Hmmmm very interesting post bro. That was a really good question concerning whether or not the Jews returning to Israel was fulfillment of Scripture or not. Upon further cogitation, I'm not sure either ! After all, Jesus did say to them, Luk 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. And they haven't exactly blessed the name of Jesus Christ, now have they ? Actually, I have found that Jews are one of THE most difficult people to talk to about God or Jesus or the Bible. They say the most INSULTING, BLASPHEMOUS things !! I agree that the Judaism of today has very little to do with what Moses wrote or preached. As Apostle Paul said, "Rom 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." And Jesus also warned us TWICE that our enemies would claim to be Jews but weren't really Jews (Rev 2:9, 3:9). Its no coincidence that thats the EXACT thing we see today, as most of the NWO elite are SUPPOSEDLY Jews. Of course, they arent really Jews, since they worship Satan and not God. Your post reminded me of the Epistle to the Hebrews. It talks about all the same points you were bringing up, as I'm sure you already know ! And your right about what passes for Christianity these days (I call it "Churchianity"). Of course, there is a remnant, among the Jews as well as among us Christians. I think me and you are a good example of the remnant. We actually BELIEVE what the Bible says unlike many others, sadly. But when Christ returns and stands upon the mount of Olives, then all the Jews WILL believe, and they will be saved as it is written in Romans and in Zechariah, when the time of the nations will be fulfilled. Good post bro. I'm gonna have to think on this Israel thing a little. I know He promises to gather them, but was THIS it ? Good question bro.
Peace
