Evstevemd:
We might all be surprised to learn that the Rapture has already happened. So also the Great Tribulation. In fact two tribulations. The first may have lasted nearly forty years, and was intended for the Jews who professed faith in Christ. It was a time of purifying, of weeding out the fake believers, It was called the Baptism of Fire. Those who endured to the end of this tribulation were saved; they were raptured. Those who didn't make it, who fell away, were blinded and went into the second, the great tribulation (Rome-Israel war). At about the same time Old Israelites were resurrected and taken into heaven, to be ruled and reigned over by Christ and His apostles, at least throughout the Church Age.

All Jews are in heaven at this time, in the New Jerusalem. All these things happened around AD70, give or take a few years. There are no Jews on earth today who can call themselves God's specially favored. He took away their Jewish status earlier by concluding them all (Jews) in unbelief (Romans 11:32). The "Jews" we have today are really Pseudo-Jews, deceived as much by dispensational futurists and the like as by themselves. To try to be a Jew today means that one must try to live by the Law. But no one can keep the Law perfectly. And the Law actually ended in the days of John the Baptist. And sacrifices and oblations ended on the cross. So the wannabe Jew who rejects Christ has no where to turn to have his sins forgiven, and thus may be lost. (perhaps God has special provisions for the deluded masses, which would be great, but I, for one, don't see any of that in the Scriptures.) Those who try to live by the Law today are actually under the curse. Galatians 3:10 "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them."

Christians who almost worship the state of the Jews and Judaism today ought to switch to the KJV, re-learn it, and start preaching the truth. Biblically speaking, the world has only Gentiles, saved and unsaved.
