That depends on which “Israel” you are referring to….if you have been following the thread, it becomes very apparent that fleshly Israel have never lived up to God’s purpose for them and they therefore, by their own disobedience, lost their place in his Kingdom arrangement.
After Israel’s abject failure to accept their Messiah, and ridding themselves of that thorn in their side, God then
“turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name” (
Acts 15:14)
Spiritual Israel became the nation that God chose to replace the ones who failed him throughout their entire history. He fulfilled all those prophesies by replacing an unfaithful “Israel” with a faithful one.. (
Matt 21:33-29;
41-43)
If you are looking to the literal land which Israel was once gifted, but abandoned, then you are looking at the wrong place and the wrong people. What status did Israel occupy when they failed to obey their God?
How harshly punished were they at those times? Is Israel in God’s good books today? Do those who occupy that land as Israelis, claim to be Jewish by religion? Is God fighting for them?
In times past when Israel was defending her territory, did they need the assistance from worldly nations to come to their aid, even when they were greatly outnumbered?
The biblical answer is NO! If God fought for Israel, no nation, no matter how powerful, could defeat them.
That land today is saturated with innocent blood…unholy to God.
