The majority of so-called end of days prophesy and the what and when is a Protestant construct and most of it is less than 200 years old and wrong.

The modern nation-state of Israel has nothing to do with God's chosen people or Biblical prophesy. We, The Church are Israel. All the promises are fulfilled. Israel the nation-state has nothing else coming to them or any special standing.

The Jews had an Old Testament, which meant nothing to the Gentiles,


Not true. The Greeks had compiled all the ancient Jewish texts into the Septuagint and basically were worshiping God long before Christ was born. By doing so, the Greeks had actually preserved the original writings when the Hebrew texts were lost or destroyed.

When Christ and the Apostles were quoting what is now OT scripture, they were quoting from the Septuagint which was in common use at that time.

The Masoretic texts that the Reformers copied and translated for the Protestant Bible didn't become Jewish canon until about 1000 AD or so. The Masoretic texts were written in a manner to try and disprove Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They left several things out of some of the books that are found in the original Hebrew scriptures that were eventually translated into the Septuagint.
