Isn't that what you may be doing? Are you not accepting and internalizing somebody else' interpretation of the bible and justifying your position with a circular argument. There are dozens of prophetic statements in the bible that speaks to prophets in the latter days, to a re-birth of Israel thru and by the hand of the gentiles, to the building of the Lord's House atop of the mountains; a Temple and for ALL God's children (Jew and Gentile) to receive therein a new covenant, a hand and a name better than of the original sons and daughters.
Now, you can rationalize how that does not ring true to you. It is only because you chose to deny the possibility and ignore the prophesies. Because you will not accept that God can speak again and reveal to His servants His will. And that my friend is truly your choice.
