Today, no less than in Paul's time, our comfort rests in the solid assurance that even now as the night progresses the day is near (Rom. 13:13). We already have "the earnest of the enjoyment of our allotment" so we are to confidently await the "deliverance of that which has been procured" (Eph. 1:14). Our hope and destiny are in no way contingent on the fulfilment of Hebrew prophecy for Israel. Our blessings are found primarily in Paul's revelations for this present secret economy. While we are to walk by faith and not by perception, this after all is the highest quality of faith consistent with the highest plane of spiritual blessings among the celestials in Christ.
