In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, and this, too, has ramifications for the student of scripture. God promised Abram that his posterity would have Canaan as “an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). Having Israel as a nation in its own land is important in light of end-time prophecy, because of Israel’s prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8).

In regard to Israel’s right to the land, the Holy Bible declares that the God of Israel gave the land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
The Land is Israel’s FOR EVER, upon this earth and throughout eternity (Gen.15:18, Eze.37:25 below).
Gen.15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Eze.37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have GIVEN unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13): and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.

Since God promised it to Abram and his posterity and the
covenant was renewed with Isaac and Jacob(Israel), then
no one (no terrorist, no super power, or anything else) will
ever take Israel away from the Jew again.

Nothing is near end unless you listen to whack os. The Bible is a Myth and more and more the achiologists are proving that, not that they needed to.
