The Friends of Israel

We today live in the 'Times of the Gentiles' during which Israel and the Jews will be dominated by four Gentile world powers: Babylon, Medo-Persians, Greece, and Rome which is today embodied in the West. But one day, at Christ's second coming, the fifth Kingdom of Daniel's prophecy will smash the four Gentile kingdoms, and Jesus Christ will establish His Messianic kingdom which will never end. During the Messianic kingdom, the nation of Israel and the Jews will once again be the focus. The tables are turned with Israel and the Jews being in control. And the living Gentiles will become Israel's friends. They will honor the Jews as God's chosen, blessed people. The Gentile nations will become the servants of the Jews, helping them to relocate to their promised land and to rebuild their cities including Jerusalem. The wealth of the Gentile nations will also flow to Israel. What attracts them to help Israel will be LIGHT-- the light of God seen in the Jewish people, and the light of God in the person of Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the World. They will be drawn to the light. We who are followers of Christ today are also to be lights in this world. We must let our light so shine among men that they too might be drawn to Jesus Christ, the Light of the world.
