Yes, I know there will be and it will come to be and continue to be by GOD's sustaining power as well.
But GOD also promises restoration of what exists now.
What? You don't believe in GOD's restoration power in Rom 8:18-23?
I already know you don't believe Act 3:21 and have felt the need to make it say something different than what it plainly says.
After reading Eph 1 and col 1 and Heb 1, I can't imagine what would be the need or significance of that. He says in Heb 11 that they were NOT seeking either Judea nor Persia which they left, but a heavenly place, which he then says is the city of Zion above with all the saints and angels.
I honestly don't know what happens when guys get to the NT, but the OT has you like cement up to your armpits and you can't imagine anything else.
The sermon of ACts is to a group who have your question: now what? now what happens to the land of Israel enmired in the muck and torchings of the zealots? THE GOSPEL!!! That's what happened. Now everything promised is in the resurrection where it can never be torched, nor women raped, nor stones tumbled. I don't know if you've followed how utterly stupid STP has been on this, on keeping a conversation coherent, but he still thinks the issue is one vs other promise. It is not. It is saying the resurrection answers all. That the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ, 2 Cor 1:19+. That it is how Israel gets what it awaited. And it gets the mission of justification too. Not the bare fact of justification, but what the text says there that it is the signification that people are justified from their sins. That is WHY IT RAISES US, TOO (Eph 1:19+) !
I simply can't imagine any reason why a person would be interested in Judea after that, what it would mean. Are you doubting the word? Well may I inform you that all your eggs are in a basket that was only recently claimed to be carrying any eggs, about 100 years ago by Chafer etc. in D'ism. There has been recurrent interest in Jews being believers through church history, but not in the land until the mistaken 2P2P started it up, and Chafer saying the bible is a mess that "we" need to fix (the Dists).
Are you concerned the word of God is not true and this 'solves' that? But it hasn't happened yet. So you think the thing is resolved by something you think is going to happen in the future that is doubted to be the meaning of the word by very good expositors already?
Get with the apostles and their doctrines! There are none of these limbs, guesses, messes, mistakes, discreditations of the bible etc.
I can't believe for all their 'fighting for the literal Bible' and fundamentalism that at the heart of it is a guy who said that Bible was a 'mess of contradicting messages' that needed to be fixed by him!!! That is the dead varmint stench under the floor of this building.
