound spiritual awakening and turn to Jesus in repentance and faith. Now the Lord has given us a glimpse into His plan for the Jewish People and it is absolutely AMAZING and such an honor for the body of Christ to be told how we are ALL a part of God’s Divine Plan
The Role of the 144,000
One of the key passages in the book of Revelation that speaks to the role of the Jewish people during the Great Tribulation is Revelation 7:1-8, which mentions the sealing of 144,000 servants of God from all the tribes of Israel. These 144,000 are a special group of believers, both Gentile and Jew, who will be protected by God during the Tribulation and who will serve as witnesses to the world, proclaiming the gospel in the midst of great turmoil.
A National Turning to Jesus
Another key prophecy often associated with this time is found in Romans 11:25-26, where the Apostle Paul speaks of a "partial hardening" that has come upon Israel until the "fullness of the Gentiles" has come in. He then declares that "all Israel will be saved," which confirms this rapidly approaching time in which the Jewish nation will come to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
This anticipated national turning to Jesus during the Great Tribulation is seen as a fulfillment of God’s covenant promises to Israel. It underscores the belief that God has not abandoned His people, but that there remains a divine plan for their redemption, which will be coming to fruition in these last days.
God’s Promises
The Jews coming to faith in Jesus during the Great Tribulation speaks to the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises to Israel and highlights the continuing importance of the Jewish people in God’s redemptive plan.
For Christians all over the world, this turning of the Jews to Jesus is a cause for hope and celebration, as it represents the culmination of God’s plan to bring both Jews and Gentiles together in one body through Christ (Ephesians 2:14-16). It also serves as a reminder of the importance of prayer for the salvation of all people, including the Jewish nation.
Conclusion
The Great Tribulation will be a time of intense challenge and suffering, but it is also a period of profound spiritual awakening, among the Jewish people. The biblical prophecy that the Jews will come to recognize Jesus as their Messiah during this time, is now coming to life with the assignment to the Lord’s Church to build the Sanctuary and is a powerful reminder of God’s unwavering faithfulness and the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan for humanity.
As God reveals HIS perfect plan for the salvation of the Jewish People, we are honored to be chosen by the Lord to not only be a part of purchasing and building His Sanctuary, but to be given this Holy assignment to teach God’s firstborn all about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Please be encouraged that God is calling each of us, His Church, to be a part of the fulfillment of this end times prophecy. Rest assured that because the Lord knows the hearts of those whom He has called, every dollar you give will go to purchasing and preparing this Sacred Place. Continue to pray for this massive undertaking and for one another, and may God be with all of us in the days ahead as we navigate the rapidly changing seasons.
I don't think many understand the magnitude and significance of this revelation Lainey. God HAS spoken and we must be prepared for what's coming
