Does Israel have a future?

There is a future for Israel. My belief is based on Romans 11 and the question Paul poses: “Has God cast away His people?” Then Paul answers it in this chapter. First in 11:1, he says “Certainly not.” Even in his time there were some Jews that believed on Christ. He then goes on to say that the very thing from which they were broken will one day be theirs again into which they can be “grafted” (11:24). What is this “tree” from which they were broken? The “promise” of faith resulting in “son-ship” to Abraham (9:4-10:12). When they are restored to faith in the seed of Abraham (that is Christ, Romans 11:25-26), then they will be in a place where God can fulfill His land promise to Abraham which was spelled out in Genesis 15:18-21 and re-emphasized in Ezekiel 47:13 (and following).

Luke 22:30 speaks of a time when the “twelve tribes” will indeed be an entity with Jewish leadership. For what purpose will this be done? This will be done first to fulfill the promise of land to Abraham, but also to fulfill the promise of a kingdom to David in 2 Samuel 7:16 with re-emphasis in Ezekiel 34:23 and 37:25. Revelation 20:1-6 uses this same language where it describes a temporal kingdom and uses the term “Christ” in this and only this context within Revelation. In other words, this will be the kingdom of the Jewish Messiah headquartered in Jerusalem during the future Millennium.
