The Two Great Conditions for Yeshua’s Return

We are pleased to return to our Global Broadcast from our headquarters in Jerusalem! This week Ariel shares an important teaching—one that is central to our vision and helps lay a foundation for where we are in the prophetic timeline of history—titled, The Two Great Conditions for Yeshua’s Return.

Have you ever struggled to share about God’s heart and plan for Israel with fellow believers who just “don’t get it?” Or the discussion quickly plunges to the level of a debate about the politics and justice of the Arab-Jewish conflict in the Middle East?  Ariel shares how without first laying a foundation of the New Testament vision of the “Kingdom of God,” the message about Israel and the End Times will always be misheard.  We don’t have an “Israel message.”  We preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

When Yeshua taught His disciples to pray, He told them to pray for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.  In the earliest church of the first century, Yeshua and the apostles understood this as a final, glorious, worldwide, Messianic restoration of the Kingdom of David, with its capital in Jerusalem. (Acts 1:6)

At the end of the Bible, in Revelation 21 & 22, John sees the new Jerusalem “descending” to this earth and declares that the “Tabernacle of God is now with Mankind.”  The ultimate goal of our faith is not just to “die and go to heaven”—a temporary state--but to join Him in a glorious, resurrected body that is “heavenly,” but is here on earth as well. 

Ariel reminds us that this Kingdom finds its fulfillment when Yeshua returns to the earth, and this was the “blessed hope” of the early church. (Titus 2:11-14). We actively engage in working towards, and praying for, His return knowing that “Heaven must receive Him, until the time for the restoration of all things that God spoke about long ago through the mouth of His holy prophets” (Acts 3:21).

So, what are these two great conditions? How has the advance of the gospel in the nations in the past 160 years propelled us toward His coming? How has the rebirth of the nation of Israel and the return of the gospel to the Jewish people mirrored the acceleration of God’s work in the nations and advanced His timeline?  How are these two movements working together to bring about the “fullness” of all things?

Do you know the difference between the gospel of personal salvation and the gospel of the Kingdom of God? What are the three dimensions of prophecy that inform our study of the Scriptures?

WATCH today as Ariel answers these questions and more, sharing statistics and insights that will help strengthen your faith and empower you to share this message with others. Together, “We wait for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua.” (Titus 2:13)

Romans 11:25-27

For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be ignorant of this mystery—lest you be wise in your own eyes—that a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Zion. He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”
