Answ. 1. In respect of the place which the Israelites shall again possess, viz. the Land promised unto their Father Abraham. Some (k)that have believed and asserted a general conversion of the Jews, yet have doubted whether they should ever again possess the Land of their fathers; But the Scripture is very clear and full for this, that I see not how it can justly be denied or questioned. See Isa. 61.4. Jer. 30.3. Ezek. 36.33, 34, 35. And Zech. 12.6. "Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem, which must not be restrained unto the return from the Babylonian captivity, for it must be in that great day (even the time of Messiah) spoken of verse 3, 4, 8, 11. Besides, in the former Chapter, the crucifying of Christ, and the rejection of the Jewish Nation was prophesied of. Now after this must Jerusalem be inhabited again. Consider also Chap. 14. verse 9, 10, 11. where you will find, that when the time cometh (which is surely yet to come) that there shall be one Lord, and his name one; Jerusalem shall be again inhabited.
