I’m not so sure a connection can be drawn from the “full number of gentiles” coming in to an instant rapture, then in following Israels’ heart starts to soften towards God. What I think happens is a dovetailing of events, the fullness of gentiles starts to come in as jews’ hearts start to open and somewhere in the mix Christ may come to raise the dead in Christ(and those saints remaining alive) taking his church to heaven with him, but not before the unveiling of the son of perdition as the NT states. After all, the saints will have a hard time not being deceived(’were it possible’ as the Bible says) by the Son of Perdition, which denotes the reality that there are still numbers of saints around to actually note the AC’s rising!
Scripture tells us that there will be multitudes who are saved during the Tribulation period. The Church will have been taken out, according to the Bible, before the Antichrist makes his appearance.
The "saints" referred to as being susceptible to the deception of the Antichrist are those who are saved during the Tribulation.
There are scores of verses in the Bible which assures the Church that we will not be going through God's wrath during the Tribulation, but what really finalizes it for me is the fact that during the Tribulation, not only is there no mention of the Church, but the job of the Church, the Great Commission, has been reassigned to the 144,000 sealed Jewish witnesses and to angels.
Where is the Church? Why has the job that Jesus gave to the Church been given to others?
I heard that a record number of Jews are accepting Christ as the Messiah. I have to link but I heard it from someone I think has an ear in Israel.
