I believe that in Judaism there is some traditions of interpretation which can justify the current situation. But it isn't a religion based on obedience as much as discussion so it isn't a matter of what is "said" as much as what is understood.

However much more relevant is the powerful and mainstream protestant Christian prophesies where the Rapture can be hastened by people taking certain steps, including having a jewish state in israel. (The jews, like most other people, will ultimately get horrifically exterminated during the Rapture, which is considered desirable to adherents.) Impatience for this Rapture is one of the reasons people and governments support Israel. American Christian groups provide way more funding and material support for Israel than jewish groups do.
