Don’t tell that to dispensation zealots here
I simply did not grow up with this notion in my 1960s Southern Baptist church
We wished best for the Jews (with questions about their historical behavior and treatment )but nobody spoke all this stuff you see here
First time I heard Hagee rail on I was like when did this start
When the Klan mid 60s bombed Beth Israel temple because they associated local mostly Dixiecrat Jews (like most southerners then) with Jewish freedom riders from oberlin etc it caused friction and violence
Anyhow my church took the Jews in to use our sanctuary for services till Beth Israel could be repaired
It was just the right thing there was none of unusual stuff I see now
The big irony I suppose is leftist Jews are no question extremely influential in the attempted takedown of western civilization
Soros and Wyss are right now funding the instantly mobilized shock troops out on campi and streets with anti semitism and anti Israel violence
Yet who do liberal Jews lean on to push back
Why the very people who’s civilization their more radical brethren are working to dismantle
And I’m very much in that club
So am I stupid or just know right from wrong when I see it?
Jews have to make a decision
Israelis and I know Israel from business and life long Israeli pals already know who they can count on here
But domestic lefty Jews have to determine over two fears
Jew hating jihadis
Or the fear right leaning Christian people and culture is not a potential pogrom or final solution every time and needs protecting
Their fear of Christianity is not unfounded
Pogroms were worse than Hamas and the final solution was of course despite hyperbole here
But they have to stop this crap honestly you simply can’t help but notice it
Zionism took root in British Palestine and before than ottoman administerd rather than Europe due to bitter memories
Why don’t we get a homeland ?
Ours is under steady attack for bringing civilization to this planet
Israel also needs to get their babes breeding too btw
They are at risk over that

You needed to be in SoCal where Chuck Smith and Calvary Chapel were taking off. You’d have been saturated with it. Chuck and Hal Lindsey were big factors in popularizing Dispensationalism with its Israel focused End Times eschatology.
Chuck Smith often mentioned his close connection with big players in the Israeli government and military.
Dispensationalism has its own paradigm for interpreting the Bible that has its followers heavily invested in what happens to the modern state of Israel.
