Thanks. Seems so obvious but I dare not even discuss it with my dispensational family. I don’t know why it stirs up so much hostility but a lot of dispensational folks seem to question or down right deny your salvation if you don’t share their eschatology. BTW I am retired USAF Col and I would have gladly been there to support and defend the State of Israel if it came down to their destruction. Sorry to have to mention that disclaimer but usually the anti semite card is close behind.

On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God. Selah
Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
“This one was born there,” they say.
And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish her.
The Lord records as he registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah
Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”

I saw what you did there. :-).

I think it’s Talmudic that, “If one is planting a tree and hear the moshiach is come, first finish the planting and then go to greet him.”
