When will the remnant of Israel believe in Jesus?

The remnant of Israel will believe when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, after being kept through the tribulation period. They will see Him coming in the clouds of glory and believe in Him in a moment; the nation will be born spiritually in a day, and the New Covenant will become a reality.

Les explains that this is not going to be Israel's own choice; that company of Jews will not simply decide to follow God. The New Covenant is not like the covenant God made with their fathers when He brought them out of Egypt, which they broke over and over again. Instead, when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, the remnant of Jews He has kept through the tribulation period will see Him coming in the clouds of glory. They will believe in a moment—the nation is born in a day spiritually. Then the New Covenant becomes a reality: God puts His law in their inward parts, writes it in their hearts, and says, 'I will be their God, and they shall be My people.' This is the remnant Paul deals with in Romans 9, 10, and 11.

Isaiah 66:8

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
