What role will Israel have in the future kingdom?
In the future kingdom that comes down from heaven under Christ as King, Israel will be the head of the nations. All other nations will be present but in a lesser role than the covenant people. God will make them one nation, cleanse them, and be their God.
Les explains that this will happen when the kingdom comes down from heaven, over which Christ will be King. At that time Israel will be the head of the nations, and all the other nations will be there, but in a lesser role than the covenant people. He connects this with the promise that they will be one nation, one king shall be king to them all, and they will no longer be divided or defile themselves with idols and transgressions. God will save them, cleanse them, and say, "They shall be My people, and I will be their God." Les also points to Zechariah 14, the Second Coming, when His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives.
