Saved Out Of Jacob's Trouble

Israel
Yet in the midst of this tribulation, the Messianic remnant is continuing to grow in Israel. People are being saved every day. A miracle is happening before our eyes. The New Covenant scriptures speak of a time of tribulation in the end times (Matthew 24, Mark 13). It also speaks of "all Israel being saved" – Romans 11:26. The idea of end time's tribulation and of Israel being saved, both come from the same source.
Jeremiah 30:7 – "It is a time of tribulation for
Jacob, and he will be saved from it."
Daniel 12:1 – "There will be a time of trouble… and at that time your
people will be saved"
When Paul (Saul) spoke of Israel's salvation and Yeshua spoke of end time tribulation, they both had in mind these verses (among others). The tribulation and the salvation are connected to one another. From this we learn:
As Israel is in the process of being saved, the devil is panicking and furious because he knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12). Israel's salvation is the last stage of the kingdom of God before the Second Coming and the Resurrection of the Dead.
For almost two thousand years, it was impossible to think of Israel being a nation, let alone there being a revival within that nation. But today, despite Islamic Jihad and worldwide anti-Semitism, the nation of Israel has been reestablished, and there are over 10,000 Messianic Jews living in the land. All these believers are united in prayer, praise, and prophecy that "all Israel will be saved," and are willing to face the tribulation that will go with it.
It is important in these times that we know the covenant promise of divine protection from evil.
Psalm 91:10-11 – No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to protect you in all your ways.
