Jehovah-Jesus,
the Saviour, is the only Hope of Israel, as said the prophet, "O the hope
of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble" (Jer. 14:8). “All Israel shall be saved":but how? and when? There is no salvation for Israel as a people until "they acknowledge their offence" (Hosea 5:15) and turn to their
long and bitterly rejected Messiah, saying, "Blessed is He that cometh
(not that came) in the name of the Lord" (Matt. 23:39); then, and not till
then, shall they see Him. Through mercy we have believed in Him whom we have
not seen; Israel, Thomas-like, will believe when they see (John 20:29). This
national blessing of Israel—effected by looking upon Him whom they have
pierced—is yet future, as Zech. 12 clearly shows. Before this blessing comes, Israel will be besieged again, not as before by the Romans, but by the northeastern powers
of the closing days. Jerusalem will be captured once and will be about to fall
into the hands of the enemies of Jehovah’s land the second time, when the Lord
interferes by descending from heaven with His heavenly saints (Zech. 14:5).
With His feet planted on Mount Olivet, He will deliver His people and destroy
their foes. Israel will then mourn in the presence of her Messiah as did
Jacob’s children in the presence of Joseph, of which it is a type. Then will
have arrived the times and the seasons when the kingdom will be restored
"again" to Israel (Acts 1:6,7); when the glorious declarations of
prophets . . . will be fulfilled to the very letter. The 2nd Psalm is an actual
and true description of these millennial days. Israel’s hope, then, whether for
conversion as a people, or for glory of millennial times, is the personal
return of her Messiah. "The Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them
that turn from transgressions in Jacob, saith the Lord." …Then follows a
description of Zion’s glory, which for the beauty of language is matchless
(Isaiah 60). Read the prophets as descriptive of what will actually take place.
Alas! that Christians should seek to deny or fritter away the plain and obvious
meaning of the numerous predictions in the Old Testament, which intimate a
glorious future for Israel.
