Problem is if you're a Christian we no longer see the state of Israel as being 'God's people' spoken about in the Old Testament. Sure Abraham was given a promise and his descendants will outnumber the stars in the sky. For the Jewish people however the problem comes when Jesus enters as the Messiah and they kill Him.. and pass on to their followers the rejection of Him. 'Israel' is meant to mean the followers of God and thus Christ down to this day, not a piece of land in the middle east. Jewish people in Israel are no longer the people of God if you believe in Christ. But they hold onto 'the promise' and continue to believe they have God's favor.. If you're Jewish you believe this.. if you're Christian it becomes obvious Israel is in for a shit storm.
