Yes, I am aware of that position. Why do you suppose so many Christians are so excited about the spiritual significance of modern, secular Israel?
Cognitive dissonance: People are biased to think of their view of the Bible as correct, despite any contrary evidence.
There is danger: One desires a certain explanation, but it seems incorrect. Dissonance is then reduced by hating that which doesn’t conform to one’s views.
Actually, I find the the Christian obsession with an imminently rebuilt Temple even stranger.
