I have never been to Israel. But at the Bible Museum in DC there is a multi dimensional layout of the City of Jerusalem in the late Second Temple Period. It is so cool. I could stare at it all day.... Down the road a piece is the Holocaust Museum. I have been there too... many times. It is hard to come away from there without deep mourning over the tragic history of the Jewish People. As you point out, God is moving swiftly now on their behalf. In this Country it is easy to think that we are the center of the Universe... and that everything can be solved by government. But Israel knows better. Look up Israel your redemption draws near! I have often asked the Lord, how to pray for the peace of Israel? The Tribulation period is yet to come. That will not go easy on them, or anyone else left behind for that matter. But the Millennial Kingdom speaks of better times for all Believers, including those who will come to know their Messiah in Israel, soon. To this end I pray.

Beautifully written Kris! I had the honor of traveling to Israel. Your senses.... all of them are activated. The smells, sounds, beauty, and Biblical history come to life... it's truly life-changing. Everywhere you go you deeply feel His presence. I hope to travel there again with my family.... there's nothing like it on the planet.

Oh yes, I can’t wait!! I look forward to seeing it for the first time when we come together with Jesus as His Army at His Second Coming! Revelation 19:11-16!

I also believe we are the Fig Tree generation and we will see many miraculous signs and wonders regarding Israel and the world. I don't think it is going to be long, we wait with expectation and hope. Maranatha.

Pastor Jimmy, beautiful post about Israel. You mentioned in your book how important it is for us to financially support the Jewish people. Can you give us some suggestions.... we want to wrap around the Chosen Ones with love and support. I'd love to know how to do that right here in Texas. (and all the places our Tipping Point friends live) How can we be the bridge?

I’ve read that God has set a remnant of 144,000 Jews to preach to the world about Jesus who came and died for the sins of the world. My question is will there be more Jewish people to receive Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior than the 144,000 ?

Hey Jennifer, Kris gave a great answer! Many more than the 144,000 Jews will be saved and at the end of the Tribulation the entire nation gets saved (less those who have been killed)! Zechariah chapters 12 - 14 will show you the details.

Yes that makes sense, thanks.

Hi Jennifer, I will take a crack at this and say yes (Jimmy Evans may decide to jump in if he decides to answer you personally). This happens at the beginning of the Tribulation. If you are thinking “Great Harvest” this would be it. Jews, or Gentiles - lots of people are going to get Saved as a result of the preaching of the 144,000 Jewish Witnesses. It is the opportunity for those who are left behind, whoever they are, to hear the gospel of Jesus, and trust Him as their personal Savior,(Revelation 7:9). And still many may be Saved before the Tribulation starts, as the Gospel is still being spread now by the Church.
