The covenant has nothing to do with God restoring them any time before they are saved and He does it. They are not restored today by any stretch of the imagination. They are a mostly secular nation whose big city is spiritually also called Sodom and Gomorrah that rejected God's Son. They are not holy and blessed right now. They are in such bad shape God has to allow them to go through a horrible time of Jacob's trouble. They are not restored in the last days, but at or near the end of that period of tribulation. Having experienced judgments of God (diasporas) does not mean that they are yet holy or saved or that God restored them.
No they are not restored. they are in process as the Word of God says. YOu demand it happen all at once.
