Israel will be restored when God removes their spiritual blindness, saves a faithful remnant at Christ's second coming, and fulfills His covenants to Abraham.
According to Les Feldick, Israel's restoration begins with a remnant preserved through the tribulation. When Christ returns, that remnant will recognize Him and be saved in a moment, leading to the nation's spiritual rebirth. This restoration is guaranteed by God's covenant promises to Abraham, which He will fulfill despite Israel's long period of unbelief.
Romans 11:26 — This verse directly states that all Israel shall be saved, which is the essence of the nation's restoration.
The Bible reveals that a spiritual blindness has happened to Israel in part, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:25-26 says, "...that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved..." This indicates that Israel's current blindness is temporary and that salvation for the nation is certain. God also promises in Jeremiah 31:35-36 that the seed of Israel will never cease from being a nation before Him, likening it to the fixed ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars. This covenant remains in effect and guarantees Israel's future as a nation. Furthermore, Isaiah 66 describes a nation being born in a day, which relates to the sudden spiritual birth of Israel when the remnant sees Christ returning in glory.
Les Feldick teaches that God is not finished with Israel. Although Israel has been set aside for over 1900 years due to unbelief, God will restore them. He emphasizes that Israel's restoration is tied to the removal of their spiritual blindness, which will happen after God completes His work with the Gentiles. Les explains that a remnant of Israel will be protected through the tribulation, similar to Israel's preservation in the wilderness. At Christ's second coming, this remnant will see Him in the clouds and believe in a moment, leading to the nation being born in a day spiritually. This remnant will become the seed stock for the restored nation of Israel in the Kingdom. Les also stresses that the promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be fulfilled, and that those who claim God is through with Israel are mistaken. He points to the current return of Jews to their homeland as evidence that God is preparing to restore them.
Les Feldick teaches that throughout Israel's history, there has always been a remnant of true believers. At the end of the age, this remnant will be preserved through the tribulation, and it will be because of this remnant that God spares the nation. This remnant, protected and kept safe, will see Christ at His second coming and believe, leading to the nation's salvation.
Israel will be restored at the second coming of Christ. The spiritual blindness on Israel will be lifted after God finishes His work with the Gentiles. At that point, the remnant of Jews who have been kept through the tribulation will see Christ coming in glory and will be saved in a moment, fulfilling the prophecy of a nation born in a day.
Les Feldick points to God's covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He cites Jeremiah 31:35-36, where God says that unless the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars depart, the seed of Israel will never cease being a nation. Since these are fixed, Israel's restoration is guaranteed.
God's Severity and the Basis for Restoration
Les explains that Israel was broken off for unbelief, and warns that Gentiles may be cut off too; but after judging the Gentile world, God will graft the Jew back in.
The Remnant and the New Seed Stock
Les teaches that a remnant of Israel will be protected through the tribulation and, at Christ's second coming, will become believers and form the new seed stock of Israel.
The Remnant Causes God to Spare the Nation
Les explains that there has always been a remnant of true believers in Israel, and this remnant at the end of the age will cause God to spare the nation.
A Nation Born in a Day
Les teaches that when Christ returns, the remnant of Jews who see Him will believe in a moment, and the nation will be born spiritually in a day, making the New Covenant a reality.
God Is Not Through with Israel
Les refutes the idea that God has abandoned Israel, insisting that He will bring them back to the land and pick up where He left off with His covenant people.
Blindness Lifted After the Fullness of the Gentiles
Les explains that Israel's blindness is temporary and will be lifted after God finishes His work with the Gentiles, leading to the salvation of all Israel.
Covenant Promises Guarantee Restoration
Les emphasizes that God's covenant promises to Israel are as fixed as the laws of nature, so He will certainly restore them.
Israel's Return in Unbelief Preparing for Restoration
Les notes that Jews are returning to their homeland in unbelief, but God has not lost track of them and is preparing for His final work with Israel.
Romans 11:25-26: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
This passage reveals the temporary nature of Israel's blindness and the promise that all Israel will be saved.
Jeremiah 31:35-36: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
God's covenant promises to Israel are as certain as the fixed ordinances of creation, guaranteeing their continued existence.
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.
This verse illustrates the sudden, miraculous birth of the nation of Israel when they are saved.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Israel's restoration is not a matter of their choice or obedience. When Christ returns, the remnant will see Him and believe in a moment, and God will save the nation despite their previous unbelief.
The remnant is a group of faithful Jews that God has preserved throughout history. At the end of the age, this remnant will be protected through the tribulation and will become the seed stock of the restored nation of Israel.
Israel will be restored at the second coming of Christ. After the fullness of the Gentiles is complete, the blindness will be lifted, and the remnant will see Jesus returning in glory and be saved.
