What are the last days for Israel?

Israel's last days refer to the time when the King comes and sets up His kingdom, fulfilling all previous times. This differs from the church's last days, the age of grace. In those last days, the Lord's house will be established, all nations will flow to Jerusalem, and He will teach His ways.

Les explains that the last days for Israel are not the same as the last days for the church. Israel's last days occur when the King comes and sets up His kingdom, bringing the fulfillment of all previous times. By contrast, the church's last days are the age of grace from Christ's death, burial, and resurrection until the church is removed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Though the same terminology is used, the two are not identical or synonymous. In Isaiah's prophecy, the last days refer to Israel's kingdom. The mountain, or kingdom, of the Lord's house will be established at the top of the mountains and exalted above the hills, or smaller kingdoms. All nations of the world shall flow unto it, and many people will say, Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. Out of Zion shall go forth the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, not from heaven.
