Let me begin this Wilderness Voice, which will undoubtedly prove to be controversial, with a caveat. I am not a premillennial dispensationalist, though I used to be, before I was constrained by the Holy Spirit to stop trying to make what the Bible says fit into my beliefs and to start making my beliefs fit into what the Bible says. Although I love my premillennial dispensationalist brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm absolutely convinced, by both the Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit, that they don't have a Biblical leg to stand on when it comes to their end-time theory. Granted, many premillennial dispensationalists have labeled me a heretic for leaving their camp, as though I've deserted Christian orthodoxy by doing so. Still, not a single one of them has ever been able to Scripturally refute my Biblically held beliefs about the end times and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I don't mean to imply by this that I'm infallible, when it comes to my end-time beliefs. Far from it, I've still got many unanswered questions and am more than willing to concede that I can be wrong. In fact, I welcome correction and will be grateful to anyone who can Biblically correct any mistaken end-time belief that I might have.
Now, having provided the above caveat to this Wilderness Voice, let me also, before continuing with it, offer a word of caution. The Jews in Jesus' day thought they had the coming of their Messiah all figured out. They believed, based on their interpretation of the law and the prophets, that they knew how He would come and what He would do once He came. However, when Christ failed to meet their preconceived ideas, they failed not only to recognize Christ as their Messiah, but also to realize that they were living in the time of His long awaited coming. It is my fear that the same thing is happening to many Christians today, because they believe, based on their interpretation of the Bible, that they have the Second Coming of Jesus Christ all figured out. Therefore, they are blinded by their preconceived ideas to all of the Biblical signs of the times suddenly appearing all around us. While they continue to look for their preconceived ideas to come to pass, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled, unbeknownst to them, right under their noses.
Having provided the above caveat and word of warning, I'll now proceed to today's important Wilderness Voice. I've been repeatedly asked in recent days why premillennialism dispensationalists are not suspicious that Donald Trump might be footing the bill for their long anticipated "antichrist"; after all, Trump has brokered a peace deal between Israel and Hamas that has supposedly accomplished the seemingly impossible; namely, brought peace to the Middle East. While I don't believe, as I've already stated, in premillennial dispensationalists' end-time theory, nor mean to suggest that Donald Trump is the premillennial dispensationalist "antichrist," my answer to all asking me this question has been the same. I've simply said that the reason this has raised no suspicion among premillennial dispensationalists is because most of them can't see beyond the bill of their MAGA cap.
While the above draws attention, because of the preconceived ideas possessed by today's prophecy pundits, most of whom are premillennialism dispensationalists, it distracts from an ominous and Scripturally predicted sign of the times occurring right before our very eyes, even within the MAGA Movement and between some MAGA Americans and evangelical premillennialism dispensationalists, as the accompanying article to this Wilderness Voice proves. Antisemitism is now growing on the Right, just as it is expeditiously on the Left, as well as throughout our whole world. Yet, the contemporary church and most modern-day Christians refuse to take their premillennial dispensationalist's blinders off and wake up to the fact that the “time of Jacob’s trouble,” which the Prophet Jeremiah predicted would proceed the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, is now upon us (Jeremiah 30:7).
According to the ancient Prophet Zechariah, only one third of the Jewish people will survive until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Zechariah 13:8-9). Interestingly, one third of our world's Jewish population was killed in the Holocaust, but two thirds will be killed in the perilous times of the last days (2 Timothy 3:1), which certainly explains why antisemitism is now growing expeditiously all over our fallen world. The "third" of the Jewish people who God will bring "through the fire" of end-time tribulation and unprecedented antisemitic persecution are, I believe, symbolized by the 144,000 sealed for their safety and preservation in Revelation 7:1-8. When Christ returns, Zechariah says they will ask Him, "What are these wounds in thine hands?" When He answers, "Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends," they will realize at long last that He is their Messiah, whom they rejected and crucified (Zechariah 13:6). According to Zechariah 12:10-12, when they "look upon Him whom they have pierced" God "will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications" and they will "mourn for [God's] only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn." The "great mourning in Jerusalem" on that day Zechariah says will be "as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon," when the righteous King Josiah was slain by Egypt's Pharaoh Neco. As the surviving Jewish remnant turns to Christ with broken hearts and with all of their hearts, Zechariah says "the Lord of hosts will remove the iniquity of that land in one day" and, as the Apostle Paul says, "all Israel shall be saved" (Zechariah 3:9; Romans 11:26). Afterward, it is my believe that this spared and saved Jewish remnant will enter as the subjects of the millennial kingdom of Christ, who, while reigning on the throne of David in Jerusalem for a thousand years, with His church as His co-regents (Revelation 20:4, 6), will fulfill every promise God ever made to Old Testament Israel.
