Evidently, for some Jewish people Yeshua was a “sanctuary”, and for others, He was a “stone of offense” and a “rock of stumbling” (Is. 8:14). It seems that the modern return of the Jewish people to the Land has seen a corresponding increase in the number of those counted among the believing “remnant according to the election of grace.” (Romans 11:5) Being in the Land seems conducive to being in Christ for the Jewish person. Similarly, when Israel takes the Land in the natural, the Church takes ground in the Spirit. From now until the time of Jacob’s trouble, the task of Jewish evangelism will result in the call and election of the 144 000 from Revelation 7 in expectation of the time of the end.
