Why? The issue was whether dispensationalism envisions God's warth being poured out upon millions of people living in Israel during the futurist "great tribulation". It plainly does as the comments by Walvoord and LaHaye demonstrate.

God's warth upon those living in Israel (as well as the rest of the world btw) during the tribulation period is very clearly evident from scriptures - both OT and NT.

The real question is what part(s) of the Bible do you really believe, or is God lying here in Zech 13.

Not at all. I just don't believe the dispensationalist interpretation that it is speaking of a future generation of Jewish people who will suffer God's wrath for no biblical reason.

You see, dispensationalism forces it hermeneutical approach on the text regardless of what the rest of the Bible may say on the subject. When people disagree and point out the inconsistencies with that approach, the dispensationalists fall back on their standard one liners.

Why will God pour His wrath out upon the millions that dispensationalists envision are killed without Christ during the future "great tribulation"? What does the text actually say to support that view?
