It is a bit of a trick question. If you answer yes that God will cause Israel to be a Christian nation then you are pretty much safe to be acquitted of anti-semitism. For how then can one love God and hate that which he has stated a love for?

1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Therefore if indeed God still holds promise for Israel ( national ) how then can we but pray for His will to be done on earth?

Psalm 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

The throne of David is a statement still relevant to Jesus.

Psalms122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

A promise to Christians the world over....

You may not believe that this Psalm is more relevant today than in David's day. David's Throne is crucial to the question.

Unfortunately the "trick question" when answered no proves nothing concerning sentiments towards Jews but only misunderstandings and/or ignorance of the plan of God concerning physical Israel ( national).

RE>>As you know, after that period, Scripture goes blank. <<

I think not! Concerning this statement I believe the scriptures to be very rich concerning things to follow 70 AD.

I am a partial preterist and believe likely a lot of what you do concerning Matthew 24. It is silly to rebuild a temple and re-institute the sacrificial system just so you can destroy the temple 2000 years after it was already destroyed just to be a futurist! That is likely the silliest eschatology a man could believe. Yet many if not most professing Christians today believe exactly that and look for the Temple to be rebuilt.

RE>>I hope that you can accept that I am not ready to commit to anything definite concerning that.<<

I can accept that you are not able to see the conversion of Israel at this point but if you would I would like to share some scriptures that God has shown me concerning that very thing and more.

Are you interested?
