What Christians and Jews Believe of Each Other about the Last Days

The Bible has much prophetic data about what religious Jews call “the end of days” and Christians call “the last days” or “the end times.” Many Christians believe that during the last days a very significant “remnant” of Jews will repent towards God and believe Jesus of Nazareth was a great prophet and perhaps Israel’s Messiah. (On this see Chapter Three: The Remnant” in my book entitled Warrior from Heaven.)

Actually, this Jewish belief has already partially begun. It began with Reformed Jews in the mid-1800s in Germany and spread to the U.S. They rejected their ancestors’ belief that Jesus “practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy” (Sanhedrin 43). Many Reformed Jews now believe Jesus was a prophet of God, though not Israel’s Messiah.

During the late 1900s, a small movement arose in the U.S. consisting of Jews who call themselves “Messianic Jews.” They believe Jesus was God’s Messiah of Israel. But they also accepted the majority Christian view that God is a Trinity of Persons, with Jesus being the Second Person of the Trinity as both man and God. All other Jews strongly disagree with this latter tenant, that God is a Trinity of Persons and Jesus is God.

Actually, many religious Jews believe that by the time of the last days, Christians will have abandoned their belief that God is a Trinity of Persons to believing that God is “one,” the creed of Judaism, so that Jesus is not God.

I think both are right: by the time of the last days, a significant remnant of Jews will believe Jesus is Israel’s Messiah and a large majority of Christians will have changed to believing God is a single person, so that Jesus is Savior and Lord but not God.
