You have a typical protestant understanding as I once did, and it is completely counter to the bible taken as a whole. They will never be a chosen nation again because they violated God's commands. They have been replaced as a covenant nation.
@VonBonfire was saying Israel should have been set up in South America.
Most of them stayed in the USA anyways. There are more jews here than Israel.
This is a world wide forum, friend.
All of the events in Revelation centre around Jerusalem. Go read your Bible.
That might have been weird considering where certain germans are purported to have went after the war
Not really - us Australian's pWn j00 - just ask @Monkey Man ;-)
Exactly. They were rejected as a covenant nation. Nobody who clings to rabbinical judaism unto death will enter the kingdom of heaven because they have rejected it's king. Christianity 101.
Straw man
There is nothing too weird for VonBonfire mate
May as well quote Lord of the Rings. Same versimilitude.
You are missing the point though. The events of Revelation centre around Jerusalem and some Jews will repent. Also there is nothing barring Jews accepting the Gospel like everyone else.
Nope, I'm flesh and bone, like you.
I prefer the Moon is a Harsh Mistress or Stranger in a Strange Land.
That doesn't legitimize secular Israel as a covenant people.
You're the one saying that - not me.
I'm not missing the point. You seem to be making a case for the actions of a state which claims to have birthright to the land yet the source of the birthright, the Torah, condemns them when they violated the covenant which is why they were expelled from the land. Sure, some jews will accept the gospel but that has nothing to do with the state of Israel. There are protestants who make up BS theology like jews can be saved through judaism or that God himself brought them back into the land. Those claims are all lies.
The point is Revelation says they will be there in Jerusalem does it not. So covenant people or not it's God's plan that they are there and not expelled for all time. They will be there in the last days.
If they aren't a covenant people then they are irrelevant to the events in Revelations. The new Israel is the church. It's a spiritual kingdom, not one built on land stolen from muslims.
I believe part of Uganda was originally considered as well
