There is an important lesson here. God gave the land to Israel (forever) and to no one else. If, in fact, the Church is Israel, then the Church should be the rightful posessor of that land. But as far as I can tell, the Church has NEVER possessed the land. Except for possibly a few years during the Crusades, it has been physically and legally held by either Jews or heathen since the date of the Destruction of the Temple.
If in fact the Christian Church was the legal heir to the Land of Palestine, then why did God allow it to be taken back from the Church (during the Crusades) and handed over to the Islamasists and eventually (and miraculously) returned to the Jews.
If the Christian Church is "True Israel" then the land of Palestine should be in the posession of the Church itself. But the Church has never wanted the land. Only after it was returned to Jewish rule has it prospered in any sense of the word.
True. Also, it is because of God's Holy Name that he is bringing the jews back, not because they deserve it, and so that the heathen will know He is Lord, to wit:
Eze 36;20-21 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
Eze 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Where did He do that? Be careful there's gonna be another question or two.
