For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and [without] teraphim:

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, {{WE ARE RIGHT HERE TODAY}} and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

Hosea 3:4-5 ===========

 

[PetroniusMaximus]

"For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice,..."


Kind of reminds me of...

"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled... And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." - Luke 21

[jude24]

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, {{WE ARE RIGHT HERE TODAY}} and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

We are not "right here today," according to your definitions. The State of Israel has far from returned to God - they reject him, embracing secularism instead.

Only way we could be here today is if, as we amillenialists hold, the Kingdom is here now and it is a spiritual reality.
