Nothing in the New Testament is said about a return to the land or a rebuilding of the temple.

I haven't read the article yet, but taking ONLY this in context, I disagree....

The WHOLE Bible is what we are to look at.

His statement was, "Nothing in the New Testament is said about a return to the land or a rebuilding of the temple." That is true statement. With that you cannot disagree.

While Jesus and the apostles spoke about the destruction of the temple and the conquest of the land, they made no mention of any physical restoration. They didn't quote any of the OT prophecies so popular with dispensationalists as proving that the temple would be rebuilt, etc. The reason for this is obvious. Jesus is the true Israel, and His body, the church, is the true temple. They understood the true meaning of the OT prophecies as pointing to Jesus' finished work on behalf of His people (Luke 24:27).
