And it is where the Temple must be rebuilt to accommodate the AC trying to claim the throne of God as well as the last battle of Armageddon .

Jesus is the only way to God . The divine right to such a barren land is not a glorious thing except that God gave it to them and Jesus will come back there .
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
-- Matthew 7:14
Minus 1800 years when they didn't, and considering the modern so-called state calling itself Israel as if it was somehow the exact same thing as the fabled Israel of yore, and considering Egyptian and Assyrian, and Babylonian and Persian, and Greek and Roman, rule as also including somehow a state status, and considering that the book describing this assumed state is not just lying to defend a vested interest in there even ever having been a such thing as a kingdom of Israel.
Palestine has been the territory of Israel since they entered Canaan.

Absolutely , God placed the importance on that land . And it is where the Temple must be rebuilt to accommodate the AC trying to claim the throne of God as well as the last battle of Armageddon .
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

AC trying to claim the throne of God
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

My question is: Aren't the Jews "owed" something by the Christian powers (the ancestors todays western countries) and the Muslim powers, who practically enslaved them for hundreds of years? The crimes are too many to enumerate here, but suffice to say, they are in a category similar to blacks in America.

Then Revelations tells us of the Mark of the Beasts . This would require a One World Government with a one world money that could not be handled .

Matthew 24 verse 14 states in Jesus words that this Gospel shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations and then the end shall come.

How many would believe the AC to be Jesus saving Israel at the juncture?

Then if all of the tribulation occured in 70 AD then the "rapture" has already come and gone and the thousand year reign has past and Revelations 20 verse 8 Armegeddon has already come and gone .

It seems to me that God made a people out of no people (the Gentiles) and to do this he offered the Gospel of Jesus to the Jew knowing what their responce would be effectivly bypassing them . I do believe that if the Jews did accept Jesus as their Messiah that they would never have shared the Gospel with the Gentile.
Romans 9:17
17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
Tel Megiddo
is a tell in modern Israel near Kibbutz Megiddo, about 30km south-east of Haifa, known for its historical, geographical, and theological importance, especially under its Greek name Armageddon. In ancient times Megiddo was an important city-state. Excavations have unearthed 26 layers of ruins, indicating a long period of settlement. Megiddo is strategically located at the head of a pass through the Carmel Ridge overlooking the Jezreel Valley from the west.
Megiddo was a site of great importance in the ancient world. It guarded the western branch of a narrow pass and trade route connecting Egypt and Assyria. Because of its strategic location, Megiddo was the site of several historical battles.

The Palestine is NOT important to the West. Hell it is not even important to the Jews. But rivers of blood will still flow over it. Because of a poor prophet called Jesus who happened to be born in this area.
