NT eschatology is about the dilemma that faced Israel in the 1st century; if it did not help evangelize the world, it's leaders would fight and lose a war that would ruin the country; they did.
So NT eschatology is not anti-semitic; but it is anti-Judaic-eschatology. Instead modern nations are free to pursue their rights as any others. I have no idea at what point in recent times the ownership of things is settled; there are probably a hundred similar disputes around the world, and many different situations have been worked out, or failed to do so.
If you as a believer find yourself short on 'proof' for the NT, you should study the very dialed-in remarks by Jesus in Luke (more than all the other Gospels) about what was to take place in that generation, concluding the 'humiliating disinheriting' of Acts 3. The attorney general of England in 1805 once said that conclusive proof of the prediction and destruction of Jerusalem was stronger than the resurrection of Christ as a proof of his divinity/Godhead.
Prophecy 'experts' often spend a whopping 1 year studying the topic (and not even basic language terms) only to produce a book like 10,000 others that claims to have the real answers about prophecy. they have been doing this for over 100 years. It is tiresome.
