But they are not saved until Two Thirds Perish and The Lord brings a Third thru the Fire - only then will he save them - not before this.
They will not be part of the Resurrected/Raptured Saints who will receive Immortal Eternal Bodies.
This Third whom the Lord brings thru the Fire and saves will remain on earth in the Land.
Maybe I missed something, or misspoke. Sometimes I can get befuddled over who said what. But you say here is just what I think.

Much love!

Mortal bodies, yet forever nationally born again.

Isaiah 59:20-21 KJV
20) And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
21) As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Much love!

And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord,
That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
But one-third shall be left in it:
I will bring the one-third through the fire,
Will refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ” Zechariah 13

When the Lord Returns for us - Israel are NOT His People, the Church. They are the People whom He foreknew - Romans
He will preserve and sanctify 1/3 of the nation Israel thru FIRE - the Day of Jacobs Trouble - Zechariah 13
They will be SAVED under One Covenant which is the GOSPEL of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The EXACT same way we are saved thru Christ - "no man comes to the Father but thru Me and no man comes to Me except the Father draw them = I will say, ‘This is My people' and each one will say, ‘The Lord(Jesus) is my God.’
They will NOT be raptured with the Body of Christ because they were NOT a part of His Body when He Returns (they were not saved).
The third of Israel whom the Lord saves from the surrounding nations will remain in the Land and thus fulfill the promise made to Abraham and prophesied thru Jeremiah.
Again, I agree with this exactly.

I would add, that the reborn Israel will fully keep God's Sinai covenant, as they keep all the statutes and precepts, and He gives them the blessings of the covenant, to be the head of nations, a kingdom of priests, all of it.

Much love!

He didnt state "Mortal Bodies" forever a nationality as you claim

When a person is in the church, nationality, gender, disappears in Christ, the body is "One"

This Third whom the Lord brings thru the Fire and saves will remain on earth in the Land.
The Third will be brought through the last day fire, to the eternal kingdom in the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, Right Along With The Church

Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation?

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ?

(Behold, I Make All Things New)


2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 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.

PLEASE read carefully what i said - They are NOT and will NOT be a part of His Body/ the Church, when the King of kings Returns.
But he will bring a Third thru the FIRE - Day of Jacobs Trouble - and then the Scripture will be fulfilled Zechariah 13: 8-9
I see the time of Jacob's trouble to be the great tribulation itself, as some of Israel, believing Jesus' prophecy to flee, are in the wilderness, while the remainder are persecuted in an attempt to destroy all of Israel. After the 2/3 are killed during that time, Jesus returns, stops the killing, and gathers His chosen nation to their land.

Much love!

He didnt state "Mortal Bodies" forever a nationality as you claim
Thy seed, and they seed's seed . . .

Immortal people don't reproduce. That was what Jesus taught. These are the children, the seed, and their children, who forever have God's word in their mouth. Again, this is a pretty simple passage to interpret if you just follow what it says.

Much love!

So what does that tell you? Isn't there a way to understand this so that both passages remain true? It's when someone starts saying, It SAYS that, but it MEANS this, I know that it's not understood. Correct understandings resolve those conflicts.

So when we read about the church, no Greek or Jew, and then we read about the continuance of a nation of Israel, identified by tribes, restored to their promised land, a nation before God forever, we need to examine our own ideas to see where the conflict is, because it's not between these passages.

Much love!

Yes, unlike the Church who will be 'Resurrected and Caught Up', they (Third brought thru the Fire) will be saved but as a earthly nation Restored just as Paul wrote in Romans 11; 25 -26
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved.
As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
This is the THIRD taken thru the Fire and saved and Restored in the Land.

And Jesus rules the world from Jerusalem. And all the Israelites are priests on behalf of the entire world. Every cooking pot in Jerusalem is used to boil the sacrifice. The 12 Apostles will judge the 12 tribes, and David will be their king, under the King of Kings. We will have returned with Jesus, clothed in our resurrection life, our bodies made like His, to serve Him.

Are we still on a same page?

Much love!

You fail to acknowledge the very clear scripture before your eyes, you have been shown "Several Times"

As clearly seen below, The Church Is The Israel Of God, The Twelve Tribes Scattered Abroad, Just As James 1:1 Represents Gods Truth, That Is Screaming In Your Eyes That You Reject

James 1:1KJV
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

You didn't take offense - did you?
Is this to me? If so, absolutely not, I can't imagine over what. I just feel like I've gotten confused over something that was said, or what, I don't know, but I do love comparing notes!

Much love!

The earth that gets dissolved by FIRE occurs AFTER the Thousand Year Reign of Christ and His Church.
This is in Revelations 20
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

Revelation 20:1-6 Isnt A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Dont Be Deceived

The earth that gets dissolved by FIRE occurs AFTER the Thousand Year Reign of Christ and His Church.

This is in Revelations 20
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?
2.) Physical Earthly Throne?
3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
