Nadene/ Norwalk, Connecticut U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts;
No, God is not done with Israel. Though
they have rejected the Messiah, the Apostle Paul tells us there is a
special day coming for the Jews.
Romans 11:25-29 KJV
25 For I would not, brethren, that
ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your
own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the
fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved:
as it is written, There shall come out of Zion The Deliverer, and
shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is My covenant unto
them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning The Gospel, they
are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are
beloved for The father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God
are without repentance.

you are His people, His own special treasure, just as He promised,
and that you must obey all His commands.

high above all the other nations He has made. Then you will receive
praise, honor, and renown. You will be a nation that is holy to
The Lord your God, just as He
promised.”

1 And it shall come to pass, when
all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse,
which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among
all the nations, whither The Lord thy God hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto The Lord thy
God, and shalt obey His voice according to all that I command thee
this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul;

turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return
and gather thee from all the nations, whither The Lord thy God hath
scattered thee.
Psalm 149:1-9 NLT
1 Praise The Lord! Sing to the Lord
a new song. Sing His praises in the assembly of the faithful.
2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O
people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.
3 Praise His name with dancing,
accompanied by tambourine and harp.
4 For The Lord delights in His
people; He crowns the humble with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice that He
honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.
6 Let the praises of God be in their
mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands—
7 to execute vengeance on the
nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with shackles
and their leaders with iron chains,
9 to execute the judgment written
against them. This is the glorious privilege of His faithful ones.
Praise The Lord!
Isaiah 2:1-4 NLT (The Lord’s
Future Reign)
1 This is a vision that Isaiah son
of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In the last days, the mountain of
The Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important
place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people
from all over the world will stream there to worship.
3 People from many nations will come
and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of The Lord, to the
house of Jacob’s God. There He will teach us His ways, and we will
walk in His paths.” For The Lord’s teaching will go out from
Zion; His Word will go out from Jerusalem.
4 The Lord will mediate between
nations and will settle international disputes.
They will hammer their swords into
plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will no longer fight against
natio nor train for war anymore.
Isaiah 11:1-9 NLT (Millennial
Reign Of Christ) (A Branch from David’s Line)
1 Out of the stump of David’s
family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the
old root.
2 And The Spirit Of The Lord will
rest on Him— The Spirit Of Wisdom and Understanding, The Spirit Of
Counsel and Might, the Spirit Of Knowledge and The Fear Of The Lord.
3 He will delight in obeying The
Lord. He will not judge by appearance nor make a decision based on
hearsay.
4 He will give justice to the poor
and make fair decisions for the exploited. The earth will shake at
the force of His Word, and one breath from His mouth will destroy the
wicked.
5 He will wear Righteousness like a
belt and Truth like an undergarment.
6 In that day the wolf and the lamb
will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The
calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child
will lead them all.
7 The cow will graze near the bear.
The cub and the calf will lie down together. The lion will eat hay
like a cow.
8 The baby will play safely near the
hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of
deadly snakes without harm.
9 Nothing will hurt or destroy in
all My holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth
will be filled with people who know The Lord.
Isaiah 61:8,9 NLT
8 “For I, The Lord, love justice.
I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward My people for
their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be
recognized and honored among the nations. Everyone will realize that
they are a people The Lord has blessed.”
Jeremiah 29:11-14 KJV
11 For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith The Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon Me, and
ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek Me, and find
Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith
The Lord..."
Jeremiah 30:1-24 NLT (Promises
of Deliverance)
1 The Lord gave another message to
Jeremiah. He said,
2 “This is what The Lord, The God
Of Israel, says: Write down for the record everything I have said to
you, Jeremiah.
3 For the time is coming when I will
restore the fortunes of My people of Israel and Judah. I will bring
them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will
possess it again. I, The Lord, have spoken!”
4 This is the message The Lord gave
concerning Israel and Judah.
5 This is what The Lord says: “I
hear cries of fear; there is terror and no peace.
