God's plan for Israel involves a great day of deliverance and salvation, a day when a tragic history will be reversed and become a history of great joy. This is predicted in the Old and New Testaments, particularly in the 12th chapter of Zechariah, where God promises to make Jerusalem a cup of trembling for all the peoples, causing them to stumble and fall. The prophecy also speaks of a worldwide battle, the Battle of Armageddon, where all the nations of the world will converge on Israel, but ultimately be defeated by Jesus Christ. This event is seen as a time of great judgment and salvation for Israel, and a reminder that God is in control of history and has a plan for the future.
