Israel and the Jews are getting set up to begin to fulfill their call to be a light to the nations.  Ezekiel 36 records the cut and paste history/prophecy that captures Israel’s rise to power and preparation to execute the call to be a light to the nations.  Portions of the Apocalypse are needed to prove that Israel is going to be sitting in the center of the Earth for many, many millions of years.  Everyone knows that the Jews are God’s chosen people, but up to the present, they’ve really not done chosen people stuff.  In 6000 years of recorded, human history, Israel has never been a light to the nations, but now is the time to begin that call.  Israel is to sit in the center of the Earth for many, many millions of years.  When the Jews are on board, Israel will be an Israel of God or an Israel that God approves of, but when the Jews are not on board, the Gentiles will be leading in God’s work in the Earth as manifested in the time period called Christianity.  At a certain point in the future, Israel will begin to rule the globe with an iron fist.  Further, proof that we are nearing the end of the world is the end of the world and prophecies linked up to the end of the world actually surface.  The end of the world has not happened, and nothing in Matthew 24 has happened.  The only thing that has happened is more of Ezekiel 36 has happened.  Today, those in the body of Christ attribute any bad news as proof that we are living in the End Times.  End Times ministries end up turning into mere news stations.  The prophet of Jesus’ return does not exist, and the entire body of Christ knows that.  In the near future, the Messianic movement will gain more steam, the Torah Observant movement will get stronger, Israel will win more wars, more Jews will return to Israel, and the overall economic indicators coming out of Israel will continue to get stronger despite 100s of million of Muslims who want to wipe Israel and the Jews off the face of the Earth.
