I fully respect the fact that believers hold to such theories but, even believers must bear in mind that most of the world does not hold such beliefs.

And if rational intelligence is applied, why would any God be so petty and so human as to want to 'bring' followers of a religion back to someone else's country in the modern age, just because a few followers camped there in ancient times? Such a belief is utterly ridiculous. First God plays realtor then God plays genocidal stage director. And people wonder why religions have declined.

The belief you cite has to be one of the most psychotic and indeed evil beliefs ever created by human beings, i.e. that some ghastly war is needed, total slaughter, Armageddon, so a few fanatics can be lifted to eternal glory while everyone else dies and then spends eternity being punished for not being a fanatical believer. If anyone wants to look into the face of evil then you will find it in what you call Daniel's 70th week.

No God, no conscious intelligence would ever be so petty, so ridiculously human and so actively evil.
