Jewish Revolution Saved

| What's definitely happening is this. | |
| When I got saved, so late 60s, early 70s, was what we call the Jesus People movement, the Jesus Revolution. | |
| You remember it well. | |
| All these hippies, radicals, rebels getting saved around the world. | |
| Well, because so many Jews were hippies, radicals, rebels, that when God began to move, a very high percentage of Jews got saved then. | |
| It was quite remarkable. | |
| Almost all the leaders I know in Jewish ministry today that are anywhere old enough, they all got saved within a two or three year period right then. | |
| We haven't seen something fully on that scale. | |
| But what we have seen since the 70s is the raising up of Messianic Jewish congregations, reminding the church of our Jewish roots. | |
| This is massive. | |
| And people talking about things today that were unheard of when I got saved in the early 70s. | |
| Another thing we're seeing is little by little the growth of the gospel in Israel. | |
| After 1948, there were literally a handful of Messianic Jews in Israel. | |
| Literally, a handful, just a very, very few people. | |
| Now the estimate is maybe 15,000, 20,000. | |
| Now it's still a tiny minority, but it's rapid growth. | |
| Several hundred Messianic congregations of different sizes. | |
| And then more and more of the population recognizing, well, you know, they serve in our military. | |
| So there's a growing acceptance and recognition. | |
| At the same time, the Orthodox population is growing rapidly. | |
| The ultra-Orthodox population, it's very common to have 10, 12, 14 kids in a family, and they're as hostile and opposed to Jesus, Yeshua, as you could be. | |
| They have no idea who he really is. | |
| When I was in Israel in May, we had a confrontation. | |
| They were spitting on the ground and cursing his name, and they have no clue who they're even talking about. | |
| Just the Jesus of church history that they've been taught in an exaggerated way. | |
| But even there, little by little among the very religious, they can't be open yet, but here and here and here, coming to faith, little by little. | |
| So I know that, I know that, I know that the day is going to come when my people are going to turn in a national way. | |
| That Zechariah 12, 10 is going to be fulfilled. | |
| It says in Hebrew, Vahib to Elih to Shir Techara, they'll look to him whom they've pierced, and there'll be national mourning. | |
| As Jeremiah 31, 1 says, that day God will be the God of all the families of Israel. | |
| And Paul in Romans 11, 26, all Israel will be saved. | |
| It's going to happen. | |
| So little by little, little by little, and boom, the explosion. | |
