The Bible describes a future time when Gentiles will cling to Israel, seeking to learn the ways of Yah. This is the fulfillment of Yah’s ultimate plan for Israel to guide the nations. From the beginning, He gave the descendants of Jacob the responsibility to uphold and teach His laws. In the last days and throughout the millennial reign, He will give them the strength to carry out this assignment completely.
What It Means for Gentiles to Cleave to Israel
The word "cleave" in the Bible means to hold on tightly and remain connected.
Isaiah 14:1 describes this:
"For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob."
This passage reveals to us that the Gentiles will hold onto Israel because they will see that Yah is with them. They will no longer try to create their own ways to serve Him but will look to Israel for guidance.
Israel Was Always Meant to Teach the Nations
From the beginning, Yah gave Israel the responsibility of teaching righteousness. The law was given to them, not to any other people. Isaiah 2:2-3 speaks of the nations turning to Israel for wisdom:
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Micah 4:1-2 repeats this prophecy, making it clear that Israel will be the source of instruction for the world:
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Yah entrusted this role to the descendants of Jacob. The law will not come from any other source. In the last days, when order is restored, the nations will recognize that Israel was always meant to lead them in righteousness.
The Messiah’s Reign and Israel’s Leadership
Though Israel is given the responsibility to teach, Yahusha is the King who will reign over all. Zechariah 2:11 describes how Yah will bring the nations to Himself:
"Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee."
The nations will worship Yah, but they will not be in charge. They will follow the order that He established, with Israel leading them in obedience to His commandments.
Israel Ruling with the Messiah During the Millennial Reign
The Bible makes it clear that Israel will not only teach the nations but will also rule alongside the Messiah. Revelation 5:10 declares this:
"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
This verse confirms that Yah has appointed Israel as both rulers and priests under the authority of the Messiah. They will not just be teachers but will exercise authority over the nations. Their leadership will not come through their own power but through Yah's divine order. This aligns with Daniel 7:27, which states:
"And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."
Israel’s role will not just be one of instruction, but of active governance in righteousness. The nations will be under their rule, learning Yah’s laws from those He has chosen.
Gentiles Will Actively Seek Israel’s Guidance
The Gentiles will not resist Israel’s leadership. They will recognize that Yah is with His people and will seek to follow them. Zechariah 8:23 speaks about this moment:
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that Yah is with you."
The world will no longer be divided in confusion. The nations will no longer create their own religious paths. They will know that Yah is with Israel, and they will come to them for guidance.
Israel Was Given the Oracles of Yah
The reason Israel holds this responsibility is made clear in Romans 3:1-2:
"What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of Yah."
Yah gave His laws, His wisdom, and His truth to Israel. That has not changed, and it never will.
Israel’s Future Role in the Kingdom
For centuries, Israel has been scattered and mistreated, but Yah has not forgotten His promises. In the last days and during the millennial reign, He will restore His people to their rightful place. They will no longer be oppressed or hidden. Instead, they will be the ones guiding the world in righteousness, just as Yah intended from the beginning.
Israel will not follow the nations. The nations will follow Israel. The law will go forth from Zion, and Yah’s people will be the ones teaching it. The world will not stay in disorder. Yah will bring everything into its proper place, and Israel will fulfill the role He gave them long ago.
Conclusion
The Bible is clear. Yah chose Israel to lead the nations in righteousness. The Gentiles will cleave to them, not to change them, but to learn from them. As Israel follows the Messiah, they will teach the world what is right. In the last days, Yah will restore Israel to their position, and the nations will no longer follow their own ways. They will look to Zion, where the truth has always been. Through Israel, Yah’s laws will reach the entire world, just as He planned from the beginning.