6 Now let Me ask you a question: Do
men give birth to babies? Then why do they stand there, ashen-faced,
hands pressed against their sides like a woman in labor?
7 In all history there has never
been such a time of terror. It will be a time of trouble for My
people Israel. Yet in the end they will be saved! (Jacob's trouble)
8 For in that day,” says The Lord
Of Heaven’s Armies, “I will break the yoke from their necks and
snap their chains. Foreigners will no longer be their masters.
9 For My people will serve The Lord
their God and their King descended from David the king I will raise
up for them.
10 “So do not be afraid, Jacob, My
servant; do not be dismayed, Israel,” says
The Lord. “For I will bring you
home again from distant lands, and your children will return from
their exile. Israel will return to a life of peace and quiet, and no
one will terrorize them. (Jeremiah 31:8)
11 For I am with you and will save
you,” says The Lord. “I will completely destroy the nations where
I have scattered you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will
discipline you, but with justice; I cannot let you go unpunished.”
12 This is what The Lord says: “Your
injury is incurable— a terrible wound.
13 There is no one to help you or to
bind up your injury. No medicine can heal you.
14 All your lovers—your
allies—have left you and do not care about you anymore. I have
wounded you cruelly, as though I were your enemy. For your sins are
many, and your guilt is great.
15 Why do you protest your
punishment— this wound that has no cure? I have had to punish you
because your sins are many and your guilt is great.
16 “But all who devour you will be
devoured, and all your enemies will be sent into exile. All who
plunder you will be plundered, and all who attack you will be
attacked.
17 I will give you back your health
and heal your wounds,” says The Lord. “For you are called an
outcast—‘Jerusalem for whom no one cares.’”
18 This is what The Lord says:“When
I bring Israel home again from captivity and restore their fortunes,
Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace reconstructed
as before.
19 There will be joy and songs of
thanksgiving, and I will multiply My people, not diminish them; I
will honor them, not despise them.
20 Their children will prosper as
they did long ago. I will establish them as a nation before Me, and I
will punish anyone who hurts them.
21 They will have their own Ruler
again, and He will come from their own people.
I will invite Him to approach Me,”
says The Lord, “for who would dare to come unless invited?
22 You will be My people, and I will
be your God.” (Isaiah 11:9-Jeremiah 31:34)
23 Look! The Lord’s anger bursts
out like a storm, a driving wind that swirls down on the heads of the
wicked.
24 The fierce anger of The Lord will
not diminish until it has finished all He has planned. In the days to
come you will understand all this.
Jeremiah 37:31-37 NLT
31 “The day is coming,” says The
Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel
and Judah.
32 This covenant will not be like
the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and
brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant,
though I loved them as a husband loves His wife,” says The Lord.
33 “But this is the new covenant I
will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says The
Lord. “I will put My instructions deep within them, and I will
write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My
people.
34 And they will not need to teach
their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying,
‘You should know The Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the
greatest, will know me already,” says The Lord. “And I will
forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their
sins.”
35 It is The Lord who provides the
sun to light the day and the moon and stars to light the night, and
who stirs the sea into roaring waves. His name is
The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies, and
this is what He says:
36 “I am as likely to reject My
people Israel as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”
37 This is what The Lord says: “Just
as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth
cannot be explored, so I will not consider casting them away for the
evil they have done. I, The Lord, have spoken!
Ezekiel 34:13 NLT (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
I will bring them back home to their
own land of Israel from among the peoples and nations. I will feed
them on the mountains of Israel and by the rivers and in all the
places where people live.
Ezekiel 36:26 KJV
A new heart also will I give you,
and a new Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the
stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 37:21-28 NLT
21 And give them this message from
The Sovereign Lord: I will gather the people of Israel from among the
nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places
where they have been scattered.
22 I will unify them into one nation
on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer
will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms.
23 They will never again pollute
themselves with their idols and vile images and rebellion, for I will
save them from their sinful apostasy. I will cleanse them. Then they
will truly be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “My servant David will be their
king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey My
regulations and be careful to keep My decrees.
