1. Israel is seen as the center point of the earth.

  2. Israel is like an umbilical cord or ladder which connects between the upper and lower spiritual levels, because all the sustenance to the whole world flows through the Gateway of heaven above the Temple Mount through the Land of Israel to the 70 angels of each of the 70 nations.

  3. Israel is the center point of sustenance for the 70 nations. [For a list of 70 nations see Bereshis/Genesis 10-11.] 

  4. Levels of sustenance in times of destruction (exile) vs. times of Ingathering of Exiles and Redemption:

When the Jewish people are in the state of destruction then a much of the sustenance that should stay in the Land of Israel is given to foreign angels that rule over the respective countries where most of the Jewish people live. 

Part of the Land is desolate and under foreign rule. This is another aspect of lack of sustenance in the Land of Israel.
