The Israel of the last days is not, nor ever will be anything more than the staging grounds for the fulfillment of all the prophesies concerning the last days of this age.
So many folks throw around the term "a shadow" of what is to come. It would be wonderful if those folks could see this everywhere concerning the events of this age, if not for any other reason than it is this age now, and not the Eternal Kingdom of God.
Yes, we are to love the Israelis, whether friend or foe, but this does not mean we pray for anything the government may do that is against Jesus Christ. It is not a difficult formula to labor over. We are to love all mankind and pray for all souls.
As for the true Israel, we await New Jerusalem to be brought down by God, Himself. Now it stands to reason, God having chose (new) Jerusalem as His City, has chosen it as the capital. The capital of what? Of the true and eternal Israel. When I speak of these places I have what the names translate to in English or whatvver language is being spoken or read. Sop please do not think of the Israel of God as a place that can be mapped by anyone other than God Himself.
No one need believe my understanding, but do not simply reject it because you have no grip on how things will be or are. This is said in all tranquility, and not as an affront. God bless all who are in Jesus Christ, Yeshua, and may He return soon to set us all straight on His Way.......amen.
