What happens to unbelieving Israel by the end of the seven-year tribulation?
By the end of the seven-year tribulation, the unbelieving element of Israel will have suffered God's wrath and judgment. God deals with Israel according to His righteousness, finishing the work He started, while the believing remnant comes into the glory of His rule and reign when He sets up His Kingdom.
Les explains that once the seven-year tribulation starts, it is a seven-year period of God dealing primarily with the Jew, and He deals with the Jew according to His righteousness. By the time that seven years is ended, the unbelieving element will have suffered His wrath and His judgment, but the believing remnant will come into the glory of His rule and reign when He sets up His Kingdom. Les also emphasizes that God never does anything halfway; what God starts, He finishes. He started a work with Israel in 2,000 B.C. and has not forgotten it. Even though there has been a long gap when He has not been dealing with them on a covenant basis, He is still going to finish it. It is a short work, cut short in righteousness, because seven years is not long in light of the 6,000 years since Adam.
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
