We all kinda want to see the Temple rebuilt so we can get these end times moving along too.

That's almost certainly another misinterpretation of the New Testament by modern American Evangelicals.

Just as many of us who support Nationalism and Trump have had to come to terms with the fact that our country and intelligence agencies are not this noble ideal that we grew up believing, you lot need to do a little digging and you'll likely find the same is true about your understanding about Paul's writings in relation to "Israel" and what that meant in Paul's time versus what Evangelicals think it means today.
