To: The Theophilus
... and why are you pinging me to this? It sounds rather disproportionately angry.

There are those who believe in this manner and there are those who do not. You apparently do not. Me, I'd say I'm not entirely opposed to some things likely qualified as "dispensationalist" but not all. I do support the modern state of Israel, not only for reasons of faith but for conservative geopolitical reasons.

Others don't, but I'm certainly not going to fly completely off the handle about it. People are entitled to their views; you are, and so is this author who's seemingly put a bee in your bonnet by looking for indications of prophecy being fulfilled in current events.

I don't believe the so-called rapture will occur prior to the Tribulation, but that it will occurs sometime during the course of it, which is a conclusion drawn from an earnest, personal study of the Bible. After the fact, I've found my views to largely coincide with most early Church "fathers."

Finally, I've got to say that this is rather disturbing:

Why are there more Jews with American passports than with Israeli? Where is our blessing!! And why was the US winning wars and growing mightily in wealth and land prior to 1948, but since then we have been falling apart and can't even win a war anywhere?

This in my opinion teeters on anti-Semitic. It strikes me that you might need to reconsider the implication of making such statements.
