I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel,
And they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them;
and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them.
They shall also make gardens,
And eat the fruit of them.
I will plant them on their land,
And they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,”
says Yahweh your God.

Dispensationalists argue that because the Jews were plucked up out of their land in 70 A.D., this passage must reference a later return to the land, such as the return in 1948. What is the preterist interpretation of this passage? It wouldn't make much sense to say that the Church gets Israel's old land.

I suppose they will all be vegetarian winos too.
