How can there be a future for the nation of Israel since they rejected the Messiah?

Question

Romans 11: 26 - 27 -
The nation of Israel clearly rejected Jesus as their Messiah ( Rom 9-10, John 1: 10-11 )
And the Bible says that the promises of Abraham go to his spiritual seed, not his descendants according to the flesh ( Rom 4: Gal:3 ).
Why then does Romans 11 speak of the future for the nation of Israel?

There are promises to Abraham's literar descendants(spiritual seed), the Jews, that have never yet been completely fulfilled.
God promised that Abraham's literar descendants would inerit the land of Palestine forever. ( Gen 12:1-3, 13: 15-17, 15:7-21, 17:8 )
Only one short time in Israel's history did they inherit this land ( Josh 11:23 ), but God gave it to them by unconditional oath (Gen 15:7-21) "forever" (Gen 13:15), as an"everlasting possession" (17:8). Since God cannot break unconditional promise ( Heb 6:17-18, 2 Tim 2:13), this promise is yet to be fullfilled for the nation of Israel.

There is reason to believe that God will honor His unconditional covenant to Israel to give them the land of Palestine forever.

Only Father knows times and seasons.

Answer 1

Because in the future they will be given another chance and will accept Christ as the Messiah. God loves His people, the Jews, and in the end will bring them to salvation through Jesus Christ. They rejected Him once, and the result has been incredible pain for the nation, but in the end they will turn around. God loves the Jewish people, and therefore all Christians should do likewise.

Answer 2

I believe that can best be answered by referring to the quotation, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first"
During Christ's ministry, he taught the Jews to the exclusions of the Gentiles, but when the Jews rejected him he sent his apostles to all the earth. In the same way that the Jews were first and the Gentiles last, there will come a time when the gentiles also reject the Messiah and Jews will have a chance to recognize him again as a nation. when that time comes, every knee shall bow and they shall know him as their Savior. That is why the future is spoken of for the Jews, because they are no more guilty of the sins of their ancestors than you or I. Although, they are burdened with some of the consequences.
I'm sorry that I cannot reference verse and chapter, but I believe you can find the information I referred to if you are interested in doing so.

Answer 3

both diverse genealogies given for Jesus interior the NT each and each and every have issues in qualifying him to be the Davidic Messiah, even if that factor is moot. He become not in any respect an anointed King of Israel. Now to the contact upon one answer and clarify the actuality of the ideas he refers to in an insulting way. How conceited to assume that Jews who've kept and studied Torah for generations do not comprehend our own faith, yet somebody else who adheres to a change theology does. The Talmudic students who've a idea of a Mosiach ben Yosef, communicate of him on the on the spot preceeding the Davidic Mosiach. surely, Mosiach ben Yosef is to be the protection force chief for the Davidic Mosaich, and IF he's killed in conflict, stands out because the first of the resurrected in the course of the reign of the Davidic Mosiach. Does that sound like something that has befell yet? Mosiach skill anointed, so there have been many messiahs. King David turned right into a messiah. Even a NON Jewish king interior the Tanakh is termed a messiah, an anointed of God, for the way he preserved the Jewish people. Why someone would assume that Jews who understand even a amateur factor of Hebrew mutually with myself, doesn't understand this or carry close that, is ...nicely frankly, truly condascending and insulting. i believe Captain become relying on the inability of expertise of the commonly non-Jewish target market in not understanding that his statements were completely deceptive. Rabbinic students debated and stated both Messiah theory and believed that it become not needed that Mosiach ben Yosef seem earlier the Davidic Mosiach..it will be the placement of humanity and the area of the international interior the era on the on the spot preceeding the Messianic Age which will ascertain it. Please examine lower than for a scholarly article i stumbled on in this theory, that incorporates the references in Tanakh and Talmud from which it derives.

Answer 4

Have you ever heard of the Prodigal Son. There is nowhere in the Bible that says that Israelis as a whole or as individuals cannot turn back to God and accept Jesus as their Messiah, in-fact in Revelations it clearly states that is exactly what will happen, even if it is not Israel as a whole. The fact is they are God's chosen people and he has let people like Hitler and Stalin thin their numbers, but he has never let his people be totally destroyed. He still loves those that have fallen away from him and when they return to him, he will kill the fattened calf-so to speak-and throw a banquet in their honor just like the parable. God still desires for them to seek and accept him. Also on a side note, the prophecies in Revelations cannot be fulfilled without the nation of Israel. .

Answer 5

There are messianic Jews, and Rabbis that have accepted Jesus as the Messiah. The bible tells us that Jesus will return when nations are lined up against Israel and He will defend Israel. God made a covenant with Israel and it will never be totally destroyed. The 144,000 that go about preaching the gospel will be Jews.

Answer 6

"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited:Isreal has experienced a hardening in part until the number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will 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.' As far as the gospel is concerned, thear are enemies on our account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable." Rom 11: 25-29

I'm pretty sure that that is saying that the Jews will be saved.

My personal belief from what I have read in the scriptures is that what is the second return for Christians will be the reign of the Messiah for the Jews.

Answer 7

Replacement Theology is a fringe belief today, rejected by God-fearing Protestant Christians, and the Vatican as well.

A serious reading of the Bible shows clearly that God made an everlasting covenant with Israel. Semantic pandering cannot invalidate the clear word of God.

Leviticus 26:44-45 – (44) And despite all this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them nor will I reject them to annihilate them, thereby breaking My covenant with them; for I am the L-rd their G-d. (45) And I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be a G-d to them; I am the L-rd.

Judges 2:1 - And an angel of the L-rd came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said [in G-d's name], "I will bring you up from Egypt, and I have brought you to the land which I swore to your forefathers, and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you.'"

Ezekiel 16:59-60 – (59) For thus said the L-rd G-d [to Jerusalem]: "I have done with you in accordance to that which you have done, that you have despised an oath in breaking a covenant. (60) Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.

Psalms 105:8-10 – (8) He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations. (9) That which He had made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac; (10) And He established it for Jacob as a law, and for Israel as an everlasting covenant;

Answer 8

Because Roman's 11 clearly states that God hardened their hearts for the sake of the gentiles. As much as many people want to believe that Jews have to become Christians to be saved, Roman's 11 shows us different.

Answer 9

Because all Israel will be saved. cf Romans 11:26-36 and Isaiah 66:8.

Answer 10

The future of Isreal in the Bible I do believe, is it would become a nation once again. This has already happened. It is the only future I am aware of in the Bible, without having to look.

And most Jews are not Christians anyways. They think Jesus was a prophet (I know... I talked to one once), and what we would call our second coming, is their first coming.
