Isa. 65:9b

9 And I will bring forth [yatsa'] a seed [zera`] out of Jacob [Ya`aqob], and out of Judah [Yahuwdah] an inheritor [yarash] of my mountains [har]: and mine elect [bachiyr] shall inherit [yarash] it, and my servants [`ebed] shall dwell [shakan] there. KJV-Interlinear

9 And I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, And an heir of My mountains from Judah; Even My chosen ones shall inherit it, And My servants shall dwell there. NASB

The greatest blessing of all, is one for all of humanity, when God was patient with man, and allowed humanity to continue through all of the generations prior to the birth of Christ.

From the promise to Adam, that a seed of a woman would give rise to a savior, born of woman, to the many prophecies and promises of a savior, a Messiah, who would come to the earth, and pay the price of sin, in man s place. God kept His promise.

Isaiah gives us two promises. The first is for the birth of a savior. This future person would be born in the line of Jacob, a Hebrew, and a descendent of the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This promise both indicates that the line of Jacob will survive any and all hardships, until the time of the birth of the Messiah, as well as the promise that there will indeed be a Savior coming out from the Jewish race.

And next, this promise tells us that the Savior will not only be born, but He will also be an heir of all of the lands of Palestine, as it was known back in the time of Jacob. Also, the Hebrew race will also be joint heirs of his land.

In order to be an heir, one has to be alive to inherit. Therefore, if a race is alive then it obviously survives any and all hardships, it might face in history.

Hebrew was the term first used for Abraham, way back when he crossed over the river Euphrates, and entered into the promised land of Canaan. The Canaanites lived in the land, and those people were the target of the curse given to Ham back in Noah s day.

Then the chosen people were further defined as the descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in order to distinguish them from the Arab peoples who were also descendents of Abraham and Isaac through their other sons.

Then Jacob, who had twelve sons, received a new name, Israel. This would become the name of Gods chosen nation.

For many centuries, after the Exodus, they lived in the land formerly known as Canaan, but had become known as the land of the Philistines. Otherwise known as Palestine.

The nation divided into two nations, the Northern Nation which took the name of Israel, but was also known as Samaria, and the Southern Nation known as Judah.

The northern nation was destroyed by the Assyrians and that nation never recovered in history. The southern nation, Judah turned against God and was overrun, but it enjoyed a remnant of recovery to some degree, but lived under the rule of several empires and never recovered its autonomy.

Within a couple of centuries prior to the birth of Christ, the region became known as Judea. From that name we have the reference to its residents as Jews, a name that they themselves adopted.

Just as they left their former names, Hebrews and Israelites, and left their former writings, the scriptures, the people of Judea adopted their own name, rules and regulations for life and for ascension into heaven. They called this Judaism, their own invention of faith.

But despite all of this, God still gave them an heir, a Savior, a Messiah, out from their own genetics. This heir of course is Jesus Christ.

The Jewish people have held on to their latter name. They have held on to their regulatory approach to God, rejecting His Son, and they are still looking for some future Messiah, who will never come.

This is the pattern of their rejection of Gods plan, as a whole race of people. This has gone on for many, many centuries. Nearly two thousand years thus far. But still, God has kept them alive, because they will have yet another set of descendents who will turn away from their current rejection, and turn to Christianity. That will not occur until the last generation of human rule.

Though when the Rapture occurs, all of this last generation of Jewish people will be unbelievers, they will suddenly see the light of truth, and the lies of their own faith, which they have clung to, and they will believe in Christ. Not only this, but a remnant of them will grow up to spiritual maturity during the most difficult time in human history.

This is the remnant both made up of Jews and gentiles, who will be believers in Christ and mature believers at that.

This remnant will be the heirs of the Millennium planet earth, with Christ as their ruler.

God was faithful in keeping His promise over two-thousand years ago and more in maintaining the Jewish people as a race in order to provide a Savior. God has been faithful in maintaining the Jewish race these last two-thousand years, and in His continuing to maintain them even during the troubles, we witness today in our contemporary history.

Though there are groups of people out there in the world who hate the Jews with a passion, they will never be able to rid the planet of them, because God is defending them. Who can fight God? Anyone who tries to stand up against God, will go down to defeat.

Likewise, God has set out a plan for human history. One of those plan components is called dispensations. We live in the dispensation of the Church Age. Evil will never rule within our dispensation. The time for evil s free reign will not occur until the Tribulation. That period of history will not begin until immediately after the Rapture.

You and I, since we are believers in Christ, will never see that future time. We will depart this world, whether we are alive at the time or dead, at the Rapture. What we are witnessing now is Satan and evil, kicking up its fight in an effort to seize control of history. Jesus Christ controls history, not Islam, not liberalism, not self-righteous people, not sin in general.

As time passes by now, we witness the nations forming into the alignment that God wants them to be in, when our dispensation finally ends. Likewise, we are witnesses to the continuation of a people of whose progeny will one day be heirs in the millennium.

What generation will that be? When will that be? None of us know. However, the one thing that is certain in life, is Gods Word.

Though the plans of humanity are many, only the one plan of God is certain.

Now is the time to post a prayer.
