The Bible is like a book it has a beginning and an end just like the life we live and as we are living in the last of the last days of grace the bible tell us that there will be Psalms83/Isiahia17 war then the Ezekiel 38 war the anti Christ will come and Israel will make a covenant with hell then Jacobs troubles will start and then the 1000 year rule of GodJesus . But where in all this is the Rapture?At the present time Israel’s calling, as the people of God, is set aside. Now this doesn’t mean they are forsaken forever. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance. At a future point in time God will again take up Israel as His people and deal with them as a people, as a nation – the prophecies that point to the future millennium declare Israel’s restoration in the land as again recognized as ‘the people of God’. But their desolation, which has continued for nearly two thousand years, is clearly taught by Jesus in the gospels – Matt. 23:37-39 and Luke 13:34-35.When Jesus came at first it was in the humility of love, goodness, and mercy. However this first coming was based on the principle of human responsibility in Israel. They were tested in this same principle for fifteen hundred years by the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai. God was looking for obedience and righteousness, but never found any fruit. This was confirmed by Isaiah in his prophecies (Isa. 5:1-7). It was confirmed by Jesus as well (Matt. 21:18-19). When Paul shows God setting Israel aside and turning to the Gentiles at the end of the book of Acts, he quotes Isaiah’s condemning prophecy (Acts 28:25-28). Jesus Himself, as well as John, testified that Isaiah’s words were fulfilled in the Jews when they rejected Him (Matt. 13:13-15, John 12:37-41). When tested by the law Israel produced no fruit acceptable to God. The presentation of Messiah to Israel was the last testing of responsibility in man (Matt. 21:37). This final testing was God Himself coming to Israel, not by law, but in goodness and grace (John 1:17). It was met with failure. Israel did not receive Him, although He had come unto His own (John 1:11). So for 2 thousand years GodJesus has been building his bride from Jew to Genital in the time of Grace! But some day GodJesus will call the bride home and start dealing directly with Israel again ...'Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy
