I point to the existence of Israel and mention how many folks, even so called Christian learned men used to scoff that Israel would ever again become a nation, that Israel’s reemergence in prophecy was to be taken as symbolic of the eventual embrace of the church by the entire world or other symbolic prosaic prattle....but 1948 comes and poof literally against all odds with the whole of the Arab world arrayed against her in battle...and Israel is reborn. If Israel is again a nation...then perhaps other parts of the Bible need to be taken seriously. Israel is indeed a “burdensome stone” or a cup of trembling for the wicked of the world because it is a constant reminder that keeps the wicked looking over their shoulders for the judgment that God is sending our way!
I also hope this puts to rest the "Replacement theology" That somehow the church replaced Israel as the object of God's covenant with Abraham. Replacement Theology got us the Holocaust and is with us today as people abandon Israel for the Arabs. Gen 12:3 is forever true and will not be replaced. Even in Revelation, we see that the final battle will be over Israel, as the church will already be at the Marriage Supper in chpt 4-5. Israel has a covenant that cannot be broken as God changeth not, but the Lamb brought us another better covenant. The church was a mystery not revealed until the Crucifixion of Christ. The Jews still have theirs and every jot and title will come to pass for them also. The Bible tells us that ALL nations will align against Israel and ALL means America also. The church will be gone and the ones left behind will gladly rise against Israel as the final solution. I love Psa 2 where the rulers plot against God while He laughs.
