Not sure what all is meant by Zionism, but there is Scripture evidence for the return of Judah back to the holy land, with God promising to not take them out anymore, and it is a prophecy specific to Judah, and does not include the ten lost tribes returning (even though God's Word says they will return also in final).
There is also scriptural evidence of it being fulfilled, the verse I already posted. Zionism is the belief that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy (it's not).
Your assumption is misleading, because the Promises God gave to Abraham involve The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus showed this at the end of John 8 that He knew Abraham (see Genesis 18 also). And Paul in Galatians 3 says The Gospel was preached to Abraham, and linked the believing Gentiles being blessed through Abraham, and inherit with Abraham, and have become the children of Abraham. So the inheritance of the lands of promise is actually part of The Gospel, because in final it's the believing Israelites and believing Gentiles that are to inherit it with Abraham. Those Promises to Abraham continued to his son Isaac, and then to Jacob, then to Joseph, and then to Joseph's two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, so you cannot just end those promises with Abraham either. Can't leave Christ's Church out, sorry.
Which assumption? God ended them himself, it says so it Joshua 21:43-45, sorry. They were fulfilled and done before Jesus ever even came along. The inheritance of Israel has nothing at all to do with the Gospel, it was made complete before then. You offered a whole lot of loose interpretation, but have not fully understood what the Old Testament says.
You sure misrepresented a whole lot... of Old Testament Scripture.
In Romans 11:26, Paul was pointing to Isaiah 11:11-16; Isaiah 45:17, 25; Isaiah 54:6-10.
The Isaiah 59:17-20 verses are specifically... about Jesus Christ's 2nd coming to defeat His enemies, and redeem Israel...
Isa 59:17-20
17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
KJV
Did you miss those parts in red which is about Christ's recompense upon His enemies on earth on the day of His return?
Lord Jesus' 1st coming was to die on the cross meek as a Lamb. His 2nd coming, which is still future, will be with a double-edged sword upon His enemies, and that's what those verses are about with His coming to Zion, so that is not about His 1st coming.
Isaiah 59:20 and Romans 11:26 match nearly word for word, so that's what he was quoting obviously :
“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”
declares the Lord. Isaiah 59:20.
Notice the "as it is written" part, it's a quote. Those parts in red are entirely compatible with his first coming. The "enemies", those that reject him, are repaid with fury, aka hellfire.
Now here are all the parts you missed in the New Testament :
6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring. 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son. Romans 9
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3
Those parts in red eliminate the Zionist interpretation of Romans 11:27. We can determine that Israel is not referring to a whole people or nation, for not all Israel are Israel, only a remnant shall be saved, that would be those who accept Christ. The current promise is for Christians, who are Abrahams seed, not Jews, as it says so literally.
