[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. [8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 & II Peter 3:8

[15] I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. [1] Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 5:15 to 6:2

Christ left by ascension and returned to His place in heaven.  He is waiting until they acknowledge their offense of rejecting Him as their Messiah.  They will do so in the Negev when they are driven into it by Antichrist, and will begin to seek His return.  The affliction of the Tribulation Period experienced in the Negev will cause them to seek Jesus early in their tour of it.  The Jewish remnant (The woman’s seed in Revelation 12:17) in the midst of Israel (the woman) is composed of 144,000 Jewish believers.  This remnant will exhort the other Jews in the Negev (the 1.6 to 1.9 million from Zechariah 13:8,9 and Revelation 12:6,14) to “return unto the Lord.”  They will tell them that their God has smitten and torn them, but if they will turn to him through his Son, he will bind up their wounds and heal them.  All this is supposed to occur in this present century, and I strongly suspect it is likely to occur before 2008.

[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Revelation 12:17 & 7:4

[8] And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. [6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Zechariah 13:8-9 &  Revelation 12:6-14.
