Have Premillennial Dispensationalists become discontent with simply watching the prophetic events unfold around them, and decided to help try speed up God’s timetable? In a well-written article entitled “On the Road to Armageddon“, Timothy Weber discusses how much of America’s foreign policy is actually based on the false views of Dispensational Theology. The online article is excerpted from the author’s book by the same title.

Whether or not George Bush and the rest of his administration accept the tenents of Dispensationalism, it’s no surprise that the Dispensational Christians in America have a strong approval for the United States’ pro-Israel policies, and rather confused at the less one-sided of other countries around the world. Pat Robertson has named himself a “Christian Zionist” and expects that all Bible-believing Christians should think the same.

For the dispensational community, the future is determined. The Bible’s prophecies are being fulfilled with amazing accuracy and rapidity. They do not believe the road map will – or should – succeed. According to the prophetic texts, partitioning is not in Israel’s future, even if the creation of a Palestinian state is the best chance for peace in the region. Peace is nowhere prophesied for the Middle East until Jesus comes and brings it himself. The worst thing the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations can do is force Israel to give up land for a peace that will never materialize this side of the second coming. Anyone who pushes for peace in such a manner is ignoring or defying God’s plan for the end of the age.

Thankfully, a more Biblical voice still exists among evangelical Christians, as learned men are willing to sign their name to a document contradicting the “pro-Israel – right or wrong” doctrine of modern Dispensationalism. I pray that Christians will soon see that Zionism is not in the Bible, and that the nation of Israel has no prophetic future.
