Yes — at Christ's Second Coming, the remnant of Israel will be saved in a moment, when the nation is born in one day (Isaiah 66:8).
Les Feldick teaches that Israel's national salvation happens when the remnant sees Christ returning in glory and suddenly recognizes Him as the One they pierced. In that instant they believe, exactly as Isaiah 66:8 describes a nation being born at once. This takes place at the end of the Tribulation, when Christ returns to the Mount of Olives to rule from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 66:8 — The verse Les quotes directly — 'shall a nation be born at once?' — answering that the nation can indeed be saved in one day.
Romans 11:26 — Paul's definitive statement that 'all Israel shall be saved,' which Les connects to the remnant's salvation at Christ's return.
Zechariah 12:10 — Describes the moment Israel looks upon the One they pierced — the recognition that saves the remnant.
The Old Testament poses the question directly in 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.” The passage answers with the imagery of Zion in travail suddenly bringing forth her children — a nation delivered at once. Paul confirms Israel's future salvation in Romans 11:23-26: Israel, broken off in unbelief, will be “graffed in” again, “for God is able to graff them in again,” and “so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer.” Zechariah describes the moment of Israel's awakening — “they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him” (Zechariah 12:10) — and declares that “the LORD shall be king over all the earth” (Zechariah 14:9).
Les Feldick answers the question with an emphatic “Absolutely!” The nation of Israel will be born in a day — not 100% of all Jews through history, but the remnant that survives the Tribulation. He identifies this remnant as the Jews who, according to Matthew 24, fled to the mountains and were divinely protected for three and a half years, just as Israel was kept in the wilderness under Moses. At Christ's Second Coming, that remnant will see Him “coming in the clouds of glory, in power,” crushing the Gentile world, and they will suddenly recognize Him as the One they crucified. In a moment they believe; they say, “My Father, My God,” and God responds, “My people.” The nation is born at once, spiritually, and they are grafted back into the olive tree — “again.” Les places this on God's prophetic timetable: the birth of the nation comes at the end of the Tribulation, at the Second Coming of Christ. When He returns to the Mount of Olives and rules from Jerusalem, Israel will finally enjoy the land promised to Abraham — from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates and down to the Red Sea. The saved remnant becomes the seed stock of the nation of Israel in the coming kingdom. Paul's Damascus road conversion was like a “preemie” — one born before the due date — picturing the nation's future salvation in a moment. And regarding “all Israel shall be saved,” Les reminds us that God has always worked with a remnant, yet the nation as a whole will be born in a day spiritually.
Les identifies the remnant as the Jews who fled to the mountains at the middle of the Tribulation (Matthew 24). God protects them there for three and a half years, keeping them “just like He did Israel in the wilderness under Moses.” This same protected remnant is the one that sees Christ returning and is saved at His Second Coming, becoming the seed stock of the nation of Israel in the kingdom.
Les places the birth of the nation at the end of the Tribulation, at the Second Coming of Christ. He says God's time table puts it there, and Paul's own salvation was like a “preemie” — born prematurely, 2,000 years ahead of the nation's due date. At that time Christ returns to the Mount of Olives, sets up His rule from Jerusalem, and the land promises to Abraham become a reality.
When the remnant sees Christ coming in the clouds of glory, in power and crushing the Gentile world, they suddenly realize He is the One they crucified. Zechariah 12:10 describes them looking upon the One they pierced and mourning. In that moment they believe — the nation is saved in a moment, and they are grafted in “again.”
Les connects Israel's salvation directly to the New Covenant. Once that remnant is born in a day spiritually, God will put His Word and commandments in their hearts, and they will not need to teach their children the Law or rely on a priesthood. The saved remnant enters the kingdom as the seed stock of Israel, with Gentile believers who survived the Tribulation becoming the seed stock of the nations, and Christ ruling as King from Jerusalem.
Christ's Return to the Mount of Olives
Les explains that when Christ returns to the Mount of Olives and rules from Jerusalem, Israel will finally enjoy the land promised to Abraham — the setting for the nation's future blessing.
A Nation Born in a Day
Les answers “Absolutely!” — the remnant of Israel, protected in the mountains for three and a half years, will be saved in a moment when they see Christ coming in glory, and will be grafted in again.
They Shall Look Upon Him Whom They Pierced
Les ties the remnant's salvation to Zechariah 12:10 — they will suddenly realize Christ was the One they crucified.
Israel Born in a Day Spiritually
The remnant will believe in a moment when Christ returns, and the nation of Israel will be born in a day spiritually, making the New Covenant a reality.
Isaiah 66:8 — A Nation Born at Once
Les quotes Isaiah 66:8 and explains that to the last Jew in that remnant, they will say “My Father, My God,” and God will say “My people.”
The Remnant as Seed Stock
The protected remnant finally becomes believers at the Second Coming and serves as the seed stock of the nation of Israel in the kingdom.
Paul the Preemie
Paul's Damascus road conversion was a premature picture of Israel's future salvation — the nation will be saved in a moment at the end of the Tribulation, though only the remnant.
All Israel and the Remnant
Les explains that God has always worked with a remnant, not 100% of Israel, and points to the Biblical explanation of “all Israel shall be saved.”
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.
The key Old Testament verse Les quotes: a nation is brought forth in one day, tied to Zion's travail.
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.
The olive tree passage Les cites — Israel is grafted in again when they believe.
Romans 11:26: 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:
Paul's promise that all Israel will be saved, which Les ties to the remnant at Christ's return.
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.
The moment Israel sees the One they pierced and mourns — the recognition Les describes.
Zechariah 14:9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Christ's worldwide reign from Jerusalem, the setting for Israel's salvation.
Genesis 15:18: In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
The Abrahamic land promise Israel will finally enjoy in the kingdom.
Matthew 24:16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
The flight of the remnant Les describes — fleeing to the mountains, where God protects them.
Yes. Les Feldick answers “Absolutely!” citing Isaiah 66:8 — “shall a nation be born at once.” When the remnant of Israel sees Christ returning in glory at the Second Coming, they will be saved in a moment.
The remnant is the group of Jews who fled Jerusalem to the mountains (Matthew 24) and were protected by God through three and a half years of the Tribulation. They will see Christ returning and recognize Him as the One they pierced.
Les notes that God has never gotten 100% of Israel — He always worked with a remnant. The “all Israel” that is saved is the nation as a whole, represented by the surviving remnant, which becomes the seed stock of the kingdom.
Israel's national salvation takes place at the end of the Tribulation, at the Second Coming of Christ, when He returns to the Mount of Olives and the remnant sees Him coming in power and glory.
