Scripture tells us that God will allow Satan and his angels to stir up ALL nations against Christianity twice during the Christian Age.
During the first of two world wide persecutions, the attack will begin on the church, and then spread to the Jews. MOST of the Jews, world wide, will be killed. Those who are left will turn in full faith to Jesus of Nazareth, the true Messiah of the Jews, and He will deliver those who are left, and turn them into the mightiest Christian nation this world has ever seen, or ever will see.
The results will be breathtaking. Not heaven. Not Jesus ruling from here on earth, but a nation turning fully and completely to the Lord of Glory. The Jews will bring great blessings on both themselves and on the entire world.

For an overview of how the Jews turned away from their God, and His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, and finally turn back to God, read Jewish Chronicles by Neal Fain.
Isaiah 49 talks about what the true Messiah, the true Christ, of the Jews will do in Isaiah 49:6, which says,
“yes, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
Then of all things, Paul says that Isaiah 49:6 is a command to us!

Yes, it is a fact, even Old Testament prophecy contains commands to us, both Jew and those of the nations, the gentiles.
For an overview of the Christian age, read Revealing the Christian Age by Neal Fain.
For details of the part the Jews will finally play in all of this, read Jewish Chronices by Neal Fain. Both are available from your book seller.
The Jews are a very divided nation religiously. The Jews probably have more atheists among them than any other nation on earth. Many of the so-called conservative Jews are the into the occult, and many of their teachings are so strange that many Jews will not go close to a synagogue.
But Isaiah 49 clearly pictures Jesus as bringing the Jews around to full and dedicated obedience to God. That is clearly something which has NOT HAPPENED YET!
It is interesting to see Paul’s take on these issues.

Some argue that the Jews as a group will NEVER turn to their own Messiah, Jesus the Christ. But the prophet Jeremiah says that at a certain time,
“At that time, says Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.” Jer 31:1.
Read the story of how the Jews turned aside from following their God, and where this has led, and where this will lead. Read Neal Fain’s Jewish Chronicles, available from your bookseller.
Despite the rejection of the true Messiah of the Jews, by the Jews, which is clearly pictured in Isaiah 49 and many other passages in the both the Old and the New Testaments, God clearly says that He WILL NOT forsake the Jews. Indeed, in Isaiah 49 it pictures the gentiles, the nations, protecting the Jews and their children, bringing them to their Messiah and then rebuilding their nation, after what is implied to be some tremendous catastrophe.

When the Jews finally turn to Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth, it will bring about glory and honor and riches to Jews, and a complete turn around of the world’s attitudes toward Christianity.

This Servant of the Lord will be a light to the entire world. According to this prophecy it is far too small a thing for this Servant of the Lord to only the Jews. This Servant is to save the entire world!
Then comes a big problem, because this Servant feels that all of His work is in vain. Then it clearly pictures the Messiah, the Christ, as being rejected by the Jews. So what is this?

The rejection of the True Messiah of the Jews, by the Jews, it turns out, is a big subject in both the Old and New Testaments.
So what led up to all of this? For more information, from both Testaments and from history, read Jewish Chroniciles by Neal Fain. Available from your bookseller.
God speaks in the early part of this chapter of His Son Israel. Is He speaking of the nation of Israel. Will it be Israel as a nation that will first save themselves, and then save the world? Or is there something else working here?

There is much more to learn about this special Servant of the Lord.
Often we first need to learn how Bible prophecy works. One place to learn about these things is from Prophecy Principles, by Neal Fain. Available from your bookseller. More information is from the “About the Books,” tab, at the top of this site.
Of course the Jews have long and adamantly rejected the One and Only Savior of the World. So much so that many think the Jews will never turn around to their God. Scripture however says that this will for sure happen. Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth goes even further and says, “For most assuredly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.” Mtt 5:18
That means that those Old Testament promises of the Jews turning to their Messiah will YET happen.

For more information on the history of the Jews, how they went astray from God, and where this has led, and how all of this end up, read Jewish Chronicles.
In a time of stress, way before the Second Coming, persecution will start world wide on the church first. This will this spread to persecution of the Jews, and in some extreme circumstances the Jews will at last turn to their One and Only True Savior, Jesus the Christ The results will bring about tremendous changes for the good world-wide, for the Jews, for the church, for the gospel, and for the world.
God has many ways to make our sins come down on our own ears. One those, which is prominently addressed in Isaiah 24 is the land, the earth, being cursed because of our sins, which of course has been the case from the first.
Of course another way that God sometimes uses to bring the fruits of our sins down on us is of war. Both the gospels of Matthew and Luke make it clear that Jerusalem will be destroyed because of the sins of the Jewish nation in rejecting their own Messiah, Jesus the Christ.
But the gospel discussions of the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD also kind of slides into a discussion of the end of the world. Many seem to miss the point, but it seems that the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD is also symbolic of the way it will be at the end of this present world.

Of course these are terrible things that have happened to the Jews, even though significant numbers have been converted to Christ down through the Christian age.
In the end there will be a complete turnaround of the Jews. Jeremiah pictures a day when,
“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of ALL the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.” Jer 31:1
Of course, that day has not happened YET! It will only happen after a time of severe stress for both Christians and Jews, and of that day it says.
“Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.” Jer 31:2.
This is not about a so-called millennial kingdom, but rather of the time when a very stubborn people at last turn to their own Messiah, and bring about a complete world turnaround for the church of Jesus of Nazareth the Christ of God. Then will be fulfilled what it says in Dan 2:35, that the church/kingdom will “fill the whole earth.”
The full story, of both how the Jews got side tracked, and how at last they will be turned around, is told in my third book, Jewish Chronicles. Available from your book seller.
Harlotry is a big subject in Scripture, and Harlotry in the Old Testament Hebrew sense, includes not only women, but also men, and it includes all types of promiscuous behavior.
Also there is the Great Harlot in Scripture. She is symbolized by ancient Tyre and Sidon. She is a Religio-Commercial-Political entity which has dominated world trade, and many nations, evidently since pre-Christian times.
But God is going to relieve Himself of His enemies, and is going to restore the Jews to faithfulness in His Messiah, Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth. Scripture tells us these things will happen at some point in the Christian Age, when the Jews are in great distress.

These issues are dealt with in detail in my third book, Jewish Chronicles. The discussion there starts with how the Jews got off track from faithfulness to their God, and where this has led, and where this is going.

Israel and Judah were very lawless and sinful in the 8th century BC, that is to say in the prophet Isaiah’s time. There was much worship of false god, much violence and personal revenge, and only the most superficial sorts of worship of the living God.
They, like many of us, “knew” many things which are false, but did not REALLY know the living and true God.
