It says nothing as definitively as you would indicate.
Hi there,
I think these Scriptures will indicate that Israel is a End Time Prophetic Full-fillment..
After many days you (Jews scattered around the world from 2000 years ago) will be sum-moned; in the latter years you will come into the land (Israel) that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the moun- tains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, & they are living securely, all of them.” (since 1948). Ezek.38:8)
End Time Prophecy has always been centered on Israel...Signs, Seasons and Birth Pains all point twoards Israel because that is where Jesus will plant his feet..
Is Israel a burden today?
The Bible says it is..
Zechariah 12:3
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves....
Matthew 24 has that verse. Its been discussed hereon fairly endlessly. --Q.It says nothing as definitively as you would indicate.
I wonder which is prior, the epistemological problem or the eschatology.
