All kingdoms including David's involved the work of man, but God ordained.
I suppose the words "God ordained" is just fancy for "Gold told them to".. right?
How do you know this to be true?
Saudi Arabians believed they were acting in the name of Allah when they flew two planes into the WTC.. right?
George Bush firmly believed he was acting in the name of God when he invaded Iraq.. right?
Which in these decisions (if any) were "ordained by God"? Or is it more likely they simply used "the word of God" as a
reason to act?
I suggest the latter. It happens all the time.

It was by the providence of God that Israel became a nation, the messianic nation, after all of those centuries of global dispersion (miraculous/divine).
No, it was not by the providence of God, it was by the providence of the UN. They decided that the Jews should be given their homeland after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and it was done so out of their sentimental/emotional (or dare I say
religious) attachment to the geographic location. i.e - it was MAN who invoked your interpretation of the prophecy, not God. If God magically teleported all the Jews to the same location,
thenI would wholeheartedly believe what you have to say. But that did not happen.

It's all happening as prophesied and it all corroborates with many other prophecies relative to the end of the Gentile era, i.e latter days.
And when will that be exactly?
You don't know do you.
You will *not* give me a date will you. Ever.
It's like me saying:
"I prophecise that one day the world will end."
It's going to come true isn't it...?
If you want to prove your point, and predict with accuracy, you must specify a date, and the event must not be able to be acted out by man - don't you agree?
