The Jewish remnant will see Christ returning in glory, suddenly recognize Him as the Messiah they pierced, mourn for Him, and be saved as a nation in that moment.
Les Feldick teaches that the remnant of Israel protected through the last three and a half years of tribulation will catch sight of Christ coming in the clouds of glory. Their spiritual eyes will be opened, and they will realize He is the One they pierced and crucified. They will believe by sight, know Him as their King, Messiah, and Savior, and the nation of Israel will be born in a day.
Zechariah 12:10 — This verse directly describes Israel looking upon the One they pierced and mourning for Him, which Les applies to the Jewish remnant seeing Christ at His return.
Isaiah 66:8 — This verse asks whether a nation can be born at once, which Les says is fulfilled when the remnant of Israel is saved at the coming of Christ.
Matthew 24:30 — This verse describes the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory, which the Jewish remnant will see at Christ's return.
The Bible speaks of a day when Israel will see her Messiah whom she pierced. Zechariah 12:10 says: "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn." Isaiah 66:8 records the question: "Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." Jesus also spoke of His return in Matthew 24:30: "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." These Scriptures point to a sudden, visible return of Christ that will be seen by Israel and will bring mourning.
Les Feldick teaches that a remnant of Jews will escape from Jerusalem and flee to the mountains when the Antichrist defiles the temple at the midpoint of the Tribulation. God will protect this escaping remnant for the final three and a half years, just as He protected Israel in the wilderness under Moses. They go there in unbelief, not yet recognizing Jesus as their Messiah. At Christ's return, however, Les explains that this remnant will see Him coming in the clouds of glory and in power and great glory. In that moment their eyes will be opened. They will see the nail prints in His hands and the wound in His side, and by sight they will believe and know that He is their King, Messiah, and Savior. This fulfills Zechariah 12:10, where the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem look upon the One they pierced and mourn for Him. Les emphasizes that this is not something Israel decides to do on their own. When Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, that remnant will believe in a moment, and the nation of Israel will be born in a day spiritually. They will be grafted in again, as Romans 11 indicates, and the New Covenant will become a reality with God's Word written in their hearts.
Les points to Zechariah 12:10, where the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem look on the One they pierced and mourn for Him as for an only son. He describes it as a time of weeping and reunion, because the One they rejected, crucified, and killed is finally revealed as their God. They will also see the nail prints in His hands and the wound in His side, and by sight they will believe that He is their King, Messiah, and Savior.
Les teaches that when the remnant sees Christ returning in the clouds of glory, the nation will be saved in a moment and will be born in a day spiritually. He applies Isaiah 66:8 to this event and says absolutely, a nation will be born at once. This is not a choice Israel makes; it is what happens when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom. The remnant will be grafted in again, as the last word 'again' in Romans 11:23 indicates.
Les describes the remnant who flee to the mountains when the Antichrist defiles the temple at the midpoint of the Tribulation. God keeps them there for three and a half years, protecting them as He did Israel in the wilderness under Moses. They go there in unbelief, and it is only when they see Christ coming in glory that they will recognize who He is and be saved.
The Escaping Remnant
Les identifies a group he calls the 'escaping remnant' who flee when the Antichrist defiles the temple, setting the stage for the Jews who will see Christ at His return.
The Pierced One and Mourning
Les applies Zechariah 12:10 to Christ's return: Israel will look on the One they pierced and mourn for Him, understanding that the One they rejected and crucified is finally their God.
Nation Born in a Day
Les says when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, the protected remnant will see Him in the clouds and believe in a moment; the nation will be born in a day spiritually and the New Covenant will become a reality.
Seeing the Nail Prints and the Wound
Les describes the Jewish remnant seeing Christ in power and great glory, seeing the nail prints and the wound in His side, and by sight believing that He is their King, Messiah, and Savior.
Saved in a Moment and Grafted In Again
Les says when they see Him coming in glory to crush the Gentile world, the remnant will recognize who He is, be saved in a moment, and be grafted in again — answering Isaiah 66:8's question with an absolute 'absolutely.'
Israel's Salvation at the Return
Les explains that when the remnant sees the returning Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the nation of Israel will experience her salvation and suddenly realize who Jesus really was.
Every Jew in the Remnant
Les says to the last Jew in the remnant, they will say 'My Father, My God' when the nation is born at once at the coming of Christ.
The Disciples' Prayer Explained: Matthew 6 Verse by Verse
Ephesians 1.11a "...I will make them one nation, and one king shall be king to them all. They shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided, neither shall they devile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with their transgressions.
Zechariah 12:10: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
This verse is the key prophecy of Israel mourning over the One they pierced, which Les says will be fulfilled when they see Christ returning.
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? shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Les applies this verse to the remnant of Israel being saved as a nation in a moment at Christ's return.
Matthew 24:30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
This verse describes the visible, glorious return of Christ that the Jewish remnant will witness.
Romans 11:23: And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Les points to the final word 'again' to show that the Jewish remnant will be grafted back into God's purposes when they see Christ.
