I loved your message with Esther 4:14
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish.

[TheJason]

They have already chosen the Noahide laws which have been signed by previous US Presidents, including Trump.

Also, the Jews returned at Pentecost and messianic Jews will return.

But there were men dwelling in Jerusalem who were worshipers of God, Jews from every nation under Heaven. Acts 2:5 Aramaic

“How are we hearing, everyone, his own dialect in which we were born?” 9“Parthians and Medes and Elanites, and those who dwell in Bayth- Nahrayn, Judeans and Qapodoqians and those who are from the regions of Pontus and of Asia, ” 10“And from the regions of Phrygia and of Pamphylia and of Egypt and of the countries of Libya which are near to Cyrene and those who came from Rome, Jews and proselytes”, 11“And who are from Crete, and Arabians, behold, we are hearing from those who are speaking in our own dialects, the wonders of God.” Acts 2:8-11 Aramaic

I believe verse 18 & 19 is talking about those who came at Pentecost (Acts 2:5; 2:8-11) and the sign was tongues of fire. Then Jesus sends some of the saved ones to the nations, showing His glory among the Gentiles. They shall return from all the nations as an offering to the mountain of His holiness in Jerusalem, as the children of Israel bring a meal offering [symbol of God’s healing power] in a pure vessel to the house of LORD JEHOVAH. Taking some also for Priests and for Levites. Then it confirms Rev. 21:1 and Rev. 20:9, 10

And I know their works and their thoughts when I [Yeshua The Messiah] have come to gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and they shall see my glory 19And I shall set among them a sign and I shall send some of the saved ones to the nations, to Tarshish and to Pul and to Lud, who draw a bow, and to Tubil and to Yavan and to the distant islands who have not heard my name and have not seen my glory, and they shall show my glory among the Gentiles 20And they shall bring all of your brethren from all of the nations as an offering to LORD JEHOVAH, on horses and in chariots and in Roman two horse chariots to the mountain of my holiness in Jerusalem, says LORD JEHOVAH, as the children of Israel bring a meal offering [symbol of God’s healing power - 2 Kings 4:38-41] in a pure vessel to the house of LORD JEHOVAH 21Also I shall take some of them for Priests and for Levites, says LORD JEHOVAH
22As the New Heavens and New Earth that I make, that remain before me, says LORD JEHOVAH, so your seed and your name shall be established
23And it shall be from the time of month to month and from the time of Sabbath to Sabbath, everybody shall come to worship before me, says LORD JEHOVAH
24And they shall come out and they shall see the corpses of the men, they who have done evil against me, for their worm does not die and their fire is not put out, and they shall be a wonder to everybody. Isa. 66:18-24 Aramaic

And I saw new Heavens and a new Earth, for the former Heavens and the former Earth had departed, and the Sea was no more. Rev. 21:1 Aramaic
And they went to war upon an open place of The Earth and surrounded the city of the camp of The Holy People [Those who walk in the Way - Isa. 35:8; John 14:6; 1 Peter 1:16 Aramaic] and of The Beloved City [Jerusalem], and fire descended from Heaven from God and consumed them. 10And their Seducer, The Devil, was cast into The Lake of Fire and Brimstone where The Beast and The False Prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for the eternity of eternities. Rev. 20:9, 10 Aramaic

Elisha came back to Gilgal during a famine in the land. The sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, Set on the big pot and cook pottage for the sons of the prophets. Then one went into the field to gather herbs and gathered from a wild vine his lap full of wild gourds, and returned and cut them up into the pot of pottage, for they were unknown to them. So they poured it out for the men to eat. But as they ate of the pottage, they cried out, O man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat it. But he said, Bring meal [as a symbol of God’s healing power]. And he cast it into the pot and said, Pour it out for the people that they may eat. Then there was no harm in the pot. (2 Kings 4:38-41 Amplified)

And a street will be there and the way will be called holy, and impurity shall not pass through in it. The Way must be in it and fools will not go astray there Isa. 35:8 Aramaic

Yeshua said to him, “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Way and The Truth and The Life; no man comes to my Father but by me alone.” John 14:6 Aramaic

Because it is written: “Be holy, just as I [The Lord - Lev. 11:44; 19:2; 20:7] also am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 Aramaic
