Over the past two weeks I have been confused about where both the Gentiles and Jews will stand in the Millennial. This confusio has led me into some deep Prayer Bible research and also to register on this forum. I have 3 Big questions that if answered would stop my wondering about this topic: Why is there such a big distinction between the Physical Isrialites and Physical Gentiles in the Bible, aren't we all equall in christ, Jesus? It all plays into the Millennial Reign Where is the place of the Jews and Gentiles during this time? and what will happen after the 1000 years, will we all be one group instead of being two distinct groups?

I think that the distinction is only under the old covenant...
Now, whether Jew or gentile, salvation depends only on Christ:

Galatians 3:28
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.

To be honest, I am not at all sure where I stand on the millenium.... and my grasp of end times theology is too shaky to do your question justice.

Well, the one thing that answers your question is this. All true believers ARE the True Israel. There will be no distinction between physical Jew and Gentile. All believing Gentiles are grafted into Israel and all no-believing Jews are broken off. When we believe and trust in Christ, we become true Jews. Only the true Israel will enter the Kingdom, and the True Israel is comprised of people from every tribe and nation. There will not be two groups, only one. But in that groups will be incredible and glorious diversity.

If you check into the way the NT deals with Jew and Gentile, it generally talks about how they've been brought together in Christ Jesus into the Kingdom of God. That's what really matters. And that's what makes up the Israel of God.
