re: Does the Holy Land belong to The Church?

Talk about confusing covenants. God promised that land to the Jews, and while I understand the concept of Gentile Christians being engrained into the fold, and as such, adopted Jews, that does not negate the covenant that God made with the Jewish people as being descendants of the tribes, be they messianic or rabbinical, concerning the physical land of Israel.

I know how the RCC loves to rule the world, but this isn’t another land grab opportunity for the RCC. Paul was referencing the spiritual, not the physical. The physical Israel will pass away, and the NEW Jerusalem will take it’s place and Jesus shall rule over it when He returns, but that has not come just yet, and until then, I’d tread very lightly here in aligning myself with any movement that aims to occupy Israel. You might find yourself on the wrong side.
