Q&A-92 WHAT DOES GOD MEAN BY FINAL GENERATION OF JEWS?

PROPHECY is to point us to Christ who is the author of history, and the theme of Scripture. God's Word is at its very center PROPHETIC.

The God who recorded the beginning, that no one but Him witnessed in Genesis; is also the God who records the ending, that no one but Him could have ever written, in Revelation.

Isn’t it amazing that God devotes 1/4th or 25% of the Bible to the indivisible union that the world’s destiny has with God’s Chosen People of Promise, Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews? Always remember: THE CENTRALITY OF ISRAEL IN THE BIBLE

Using just a normal Bible with no study notes (my Bible is 1100 pages long) you find that:
600 pages (Genesis to Song of Solomon) are Israel’s origin, history, wanderings away from God, and worship (that is 600/1100 pages or) 54%; and

250 pages are devoted to the prophets (Isaiah to Malachi) that speak of the doom coming first to Israel then and the world in the future (that is 250/1100 pages or) 23%; and then we get

110 pages devoted to the Life of Christ (Matthew to John) that lasts for (110/1100 pages or) 10% of the Bible; and then

120 pages devoted to the record of Acts to Jude that explains Christ's Church’s birth and mission for 120/1100 pages or 11%; and then the

20 pages of Revelation describing the centrality of Israel and Jerusalem at the end of the world takes up almost (20/1100 pages or) 2% of the Bible.

So just a simple glance at the Table of Contents of God's Word would make a reader conclude that Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews are very important to God.

Also, just the layout of the Bible that opens and closes with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews with the Church’s 21 % of the Word sandwiched importantly, but intentionally between the opening and closing

God who engineered the Scriptures has chosen to devote fully (4/5ths or) 79% of the Bible to Israel’s origin, calling, chastisement, return, and future troubles that engulf the whole world.
Each time the Old Testament prophets explained the future they universally began with Israel and all details revolved around Jerusalem and the Land.

Each time Jesus explained how the world would end He starts with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21).

Each time Paul explained how the world would end, began with Israel and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Romans 9-11, 1 & 2 Thessalonians (2 Th. 2:4).

Each time John explained how the world would end, began with Israel and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Revelation 11, 13, 16, 19.

Israel is the 3rd largest topic in the Bible right after:

1. God/Lord Himself mentioned 12,000 times (God 4094x/Lord 6781x/plus Jesus, Christ, Spirit, etc.);
2. Salvation (man 3323x/sin 1016x/Jesus 942x);
3. Israel is mentioned over 2900x and Jerusalem 767x. The church 111x, prayer 128x, and the cross 29x are much less mentioned.

Over 200 times God introduces Himself as the Great I am, the God of Israel (plus 17 times the God of Abraham, and 25x the God of Jacob). He is not the “I was”, He is the “I AM”; and He is, He was, and has promised in the future that He will be the God of Israel. (Q&A-92)
