End Time Prophetic Promises to Israel - Messianic Literary Corner

The   purpose of this study is to better understand the many prophecies  given  to the nation of Israel concerning the return or reign of the  Messiah  in the "Latter Days". The term "Latter Days" is used in both  New and Old  Covenant scriptures describing the events surrounding the  coming of the  Messiah and the age following His coming.

This   study shows both Christians and Jews that the purposes of God toward   both the nation of Israel and the Church are inseparable, and in many   cases identical. The tremendous literary weight of these scriptures   leads us to an understanding that Yeshua (Jesus) himself will initiate a   reconciliation with Israel and will include the Church in many of the   blessings promised to Israel in the future.

The  mystery of  what will become of both Israel and the Church is not really  hard to  solve. It appears that the Lord will merge the Israeli national   identity and the Christian identity in that day.

Romans 11: 25-27   I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery brothers, so that you   may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until   the full number of Gentiles has come in. And so will all Israel be   saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will   turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them  when  I take away their sins."

Isaiah 11:10-17 In   that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner, for the peoples;  the  nations will rally to him... He will raise a banner for the nations  and  gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people  of  Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Isaiah 30:19-26 O people of Zion who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help.

Isaiah 40:1-5 Comfort,   comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and   proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin   has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double  for  all her sins. A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the  way  for the LORD ; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our  God.  Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;  the  rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And  the  glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will  see  it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Isaiah 52:1-3 Awake,   awake, O Zion, clothe yourself with strength. Put on your garments of   splendor, O Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled  will  not enter you again. Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, O   Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, O captive   Daughter of Zion. For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for   nothing, and without money you will be redeemed."

Isaiah 54:6-8   The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and   distressed in spirit-- a wife who married young, only to be rejected,"   says your God. "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep   compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face  from  you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have  compassion  on you," says the LORD your Redeemer.

Hosea 2:14-16   "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the   desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her   vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she   will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of   Egypt. "In that day," declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my  husband';  you will no longer call me 'my master.'

Zephaniah 3:14-17   Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice   with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away   your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of   Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm. On that day   they will say to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands   hang limp. The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He  will  take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he  will  rejoice over you with singing."

Zechariah 8:13-15   As you have been an object of cursing among the nations, O Judah and   Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be   afraid, but let your hands be strong." This is what the LORD Almighty   says: "Just as I had determined to bring disaster upon you and showed  no  pity when your fathers angered me," says the LORD Almighty, "so now I   have determined to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be   afraid.

Zechariah 8:23  This is what  the LORD Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all  languages and  nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his  robe and say,  'Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is  with you."

Isaiah 49:19-21   "Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste,  now  you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you  will  be far away. The children born during your bereavement will yet  say in  your hearing, 'This place is too small for us; give us more  space to  live in.' Then you will say in your heart, 'Who bore me these?  I was  bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought  these up? I  was left all alone, but these--where have they come from?'"

Isaiah 54:1-3   "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song,   shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the   children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the   LORD. "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains  wide,  do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.  For you  will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants  will  dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

Zechariah 2:10   "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will   live among you," declares the LORD. "Many nations will be joined with   the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you   and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Isaiah 2:4   He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many   peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears   into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor   will they train for war anymore.

Isaiah 33:17-20   Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that   stretches afar. In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:   "Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took the revenue?   Where is the officer in charge of the towers?" You will see those   arrogant people no more, those people of an obscure speech, with their   strange, incomprehensible tongue. Look upon Zion, the city of our   festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that   will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its   ropes broken.

Isaiah 41:11-12 "All   who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; thopose you   will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you   will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing  at  all.

Isaiah 2:3   Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of   the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways,   so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the   word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Zechariah 8:3   This is what the LORD says: "I will return to Zion and dwell in   Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the   mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.

Zechariah 14:1-9   A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among   you. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it;  the  city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.  Half  of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will  not be  taken from the city. Then the LORD will go out and fight against  those  nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet  will  stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of  Olives  will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley,  with  half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will  flee  by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee  as you  fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.  Then the  LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that  day there  will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day,  without  daytime or nighttime--a day known to the LORD. When evening  comes, there  will be light. On that day living water will flow out from  Jerusalem,  half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in  summer and in  winter. The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On  that day there  will be one LORD, and his name the only name.

Zechariah 12:10 "And   I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem  a  spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they   have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only   child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.   On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of   Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. The land will mourn, each clan  by  itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of  David  and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,  the  clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and  their  wives, and all the rest of the clans and their wives. "On that  day a  fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants  of  Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

Ezekial 37:24-25 "'My   servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one   shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.   They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where   your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's   children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their   prince forever.

Amos 9:11   "In that day I will restore David's fallen tent. I will repair its   broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be.

Micah 4:8   As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of   Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come  to  the Daughter of Jerusalem."

Ezekial 43:6-7   While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me   from inside the temple. He said: "Son of man, this is the place of my   throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will  live  among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again   defile my holy name--neither they nor their kings--by their  prostitution  and the lifeless idols of their kings at their high  places.

Ezekial 44:10   "'The Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray and who   wandered from me after their idols must bear the consequences of their   sin. They may serve in my sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the   temple and serving in it; they may slaughter the burnt offerings and   sacrifices for the people and stand before the people and serve them.

Zechariah 14:16-17   Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem   will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and   to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the   earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD Almighty,   they will have no rain.
