What’s My Role?

As a Jewish believer, how am I part of God’s plan? I know the full number of Gentiles has not come yet but I was saved only as recently as May 16, 2006. I was just wondering what you thought about this as my heart grieves at times when I think of how my fellow jewish people turn their backs to the Lord.

Q. I was just reading how about what you had to say in regards to Daniel and the 70 weeks -

“It’s so the Lord can take a people for His name’s sake from among the Gentiles.” After He’s taken us, he’ll return and cause the Temple to be built and the last 7 years to be fulfilled. Romans 11:25 says that once the full number of Gentiles has come in, Israel’s heart will be softened toward the Lord again. Ezekiel 39:22 says that the Lord’s victory in the Battle of Ezekiel 38 is the event that causes this.

A. Between Pentecost when the Church was born, and the Rapture when the Church departs, everyone, Jew or Gentile, who accepts the pardon that the Lord purchased for our sins becomes part of the Church to reign with the Lord in eternity.

Before that, the purpose of our lives as believers here is to glorify God by living in a way that draw others to Him. Each of us has a unique part to play in the time He’s given us. It may consist of bringing only one with us or it may change the lives of many. Only the Lord knows what that role is, but if you ask Him, He’ll reveal it to you. From that point on it’s simply a matter of acting in faith.
