Thanks for asking this excellent, vital, question, so widely answered poorly and unbiblically by vast numbers of well meaning but misled Christians.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Modern Israel is just one more wicked nation-state among hundreds. All are fiefdoms of satan, intent on killing, stealing, and destroying in order to achieve their evil ends.

The ersatz "rulers" (i.e., tyrants) of every one of these abominable centralized entities believe themselves to be gods, presuming they and their minions have a magically acquired right to command their fellow man, appropriating and living high on the hog off of his property and the fruit of his labor.

Jesus/God--by virtue of the fact he CREATED us--is the ONLY human with a legitimate RIGHT to control us, and yet he graciously grants us freedom to live and act voluntarily in every good and beneficial way according to our individual desires.

Jesus is advancing his Kingdom by gradually drawing individuals OUT OF their futile devotion to nation-states, with their antichrist (substitute king) tyrants, and INTO the peaceful Kingdom of the Heavens.

Jesus' Kingdom is a distributed nation, a city-state ORGANISM (Jesus' body), a universal community comprising 100% voluntary, self-governing, decentralized, non-heirarchical local communities of followers of HIS way who each report to HIM as their only central source of authority.

Scripture teaches that Jesus is presently in the process of destroying all competing political entities; in most cases, they atrophy and self-destruct--Jesus' eternal Kingdom growing and replacing their coercive functions with superior, beneficial functions--while in some cases, Jesus literally dismantles or pulverizes them.

You'll find these assertions fleshed out and biblically supported in the collection of articles below:
