Why don't Jews question the silence from GOD for 2000 years?

Not even a prophet in that time?

i wonder if they need Christians to remind them what could have caused it.

God IS a jealous God.
Gods jealously is provoked, causes Him anger, when men reject Him for another god.

Gods anger, is increased, when men declare by their word they Trust IN Him, then the same men wander off to other gods.

Big picture...Hebrews/Tribes WERE chosen to be Gods Representatives and Teachers ON Earth, to all other men.
Big picture..Hebrews/Tribes AGREED.
Big picture...Hebrews/Tribes WERE warned NOT to fall into serving or promoting other gods.
Big picture...that ^ is what many Hebrews/Tribes DID do.

Big picture...God inturn sent godly men to the Gentiles, to declare Gods truth.
Big picture...Many Gentiles accepted the Hebrews/Tribes God, prophecies, of what was to come, the prophecy fulfilled of the Jewish Messiah’s appearance, His word, secrets revealed, His works, His additional prophecies revealed.
Big picture...a FEW Hebrews/Tribes continued with God, accepted the arrival of their Messiah (as THEY WERE BEING TAUGHT firsthand, BY JEWISH MEN, who had been with their Messiah, and teaching Jews First hand knowledge, their First hand experience WITH the Messiah).
Big Picture...the FEW Jews with First had knowledge and experience WITH the Messiah, dying off, killed, no longer on a visible, audible platform teaching Jews at large in the public.

Big picture...PRESSURE...of Jewish religious Rulers, rejecting Jesus as their Messiah, ostracizing Jewish men and encouraging Jewish men to ostracize Jews who accepted Jesus as the Jewish Messiah.
Big picture...Jewish men who had and were accepting Jesus as their Messiah, fell to the community pressure of being ostracized, and:
1) returned to the teaching of the Jewish Religious Rulers (Pharisees, Sanhedrin's) or,
2) began ignoring all religious teaching or,
3) scattered, blended in with Gentiles societies ways...and
— called men leaders “gods”...which provoked no criticism or
— ignore allegiance to any “god”...which provoked no criticism

Big picture...Few Jews have remained faithful to God, and remained under the Law of their Religious leaders, who reject Jesus is their Messiah, or that the the Promise of their Messiah to Save then Has occurred.
Big picture...A Fewer number of Jews HAVE in more recent years accepted Jesus as their Christ Messiah. (But not calling themselves “Christians”)
Big picture...Many Jews have abandoned belief in ANY god.
Big picture...Persecution against Jews, for their religious belief, for or against God...for or against Jesus...has become moot.
World society promoted and acceptance is: society of the public at large does not care IF or WHO believes in any god, or not.

Big picture...Hebrews/Jews were chosen by God, Agreed to be Gods representative, teachers to all other men, of Gods word...they failed.
Big picture...Gentiles adopted the Jewish God and the Jewish Messiah as their Heavenly Lord God...and they willing do teach everyone, except Jews.

INANUTSHELL...Hebrews, Jews, Gentiles, men, women, races...all irrelevant...IT IS ALL ABOUT every individual...

Big picture...God IS NOT Silent, to a willing LISTENER.
Big picture...NOT every person on the Earth IS a willing LISTENER.

Big picture...the communication of God tapping a Jew on the shoulder to get his attention...is MOOT. God tapping a Gentile on the shoulder to get his attention....is MOOT.
God has already revealed...knowledge for ALL individuals to hear or not.
Individual choices.

God has already revealed His Knowledge FOR ALL men...Jew or Gentile... “pressured blinded” by corrupt Religious Leaders...OF Gods plan for “their” Salvation to be effected.

Jews in belief, remaining “under the law”, are majority in temporary blindness...not forgotten by God...but NOT YET...(per Gods timeline)...
BUT SHALL ”in masses altogether” become SAVED.

No need for Gentiles to worry or intervene in what Jews believe.
God knows their Heart and already has a plan for THEIR Salvation.

to gather gog and magog for battle is people and land, what if it is talking about the Nation of Israel?

Nation of Israel vs New Jerusalem

Rev 20:7-9

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

The Kingdom is NOW.

