Seminar on Israel
From 1998 to 2000, I myself was fully engrossed in the “End Times” literature of prominent authors like Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, and the C.I. Scofield Reference Bible. These books and Bible were widely accepted in the Brethren Community where I was raised, and I embraced their teachings (Dispensational Theology) without critically examining them or comparing them to Scripture and other scholarly resources.
Over time, I came to realize that these books are filled with sensationalism and are often designed to evoke fear, manipulating Christians and contributing to real-world consequences for the people of the Middle East.
This is reminiscent of how certain interpretations of scripture have been distorted to justify occupation, oppression, and injustice in Israel/Palestine—an interpretation that stands in stark contrast to the messages of the Hebrew prophets and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Like many others, I was initially unaware and blindly supportive of Israel until my perspective shifted and eyes opened.
The seven Bible questions presented here offer an opportunity to explore what Scripture truly says about the end times. These insights can guide you toward constructive, Christ-like responses to injustice, fostering understanding rather than exacerbating conflict and overlooking the suffering on both sides.
