"All activities of CUFI are strictly non-conversionary,”

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me", I assume yhat includes the gifts He gives. What good is God's dealing with Israel if not "conversionary"? What good are we to Israel if not agents of reconciliation?

p.s. I'm still premil though!

"Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you." (Deut. 31:1-3)

Restoration is predicated on repentance. The error of those futurists who see modern Israel as a fulfillment of anything is that they ignore this principle. And, by and large, the pro-Israel Christian Zionists are slow with the gospel so as to not offend their "hosts"? They forget "the land" belongs to Christians, not Israelis.

"And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." (Luke 1:16,17)

Turning to Messiah Jesus is the only way for wayward Jews (or anyone else) to receive the blessing of the Lord and the prosperity of "the land".

"Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." (Matt. 5:5)

"For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Rom. 4:13)

"And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gen. 3:29)
