Hi Phillip: Im not the eschatological guy...so I might be missing it here. But your last paragraph creates way more questions than it answers. So the Church is in heaven, the Jews are on earth, Jesus is reigning over the Jews, yet the need the gospel under his reign? So, the Jews don't get saved under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but under the Gospel of the Kingdom? So why bother preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to them now?

"""John 20:31 (KJV) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.This is for every one that might believe.What Gospel is going to be preached in the tribulation?Certainly not the Gospel of Grace, especially the second 3 and a half years ending the tribulation, with the 7 trumpet and seven bowl judgements of God. Rev 16 thru 19"God is going to seal and commission the 144,000 young Jewish men whom God will use to circumvent the globe. They won’t be preaching the Gospel of Grace as we know it, but, rather, they will be reverting back again to the Gospel of the Kingdom as it was being proclaimed at the time of Christ and Peter and the eleven." By Les FeldickJesus Himself said, "The Kingdom of God is at hand", through John, He Himself was at hand and He would be their King if they believed, they did not and crucified Him.The last 14 and worst Judgements are coming, not to the Body of Christ.In Christ: Phillip
