Paradox: if the jews have to be in jerusalem for the rapture...?

Question

but christians all tell the jews they are going to be left behind... what happens if all of the jews decide to listen to the christians and convert? then, no rapture? the christians have been sucessfully converting jews for 2000 years ... so whats a few hundred more? and once they're gone, then you don't have the prophecy anymore. isn't that a paradox?

and some sects of christianity advocate that converting others to christianity is the right thing to do... so if you convert all the jews, then none will be left to be in jerusalem for the rapture. anyway, i am not trying to offend ppl... just curious since I only learned what the rapture was recently online in yahoo answers - honestly... of all places.

Answer 1

The Jews are in Israel. All the Jew will not convert. They are the Chosen People and God as a special purpose for them. They do not see Jesus as Messiah, for they are blinded to the true identity of the Messiah until the 2nd coming of Jesus. They will know Jesus at the 2nd coming and there work will begin during the tribulation, after the rapture, except for those already accepting him as Savior maybe.

Answer 2

Wow!
Dmd, I don't want to break the bubble you have so successfully chosen to live in until now, but I am a Jew, and I am not in Israel!
Insane, huh?

Sorry, jsquare, for needing to interrupt there a moment. As we have all heard, God says there will be a rapture, so there will be a rapture! BUT... he did say the Jews would have to be in Jerusalem and then told his people to convert them all. I guess the Christians who have responded to your questionon here thus far are keeping a count and once there are only 12,000 in each "tribe" they will bring a halt to conversion, in order to prove this prophecy true. However, if they do that, they will not be following the Word of God and will most likely, according to themselves, end up in hell.

Today alone, I prophesied being too lazy to make dinner and having a frozen meal. I was right! Those "Kid Cuisines" are sooo good; the chocolate pudding is delectable. I also prophesied ice in Antarctica, the end of communism in the USSR, the beginnings of a dictatorship in America, and (after only one sniff) the idea that I had burned the last piece of pizza. I was right all times! Does this make me God? No. Because God's prophecies were not all fulfilled like mine (though people will tell you, they will be soon, dammit! And then you'll be sorry!). Why when people don't know the answer to a question do they respond defensively? Ah, well, that's a question for another day.

Watch out, jsquare. If you are not converted you too may have to join a "tribe" in Israel and watch, enraptured, as everyone experiencing the true Rapture dances and sings and speaks in tongues and wakes up the next day saying "Wha'? What...where is it? Oh, Goddamnit, nothing happened!"

Answer 3

Jerusalem became the classic, historic capital of the united u . s . of Israel under kings Saul, David, and Solomon, and the positioning of the Temple, the middle of their non secular practices; after the country chop up into Judah and Israel, it remained the capital of Judah (from the place the term "Jew" derives) for countless hundred greater years, until its capture with the aid of the Persian empire. Even then, it grew to become the community capital back of the Jewish human beings under that empire, and under the subsequent Greek and Roman empires. It became nevertheless the capital -- with its very own (however subservient) king -- on the time of the existence of Christ. It became not until 70AD that one and all Jews have been compelled from the city and the Temple destroyed. The Jews remained a coherent faith in the process the creation and upward push of the two Christianity and Islam. Like Islam, Judaism has the two non secular and governmental factors that can not be fulfilled without the city of Jerusalem. The Jews are like no different historic team: coherent perception equipment and lifestyle, yet for 1900 years, no fatherland or capital collectively as they have been chased from u . s . to u . s ., consistently under persecution. the human beings of the international finally desperate in the process the UN that this tiny piece of land and an inconsequential (on the time) little city of Jerusalem might desire to as quickly as back belong to the Jews. it is the main sacred city of the Jews, and the only place that their faith can enable the Temple of God to be geared up. No different faith with an declare to Jerusalem has this requirement. advantages. /Orthodox (Christian)

Answer 4

Well God Said The Jews Will Come Back To Him! God's Word Is The Truth There For They Will Not Be Left Behind!
So There's Your Anser!

Answer 5

We know all the Jews won't be converted, God tells us this. He selected 12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel for that reason. Rapture will happen. To doubt this is to doubt God is all He says He is and to doubt His word. His word is the Truth, so it will be as He says.

Answer 6

If a Jew believes that Jesus is the Messiah, they do not have to become a Christian (stop doing Jewish customs) but they become Messianic Jews.

Most Jews will not believe that Jesus is the Messiah until they see Him coming back in the clouds.

Answer 7

Yes the Christians want to force all the Jews to live in Israel so that they can start armageddon.

Answer 8

why anyone with a brain would believe in mumbo jumbo is a REAL paradox.
