Honest question to those who believe that Israel occupies some special place in prophecy:
Let's imagine that the temple is erected and all the sanctuary rituals aswell as the festivals and high holidays are re-enacted. You know, Jewish males are supposed to go up to Jerusalem 3 times a year...i mean the whole thing, as it was in the OT.
We are told that God will swoop in and save Israel from Gog & Magog. Now, if you believe that Israel's actions in resuming the sanctuary rituals are a blatant rejection of Christ and His sacrifice, is it not contradictory to also believe that despite that rejection, God will still highly esteem Israel enough to fight her battles and rescue her? Inspite of the historical precedents where punishment for rejecting God had a face; the Assyrians, Babylonians and the Romans?
