On the Road to Armageddon, a book written by Timothy P. Weber, looks at how evangelicals became Israel's best friends. What is the truth behind all of that? Has the evangelical world just gone absolutely mad? It's an important subject. And I wanted to give a source, an authoritative source for a lot of these beliefs and practices. William Miller calculated that Jesus was going to come in 1843, and this turned out to be what is called the Great Disappointment.

Another movement emerged in the 1870s of dispensation Islam, which actually originated four decades earlier in Great Britain with John Nelson Darby. The Dispensation holism movement started with the Scofield reference Bible and Dispensationalism. In that Bible, Jesus taught that without a Jewish state, there could be no Antichrist, no great tribulation, no battle of Armageddon, and no second coming.

This book explains what despondent dispensationalism is and why some evangelicals find it so appealing. John Nelson Darby divided the Bible into seven different eras or periods of time. At about the same time, Scofield was writing the notes in his Bible. Some people believe that it was actually financed by Jewish organizations because it promoted their point of view.

C.I. Scofield and Darby capitalized on this, and also Scofield, coupled with visions of a young woman in Glasgow, Scotland, by the name of Margaret MacDonnell, saw this vision of people flying away and being called away in the sky. There was a prophetic conference held in New York in 1878, and some of the biggest names in Christianity began to be influenced. The idea caught on so fast that it got into Sunday school literature, adult Sunday school classes, and unlearned Sunday school teachers picked up on this and taught it to others because it was easy to just read a Sunday school quarterly.

In the Evangelical dispensation, the future is when they run into the ditch. They have to have an Antichrist. Well, Hitler didn't work out. So look for someone else. Oh, some of them said it was FDR. Others said that the Antichrist was a Jew. So that was more or less the beginning of Zionism.

Different men in this country are promoting the idea of them going back over there to the so-called Holy Land. Before 1948, Christian missionaries began to go to Israel, or what is now known as Israel. The Evangelical Mission Project started here in this country in Chicago. They offered sewing classes, cooking classes, singing classes, anything by which they could present the gospel. Well, it didn't work out that way, did it?

One plan of salvation is for the Jews, and they do not need Jesus Christ. They don't need the blood of Christ for their salvation because they are saved under the old covenant of Moses.

For the rest of us non-Jews, we need Jesus Christ. That's Plan B. Clyde Lott, a Pentecostal cattleman from Canton, Mississippi, raised what he thought was a heifer. It did not have any white hairs on it. And they named it Melanie or Melody. And all of a sudden, a white hair ended up on her tail, so she was disqualified. Then the Jews said, "No, the red heifer has to be born over there."

Christians are falling for this foolish, downright stupid stuff. Revelation 21 - I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. The emphasis is on the new Jerusalem, not the old Jerusalem. One woman on television has gone so goofy that she was raising money to buy uniforms for the Israeli army. But I'm sure that some silly soul sent her some money.

This book gives an excellent overview of how the modern state of Israel came about, and I would recommend it to any person that is a serious Bible student and prophecy student to find this book and purchase it. This is my own personal copy, but I wanted to share this because it is the authoritative document to show and to give the truth about this whole Zionism movement and the evangelical involvement in it.
