Will all the residue of Israel be destroyed?

Ezekiel 9:8

“And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?” Ezekiel 9:8

Ezekiel was concerned that there would be nothing left of Israel as God pours out the wrath of His fury on them. God’s wrath comes against spiritual wickedness, and He cannot and will not repent of His judgment against sin. However, He does provide forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ who made atonement for sin, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

The Salvation of Israel doesn’t happen because God repents of His sin against them (God is Holy and has no sin). The Salvation of Israel can only come because the Israelis repent of their sin against Him. The Jewish people will be cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. They will not see God or Jesus Christ until they say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” They must acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah sent from God.

Many non-Jews will come from all around the world and sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the New Jerusalem, but the Jewish people (sons of the kingdom) will not be there. “And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11-12

Jesus Christ wants the Jewish people to be part of His family, but that won’t happen until they acknowledge He is the Christ sent in the name of the Lord, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
