The claim by our dispensational brothers that the return to the land in the 20th century is the fulfillment of prophecy is not based on the conditions of return in the bible, i.e. that of repentance and obedience to the old covenant:
Moses and Nehemiah spells out the conditions for any return to the land:
Deu 30:1 So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the LORD your God has banished you,
Deu 30:2 and you return to the LORD your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons
Deu 30:3 then the LORD your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.
.
.
Neh 1:7 “We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.
Neh 1:8 “Remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the peoples;
Neh 1:9 but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.’
The facts are the majority of those that occupied the land were and still are atheists who neither repented and keep the commandments.
There is no biblically mandated conditions for a return to the land in disobedience. Therefore prophetically this supposed return is of zero significance.
