Other prophecies are there to show that God is in control and his plan is being worked out. When Israel became a nation that was a demonstration that God is working through his plan. It probably also encouraged individuals to aspire to the resurrection of the land of Israel. Most of us see this in hindsight.

I can’t see what Israel has to do with anything.

My family are “Jewish” Christians. But so what? God is the God of the whole earth. Why deny that? God is working all through the earth, not just in one place. I am of Hebrew ancestry, yet I live nowhere near Israel. Actually, my family name means: “Kin of Judah”, and though I like that, it has nothing imo to do with a country… apart from the fact it is mentioned in the Bible. I do not see God gathering people to a nation on earth. I look to Heaven, as Jesus said. Jesus said “Believe me, there will come a time, when neither in Jerusalem or on this mountain will you worship the FATHER. God desires those who worship him in Spirit and Truth.

Please, anyone, explain the significance of the country Israel? Because I can’t see it. And when Israel attacks the Gazan’s, the spirit in me feels sympathy for them, not for Israel?
