...but are you saying you believe that the earthly Israel given to the Jews by America, while living in threat of war constantly, is the peace Jesus was speaking of?
Nope.
They are back in their land due to their own brand of terrorist acts back in the 1940s against the people who ended up with that land after Rome killed some one million of them; leveled much of Jerusalem; and enslaved those who had not gotten the heck out of there when the getting had still been good.
And that happened to them for their rebellion against Rome; after their rebellion against the God of their fathers.
They were under Rome to begin with, as part of their punishment by God; see Daniel 2 and 9.
They had no business rebelling neither against the LORD and His Christ; nor against the foreign power God had put them under, until He said otherwise.
When He turned from them in His wrath; the stage was basically set for Rome to be able to one day not only wipe the floor with them; but to get away with it; free of the Lord's Prophesied but delayed return to deliver them from their enemy.
The whole thing over there now, was propped up by all sorts of political corruption; espionage; mob money, you name it.
They are not there now because God returned them there.
They are back there once more, of their own will and against His.
Tel Aviv alone is the vacation paradise of the Homosexual world.
The land is not only not getting her Sabbaths; but is polluted like it never has been before.
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Obviously said political times - of Gentiles as Foreign Powers that even that false Israel over there now has to deal with - is still the case at this very moment.
They have no business back in their land, yet.
