The Twelve Tribes of Israel will be United
Isaiah 11:13 Ephraim's jealousy will vanish, and Judah's enemies will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.
Jeremiah 3:18 In those days the house of Judah will join the house of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your forefathers as an inheritance. 24 "Have you not noticed that these people are saying, 'The LORD has rejected the two kingdoms he chose'? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation 25 This is what the LORD says: 'If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed laws of heaven and earth. 26 Then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.'

Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD. 8 I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before. .

God's eventual dealings with Other Nations

Isaiah 11:14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will lay hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them. (Present day Jordan). 15 The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that men can cross over in sandals.
Joel 3:19 But Egypt will be desolate, Edom a desert waste, because of violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.
Micah 7:16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their power. They will lay their hands on their mouths and their ears will become deaf. 17 They will lick dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground. They will come trembling out of their dens; they will turn in fear to the LORD our God and will be afraid of you.
Zechariah 10:11 They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be subdued and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down and Egypt's scepter will pass away

. Their Salvation will be permanent
Isaiah 45:17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation.
Isaiah 54:9 "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again
.

Their Honor will be permanently restored
Isaiah 45:17 you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting. Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the LORD, 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares. 18 "This is what the LORD says: "'I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place. 19 From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained. Zephaniah 3:19 At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. 20 At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says the LORD. God's Kindness to them will be permanent Isaiah 54:8 In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer Isaiah 54:10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. Jeremiah 31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar--the LORD Almighty is his name. 36 "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me. 37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD. 41 I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul.

They will be God's People Ezekiel 34:30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Sovereign LORD. 31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are my people, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign LORD.' Ezekiel 37:27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people Ezekiel 37:28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.' The Lord will Rule the world from Jerusalem Jeremiah 3:17 At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts. Jeremiah 30:21 Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?' declares the LORD. Ezekiel 34:23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24 I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the LORD have spoken. Ezekiel 37:24 "'My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees Ezekiel 37:25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. Joel 3:16 The LORD will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the sky will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel. 17 'Then you will know that I, the LORD your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners invade her. Acts 3:26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.

It will Glorify God
Ezekiel 39:25 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now bring Jacob back from captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.... 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations.

The Lord will protect them
Jeremiah 30:20 Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them. Jeremiah 32:37 I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.
Ezekiel 34:22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. 27 They will know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. 28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid
Ezekiel 37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever

Their Spiritual Salvation
Ezekiel 39:29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD. Hosea 3:5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days .

Joel 3:21 Their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, I will pardon.' The LORD dwells in Zion.

Micah 7:18 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. 20 You will be true to Jacob, and show mercy to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our fathers in days long ago.
Zephaniah 3:15 The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
Zechariah 10:12 I will strengthen them in the LORD and in his name they will walk," declares the LORD

Circumstances surrounding the Spiritual Salvation of Israel
There is probably general agreement that the spiritual salvation of Israel will be connected to the coming of the Messiah. This, as we have seen from the cross references to Romans 11:26, will be preceded by an ingathering of the people as well as the restoration of the land. This we see today, but what we haven't seen at the hand of scriptures so far, are the problems the reborn nation of Israel has to face as a consequence of the increase in numbers of Arabs in the land and the hostility of their Arab neighbors. The Arabs would actually not have been such a problem had it not been for the territorial claims of Islam, the religion most of them belong to.
The nations of the world are trying to solve the problem by forcing negotiated peace agreements on Israel, which the Bible refers to as false peace.
Jeremiah 6:14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace.

As we can see today, this peace is not going to become a reality without violent confrontations. At the time of the Armageddon war, we see a categorical statement in Ezekiel 38:8-12 that the ingathered nation will be living in peace. The Lord says this to the nations who will lead this onslaught:
Ezekiel 38:8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety....11 You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.
At the moment Israel is set to continue the surrender of her ancient heritage of Judea and Samaria (West Bank). But we need to remember that all the mountain cities of the West Bank were the home of the Israelites in biblical times. The Philistines lived in the plains and coastal lands in those days.

But we can see in the scriptures above that Israel will again live on the mountains and in the center of the land. This might be the result of the wars on the mountains of Israel that still lie ahead, and not the Armageddon war in the valley of Megiddo. From the revelations to Zechariah, it seems that events in end-times in Israel will have the following chronological order:

1. Securing control over the former Judea and Jerusalem
Zechariah 12:1 This is the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him, declares,

2 "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will

be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God. 6 "On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples (neighboring countries), but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. 7 "The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.

2. Revelation who the Messiah is.
It begins with a restoration of people's emotional security and faith in the Lord to protect them against the aggression of the nations..
8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. 9 For my plan is to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem.
The Spirit will enable the people to discern who the Messiah is:
Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

3. The People will repent
Zechariah 12:11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives. 13 The clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives. 14 And all the rest of the clans and their wives.

4. The Lord will cleanse the Land

Zechariah 13:1 "On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. 2 "On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

Please note that the other tribes would also have been added at that time. This was clear from the discussion of the cross references to Romans 11:26 --
see: The Twelve Tribes of Israel will be United, Isaiah 11:13........

5. The Nations will be drawn to Jerusalem
The ultimate aim of dragging the nations to Israel will be to destroy their troops in the Armageddon war, as a part of God's judgment on them. Their onslaught will probably also serve to effect God's cleansing of the land.
Zechariah 14:1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

6. The Lord (Messiah) will descend to wage the war against the nations
Zechariah 14:3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will

come, and all the holy ones with him.

7. Paradise-like conditions will be restored
Zechariah 14:6 On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. 7 It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime--a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light. 8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.

8. The Lord (Messiah) will rule over the new earth
Zechariah 14:9 The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.

9. The Nations will have to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles
Zechariah 14:16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, they will have no rain.
(Verse 17 shows that there will even then still be rebellion in the nations)
