Contrary to the position of the many "I stand with Israel" posters coming from Christians among my friends list, I do not stand with physical Israel. This is the physical Israel that is currently being occupied by people who call themselves Jews or Israelites, and they are mostly those that came to the middle-east after the holocaust in WW2.
The foundation of Christian Zionism (American Christianity) is in the theology of dispensationalism, an approach to biblical interpretation that emerged in 19th century England, largely through the efforts of Anglican ministers Louis Way and John Nelson Darby. Most modern-day churches teach that this is the Israel that the bible has prophesied that God will gather them back and make a nation out of it. This came from the futuristic or dispensational doctrine created by John Darby and CI Scofield for the Zionists.
Darby's doctrine had a strong influence on CI Scofield, a self-proclaimed expert, publicized by the Illuminati to promote Christian Zionism for the Rothschilds. His doctrine made it a necessity for a future nation of Israel, and a futuristic tribulation preceded by a rapture of the gentile church so that natural Israel can be the focus to God.
Dispensationalism asserts that the world will experience a period of worsening tribulations until the Messiah comes. Darby had added several unique features to Way’s teachings, which include the doctrine of “pre-tribulation rapture” whereby the gentile church would be literally removed from history and transferred to heaven prior to Jesus’ return.
Since then, churches all over the world have been swarmed by the "pre-tribulation rapture" theory. It doesn't matter if these churches were the left-wing charismatic or Pentecostal churches, or the right-wing IFB or Presbyterian churches, they all embrace dispensationalism as their "light" (2 Corinthians 11:14) and framework for interpreting scripture. While these churches may appear to be at odds one with another, they actually belong to the same bird.
Dispensationalists also believe that Christ’s return was foretold in Old and New Testament prophecies, but they insist that the return of Jews to Palestine is a key event in the preordained process that will lead to the Second Coming. They believe that the Second Coming of Christ is a separate event from the rapture of the gentile church, and that the rapture must happen at the onset of the 7 years tribulation.
At the end of the "Great Tribulation" would be the Second Coming of Christ, and that would mark the beginning of the "dispensation of the Kingdom" whereby God would establish a Jewish kingdom on earth according to the Davidic covenant, and that the Jews would rule the earth as king-priests (gods) for a thousand years.
"Forty-one years later, the political state of Israel came into existence. "Without the Scofield Bible, it never would have happened…" ~ Torell
The birth of modern day Israel was no coincidence. Before the conception of dispensationalism, there was no modern-day Israel. When dispensationalism was first formalised in the late 1800s, modern Israel has yet to become a nation. It was during the next several tumultuous decades between the introduction of dispensationalism and the birth of modern Israel as a nation that the whole world had undergone tremendous upheavals.
Two world wars were fought in a span of 30+ years or so, and those two world wars did not happen by chance. They were designed for a purpose. The holocaust which took place in WW2 provided the impetus for a modern nation of Israel in 1947, and that was in the plan of the Illuminati.
No doubt some very powerful people are playing God, working to bring the prophecies in the Bible to pass according to the dispensational doctrine. The "7 years tribulation" as prophesied in the dispensational theory would be to bring about disorder and confusion to the whole world, and out of this chaos shall birth a new king and a "New World Order".
Of course, this new king is not the Lord Jesus Christ, but the “man of sin” prophesied in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4. The Bible tells us in this passage that he shall “as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Paul tells us that our body is the temple of God in 1 Corinthians 3:17 and other verses, and so if our body is the temple of God, then it means that the man of sin must somehow be embedded in us through modern technology. John tells us in this verse:
Revelation 13:16 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"
That would be the mark of the beast that the False Prophet would cause every man and woman, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive in their right hand or in their foreheads, without which no man might buy or sell. This would happen right before the "dispensation of the Kingdom" as prophesied, during the “7 years tribulation,” afterwhich God shall restore the earthly kingdom of Israel to the Jews according to the Davidic covenant, and this dispensation would last a thousand years.
The “dispensation of the Kingdom” would last a thousand years, which means that the super race would rule the earth for a thousand years. That would be the 4th Reich, a continuation of the 3rd Reich (also known as the “Thousand Year Reich”) whereby the Nazis were poised to succeed the earlier Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and the German Empire (1871–1918).
Spot on Max, your articles are always a breath of fresh air. I’ll be discussing this as well for my article next week, there is so much confusion in the Body of Christ on this topic, and we can thank the Masonic conman Cyrus Scofield for the lion’s share of it.
Truly, it is hard to think of a more damaging doctrine within Church history than Dispensationalism. So much error and confusion has flowed downstream of this fetid tributary.
You're so right that Christian zionism gives 'Israel' a free pass for every atrocity they satanically commit. You said - 'Most modern-day churches teach that this is the Israel that the bible has prophesied that God will gather them back and make a nation out of it. This came from the 'dispensational doctrine' created by Darby and Scofield for the Zionists.' Well, yes and no. Unfortunately yes, many churches see the current 'nation' of 'Israel' as if it were that gathered by God and put in the land. But in fact, the British (the most evil nation on earth) put 'them' in the land. Not God. Yes. But they are basing the 'installation' of Israel in the land - on Scriptures that say God WILL restore Israel to the land. The hireling ministers are NOT interpreting the prophesy correctly; they're applying it to people who are NOT His. Though Jehovah still has a people called Israel. (as Paul pointed out in Romans 11). Though they're still scattered. They won't be gathered, till GOD gathers them.
Then, that the people waging war right now, are NOT the Israel of God, is clear because the Scripture says when HE gathers them, 'they will live in peace and safety'. This fiendish government of the false Israel, is explained in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. They are satanic, and their actions belie the fact.
I've been protected from some of the heresies, since I no longer go to 'church', (I 'heard' enough twisting of Scripture years ago) but I have not heard it taught that the Jews would be in charge during the 1000 year millennium rest. The Scriptures say the Lord himself will reign along with those who were martyred during the Great Tribulation; (Revelation 20: 4 &I 6)
Do you disagree with a "7 years tribulation"? I'm having a bit of difficulty disciphering what you are quoting as false, from what you are claiming as true in your last paragraphs.
Last point/question. (I don't know Darby or Scoffield,.. don't read their Bibles,) The King James Bible uses the word 'dispensation' where the Greek word 'Oikonomia' is used; Though Oikonomia refers to an 'administration', As Paul put it, 'a 'stewardship given to him', in order to carry out his mission. I think the best translation puts it as a 'stewardship'.
Some refer to 'dispensations' however, as in 'time frames in the Bible. Though I think the word is being misapplied, time frames in Scripture are very clearly delineated, even if they're not named. These include the period before the law was given, the period of the law, the period of grace that began simultaneous to the birth of the church, (which is no longer under the law), and the soon to come 'millennium rest'. Do you not see these 'periods of time' in Scripture?
(One of the most interesting truths about this 'Age of Grace' that we now live in, is that it is simultaneous with the 'Hour of Darkness', that began when Christ was arrested. I plan to write about that soon..)
The question to you, is, what is it about 'dispensations' do you object to?
I find your writings very interesting, and wish to make sure I understand what you are saying.
Godspeed, Victoria
