Yes. Jesus intended that all, including Jews, come to Him. The Early Church was full of Jews. Those Jews that rejected Jesus have been blinded until the Tribulation Period when their eyes will be opened, and Jesus will draw them unto Himself.

Those Jews that rejected Jesus have been blinded until the Tribulation
brother anyone that has rejected Jesus Jew or gentile is most likely king passed away and can’t possibly my partake in any “ tribulation on earth “ they already died long ago those in Jesus generation that rejected him are already born on earth lived and died and. NOw await the judgement and resurrection this day
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth;
they that have
done good, unto the
resurrection of life;
and they that
have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:28-29 KJV
that’s for those who have rejected Jesus they have to now stand on their own merits before God and nOne is worthy but Christ who they had rejected now they are judged by thier own deeds no atonement
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:12-15 KJV
The book of life is the gospel and those who have accepted and believed being delivered from the second death
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
This was spoken only to the Jews first by Jesus thier promised messiah , and then a few a small remnant accepted him and he sent them out to all the nations to preach the same gospel to all people of the earth it’s always been the plan it’s what Abraham and his promises is about
“As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for
a father of many nations have I made thee.”
Genesis 17:4-5 KJV
“And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
Genesis 22:15-18 KJV
Israel is
only the first born nation of Abraham
many nations would be his children , israel would be the seed by which it would be accomplished
“Know ye therefore that
they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Now
to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to
thy seed, which is Christ.
For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:7-9, 16, 27-29 KJV
That’s true of a former Jew or gentile but brother the flesh doesn’t count anymore being of israelite blood doesn’t mean a thing now it offers no life or salvation who our parents are every man now has an equal way it’s the fulfillment of Abraham’s promise
All Nations will Be blessed in thy seed
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
when the believers of Israel were sent out to all nations
it’s not as if they stopped converting Israelites
many of those who had been blinded were converted at pentocost three thousand in number . Many of the apostles remained in Jerusalem preaching the gospel to all of Israel after Jesus ascended to heaven Paul and barnabus , Luke , Timothy , Silas , Apollos , Priscilla and Aquila as well as many general apostles spread out and were scattered everywhere preaching the gospel to everyone including the Jews out there in the world already scattered from 700 years beforehand when Babylon overtook them
Even today and for the past two thousand years
there’s been Jews converting to the gospel when they hear it and there’s been gentiles converting to Christianity when they hear it there’s just one group now believers and then there’s non believers
There’s always been tribulation , earthquakes , wars and rumors of wars , there’s rampant injustice everywhere abuse and neglect everywhere murder , rape , robbery , lust , greed , pride , violence evil everywhere in the world bad men ruling with nuclear weapons threatening one another ect the world as God made it and intended it to be brother is in total chaos and the order is upside down death row fs over every man and power and money rule the day and corrupts mankind
Tribulation has always been happening “the great “ tribulation Jesus spoke of was the destruction of Jerusalem that
Jesus generation endured prophecied from old time the brutal three year besiegement and destruction of Jerusalem and its temple
since then , the world goes on in a perpetual state of tribulation and it seems normal so we go on with daily life as if the world is what it is we’re waiting for Jesus now brother when he returns it will end allOf the terrible ways man created in earth death and violence abuse and neglect wars and power hunger and greed and lust for rule and reign all that leads us to evil and fills the world with wickedness is going to end
your living in a world brother that’s filled with tribulation and anguish to good godly people in the world it’s just not on our doorstep everyday so we think it’s not happening today there are people in prison , bieng killed , beaten , subjugated, worked to death , violated in many ways across the globe because of their Christian faith it’s just that no none looks and sees and considers the massive tribulation occurring on earth today and always
it’s why children are abused or die of terrible diseases , why people murder one another and terrible things happen to good godly people , there’s a world we have to endure as
believers of the gospel and tribulation is always going to be present for some
“And we know that
we are of God, and
the whole world lieth in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath
given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:19-20
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 KJV
“Princes have persecuted me without a cause: But my heart standeth in awe of thy word.”
Psalm 119:161 KJV
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also.”
John 15:20 KJV
This world may be very cruel to Christian’s and they might endure terrible times but this is for us all to believe in and hold on to , now in this life to be saved from whats coming to sinners after they leave this life and body
“And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
