I would add Deu 30:1-10 and Zech 14 to the list. The Deuteronomy passage is important because it does not come in the usual prophetic trappings and can be consider in its plain text reading. It promises a future place in Israel for the Jews, who have indeed been scattered among all the peoples. The Zechariah 14 passage is critical because I cannot reconcile that battle and its associated military-like intervention with the events of 70AD, and yet you still have the imagery of Jerusalem being surrounded.

I am not defending dispensationalism here, but I am claiming that several promises to the physical descendants of Abraham must be factored into our studies.
