According to Dispensationalism, God has two peoples, Israel and the Church, and can only work with one of them at a time. After Israel rejected Jesus in the first century, the apostles turned to the Gentiles, and God rejected Israel temporarily and began working with the Church. The current period we are in is a parenthesis, the Church Age. Until the Rapture occurs and the Church is taken to heaven, God cannot work with Israel and is not working with them. And none of the passages about Israel are in play again until after the Rapture. So none of the verses being quoted about Israel by Dispensationalists, in memes or otherwise, are applicable to the state that today calls itself Israel, nor are they applicable at the present to any Jewish person living right now.
So according to Dispensationalism, the Israel we have in the Middle East today IS NOT THE BIBLICAL ISRAEL. The establishing of the state today known as Israel wasn’t the promised return to the land. It isn’t their return to Yahweh that is foretold.
It’s simply the case that Dispies don’t know the system of theology they claim to hold to.
