So you have made an arbitrary decision that most, if not all, Bible prophecy has no relevance to us Christians. Its all about that tiny nation that currently occupies a small part of the holy Land.
That this idea is totally erroneous is proved by how 'Israel', who are now the righteous faithful people of God, all born again Christians; are the people who have become as many as the sands of the sea.
The Promises of God to His people apply to those who love Him and keep His Laws. NOT to any other people, however much they and you think they might.
Of course we all know why you must promote the redemption of Jewish Israel. The whole 'rapture to heaven' construct falls apart without that doctrine. Sadly for you, the Bible prophets are quite clear: only a remnant of Judah will survive. Isaiah 22:14, Jeremiah 12:14, Ezekiel 21:4, Zechariah 13:8-9, Matthew 21:41-43, Romans 9:27
You win the cigar for sliding in with the production of opinionated fiction. Take the following as a case and point, and firld a Scripturally based argument proving any part of it is false, to prove your position about it:
Scriptural proof for the pre-trib rapture of the Church
The Scriptures are crystal clear where Jesus will meet His Church, in 1 Thess.4:17: "After that, we who are still alive and are left, WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER with them in the clouds TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. And so we will be with the Lord forever." In the FIRST of His TWO comings, recorded in 1 Thess.4:16, yet to take place, confirming Jn.14:2-3, 28! From where the Church is seen in heaven BEFORE the tribulation begins, in Rev.4:1-2. Where Jesus used John to symbolically represent the Church. Confirming 2 Thess.2:3 and 7-8! Where the Church is seen in heaven later, at the marriage of the Bride/Church to the Lamb/Jesus. While the tribulation is taking place on earth, recorded in Rev.19:7-8. From where Jesus will return to the earth in the SECOND, of His TWO comings, yet to take place, WITH HIS CHURCH, riding white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, in His armies from heaven, recorded in 19:14, confirming Zech.14:4-5 and Acts 1:6; 1:11; 2:29-30 and 15:16! From which the above Scriptures leave no other options!
The difference between the pre-trib rapture of the Church, as delineated above, and the SECOND coming of Jesus are the following facts:
1. Jesus returns to the earth in His second coming, recorded in Zech.14:4-5 and in Acts 1:11.
2. No one meets Jesus in the sky when He returns in His second coming, recorded in Rev.19:14, as they will when He returns for the first time, recorded in 1 Thess.4:16!.
3. Jesus will return from the marriage of the Bride/Church to the Lamb/Jesus, in heaven, in His second coming, to the earth, WITH His Church, recorded in Rev.19:14, He came for in His first coming, in the clouds of the sky, seven years before, recorded in Jn.14:2-3, 28, 1 Thess.4:16-17 and 2 Thess.2:3 and 7-8.
4. No one returns to the present heaven at Jesus second coming to the earth, because He has come to establish His 1,000 year reign on the throne of David, in the restored kingdom of Israel, as recorded in Acts 1:6; 2:29-30; 15:16; Zech.6:12-13 described in Ez.40-47 and Rev.20:6. In addition to the present heaven and earth being destroyed and will pass away, as recorded in 2 Pet.3:7 and in Rev.21:1.
