What do Dispensationalists say about Jews owning all of Israel?

I don't know why it is but when I'm working out I have certain strange epiphanies. I'm doing pushups in the gym today and think "Wait a minute the descendants from the tribe of Judah own a bunch of land that was not promised to them but to other tribes within Israel."

Now, for my own part, I don't really care but for those Dispensationalists who still think that the land is theirs and that we ought to support their claim based on their right to it from God it seems problematic. Both prior to and after the exile, the Northern tribes had pretty much all but disappeared but Judah did not take over their land. They remained in their portion allotted.

So now today, how do Dispensationalists deal with the idea that they own more than they "rate"? I mean it's one thing to claim that God has given the Jews the land allotted to Judah but another thing to say they inherit the whole thing.

Have any of you even heard of Dispy's dealing with this issue because it would seem that Arabs in those other territories allotted to other tribes would have a valid Scriptural case to present to a Dispy that the tribe of Judah have more land than inherited.

Thoughts?

Oh he is a leading authority in dispensational teaching. He seems like a good guy but besides Zola Levitt he is the most passionate dispensationalist I've ever heard!

One quite interesting, and certainly possible belief of Stone´s is that the wedding of the bride of Christ (the church) won't take place until the midway point of the tribulation. His logic behind this is that the two witnesses are symbolic of the wedding witnesses and are not available for the ceremony until after they are killed and resurrected. Interesting enough to be pursued further, but not enough documentation has surfaced, yet, to make this a plausible doctrinal fact.
Ya think?!:P

Gary DeMar did a piece on this a while back. It was pretty good (and humorous, unless you're a dispy).

Vernon McGee didn't think the ten tribes were lost, he thought they were all mixed in. He also didn't think they should be in the land yet. Hmmmm...

Interesting. It matters not if they were mixed in. When somebody lost their tribal identity or, through marraige, became part of another tribe, they didn't bring their inheritance with them so that doesn't really solve the problem.

He used to come on at 0530 every morning when I would be driving into the Gym to work out at Quantico years ago. I confess, in my flesh, that the man's voice was very hard to listen to and I would change the radio station every time I heard the theme music to his Through the Bible program.

I love this in his bio:

Quote:
Perry´s world travels and his personal contacts with divers government and military personalities has given him a direct link to "śinsider information"ť as it relates to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Dispies always seem to need access to "insider information" to validate their theories.

Can anyone interpret his scholastic achievements?

Quote:
... later earned a B.A. in Theology from Covenant Life Christian College. Perry also holds the rank of an ordained bishop with the Church of God, (Cleveland, Tennessee). In 2001, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws and Letters (LL.D) from the Wesley Synod.
