Fundamentalism's Bloody Homeland for Jews
I have previously written about this highly embarrassing, and therefore actively covered up, aspect of modern fundamentalism, namely, the movement's substitution of Jews for Christians as the victims of a supposedly future (but actually past) "Great Tribulation." Fundamentalists actively support the State of Israel, despite their belief that by doing so, they are helping to lure millions of Jews into a horrible death: "Holocaust II." They do so for a reason: they expect to escape death personally. This is a powerful incentive.

"The Great Tribulation" is the phrase used by fundamentalists to describe a future time of persecution and slaughter of the Jews. By "fundamentalists," I mean defenders of the theological system, first proclaimed around 1830, known as premillennial dispensationalism. This is a late variant of Christian eschatology, i.e., the theological doctrine of the last things or last times. There are three basic views: premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. (On this subject, see my article, "Millennialism and the Progressive Movement," published in The Journal of Libertarian Studies [Spring 1996]). ...

...If Jews do not return to the State of Israel, to be concentrated inside its borders, then the prophecy of a final Great Tribulation, where Jerusalem is surrounded by its enemies, cannot be fulfilled. Three and a half years before this Great Tribulation, all Christians get cosmic R&R: their final escape from history and all of its crushing responsibilities, which dispensationalists have prayed for and dreamed about since 1830.

This is why they support the Zionist movement. The Zionists have made the dispensationalists' interpretation of the Great Tribulation prophecy appear tenable. Zionists have created a nation-state for Jews in Palestine. This has led to the reversal of the Jews' diaspora after 135 AD, the year Bar Kochba's revolt was crushed by Rome. The world's Jews, except for a few million in the United States, are being be lured back into the prophetic trap. Without this trap, the fulfillment of the church's R&R would have to be postponed, perhaps for centuries, until Jews can finally be lured back in. Without the slaughter of the Jews, Christians cannot get out of life alive....
