I post this again, so Straightshot can properly read and respond to it.In Matthew 21:4 Jesus is talking to the Jews. He tells them the Kingdom will be taken away from them and given to a nation that bears the proper fruit.
So we know from this critical statement, that the Jewish people, now the State of Israel, [a misnomer] won't inherit the Kingdom. Who are the nation [people] who bear fruit? Christians; true righteous believers of God and Jesus, evangelizing and doing good works. THEY will inherit the holy Land and when Jesus Returns, reign with Him in His Kingdom of the Earth.
We Christians are deemed by righteousness to be descendants of Abraham, the one people of God. Galatians 3:26-29
In Matthew 24, Jesus is talking to His followers, NOT the Jewish people as a whole.
God does have His eye on the holy Land, Deuteronomy 11:11-12, and He has helped the Jewish people in their wars, ec. But they continue to refute Jesus and many prophesies say how they will be judged and punished. Isaiah 22:1-14
Jeremiah 12:14-17 is a very interesting passage. It tells of three peoples;
1/ the evil neighbors- the Islamic peoples in and around Israel.
2/ the House of Judah - the Jewish people, the Israelis.
3/ My people, Israel; the overcomers and all true Christian believers.
So only those Jews who learn the ways of My Christian people will join with them in the Land.
