Israel has NOT lost Gods favor (title edited by mod)

@servant1

In Ez. 36, God tells the mountains His chosen people, the Jews, are coming back to His lands.
And Ez. 37, the valley of the dry bones. After the Holocaust, the Jews came back from their ashes.
They came to stand on their feet, and muscle an skin was given to them. The start-up nation.
"But there was not yet Spirit in them".

That will come, when they see Yeshua HaMaschiach, they will cry over Hem as over a firstborn son.
(Zech. 12:10)

And so all Israel shall be saved! (Rom. 11)
I have a few minutes to look in here. When Israel disobeyed God's command to give the land its Sabbath, He let them carry on for 490 years and then exiled them in Babylon for 70 yrs to repay the 70 Sabbaths missed.

During this 70 yr period God said the land would be barren without its people. No one could grow anything - it became a wilderness.

The same thing happened in AD70 when God cast Israel out of the land, it became a barren wilderness again until 1948.

This is how we prove God's hand is on Israel, He lifted the curse on the land.

Remember the book you and Dave have?

Israeli cows and bees have the highest yields in the world in the Land of milk and honey. The desert blossoms like a rose.

God fished for His people to come back to His land and now time is running out so He is sending hunters in the nations to chase them out with hatred.

You can get the verses for all of this.

The land tells us God is not finished with Israel, He's only getting warmed up for the end time Gog Invasion.

Blessings! Got to run...
 
How God is dealing with Israel today. Jer.16 Fishing time is over, now the hunters to chase His flock back home...

14“Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’15but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had banished them.’ For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.

16“Behold, I am going to send for many fishermen,” declares the LORD, “and they will fish for them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and every hill and from the clefts of the rocks.17For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their wrongdoing concealed from My eyes.18I will first repay them double for their wrongdoing and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable idols and their abominations.”

I'm likely in a very small minority, but I take Ezekiel 37 and Romans 11 to mean that God will physically resurrect ALL of Israel from the beginning, put them in Israel, and bless them with faith. Perhaps at the same time as/immediately after The Rapture? if that marks the end of the time/fullness of time of the Gentiles?

1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 37, KJV

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans 11:25-33.KJV

It's important to understand what All of Israel is when Paul says All of Israel will be saved.
Take notice of Paul's words here...

"And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob"
Romans 11:26

Now notice this...

6 "But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”

Examining what Paul is saying, it appears that only those who are of the seed of Abraham, Issac and Jacob are (Israel).
These are the ones God made His Covenant with. Descendants of Jacob.
There are many Jews but not all are from the seed that received The Promise, through whom Jesus Messiah came through the line of Judah one of the sons of Jacob. Esau is from Abraham too. He didn't have the covenant with God.
I take a guess that's why 2/3 of the Jews perish during The Tribulation. Those wouldn't be in the Covenant God made with Abraham and his seed. The remnant of Israel will call on Jesus and Jesus returns to judge the nations and save Israel.

Agreed, the seed of Ishmael and Easu are not Israel. Only Jacob (Israel)
