 “When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations,” Ezekiel 39:27

The people of the nations around the world were a witness, and are still witnesses, to how God fulfilled His promise to bring the Jewish people back to Israel, which happened in 1948. This is a witness to the Holiness of God to fulfill His word, not a vindication to the profanity of the Jewish people, as quoted, “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.” Ezekiel 36:22

There are no blessings promised for Israel in the New Testament, unless they acknowledge Jesus Christ as their messiah. Once the Battle of Armageddon is over, and the Day of the Lord comes, and Jesus Christ returns, there are no promises of eternal life for the Jewish people. They will not be gathered out of the land of this sin-plagued world to be united in the New Jerusalem, and they will not be clothed with an eternal and sinless body. “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 23:38-39

Those who will be gathered from the east to the west into the New Jerusalem, out of this sin-plagued land, are we who live for God through Jesus Christ and walk in the Holy Spirit. The “sons of the kingdom” are the Jewish people, and they will be cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. “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

The Apostle Paul, through the Holy Spirit, makes it clear that only those who believe in Jesus Christ will be gathered from across the globe to be united eternally with Jesus Christ. The dead in Christ will rise first, then those of Christ’s who are alive will be caught up in the air to be with Jesus forever. This happens at the return of our Lord Jesus, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

“….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
