Do Jews today have a special advantage over Gentiles when it comes to personal salvation?

Les explains that Paul reveals a mystery: Jews and Gentiles are brought into the Body on equal ground. While Les pays all respect to Israel's covenant position as the favored nation of God, he insists that for a Jew today to experience salvation, he is on the same level playing field as Gentiles. A Jew is not in a place of special privilege when it comes to personal salvation; he is a sinner who needs salvation just as much as a Gentile. Les also notes that Israel must be in the Land of Israel for the culmination of the prophetic Scriptures, including the final seven years. He illustrates this with a young Jewish listener who pointed out that if all Jews were saved, they would leave at the rapture, and no one would remain to fulfill prophecy. Israel must be in the Land at the end-time scenario, because all prophecy is directed to that; if they were taken off the scene, God's Word would fall apart, and God will not let that happen.
