Not really. In the Old Testament the Israelites did not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as we do today. That indwelling didn’t happen until after Christ ascended. The Holy Spirit did speak to them. Remember that God is dealing with the Israelites during that seven year period just as He did prior to Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension. It can’t be grace and law.

Are you implying there will no Gentiles saved during the tribulation and only Hebrews? I understand the focus is on Israel, the Hebrews all 12 tribes, but that redemption as a people does not come until Christ returns.

No I’m not. There will likely be some of both although it doesn’t really say who those saints will be. They however will not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as we do today since He will be “taken out of the way”.

I agree with that statement.
