Zionism

[Francine]

Is the secular Jewish State which was founded in 1948 and calls itself the nation of Israel the fulfillment of the prophesy in Ezekiel where a valley of dry bones comes to life?

Does God have a yet-to-be-realized Jewish theocracy in mind?

Will the current secular state of Israel evolve into a religious state?

Can God accept animal sacrifices again in a restored temple after having sent his only Son to be the final sacrifice?

No.

Does God have a yet-to-be-realized Jewish theocracy in mind?

The Jews broke the Covenant a long time ago. That they might flatter themselves to think it still stands is irrelevant.

Will the current secular state of Israel evolve into a religious state?

No, but Religious Zionism might overcome atheistic Secular Zionism, which is merely a cloak for extremist Jewish nationalism, and restore Zion as a profound spiritual concept and goal. But I would not hold my breath for that...

Can God accept animal sacrifices again in a restored temple after having sent his only Son to be the final sacrifice?

Yahweh rejects ritual blood sacrifice of any kind, human or animal. Sacrifice in War, yes, but the taking of life in celebration of Him is forbidden.

Will the current secular state of Israel evolve into a religious state? I doubt it

Not unless Israel is prepared to hold off 1.2 billion enraged Muslims.

well actually they have been doing just that for decades. and you can never really get a proper answer to the religious significance of jerusalem to Islam. one theory is thats exactly why they are built there so that they cannot rebuild the temple allegedly of course

The Dome of the Rock is the oldest Islamic building in the world, and probably the most beautiful building in Jerusalem.

Most of the people I have ever met from Israel, primarily professors, have been atheistic and border line communists perhaps socialists. The general consensus seems to be that the religious Jews are crazy. I am confused by this attitude and would be interested in any thoughts anyone may have on the subject. I don't think these people have a Jewish theocracy in mind and I don't think they will allow the country to become a religious state from what I understand.

it is 7th century and indeed very beautiful i have had the pleasure of being inside and it is indeed a wonder, (but it is still smack bang on top of the temple mount)

Jesus predicts this will be so until the Messianic Age:

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.
