I agree with this video except one thing. Where most Christians are wrong is the whole Idea that the physical place of Israel is the holy land and these Jews are the only true people of God. We must parish this thought. This is the result of 19th century dispansational teachings of Christianity ,and the Zionist teachings for the push of 1948 date (sorry I dont agree). It’s not Trumps fault he was only keeping his promise (then again he only moved the embassy). This is the result of bad theology. This does not make me anti-semitic, because if we really knew who True Israel is we wouldn't back this ideology.
The question I would always ask as a new believer in Christ, is who am I, and where is my place in of the church? I am a true believer, a Christian, however for some reason this was never satisfying enough. Time after time, Sunday after Sunday I would hear the preacher say it’s not good enough to just know who you are but to know whose you are. I never understood that until I first understood who True Israel is. Somehow I didn't feel special knowing that God chose the Jews first then later bridged that gap and express His unfailing love for all humanity through Jesus Christ on the cross. This is very true, however I believe we miss our true worth until we come to the reality and fully understand God’s plan for all humanity, and also recognizing that God always had a chosen people, not by might, nor by strength, but by faith in the one and only true God the father Yahweh. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. “We are all one in Christ Jesus thus True Israel, Virgin Israel, the seed of Abraham, sons of the living God (Gal. 3:26-29).
All throughout the whole of scripture you will see that God shows no favoritism of race, ethnicity, traditions, cultures and nations. Understanding whose you are is understanding the temple of God is no longer a dwelling place on earth or in Jerusalem but within those who believe. The end of the age of sacrifice has been long gone for over 2000 years with the death of Jesus and the destruction of the temple, Jesus prophesied this in Matthew 24. From a biblical perspective Israel is not considered a nation by genealogy, but by faith.
Consider the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4:21-24, Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
God did not reject his inheritance, they rejected Him the one who was sent to atone for all sins, the Lamb of God. Matthew 23:37 ‘How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” Also Isaiah 5:3-5 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?
I call this divine vulnerability. What more could I have done to love you? Yet you still bear no fruits. Just like the fig tree and the useless yield of the vine, the cut off branches of a cultivated olive tree (Rom. 11:11-36), the lost sheep ( Ezek. 34:11-31; John 10:30) who would not hear his voice.
Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls—
Habakkuk 3:17 NKJV
The old was a shadow, a type to come, Jesus fulfills that shadow and became the anti-type. So to go back to old testament temple sacrifices and ceremonial laws would be trampling on the blood of Jesus the Christ. This is the true dispensation.
Now on the the other hand it makes no sense when they talk about end times and revelations, then all of a sudden that changes somehow and the church is suddenly raptured and God deals with his people Israel on separate terms during and after a seven year tribulation. This teaching is known as the dispensational eschatology, an early 19th century teaching adopted by the church ,for further understanding and history

Much more can be said about this and this is just my opinion from a biblical view. However, indoctrination is a dangerous thing, especially when you have the Kingdom of the cults that twist the scriptures to fit their rapture/left behind mentality. Let me make this clear, this is not denying the resurrection and the second coming of Jesus Christ. However this is denying the dispensational ideology of the rapture and the false understanding of who the church is apart from Israel (God’s chosen people). Understanding that we have the keys to the Kingdom is the first step in not only knowing who you are, but whose you are and why was this privilege was given to us, the Church (True Israel).

You're writing a popular heresy. The idea that the church has replaced Israel. It's often goes along with a hatred for the Jews.
Israel and the church are two separate entities. The promises that God made to Abraham are still in effect today. Just as there are prophecies about Israel and Jerusalem that are yet to be fulfilled. Not just Ezekiel 38 and 39 but these also:
(Zechariah 12:1-10 NIV) This is the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him, declares: {2} "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. {3} On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. {4} On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the LORD. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. {5} Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.' {6} "On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. {7} "The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. {8} On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. {9} On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. {10} "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
