There is a spiritual Israel and a natural Israel. God is committed to both. Neither replaces the other.

The key is Jerusalem. If it is divided even a portion given to Palestinians - we will witness God's wrath outpoured in a measure unknown to mankind. If the US sponsors or demands such a move, America will be in a financial depression worse than the 1930's.

I have questioned God sometimes whether prayers have gone unanswered. But answered prayer is still harder to believe.

To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable.

God has still a land covenant with Israel.

Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.

The prophet Zechariah warns that any nation that touches Jerusalem will be cut off.
