In the Tribulation, Israel will make an
agreement with the Antichrist. That coven-
ant will be broken in the middle of the
years (Daniel 9:27), and a terrific persecu-
tion will be started against Israel.
Israel will come to the end of its patience, as
it runs out of arguments for not believing in
the Messiah. That's when they will turn to
God. Then they will be protected by God, and
will move into the days of the Kingdom ruled
by the Messiah.
