Adventistische Schriften über: "The role of the Jewish people in the end times"

The provided quotations uniformly teach that there is no national salvation for the Jewish people. The salvation of Jews is based on the same foundation as that of the Gentiles – through faith in Christ. However, a remnant of the Jews will be saved when the gospel is presented to them in its fullness.

The promises to Israel are fulfilled in the “spiritual Israel” – the church of God. When the “times of the Gentiles” are fulfilled, the fullness of the Jews will enter, meaning that the complete number of Jews to be saved will come to faith.

No national salvation for the Jews

»There is no promise in the entire Bible for a national salvation of the Jews. No, God told them through His prophet that He would overthrow them, overthrow them, overthrow them until Christ would come and be crowned king in Zion. The salvation of the Jews stands on the same foundation as that of the Gentiles. The salvation or condemnation of all, both Jews and Gentiles, is conditional.«

A remnant will be saved

Many Jews will accept Christ

»When this gospel is presented to the Jews in its fullness, many will accept Christ as the Messiah. Among Christian servants there are only a few who feel called to work for the Jewish people; but to those who have often been overlooked, as well as to everyone else, the message of mercy and hope in Christ should come.«

The fullness of the Jews at the end of the world

»And since not all Gentiles will be converted, the fullness of the Gentiles must be the full number of those who are to be saved, which will occur only at the end of the world; at that time also the fullness of the Jews, or the full number of those among them who are to be saved, will have entered; so that the whole Israel is saved in the most literal sense, according to Paul’s definition.«
