I am of the view that the rapture is what will make the Jews jealous. Romans 11:11. They are not jealous now. But when the rapture happens and they think they have been forsaken then they will be. That God’s covenant with them has been received by gentiles. And then to endure seven years of hell on earth. I would be terrified if I didn’t know Christ and saw much of the world disappear. But remember they will receive strong delusions to accept the situation and the my opinion is the man of lawlessness will be a very charismatic person, so all will accept him without question. If the media had gotten on the trump train, I would have wondered about him more, just saying! :prayer-hands: Whit: How could Israel be jealous since they think Jesus is a false messiah?! And as mentioned they will embrace the AC?! Tammie: Charismatic or not Israel is still seeking a political answer and the worlds approval! TR Maybe they become jealous at midpoint of the trib after the AC defiles their temple? They will be totally confused and upset their dream was shattered when the covenant is broken and perhaps they will ponder what the 2 Witnesses and 144,000 were preaching about for the past 3 1/2 years? :unsure: Question ... does the AC go after ALL the Jews to persecute them? Or will he only go after the ones (including the Gentiles) who refuse to take his mark? Well said Sis! Also a good question. He will persecute all for the sake of persecution I expect. But he will employ every opportunity to chase after those that defy him! IMHO His hatred for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people I think was well demonstrated by Nazi Germany! Again, it is his mission to keep as many as possible from being in relationship with their Creator God! TR