25 They will live in the land I gave
My servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and
their children and their grandchildren after them will live there
forever, generation after generation. And My servant David will be
their prince forever.
26 And I will make a covenant of
peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land
and increase their numbers, and I will put My Temple among them
forever.
27 I will make My home among them. I
will be their God, and they will be My people.
28 And when My Temple is among them
forever, the nations will know that
I am The Lord, who makes Israel
holy.”
Ezekiel 38:1-22 NLT (Next for
Israel, tribulation-Jacobs Trouble) A Message for Gog
1 This is another message that came
to me from The Lord:
2 “Son of man, turn and face Gog
of the land of Magog, the prince who rules over the nations of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
3 Give him this message from The
Sovereign Lord: Gog, I am your enemy!
4 I will turn you around and put
hooks in your jaws to lead you out with your whole army—your horses
and charioteers in full armor and a great horde armed with shields
and swords.
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya[a]
will join you, too, with all their weapons.
6 Gomer and all its armies will also
join you, along with the armies of Beth-togarmah from the distant
north, and many others.
7 “Get ready; be prepared! Keep
all the armies around you mobilized, and take command of them.
8 A long time from now you will be
called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the
land of Israel, which will be enjoying peace after recovering from
war and after its people have returned from many lands to the
mountains of Israel.
9 You and all your allies—a vast
and awesome army—will roll down on them like a storm and cover the
land like a cloud.
10 “This is what The Sovereign
Lord says: At that time evil thoughts will come to your mind, and you
will devise a wicked scheme.
11 You will say, ‘Israel is an
unprotected land filled with unwalled villages! I will march against
her and destroy these people who live in such confidence!
12 I will go to those formerly
desolate cities that are now filled with people who have returned
from exile in many nations. I will capture vast amounts of plunder,
for the people are rich with livestock and other possessions now.
They think the whole world revolves around them!’
13 But Sheba and Dedan and the
merchants of Tarshish will ask, ‘Do you really think the armies you
have gathered can rob them of silver and gold? Do you think you can
drive away their livestock and seize their goods and carry off
plunder?’
14 “Therefore, son of man,
prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from
The Sovereign Lord: When My people
are living in peace in their land, then you will rouse yourself.
15 You will come from your homeland
in the distant north with your vast cavalry and your mighty army,
16 and you will attack My people
Israel, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant
future, I will bring you against My land as everyone watches, and My
holiness will be displayed by what happens to you, Gog. Then all the
nations will know that I am The Lord.
17 “This is what The Sovereign
Lord asks: Are you the one I was talking about long ago, when I
announced through Israel’s prophets that in the future I would
bring you against My people?
18 But this is what The Sovereign
Lord says: When Gog invades the land of Israel, My fury will boil
over!
19 In My jealousy and blazing anger,
I promise a mighty shaking in the land of Israel on that day.
20 All living things—the fish in
the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, the small
animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people on
earth—will quake in terror at My presence. Mountains will be thrown
down; cliffs will crumble; walls will fall to the earth.
21 I will summon the sword against
you on all the hills of Israel, says
The Sovereign Lord. Your men will
turn their swords against each other.
22 I will punish you and your armies
with disease and bloodshed; I will send torrential rain, hailstones,
fire, and burning sulfur!
23 In this way, I will show My
greatness and holiness, and I will make Myself known to all the
nations of the world. Then they will know that I am The Lord.
Ezekiel 39:1-29 NLT (The
Slaughter of Gog’s Hordes)
1 “Son of man, prophesy against
Gog. Give him this message from The Sovereign Lord: I am your enemy,
O Gog, ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal.
2 I will turn you around and drive
you toward the mountains of Israel, bringing you from the distant
north.
3 I will knock the bow from your
left hand and the arrows from your right hand, and I will leave you
helpless.
4 You and your army and your allies
will all die on the mountains. I will feed you to the vultures and
wild animals.
5 You will fall in the open fields,
for I have spoken, says The Sovereign Lord.
