When does God's timetable place the birth of the nation of Israel?

According to God's timetable, the birth of the nation of Israel occurs at the end of the Tribulation, at the Second Coming of Christ. At that time, the remnant of Israel will believe in a moment upon seeing their resurrected Lord and Messiah coming in the clouds of glory.

Les explains that God's timetable puts the birth of the nation of Israel clear out to the end of the Tribulation, which is taught as at the Second Coming of Christ. He points out that Paul was already saved 2,000 years earlier, describing himself as a preemie delivered prematurely. Paul's Damascus road salvation serves as a pattern: as he was saved miraculously in a moment, so also the nation of Israel will yet be saved—not 100%, but the remnant. They will still see their resurrected Lord and Messiah and King coming in the clouds of glory, and then they will believe in a moment. That is what Paul means by being born out of, or before, the due time.
