    Because most American Christians don’t believe Israel is an ally to the Christian faith. They believe Israel must be restored for the rapture to happen but that the war that will follow will consume Israel and the people that live there. They don’t believe Israelites are going to heaven.

    My grandpa, who was a truck driver during the Rush Limbaugh years, tried to explain it to me and even as a kid I thought he was bonkers.

      Here are some quotes my dad noted about the return of Israel:

      Jeremiah 30:17

      “But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, . . .

      Amos 9:14

      “And I will bring my people Israel back from exile. . . .

      Deuteronomy 30:3

      “Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.”

      Isaiah 59:20

      “The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” declares the Lord.”

      Revelation 21:5

      “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'”

      The point I want to make is that The Lord will restore Israel (not mankind).
