Will the Jewish remnant recognize Jesus by sight or by faith at His second coming?
The Jewish remnant will recognize Jesus by sight at His second coming, not by faith. They will see Him coming in power and great glory, see the nail prints and the wound in His side, and by sight believe and know He is their King, Messiah, and Savior.
Les explains that this escaping remnant of Jews went out in unbelief and is a mixed group—old and young, men and women, boys and girls—not the 144,000. God protects them for the last three and a half years. When Christ returns in glory, they see Him coming in power and great glory. As Zechariah shows, they see the nail prints in His hands and the wound in His side. Rather than believing by faith as we do, they will by sight believe and know He is their King, Messiah, and Savior. This group then comes up into the Kingdom as the nation of Israel, the largest number of any one nation entering the Kingdom.
