25–2nd Regathering of Israel

This section of Scripture begins a major theme in the Old Testament prophets. That is the worldwide regathering of the nation Israel for the second time. It is described in this section of Scripture from chapter eleven verse eleven to chapter twelve verse six as well as other passages. But this time it will be in preparation for the blessings of the Messianic Kingdom, following the national regeneration of Israel. The regeneration of the entire nation is the event spoken of by the apostle Paul.

Romans 11:25–27
25For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; 26and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins (ASV, 1901).

One of the principal reasons for the Great Tribulation is to break the will of the Holy People, the Jews (Daniel 12:7). As a result of the cataclysm of the Tribulation there will be tremendous pressure on the Jewish remnant, which will bring about their confession of faith in their Messiah Jesus. By this time, they will have lost two-thirds of the world population of their entire nation (Zechariah 13:8–9).
