Since no-one can get saved other than through faith, which is unseen, how can all
Israel get saved after Christ’s Second Coming, which they shall see?
If God has some
alternative way of instantly procuring all Israel’s spiritual salvation immediately
before the end of the age, why doesn’t He procure it sooner?
Seeing many Gentiles
got saved despite widespread unbelief amongst the Jews, why couldn’t a more
widespread salvation of Jews have resulted in even more Gentiles getting saved?
If Jerusalem and a
rebuilt temple must again be destroyed before the end of the world in order to
fulfil Bible-Prophecy, how can all Israel be protected from her enemies in
order to fulfil prophecy, at the same time?
If He’s going to
allow most of Israel to be destroyed, and only save those He protects, how can
it be said that all Israel shall be saved?
Seeing the
abomination standing in the Temple was to cause the desolation of Jerusalem,
how can Jerusalem instead be saved from desolation, if the Prophecy about the
abomination is yet to happen in the future?
How can the preaching
of the Gospel to all nations happen after the siege of Jerusalem and the
deportation of Jews all around the world, if the siege is a last-days siege
which must happen just before the end of time?
If all Israel must be
protected from its enemy-nations just before the end of the world, why didn’t
God always protect Israel from their enemy-nations in the past?
Since God’s
interventions to protect Israel in the past did not result in the nationwide
repentance and eternal salvation of all Israel, how shall it with certainty
achieve it in the future?
How shall one-sixth
of Israel’s enemy-armies survive and have time to return to their nations to
declare God’s work, if God’s judgement against their armies shall be
simultaneous with Christ’s second coming?
Seeing the prophesied
siege of Jerusalem was to be followed by the desolation and deportation of
Jews, and by the preaching of the Gospel all around the world, how shall the
siege instead be immediately followed by the deliverance of Israel if it’s to
be simultaneous with the end of the world?
Since the Second
Coming is called the end of time/the end of the world, how can a thousand
calendar-years be counted after it?
Seeing the Gospel
brought an end to Old Covenant ceremonies and sacrifices, why should all
nations in future be obligated again to travel to Jerusalem to keep the Feast
annually and offer sacrifices or be cursed?
And in what temple
shall they offer the associated sacrifices, if an antichrist shall have
destroyed the temple? That would require not only a third, but a fourth temple!
If the building and
destruction of a third temple is the subject of Bible-Prophecy, why was the
destruction of the second and the construction of a fourth temple not mentioned
at all in Bible-Prophecy?
If some
Bible-Prophecies can be fulfilled twice, who are the authorities to tell us
which prophecies can be, and how can we know when an event fulfils a prophecy
for the final time?
An alternative
understanding is that Bible-Prophecies about keeping Old Covenant Feasts were
fulfilled in Old Covenant times; that Jesus’ prediction about the siege and
desolation of Jerusalem and of the Temple and the deportation of the Jews, was
fulfilled within the generation which Jesus specified would see all those
events; and that since then, the Gospel has continued to be preached among all
nations, just as Jesus said – and then the end shall come.