6 And I will rain down fire on Magog
and on all your allies who live safely on the coasts. Then they will
know that I am The Lord.
7 “In this way, I will make known
My holy name among My people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring
shame on it. And the nations, too, will know that I am The Lord, The
Holy One Of Israel.
8 That day of judgment will come,
says The Sovereign Lord. Everything will happen just as I have
declared it.
9 “Then the people in the towns of
Israel will go out and pick up your small and large shields, bows and
arrows, javelins and spears, and they will use them for fuel. There
will be enough to last them seven years!
10 They won’t need to cut wood
from the fields or forests, for these weapons will give them all the
fuel they need. They will plunder those who planned to plunder them,
and they will rob those who planned to rob them, says The Sovereign
Lord.
11 “And I will make a vast
graveyard for Gog and his hordes in the Valley of the Travelers, east
of the Dead Sea. It will block the way of those who travel there, and
they will change the name of the place to the Valley of Gog’s
Hordes.
12 It will take seven months for the
people of Israel to bury the bodies and cleanse the land.
13 Everyone in Israel will help, for
it will be a glorious victory for Israel when I demonstrate My glory
on that day, says The Sovereign Lord.
14 “After seven months, teams of
men will be appointed to search the land for skeletons to bury, so
the land will be made clean again.
15 Whenever bones are found, a
marker will be set up so the burial crews will take them to be buried
in the Valley of Gog’s Hordes.
16 (There will be a town there named
Hamonah, which means ‘horde.’) And so the land will finally be
cleansed.
17 “And now, son of man, this is
what The Sovereign Lord says: Call all the birds and wild animals.
Say to them: Gather together for My great sacrificial feast. Come
from far and near to the mountains of Israel, and there eat flesh and
drink blood!
18 Eat the flesh of mighty men and
drink the blood of princes as though they were rams, lambs, goats,
and bulls—all fattened animals from Bashan!
19 Gorge yourselves with flesh until
you are glutted; drink blood until you are drunk. This is the
sacrificial feast I have prepared for you.
20 Feast at My banquet table—feast
on horses and charioteers, on mighty men and all kinds of valiant
warriors, says The Sovereign Lord.
21 “In this way, I will
demonstrate My glory to the nations. Everyone will see the punishment
I have inflicted on them and the power of My fist when I strike.
22 And from that time on the people
of Israel will know that I am The Lord their God.
23 The nations will then know why
Israel was sent away to exile—it was punishment for sin, for they
were unfaithful to their God. Therefore, I turned away from them and
let their enemies destroy them.
24 I turned My face away and
punished them because of their defilement and their sins.
(Restoration for God’s People)
25 “So now, this is what The
Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of My people; I will
have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard My holy reputation!
26 They will accept responsibility
for their past shame and unfaithfulness after they come home to live
in peace in their own land, with no one to bother them.
27 When I bring them home from the
lands of their enemies, I will display My holiness among them for all
the nations to see.
28 Then My people will know that I
am The Lord their God, because I sent them away to exile and brought
them home again. I will leave none of My people behind.
29 And I will never again turn My
face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit upon the people of
Israel. I, The Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
Zechariah 12:1-3 KJV
1 The burden of The Word Of the Lord
for Israel, saith The Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and
layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man
within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a
cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be
in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make
Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden
themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of
the earth be gathered together against it.
Romans 11:1-36 NLT (God’s
Mercy on Israel)
1 I ask, then, has God rejected His
own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an
Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of
Benjamin.
2 No, God has not rejected His own
people, whom He chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what
the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God
about the people of Israel and said,
3 “Lord, they have killed your
prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now
they are trying to kill me, too.”
4 And do you remember God’s reply?
He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to
Baal!”
5 It is the same today, for a few of
the people of Israel have remained faithful because of God’s
grace—His undeserved kindness in choosing them.
6 And since it is through God’s
kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s
grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.
7 So this is the situation: Most of
the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking
for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the
hearts of the rest were hardened.
8 As the Scriptures say, “God has
put them into a deep sleep. To this day He has shut their eyes so
they do not see, and closed their ears so they do not hear.”
