Jesus came to the Jews first. After many Jews rejected him, the call was expanded to the Gentiles with the call of Cornelius. This was a few years after Jesus rose from the dead. When Jesus comes again he will also go to the Jews first. “Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoils taken from you will be divided among you.  For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city.  Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.” Zechariah 14:1-3

Jesus will fight for the Jews when he descends on the Mount of Olives. King David will also be fighting. “The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be greater than Judah.  On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord before them.  And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:7-9
