In Revelation He promised us that Israel would be put back in their land...

Methinks you watch too much Jack Van Impe. Your criticism of Pius XII is based on a bogus interpretation of scripture, and equally false history. Perhaps a little more scholarship needs to be applied. But first, change your sources.

Oh really? How so? I base my belief, as do tens of millions of Christians, on the LITERAL interpratation of what was a clear prophesy give by God to us in Revelation. Revelation was written in 95 AD. After Israel and Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed.

It is eye opening to realize that whenever someone in the Bible is READING the Bible, they take what it says LITERALLY. The classic example of this is Daniel chpt 9:

2 During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, was studying the writings of the prophets. I learned from the word of the LORD, as recorded by Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years...

Daniel based his following actions on the premise that God's Word in the Bible meant a LITERAL 70 years. Indeed, God exiled the Jews for precisely 70 years. We see that God is again fulfilling His words in Revelation LITERALLY. There is now an Israel, there is now a Jerusalem, and soon there will be a new Temple. (But there wouldn't have been is Pius had his way.)

You criticize my scholarship...what "scholarship" do YOU bring to the table??? I close with some predictive words from a very wise, learned man:

"About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition."

Sir Issac Newton 1642-1727

Newton took the Bible quite literally, and the literal interpretation of the prophesies in Daniel and Revelation were his life's passion.
