Guy E. Mevey argues that biblical prophecies foretell a future restoration of Israel and its role on earth, not a heavenly or metaphorical fulfillment. He cites Micah, Genesis, Romans, Galatians, and Acts to support that God will rebuild Jerusalem’s earthly seat of government and bless all nations through Abraham’s seed. He contends that the church and Israel remain distinct in God’s plan and urges readers to see present signs of preparation for this future work.
