Apocolyptic exegesis

Submitted by Rob (United States), Sep 2, 2006 at 01:58

For those of you who consider Christian eschatology a sufficient reason to reject Christian support of Israel, you need to take into account that Christian theology does not grant a large portion of the world's population the same sparing as Israel. Critics of Dispensationalism take Israel's role right out of the whole scheme of tribulation as if it were somehow alone in facing tribulation.

Judaism and Islam both share the view of eventual world conversion whether peaceful as in the case of Judaism, or violent in the case of Islam. In either case, the world doesn't continue in idolatrous worship. Christianity is not alone here.
