God's prophetic
time clock starts ticking whenever the Jews are in
their homeland. Some may have started coming
back as early as 1917 (or 1918), when General Allenby
entered, conquering the muslims, thus ending 970 years of Muslim rule. Allenby had been
instructed by the British Prime Minister, David
Lloyd George, to
deliver Jerusalem as a “Christmas
present” for the
Allies. This he did, making a low-key
entrance and proclamation on 11 December, 1917.
[General
Allenby's entrance into Jerusalem, 12-11-1917]
As you know,
Jerusalem was declared the Jewish homeland in 1948, but
1917 was the official date of the Jews getting back
their land and is often overlooked by those studying end
times prophecy. December 11, 1917 is actually a
significant day prophetically for eschatalogical timing
purposes.
It is
important to note that as far as "true Jews" go, one is a Jew by
religion - not by ethnicity. I am
American of a 'Heinz 57 variety' ethnic background,
which contains some Assyrian Jew. However, I am
not considered Jewish because of my Christian
faith. So it wouldn't matter if someone had a
Turkish Khazar background, so long as they are Jewish by religion.
During WWII under Hitler no doubt many Germans
mistakenly thought they were achieving their vile
objective of eliminating Jews just because of their
ethnicity, not knowing they missed many true Jews
because they were not of Jewish ethnicity.
Jesus
prophesied in Matthew 24 that this race of people will
not end until all the things prophesied in that chapter
are completed. Remember, the question was "what shall be the sign
of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
[Matt. 24:3/KJV] Jesus responded in Matthew
24:34 "Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass,
till all these things be fulfilled." In
Hebrew the word used was not "generation" but rather "genre"
for a race of people. In essence, Jesus was saying
that the race
of Jewish people will remain on Earth until the end of
the world - not just the end of the age.
You are
correct that "the true
Jews are now, as they have long been, an oppressed
minority." Many Israeli rabbis
are actually what we would call "completed Jews," who
have Jesus as their messiah living in their
hearts. They do their work for Jesus and have
succeeded in developing a large, growing
following. However, the orthodox Jews are
vehemently against them, even persecuting them and
trying to pass laws to prevent them from being
missionaries to their own people.
Jesus told
someone here on 5 Doves many decades ago now, that the
Rapture has to be before Rosh HaShanah because "after
that it will all be (i.e., focus of world events)
about the Jewish people." That's because
the Rapture is a dividing line between the times of the
Gentiles and that of the Jews.
My dad, who
had his Doctor of Divinity Degree majoring in
Eschatology (study of the 'end times'), told me that during the Great Tribulation - in order
to be "saved" - a person will have to convert to a
form of Judaism; perhaps a "completed Jew" version
since the Gentile 'Age of Grace' will have already
ended. What a novel thought!
Jesus stated in a 2010 prophetic word to
Maurice Sklar, Christian world class violinist, "I’ve allowed some to
choose whether they want to stay to be a part of the
greatest revival and harvest of all of history or to
go on before to My Wedding Supper."
So,
maybe not all completed Jews will get raptured.
Jesus implies in the above
prophetic word that the great harvest will occur during
the Great Tribulation. This prophetic word
is also a hint that the Bride of Christ will be removed prior to the
great harvest that so many mistakenly think they will be
here for. Who knows, we are already seeing a trickle
of it occurring, but it isn't yet the great outpouring -
greater than all others before it - that the end time
harvest is prophesied to be.
It is possible that some completed Jews will
be left behind to help influence the 1/3rd Jewish
"remnant" that eventually flees to the desert (possibly
Petra) during the coming Great Tribulation. During
the recent Gaza war there were videos of Jews fleeing
into the desert to try to get away from Hamas. I
recognized it as a prophetic prelude to what will occur
in the very near future.
