I'm afraid you just don't understand the problem I speak of. It's one of language. Universalist language does *not* always refer to everything. You can use colloquial phrases like, "the whole world is on fire," and know for certain is doesn't refer to the entire globe. It may only be someone's backyard, or a reference to political squabbles in an international sense.
The Bible uses such universalist-type expressions for an empire or a specific Kingdom, with no intention of expressing the global or planetary sense. There are many, many examples of this.
To say "the elements will melt" indicates no universal sense at all--it could just be the elements nearby you. When combined with "the heavens," this sounds universal. But again, nobody thought, when they wrote the Scriptures, that they were writing to people with a degree in geography!
People understood "the earth" to be the land under their feet for any distance depending on context. If no sense of a globe is given in context, then "the heavens" cannot mean the "atmosphere around the whole planet." Rather, it refers to the skies overhead for a reasonable length of space--certainly not the entire universe!
Again, the Bible makes it plain that God created the universe not to destroy it, but to establish it forever. Insensibly that would mean God would have to start creating all over again, completely failing with His original blueprint!
The Bible does indicate, however, that God will render a "new creation," which in context indicates it will be a "makeover"--creating something along a new order, yet utilizing the original earth.
The universalist-type language expressing judgment on earth could apply to an empire or to the entire human race, depending on context. The eschatological context of the Bible indicates Messiah is coming to destroy the Antichristian Empire. Thus, this empire will see its heavens on fire and its land destroyed, along with its armies.
If the universe cannot be completely destroyed, then yes, Israel can be restored! The Scriptures say the earth is forever. Believe it.
You reinforce Point 6 on the other tread: Many testify that they are Premillennial because they take the Word of God literal, yet, when you put their theology to the test an opposite picture unfolds. Premillennialism spiritualizes the literal passages and literalizes the spiritual passages. Their hyper-literalistic approach to highly-figurative Revelation is a case-in-point. Their own hermeneutics actually forbids their beliefs. As Kim Riddlebarger says: “Their own hermeneutics will not bear the weight that is assigned to it … they cannot make good on their own stated hermeneutics”