Hosea 6:1-3
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Many are blind to JESUS Reigning now because they think there shouldn't be sin or evil during it.
JESUS gave us The Way to The Kingdom. He told us there would be tares in it:

Matthew 13:24-30
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

JESUS' Sacrifice was Ultimate over animal sacrifice because It continues to whoever replaces their fallen life/blood with The Kingdom Life of JESUS.

OVERCOME the beast and become a Pillar of The Kingdom.

Rev 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.​

GOD Gave the Jews a way to be Saved before His Son got here, but that changed after JESUS Fulfilled it. You can't claim to have Abrahamic Faith in The MESSIAH after He was physically here.

The Kingdom Life/Light of JESUS is The Kingdom of The Body of CHRIST.

Choose LIFE or death. Choose The Kingdom of LIFE today!

What makes you think JESUS will be your King in the Afterlife if you didn't bow to Him while He was Reigning?

You either welcome GOD'S Presence into your life now ...or you failed the test.

Do premillennialists think God is going to reign physically on Earth and then after a thousand years people will join Satan in thinking they can fight physical God?
Did they not crucify physical God on a Cross? Do you question all Scripture?

If they listened to Satan over and over, why would that stop as long as Satan is walking around talking to humans?

You either have GOD'S Seal or the mark of the beast ...right now. What do you care more about: GOD or money? The 144,000 is all The Saved that have a Song in their Heart. Ask yourself why you don't know what the Song is about.

If the parable of the Ten Virgins is about having enough Oil (HOLY SPIRIT), shouldn't we be concerned if we have physical sin in our lives causing low Oil?

Jesus is the King of Israel.
Israel are the servants of God.
When the worthy 2000 years ago understood that Jesus was the Saviour of their Soul. That's when they became Christians, so some have been Saved over that 2000 years and after the Second Coming all will be Israel and serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Once you are truly born again you are Israel in fact. Jesus said so to Nathaniel because Nathaniel was worthy in fact.

@Reggie Belafonte Seems like according to 1 Corinthians 10.32 there is a distinction between the church and Israel.

The Jews do not exist, nor do the Greek. For all are one under Christianity.
The only people who claim Jews and Greek are lost to God.
The Only Jews worthy of God when Jesus Christ came, was the ones who became Christians. for all people outside of Christ Jesus are bastards to God in fact.

Their is a distinction between Jews and Israel, so you have what is called Jewish people of a religion under a Tribe set and then their are they who are Israelites, not all Jews are worthy of such claim in fact, as Jacob was given the Title by a Angel and the 2ed in the Bible who was worthy was Nathaniel and that Title was given by Jesus himself and also all what Jesus said to Nathaniel must be understood.

Just because one was born under the Tribe and religion does not make one worthy ? just read the OT and you would know that such people were kicked out, because they were not worthy.
And remember that the Jews were vomited out of the Land because they were not worthy of God. bar the worthy Israelites who all became truly born again Christians.

Anyone who idolises Jews is an Anti-Christ.

The OT was the blueprint for Christianity. and remember that Jesus Christ is the King of Israel !

One could say that the blueprint was an Egg ? and when Jesus went to Heaven the Egg hatched and became alive.
Salvation was born from that day forward.
The Egg shell is just that, it served it's purpose, we Christians still have the OT Blueprint.
But as to race claims of people claiming to be Jews holds nothing and it never did, it was all about the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that he was the beginning and the End. If one does not believe that or understand that, one is not truly born again.
It's all about Jesus Christ, it one does not abide in him, such are lost and will go about chasing their tail, looking for nonsense like so called Jews to idolise. or dribble on about the 2ed coming and that's because they themselves are not truly born again, in fact they are looking for Jesus to come. but Jesus never left us, remember he said, I am with you always. one has to reach out to him ? but morons claim that when they see him they will believe :rolleyes: the Jews seen him and did not believe, so such is not the point at all. It's the Holy Spirit that gives one the Keys.

When JESUS says He is "the faithful and true witness" in Revelation 3:14, is He saying that He is the faithful and true Israel?
