Will Gentiles Be Servants To The Jews?

I’d like your opinion on OT passages that state Gentiles will be the Jews’ servants during the Millenial Kingdom. I am having a difficult time matching this with God’s promise that we are ALL his sons and daughters; that he is not a respecter of persons; and Gentiles are co-heirs of the promises made to Abraham.

Q. I’d like your opinion on OT passages that state Gentiles will be the Jews’ servants during the Millennial Kingdom. For example: Isaiah 14:1-2, 49:22-23 and 61: 6-7. I must admit, the thought of an anti-Semitic Muslim converted to Christianity serving a Messianic Jew as a servant, seems fair. But these passages imply that ALL Gentiles surviving the Tribulation will be in servitude, whether they have persecuted Jews or not. I am having a difficult time matching this with God’s promise that we are ALL his sons and daughters; that he is not a respecter of persons; and Gentiles are co-heirs of the promises made to Abraham.

A. The passages you cite refer to the Millennial Kingdom when once again Israel will be the pre-eminent nation on Earth, while the Church enjoys life in the New Jerusalem.

The promise of Gentiles being inheritors along with Israel of God’s promise to Abraham refers to the Church, not gentiles in general.(Gal. 3:29)

And yes, there may be some converted ex-moslems happily serving the needs of the Jewish nation. They along with other gentile tribulation survivors will feel blessed to do so, because it was Israel who brought forth the Messiah and made their new life of peace and plenty possible.
