Actually no. It's God's will. Israel was reestablished according to God's will, survived the attack of 5 nations by God's will and has resisted 450 million enemies by God's will.

It was God's will to spare Nineveh through the preaching of Jonah so it could destroy Israel around 60 years later. Perhaps God letting Israel be "born in a day" is not for the purposes you think it is.

Yeah some of the folks here woild agree with you. I don’t believe Gods Will works without Jesus
 
On this land forever ?

“but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

( or this land forever ?)
….Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:7, 10, 13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:1-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Guess its nice to just skip to the ending.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,

how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:37-38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And it was so 70ad
 
It may be me since I dont know what I'm talking about.
But it seems that without Israel the book of revelation is null and void.
Or maybe it was a printers error and should read Palestine.

Naw it’s nice to follow through prophecy until you see what happened after the covenant was broken though

when he began telling them how he would restore them as part of his new heaven and earth pretty awesome to see what he has in store for Israel when he actually restores them through the messiah on a new earth and also all nations

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31:31-32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

there’s a new cofenant with better promises the old version one is broken they rejected thier messiah
 
And it was so 70ad
Right I agree . Even until right now haven’t had a temple of control of the land since 70ad

they chose the curses and broke the covenant then it had to be fulfilled and a new one had to be given that’s the gospel Jesus never ever ever promised an earthly restoration of any nation including isreal he only foretold tbier destruction and desolation .

And then he gave a new covenant promising salvation from thier Cursed one but it’s new . A new promised land is part of the new covenant

The real question relates to modern Israel. Is it or is it not of God? According to God's word, including His covenant with Abraham, Israel is God's nation. No one is saved apart from Christ. But that is not the same as Israel the nation.

And that is where the Israel haters get it wrong. God has a purpose for Israel that has never changed. And it will be realised fully, whether the disbelievers like it or not. God's will shall be done, here on earth as well as in heaven. And God's will includes literal Israel.

Jeremiah 31:35-36 says that the same God who gives the sun to shine by day and the moon and stars by night and who parts the sea and keeps these ordinances is the same God who will keep Israel as a nation forever.
It is also in Jeremiah that the New Covenant with Israel is mentioned, first ib the natural then in the spiritual.

Palestine refers to a geographic location. There is nothing in Revelation referring to land called Israel. Earthly Jerusalem, however, is specifically mentioned, but instead of it being called by that name (so as not to be confused with God's city) it is called spiritual Sodom and Egypt, which both symbolize the world and its wickedness. That essentially is calling earthly Jerusalem a spiritual whore and the enemy of God.

And when [the two witnesses] shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:7-8
Adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that the friendship of the world is hatred of God? Whoever therefore should want to be a friend of the world stands an enemy of God. James 4:4
Woe unto those who join themselves with her in spirit
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you not be partakers of her sins, and that you not receive of her plagues. Revelation 18:4

But it seems that without Israel the book of revelation is null and void.
Or maybe it was a printers error and should read Palestine.
Palestine is in fact Israel. It is the name given by Rome as an insult, referring to the inhabitants of the land prior to Abraham. Rome was fed up (and rightly so) with Israel's rebellion. The destruction of the temple did not inhibit Israel's rebellion.

Rome took away all of Israel's self government. Finally, Rome effectively destroyed Israel as a functioning nation and renamed it Palestine. Palestine has never existed as an independent state.

This is not conjecture, it is history. God never changed the name to Palestine. God warned Israel that they would be scattered but also that He would bring them back. And so He has.

There is a lot that is not clear in the Book of Revelation. However, to dismiss everything we don't understand as metaphorical is unwise, if we want to know the truth. It's better to say, "I don't know" than to pretend to know what it literal and what is not.

I agree.

Things will get much clearer as they come to pass. It happened for Jesus' disciples, so the end times will become clearer for us too as they come to pass. The key thing is to stick with Jesus no matter what and endure, just like His disciples did.

It was God's will to spare Nineveh through the preaching of Jonah so it could destroy Israel around 60 years later. Perhaps God letting Israel be "born in a day" is not for the purposes you think it is.
There have been many opportunities for modern Israel to be destroyed. So far, 8 million Israelis have stared down 450 million mostly hostile Muslims. I call that miraculous.

Israel will be judged once more during the great tribulation. For sure there will be terrible times for the whole earth, but Israel suffers the most. But God will intervene to prevent the final destruction of Israel by the forces of Antichrist. Israel is still at the centre of history. You don't have to like it. It's the way it is.

But the Bible says that the antichrist will persecute and kill most of us Christians, and will succeed in making us weary and conquer us.

I actually don't think Israel will suffer the most alone, but us as well. Anyone connected to God in some way will be hated and persecuted/killed by satan and the whole world.
