RE: Billboard calling church 'fake news' causes stir

But God doesn't want us to be focused on geographical places, earthly rulers, or spiritual entities. He only wants us focused on Him, and doing good to others.
He couldn't care less about a territory now called Israel, or what "time" it is. The truth is that we've been in "the end times" since Christ was born a man. There isn't any other "end times". First century humans were in them, and humans today are still in them.
And God again, couldn't care less about a territory now called Israel (or, the USA). BUT, He does care with love beyond comprehensive for the souls of all mankind, regardless of "where" they now physically reside.
There is a reason your aren't quoting any scriptures here and its because you are arguing something that is 180 degrees opposite of what the bible says on Israel, prophecy and following Christ.
You are trying to present a false choice of focusing on following Christ vs understanding what the bible teaches on Israel, the church and what Christ and the prophets told us about them. Its not a matter of choosing one over the other. Over 1/3rd of the bible is prophecy alone, and studying Israel, the Church, Christ, Salvation and prophecy are all key parts of studying the bible.
The bible itself tells us over and over and over and over again to heed the Prophets, and study the ancient times and things so that we will be wise and understand the Word, including the times we live in.
2 Peter 1:19
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts
2 Peter 3:2
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
