I been doing some questions and answers on Yahoo and someone asked about Israel in the last days, and this was my response after they asked for scriptural support which I promised:
The Bible tells us that there will be 2 major wars against Israel in the last days.
Isaiah 11 war includes:

Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain Syria, Iraq, & Jordan (Iraq is mentioned because it is connected with Syria and was once Assyria, and Jordan is mentioned because Israel will be taking some of it’s land)
This 1st war is a pre-emptive strike by Israel against these nations. I discuss why I believe they do this on the webpage noted above.
2nd war is the Ezek 38 & 39 war, which includes:

The 2nd war against Israel, may involve some of the following nations:
Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, Libya, the Cimmerians, Germany, the Paplagonians, Turkey, Turkestan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Siberia, China, Phrygia, Tabal of Eastern Asia Minor, Lydia, Gagai, Armenia, Poland, the northern parts of: Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, & Syria
The ones most agree with are: Iran, Libya, Turkey, Sudan.
After these wars Israel will be very strong having won them miraculously and destroying the religion of Islam by these miraculous wars. Read the scriptures I gave concerning the miracles in these wars and the webpage I gave.
however other nations will still hate Israel and some other Arab nations and such. the anti-christ will show up and offer peace to the middle east.
Dan 9:
27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…
Isaiah 28:
14: Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15: Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
This week is a prophetic time table of actual 7 years see here:

DANIEL’S 70th WEEK
Read carefully Daniel 9:20-27. One of the more important time periods in prophecy is commonly referred to by students of prophecy as “Daniel’s 70th Week.” …
The King James translation simply says, “70 weeks.” The literal translation is “70-7’s.” Since in Daniel 9:1, 2, we find Daniel concerned with 70 years, this context requires “70-7’s” to be 70-7’s of years, which is 490 years.
Gabriel here is making known to Daniel that with the 70 years of captivity completed, God still shall deal with Israel for a period of 490 years. The 490 years, in our Scripture passage for this study, are divided into three periods:
First: 7-7’s (49 years), in which time the city of Jerusalem shall be reconstructed (Nehemiah 2)…
Second: After this comes a period of 62-7’s (434 years), which is from the restoration of the city unto the cutting off of the Messiah. This takes place after the 49 years, which makes a total of 483 years. With the cutting off of the Messiah (crucifixion), God sets Israel aside and begins to call out of the Gentiles a people for His Name. This leaves:
Third: 1-7 (7 years), which is still future. God still has 7 years of dealing with the children of Israel as a nation back in their land, the temple rebuilt, the priesthood and services reinaugurated…. This comes after the fulness of the Gentiles is come in, …and the beginning of the Tribulation period (7 years)…
Another good page on this is here:

he will outlaw all religion except the one world religion he will allow, and allow Judaism to continue in Israel.
I will not get into Mystery Babylon the Great Whore here, as it does not directly relate to the question concerning Israel, it is slightly connected because the Bible speaks of Israel building another temple and the anti-christ desecrating it, breaking his treaty with Israel half way thru the 7 years.
However shortly afterwards 2-3 years perhaps, the anti-christ will destroy the Babylonian one world religion making everyone worship him. This will also make him go to Jerusalem into the new built temple and make an abomination.
Back to Dan 9:
27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Math 24:
15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
the Israelites will flee probably to that stone city Petra, as many scholars believe, where they will wait in hiding until Jesus returns.
Back to Math 24:
16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19: And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20: But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
For Petra here was a good page I found:

Only 1/3 of Israel will survive
Zech 13:
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.
but all of them will be saved.
Back to Zech 13:
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.
Rom:11:26: And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
This concludes the scriptural evidence for what I spoke of concerning Israel in the last days.
