Just because someone hasn't been to the Ekka yet doesn't mean the Ekka hasn't opened yet. It just means he didn't know it was open, or didn't wish to go.
So instead of waiting for the Ekka to open, we should hope he realises the Ekka is open, or that he'll change his mind and go.
And if you see him going to the Ekka, it doesn't mean the Ekka only just opened on the day he went.
Similary, if we see modern Israel prospering, it doesn't mean Bible Prophecy is only now being fulfilled. The Bible prophecies of blessing to Israel were fulfilled long ago - it's just that Israel didn't always receive it or maintain it.
Just because your tyres are flat doesn't mean I didn't give you a bike with ready-pumped tyres. It just means you let them go flat.
And if you pump them up again, it doesn't mean I'd decided to keep your tyres flat until now. It just means you decided to get functioning again.
Not waiting for the Ekka to open - not waiting for Him to pump up the tyres again; but needing to realise the Ekka is open - needing to get functioning again - that's where modern Israel is poised now.
Not waiting for prophecy to be fulfilled, but realising it has been and walking in what's available!
This doesn't only apply to their spiritual realisations - but also to their physical status in the land.
Their return to the land in modern times was not so much a fulfilment of a specific Bible prophecy, as it was a case of Israel walking in what was always potentially already theirs by virtue of previously fulfilled prophecy.
