"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,"
declares the LORD. "As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the LORD.
"My Spirit will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your
children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore."
(Isaiah 59:20-21)
"And so all Israel shall be saved: As it is written, There shall come out of Zion
the Deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob."
(Romans 11:26)
"A mystery is made known. Blindness in part happened to Israel, until the
fullness of the Gentiles be come in. The fullness of the Gentiles means, the full
number of the saved, gathered out from among the Gentiles, who constitute the
church, the body of Christ. And when the body is joined to the Head in glory,
the time of the coming of the Lord for His Saints (Thessalonians 4:17)
the Lord will turn again to Israel.
All Israel, that is, all Israel living in the day will be saved, when the Deliverer
comes out of Zion (Isaiah 59:20; Psalm 14:7). It is the second, visible, personal,
and glorious coming of the Lord. He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob and
take away their sins. Between the coming of the Lord for the Saints, who will
meet Him in the air, and His coming in great power and glory, are the days of
Jacob's trouble, when the nation will have to pass through the fires of the
tribulation and the wicked among Israel will be cut off.
And, after He comes and has taken away their sins, all the great prophecies of
Israel's earthly glory will be fulfilled. (Romans 11:33-36). A doxology closes the
dispensational section of this epistle. What depths of riches, both of wisdom and
knowledge of God, in His merciful dealings with Gentiles and the Jews! How
unsearchable His judgments! How untraceable His ways! For of Him and
through Him and to Him are all things to whom glory be forever. Amen."
