Yes. The Jews were promised a King we Christians a savior. After the world is judged for 1000 years Christ will rule a Kingdom of Jews on earth and many of them will still deny him. Satan will be released for the last time to claim his own and Satan death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire.

If you go looking in the bible for a justification of your position, you'll always be able to find one. Hitler did and look what happened to Germany and the Jews. All justified by the bible.
