Is that all!!
My position: that those passages refer to the FUTURE repentance of Israel (a prophetically predicted reaction to the time of Jacobs trouble), which occurs contemporaneously with the Second Coming. And one event is the trigger for the other.
Listen, Jesus knew all the words spoken by the prophets and every word ever spoke by the Jews in the OT .. yet He was very clear with one simple word you cannot defeat.
YOU
“Who warned you to flee from the wrath about to come?” (Matt. 3:7)
“From now on, you [Caiaphas, the chief priests, the scribes, the elders, the whole Sanhedrin] shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (Matt. 26:64; Mk. 14:62; Lk. 22:69)
“Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’” (Lk. 23:28-30; Compare Rev. 6:14-17)
“Now these things …were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” (I Cor. 10:11)
So first I will stick with the words of Jesus and understand the OT accordingly.
And I am not going to engage in YOUR click bait, cause if you really wanted to search out the truth there are very solid preachers/teachers who can exegete all scripture.
The question is are you brave enough? I was dipsy once too.
But that is not really what you are after.

You have yet to rattle them. I mean....you haven't even tried.
If, on the other hand, you could offer some brilliant exegesis regarding those OT passages, then you might have a shot.
But I doubt it.....

You and I are grafted in. We do not replace the Jews.
Romans 11 -
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
Why would you pray for peace of a spiritual place? No, it is a real place. And you can doubt if you wish, but that is exactly who is being talked about. Time after time God calls the Jews to repentance, He has never stopped calling nor loving them. The Jews have been blinded for a time. You see what you want to see because of your bias. God promised the land to the Jews and He will keep that promise or God is a liar and you and I haven't a hope of heaven.
I don't see anything that indicates that. We are talking about a place that God loves, Israel, and a people He loves and called out. Like the prodigal son, they will come home. Right now they are the wayward child.
He's talking to Israel, to the Jew first, then the Gentiles. You, we, are grafted in. The promise to them hasn't changed. There is coming a day when God will defeat any who come against Israel. The land is a promise. God said He would gather them and they will never be uprooted again.
Those "unbelieving, blaspheming liars" are the remnant you are talking about. The ones Romans 11 says are blinded for a time, but will be restored. I believe what the Word says, I don't put the cart ahead of the horse. I know what the Word says. I hope one day you will too.

So I've heard, yet it took 7 hours to respond to Hamas breaching the borders and paratroopers massacring 1200 Israelis on Oct 7th while allegedly being informed of the attack in advance. CC's new favorite news source, CNN, allegedly was there ready and waiting for it to happen so they could report.
I agree with you though. They are the most prepared, so I'm curious, if this info is true, why did Israel just sit an chill for Hamas to do it's worst before responding? I know this question is irrelevant to you right now.

They are certainly doing that. Degrade (blow up) thousands of children while "targeting" Hamas is two birds with one stone:
First Bird: Kill a few Hamas terrorists and artillery if successful.
Second Bird: Degrade (blow up) children to either kill them or injure them so they are incapable of retaliating in the future.
I'm curious if the $250 billion oil sitting in Gaza and the Ben Gurion Canal will be birds number 3 and 4.
