The last line, I believe, encapsulates all your points : God can't end the world (and gas everyone) without Israel (and the temple) ; God's favorite people are still the Jews, even if most of them have no blood ties to Abraham and the Torah.
As I see it, Israel and the temple are idols ... and the Jews as God's chosen is ancestry worship ; originating in ancient pagan rites, plain and simple.
But yes, it's in the Bible ... that's become another idol.
And I wonder, and have even asked, why so many people run to cults. We certainly can't look to them for the answer.
And certainly not to the "Mission Accomplished" Trump.
