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.

Note I did not say...

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

They have returned they have yet to seek. The scattered dry bones are re-assembled but as of yet they do not live (Ezek 37).
