JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL DURING THE TRIBULATION Part-1

THE JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL DURING THE TRIBULATION 

    The Scriptures have given us many reasons why the Tribulation will come. Some of these include: to feed Israel with judgment; to execute judgment; to destroy the fat and strong of Israel; because Israel has forgotten the God of their salvation, and they have not kept in mind the Rock of their strength, which is Jesus; to cause Israel to seek Jesus and be obedient to His Word; and to destroy the sinners out of the land.
   During this time, two-thirds of Israel will be cut off and die, but one-third shall be refined and brought through this horrible period.
   This is a judgment upon Israel during the Tribulation. Israel is the center of what is happening during this period. As a result of this judgment upon Israel, multitudes will come to Jesus.
   Jesus shall come unto them that turn from their transgressions. Upon the house of David and Jerusalem, the Lord will pour out the Spirit of grace. It is written, SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED-Ro 11:26.
   Then Jesus will reign and rule the entire earth from Jerusalem for one thousand years.

    It is written, ZION SHALL BE REDEEMED WITH JUDGMENT, AND HER CONVERTS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS-Isa 1:27.
   AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SURELY WITH A MIGHTY HAND, AND WITH A STRETCHED OUT ARM, AND WITH FURY POURED OUT, WILL I RULE OVER YOU: AND I WILL BRING YOU OUT FROM THE PEOPLE, AND WILL GATHER YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHEREIN YE ARE SCATTERED, WITH A MIGHTY HAND, AND WITH A STRETCHED OUT ARM, AND WITH FURY POURED OUT. AND I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE WILDERNESS OF THE PEOPLE, AND THERE WILL I PLEAD WITH YOU FACE TO FACE. LIKE AS I PLEADED WITH YOUR FATHERS IN THE WILDERNESS OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, SO WILL I PLEAD WITH YOU, SAITH THE LORD GOD. AND I WILL CAUSE YOU TO PASS UNDER THE ROD, AND I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE BOND OF THE COVENANT: AND I WILL PURGE OUT FROM AMONG YOU THE REBELS, AND THEM THAT TRANSGRESS AGAINST ME: I WILL BRING THEM FORTH OUT OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY SOJOURN, AND THEY SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD-Ezek 20:33-38.
   I WILL DESTROY THE FAT AND THE STRONG; I WILL FEED THEM WITH JUDGMENT-Ezek 34:16. AND IN THAT DAY IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT THE GLORY OF JACOB SHALL BE MADE THIN, AND THE FATNESS OF HIS FLESH SHALL WAX LEAN-Isa 17:4.
   BECAUSE THOU HAST FORGOTTEN THE GOD OF THY SALVATION, AND HAST NOT BEEN MINDFUL OF THE ROCK OF THY STRENGTH-Isa 17:10.
   AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD, TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. AND I WILL BRING THE THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND WILL TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED: THEY SHALL CALL ON MY NAME, AND I WILL HEAR THEM: I WILL SAY, IT IS MY PEOPLE: AND THEY SHALL SAY, THE LORD IS MY GOD-Zech 13:8,9.
   And WHEN THOU ART IN TRIBULATION, AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE COME UPON THEE, EVEN IN THE LATTER DAYS, IF THOU TURN TO THE LORD THY GOD, AND SHALT BE OBEDIENT UNTO HIS VOICE; (FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS A MERCIFUL GOD;) HE WILL NOT FORSAKE (or abandon) THEE, NEITHER DESTROY THEE, NOR FORGET THE COVENANT OF THY FATHERS WHICH HE SWARE (or confirmed) UNTO THEM-Deut 4:30,31.
