The prophecies speak to us in different ways. In the book of Daniel, for example, the imperial lineage of the present day Anglo-American power is laid out in symbols. At other times, though, the prophets speak to us by establishing patterns. For example, after referring to Sodom and Gomorrah and Noahs Flood, Peter said of such events in the past: "Setting a pattern for ungodly persons of things to come." So, what we have in Ezekiel is a pattern of how Jehovah is able to redeem and restore his people to their rightful place. In the case of Christians we are not talking about a physical place of residence but a spiritual inheritance. Just as the Jews had their Promised Land, spiritual Jews have a spiritual paradise that God has promised them.
I love how the WTS does this with their "modern day fulfillments" of prophesies, the types and anti-types, etc. All of this is mere conjecture. Yes, it fills Watchtower pages and makes the JW's look Biblical, but you can't take it anymore seriously than to say that the Society is trying to draw parallels. Their use of this tactic to validate themselves is laughable.
