No — the nation of Israel will not disappear before everything God has prophetically determined is fulfilled.
Les Feldick teaches that Israel is central to all end-time prophecy and that if Israel disappeared, prophecy would be left hanging and the Bible would appear to be a lie. Jeremiah 31:35-37 ties Israel's endurance as a nation to the continuing created order. God has promised to fulfill His covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so Israel must remain.
Jeremiah 31:35-37 — God ties Israel's continuing existence as a nation to the sun, moon, and stars, making Israel's disappearance impossible.
Romans 11:23-24 — Paul says the natural branches of Israel will be grafted into their own olive tree again, showing Israel's future restoration.
Matthew 24:15 — Jesus places Israel in the end-time prophetic scene with the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
The Bible directly ties the future of the nation of Israel to the created order. Jeremiah 31:35-37 declares that because the LORD gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night, Israel will not cease from being a nation before Him forever. The condition — ‘if those ordinances depart from before me’ — is impossible. The verse continues that if heaven above could be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then God would cast off the seed of Israel; but these things cannot be done. In Romans 11:23-24, Paul shows that Israel, the natural branches, will be grafted into their own olive tree again. Matthew 24:15 also places Israel in the end-time prophetic narrative when the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place.
Les Feldick repeatedly teaches that the nation of Israel can never disappear because it is the very center of God's prophetic program. He explains that if Israel were removed, prophecy would be ‘left hanging on a string’ and the Bible would become a lie. God has sovereignly preserved Israel and brought them back to the land in our generation after 1,900 years of dispersion, preparing to resume His covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Les points to Jeremiah 31:35-37 as the unbreakable guarantee: Israel will continue as a nation as long as God's created order continues. He also notes that the 144,000 must come from the twelve tribes, proving Israel must remain intact. Finally, Les describes the tribulation remnant of Israel being protected in the wilderness, seeing Christ return, and being saved in a moment — so the nation is born in a day and becomes the head nation in the kingdom.
Les Feldick explains that Satan's chief aim is to disrupt God's prophetic program by removing Israel from the scene. If the nation of Israel suddenly disappeared from view, prophecy would be left hanging on a string and the Book would be a lie. This is why, Les says, Hitler turned against the Jews and why the nations of the world constantly bombard this little nation with accusations. He adds that this does not make the Israeli government perfect, but the big picture is that everything that will happen prophetically on this planet is centered on Israel.
Jeremiah 31:35-37 is the clearest scriptural guarantee. God, who established the sun, moon, and stars, says that if those ordinances depart from before Him, then the seed of Israel will cease to be a nation before Him forever. Since those ordinances have not departed, Israel cannot cease. In the same way, heaven cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be searched out, so God cannot cast off the seed of Israel for all they have done. Les cites this passage to show that the nation of Israel is there to stay.
Israel has already been regathered in our generation after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion, and everything is getting set for God to pick up where He left off with His covenant people. During the tribulation, a remnant of Israel will be protected in the wilderness for three and a half years. When they see Christ returning in the clouds of glory, they will recognize Him, believe in a moment, and the nation will be born in a day. At that point, as Romans 11 says, the natural branches will be grafted in again, and Israel will become the head nation in the kingdom, as Les points out from Deuteronomy 28.
Satan's Attack on Israel
Les teaches that Satan is determined to wipe out Israel because Israel's disappearance would leave prophecy unfulfilled and cause the Bible to appear to be a lie.
Prophecy Requires Israel in the Land
Les teaches that God must keep Israel in the land and in Jerusalem for prophecy to be fulfilled, so the nation is there to stay.
Israel's Regathering in Our Generation
Les teaches that after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion, Israel is back in the land and God is preparing to resume His covenant promises, so Israel will not cease to be a nation.
Jeremiah 31 Guarantee
Les teaches from Jeremiah 31:35-37 that Israel will continue as a nation as certainly as the sun, moon, and stars continue.
Israel Grafted In Again
Les teaches that the end-time remnant of Israel will see Christ returning, be saved in a moment, and be grafted back into their own olive tree.
Necessity of the 144,000
Les teaches that the 144,000 require 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes, so God must preserve Israel as a distinct nation.
Israel as Proof of Scripture
Les teaches that the existence and regathering of Israel is the proof of this Book, and God is getting ready to resume with His favored nation.
Nation Born in a Day
Les teaches that the tribulation remnant will believe at Christ's return, the nation will be born in a day, and Israel will become the head nation in the kingdom.
Jeremiah 31:35: 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:
This verse establishes God's creative power as the foundation for the promise that Israel will continue as a nation.
Jeremiah 31:36: 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.
Because the ordinances of creation have not departed, the seed of Israel cannot cease from being a nation.
Jeremiah 31:37: Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
The impossible conditions of measuring heaven and searching earth's foundations guarantee that God will not cast off Israel.
Romans 11:23-24: And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Paul shows that Israel, the natural branches, will be grafted into their own olive tree again.
Matthew 24:15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Jesus places Israel in the temple scene of end-time prophecy.
Deuteronomy 28:13: And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
Les references this verse when describing Israel becoming the head nation in the kingdom.
No. Jeremiah 31:35-37 ties Israel's existence as a nation to the continuing order of the sun, moon, and stars. Les Feldick says God has to keep Israel in the land and in Jerusalem for prophecy to be fulfilled, so the nation is there to stay.
Satan wants to disrupt God's prophetic program. If Israel disappeared, prophecy would be left hanging and the Bible would seem to be a lie. That is why, Les explains, there is constant satanic pressure against Israel, from Hitler to today's nations.
A remnant of Israel will be protected in the wilderness during the tribulation. When they see Christ return, they will be saved in a moment, the nation will be born in a day, and Israel will be grafted in again as the head nation in the kingdom.