9 Likewise, David said, “Let their
bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is
well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get
what they deserve.
10 Let their eyes go blind so they
cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever.”
11 Did God’s people stumble and
fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God
made salvation available to the Gentiles. But He wanted His own
people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.
12 Now if the Gentiles were enriched
because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation,
think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they
finally accept it.
13 I am saying all this especially
for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the
Gentiles. I stress this,
14 for I want somehow to make the
people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save
some of them.
15 For since their rejection meant
that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance
will be even more wonderful. It will be Life for those who were dead!
16 And since Abraham and the other
patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as
the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an
offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches
will be, too.
17 But some of these branches from
Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken
off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have
been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has
promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment
from the root of God’s special olive tree.
18 But you must not brag about being
grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just
a branch, not the root.
19 “Well,” you may say, “those
branches were broken off to make room for me.”
20 Yes, but remember—those
branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and
you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of
yourself, but fear what could happen.
21 For if God did not spare the
original branches, He won’t spare you either.
22 Notice how God is both kind and
severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if
you continue to trust in His kindness. But if you stop trusting, you
also will be cut off.
23 And if the people of Israel turn
from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the
power to graft them back into the tree.
24 You, by nature, were a branch cut
from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something
contrary to nature by grafting you into His cultivated tree, He will
be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree
where they belong. God’s Mercy Is for Everyone
25 I want you to understand this
mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud
about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but
this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to
Christ.
26 And so all Israel will be saved.
As the Scriptures say, “The One Who Rescues will come from
Jerusalem, and He will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
27 And this is My covenant with
them, that I will take away their sins.”
28 Many of the people of Israel are
now enemies of The Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet
they are still the people He loves because He chose their ancestors
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
29 For God’s gifts and His call
can never be withdrawn.
30 Once, you Gentiles were rebels
against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against Him, God
was merciful to you instead.
31 Now they are the rebels, and
God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s
mercy.
32 For God has imprisoned everyone
in disobedience so He could have mercy on everyone.
33 Oh, how great are God’s riches
and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand
His decisions and His ways!
34 For who can know The Lord’s
thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice?
35 And who has given Him so much
that He needs to pay it back?
36 For everything comes from Him and
exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him
forever! Amen.
Galatians 3:8 KJV
And the scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the
gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Daniels prophetic clock (Daniel
9:20-27) of 70 weeks, has stopped at the 69th week. The
70th week will not start until the church of The Lord
Jesus Christ has been raptured, and the coming false world leader,
signs a 7 year peace treaty with the Jews, for their temple to be
rebuilt.
This world leader will be none other
than the very “son of Satan (the anti-Christ).” After 3 ½ years
and the Jewish temple will be rebuilt, this false world leader, will
set an idol of worship to himself, in the temple, the abomination of
desolation (Matthew 24:15).
The Jewish people will realize only too
late, they have been deceived. Fearing for their lives, they will
run to the hills of Petra. There different Christian organizations,
have hid cases of Bibles marked showing that Jesus is God's spotless
Passover Lamb.
The Jewish people...will find their
Messiah, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Hosea 8:2 KJV
Israel shall cry unto Me, My God, we
know thee.
One hundred and forty four thousand
Jewish men, will be called to evangelize the world (Revelation
7:1-8).
For 3 ½ years their will be Satan's
rule on earth. This 7 year tribulation period will end with the
battle of Armageddon, and with the Second Coming Of Jesus Christ, to
judge the nations and set up His millennial rule on earth (Revelation
14:14-20/ Matthew 25:31-46).
Is The Lord, finished with Israel?
Zechariah 2:8,9 NLT
8 "...The Lord Of Heaven’s
Armies sent me against the nations who plundered you. For He said,
“Anyone who harms you harms My most precious possession.
9 I will raise my fist to crush
them..."
Psalm 122:6 KJV
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.

Isaiah 1:18 KJV
Come now, and let us reason
together, saith The Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.
John 1;12,13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
