Glimpses of Glory
The Kingdom of God is like a small seed, which, being planted, sprouts and grows into a mighty tree. It will one day fill the whole earth. The Kingdom is amongst us. It's coming is often invisible, unseen, and yet we can catch glimpses. Part of that growth involves the ancient Jewish people. They are being called to Christ as their Messiah; they are believing and receiving Him. It is going on all the time. Under the radar screen.
This is in accord with Romans 11: 11-13. The heart of Israel was hardened against Christ. Yet there was deeper magic at work, as Paul reveals. The hardening of the heart of Israel was so that the Gospel might break free from the constraints of Judaism and come to us, the Gentiles. But, a still more deep magic is this: in sending salvation to the Gentiles, God was still at work amongst His ancient people. The conversion of the Gentiles to Christ has always been designed to make the Jewish people jealous, and draw them back to God. And so it is falling out. Eventually their full inclusion will be realised.
There is a website which posts testimonies of Jewish (mainly professional) people who have come to believe in Jesus as their long awaited Messiah. Listen and watch and be mightily encouraged.

Many of these accounts bring tears of great joy to us once-lost Gentiles.
