Deuteronomy 4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God ; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Israel will go through the tribulation in the latter days.
If obedient, they will partake of the covenant of their fathers to possess the land (Genesis 15:18) and be a blessing to the nations in the kingdom (Isaiah 60:3).
Addressing the OP, Great insight.
and correct, for I love the part where God alway keeps the door of salvation open... "IF" . Deuteronomy 4:30 "When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;"
God repete this open Door of salvation twice in Isaiah as you quoted for all nations.
Isaiah 9:15 "The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail."
Isaiah 9:16 "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."
Isaiah 9:17 "Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still."
now,
Isaiah 10:1 "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;"
Isaiah 10:2 "To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!"
Isaiah 10:3 "And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?"
Isaiah 10:4 "Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still."
this same door is still open today, because what going in the world today is right there in verses 1 &2. yes, even right here in America today.
Goug, another Good topic.
all those pre-trib ..... and rapture believers, should look at this topic too. and all who call themselves christians, and say that they believe what the Lord Jesus say, need to, as our Lord by his apostle James said, "Look in that perfect law of liberty", see James 1:25.
