the eschatological (end times theology) view you are referring to is called Premillenialism. It's a cuck view created by dispensationalists in the 1800s. Dispensationalism is a view that the bible is totally literal with no nuance, it is also from the 1800s. They both have roots in the sufferage and prohibition movement. Premillenialism is probably best known by the fiction series "Left Behind". It is probably the dominate view in the USA, but beyond the USA it is a minority view and is also a minority view historically. it's been used extensively by politicians and politically-inclined pastors to drum up fear and money.
the other main views are postmillennialism, which believes that the world will get better and better until Christ returns and amillennialism, which believes that the Millenium is now and that Christ already returned in 70 AD when the Temple was destroyed.
Only in dispensationalism does modern day Israel have a purpose. Dispensationalism is particularly disgusting because it basically gives modern day Jews an out, so that they do not have to be evangelized to.
