Often we , choose a trusted teaching over what the Word simply states. We believe the Word of God to be true


Jos 21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Jos 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Jos 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Doh!

I think so, Yes. :)
To make myself clear though - the kingdom will always be spiritual. The spiritual aspect won't cease to be.
Just as your spirit won't cease to be when you are resurrected with a new body - your redemption is then complete

As for the kingdom on earth, Look;

Isaiah 2~
This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 In the last days

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.

3 Many peoples will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.


Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

No, there has been no country like Israel that has come back together after so many years.
Except all the nations that fell to the Roman empire and then came back after the fall of Rome.
Because they spend a fortune defending their country against Hamas and other enemies.
The US and Nato give them vast amounts of money for that.
They are the 2nd most impoverished modern nation second only to Puerto Rico.
I read an article in the Jerusalem Post about poor single mothers selling kidneys to survive.
Then there is this clip from a Rueter article.
"From childhood, ultra-Orthodox men are schooled almost exclusively in religious studies, many at adulthood choosing full-time study over working. Their traditionally large families rely on state benefits, stipends and their wives’ wages.

As such, Haredim, who make up about 10 percent of Israel’s eight million population, are viewed by many in Israel as an economic burden."

The said religious studies the Talmud as it were, also blasphemes Jesus horrifically say that He is burning in a pit of human excrement. Isnt that lovely?


And God will fulfill His promises to the Jews
He will in Jesus.

If the Word of God is true that makes me correct. They have not possessed all the land. You're no believing Scripture, you're misinterpreting it. As is anyone else that believes any version of replacement theology. The map is the evidence straight from the Bible. You simply believe you can't be wrong. But you are. If you're right, God lied. Pretty sure we're going to be on His side in this one.

You are still stuck in this rut around 1400 BC. So move forward to 70 AD, and discover what happened. In the meantime go through the entire OT to discover what you need to learn.

Hate to tell ya but 70 AD is past.... Please take that as fun...:p
My guess is you have been through the OT as i have. Over my 76 my view has changed I believe changed for the better.
Just as God kept His promise to Sarah
Gen_21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
His promise to Abraham
Jos 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Seems a real injustice to over look the keeping of this promise

What religion is that? It's a very Gnostic-like spin on The Gospel.

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats ~Matt 25

I so wish i was better with language.... I disagree with the label Gnostic. I understand the His kingdom to not be human like . Human like, a palace, court area, a fancy chair. To me He is way above us humans. The Jewish people 2000 years ago wanted a king like King David they could not see the real kingdom of God. The description i find in Scripture of His kingdom is :
Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost
I do not see /understand His glory to be like that of King David .

No country has been reborn after 2000 yrs. None! Israel is the nation that was born in a day that the Bible speaks of.



The US and Nato give them vast amounts of money for that.
They are the 2nd most impoverished modern nation second only to Puerto Rico.

Wouldn't be too critical, it's taking longer to feel it but it's happening in this country. And if the people in US let Biden "finish what he started" we are going to be up the proverbial creek. Liberal gov't takes over and destroys a country. They have enemies on every side, it takes a lot of money to keep the country safe. On top of that, I read an article in the NYer that said they aren't calculating the poverty correctly in the first place and that it isn't that high.

The said religious studies the Talmud as it were, also blasphemes Jesus horrifically say that He is burning in a pit of human excrement. Isnt that lovely?
It isn't true and Jews have denied it through history.

They possessed ALL the land as promised:

"Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land that he swore to their ancestors that he would give them; and having taken possession of it, they settled there. And the LORD gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their ancestors; not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the LORD had given all their enemies into their hands. Not one of all the good promises that the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass." (Josh 21:43-45, NRSV)

"And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and allotted to them every corner, so they took possession of the land of King Sihon of Heshbon and the land of King Og of Bashan. You multiplied their descendants like the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land that you had told their ancestors to enter and possess. So the descendants went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, to do with them as they pleased. And they captured fortress cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses filled with all sorts of goods, hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive orchards, and fruit trees in abundance; so they ate, and were filled and became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness." (Neh 9:22-25, NRSV)

They lost the land and kingdom due to disobedience:

"Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom. The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.” (Matt 21:43-44, NRSV)

"So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Heaven forbid!” But he looked at them and said, “What then does this text mean: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?" (Luke 20:15-17, NRSV)

"Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him." (John 4:21-23, NRSV)

Many men of God in the past and present believed there was to be a mass conversion of Jews just prior to the second coming, Rom. 11:25ff. But in that passage there is no mention of .....

