Does anyone know what the date setters in dispensationalism are using as the new and improved date for Jesus’ return based on 1948/1967 scenario? Or have they finally given up trying to take the fig tree image and “this generation” in Matthew 24 literally? Or are they quietly suggesting that maybe the significance of secular Israel being politically organized in 1948 was overblown by some of their comrades?

Oh but you forgot a question:

"Where is the promise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep [in 70 AD], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the new testament"?

Thank you for another sign of the last days -- the scoffers of II Peter 3.

Oh but you forgot a question:

I realize it is hard to comprehend sometimes without The Notes, but that what does that have to do with my question about Israel?

Of course we believe that Christ will return. We just do not believe the complex dispensationalism scenario of future events.

But I take it also you do not have an answer to my question about modern Israel and the timing of Jesus’ return, one that seemed so obvious just 40 years ago to most dispensationalists.
