The danger to Jewish people living in Israel is so much greater than the danger of living in the US that I cannot imagine why you would post such a thing.

Dispensationalist dimwits adhere to an eschatological view in which the great bulk, if not the entirety, of the world's Jewry will relocate to the nation-state of Israel, only for fully two-thirds of them to be killed by the Antichrist during a (fictional) seven year "tribulation" period. At which point, Jesus is said to return, and then those Jews still alive will, collectively, all come to faith in Christ. By some manner of means, I guess. Being "God's chosen people," they finally catch a break.

Which means, I suppose, that if Jesus returns, say, at high noon on a given day, any Jews (those who are not in Christ, that is) who just happened to have been killed by the Antichrist at, say, 11:00 a.m. that morning are out of luck or something. Into the Lake of Fire with them. But those who do manage to hang on until noon, well, I guess they're good to go. Apparently, that's what the Bible is said to clearly teach. The ol' Scofield Reference Bible, anyway. With all those notes helpfully supplied by a noted Bible scholar who began his career as a crooked lawyer.

I'm thinking that that's probably why this guy posted what he did.