1. There is no mention of them going back to Palestine
2. There is no rebuilt temple in that passage
3. There are no thrones mentioned
4. Also no sacrifices mentioned as in a regression to the Old Covenant
5. Among the orthodox in the faith, the mass conversion of the Jews was seen to be to Christ and his church, not going back into Old Testament times in Palestine.

"Circumcision is nothing; uncircumcision is nothing; the only thing that counts is new creation! All who take this principle for their guide, peace and mercy be upon them, the Israel of God!" (Gal 6:15-16, REB)

"Yet God forbid that I should boast about anything or anybody except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, which means that the world is a dead thing to me and I am a dead man to the world. But in Christ it is not circumcision or uncircumcision that counts but the power of new birth. To all who live by this principle, to the true Israel of God, may there be peace and mercy!"
(Gal 6:14-16 Phillips)

And they LOST all the land which was promised! They were in exile for about 2000 years.

And the little sliver of Palestine which is the present nation-state of Israel is not what God promised. So what's you point? That there will be no Greater Israel in the future? One does not have to be a Zionist to properly interpret Scripture. Neither does one have to buy into Replacement Theology (which is total nonsense). Why don't you carefully study the prophecy of Ezekiel and see that it has a future fulfillment. Then go to all the other prophecies from Genesis to Revelation which harmonize. Under Christ REDEEMED AND RESTORED ISRAEL will stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates as promised in Genesis 15.
I do not see the relationship.

Isaiah 54:7-8 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

Lets start here😊
Isaiah 54
Easy-to-Read Version
God Brings His People Home
54 “Woman, be happy!
You have not had any children,
but you should be very happy.

“Yes, the woman who is alone[a]
will have more children than the woman with a husband.”
This is what the Lord says.

2 “Make your tent bigger.
Open your doors wide.
Don’t think small!
Make your tent large and strong,
3 because you will grow in all directions.
Your children will take over many nations
and live in the cities that were destroyed.
4 Don’t be afraid!
You will not be disappointed.
People will not say bad things against you.
You will not be embarrassed.
When you were young, you felt shame.
But you will forget that shame now.
You will not remember the shame you felt
when you lost your husband.
5 Your real husband is the one who made you.
His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
The Holy One of Israel is your Protector,[c]
and he is the God of all the earth!

6 “Like a woman whose husband has left her,
you were very sad.
You were like a young wife left all alone.
But the Lord has called you back to him.”
This is what your God says.
7 “For a short time I turned away from you,
but with all my love I will welcome you again.
8 I was so angry that for a while I did not want to see you.
But now I want to comfort you with kindness forever.”
The Lord your Savior said this.

9 “Remember, in Noah’s time I punished the world with the flood.
But I made a promise to Noah that I would never again destroy the world with water.
In the same way, I promise that I will never again be angry with you
and say bad things to you.

10 “The mountains may disappear,
and the hills may become dust,
but my faithful love will never leave you.
I will make peace with you,
and it will never end.”
The Lord who loves you said this.

11 “You poor city!
Enemies came against you like storms,
and no one comforted you.
But I will rebuild you.
I will use a beautiful mortar to lay the stones of your walls.
I will use sapphire stones when I lay the foundation.
12 The stones on top of the wall will be made from rubies.
I will use shiny jewels for the gates.
I will use precious stones to build the walls around you.
13 I, the Lord, will teach your children,
and they will have real peace.
14 You will be built on goodness.
You will be safe from cruelty and fear.
So you will have nothing to fear.
Nothing will come to hurt you.
15 I will never send anyone to attack you.
And if any army tries to attack you, you will defeat them.

16 “Look, I made the blacksmith. He blows on the fire to make it hotter. Then he takes the hot iron and makes the kind of tool he wants to make. In the same way, I made the ‘Destroyer’ to destroy things.

17 “People will make weapons to fight against you, but their weapons will not defeat you. Some people will say things against you, but anyone who speaks against you will be proved wrong.”

The Lord says, “That is what my servants get! They get the good things[d] that come from me, their Lord.

The is written within a context of addressing the "O, barren woman" Israel who's Husband had at one time forsaken and prophetic of them (she and her Husband) bringing forth (a) seed (noun masculine singular construct according to the Morphology parts of speech guidance) that will inherit the gentiles... This is prophesy of Messiah.
I can not find the source of your quote.
