Thank-you for making this point 2EyesOpen on the origins of dispensationalism. Modern dispensationalism or rapture eschatology has mislead many Christians to believe that they will not have to endure the time of the tribulation or Jacob's trouble. The rapture theory claims that the elect would be taken away before the Great Tribulation, when in actuality they are taken up AFTER the tribulation.

Matthew 24:29 to 31 makes that very clear beginning with 24:29 "Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not giver her light and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken: 30- Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Adam in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Adam coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (please note that the original Greek codex of the New Testament always names Jesus Christ or Yahshua as the Son of Adam NOT the Son of man. Adam was intentionally changed in the English and other language translations to generalize inclusivity. The fact remains however, that the Greek words used for our Redeemer throughout the New Testament was always Son of Adam, NEVER Son of man.) Verse 31 finally tells us that, "And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet (7th trump) and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." It is quite clear here that the elect are not raptured or taken away until the great tribulation has ended. That is why Revelation 7:14 in reference to the elect tells us that "These are they that came out of the great tribulation," Verse 31 continues on with the parable of the fig tree.

As for Christians believing that they must support the State of Israel, its important to never forget that there is a group of people on this planet whom claim to be descendants of the House of Judah that have deceived many. They have the mark and vengeance of Cain. Christians must discern who is true Jacob/Israel. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 gives us a hint as to whom is claiming that they are Judah. The tares must be left to grow among the wheat until the appointed time. Remember John 8:44.
