Nuggets from "Whatever Happened to Heaven?" by Dave Hunt
Although there are no doubt spiritual applications that can be made to the church from God's dealings with Israel [1] and His promises to her, there is much that simply cannot be spiritualized without doing violence to the meaning of the language and the consistency of Scirpture. National Israel [1] is associated with the land of Palestine, and many biblical prophecies specifically involve that land. We need only recall part of that list: the removal of Israel [1] to be scattered around the world because of her sin; the gathering of Israel [1] back to her own land in the last days; the subsequent attack by the armies of the world against Israel [1] in their attempt to destroy her at Armageddon; the intervention of Christ to rescue Israel [1] and to execute judgment upon those who sought to destroy His people, including such details as His descent upon the Mount of Olives, which then splits in half.
