American evangelicals are dispensationalists, an offshoot of orthodox Christianity invented in the early 1800’s by John Nelson Darby. It emphasizes a literal interpretation of Scripture, never mind that the canon includes disparate genres of literature: poetry, apocalyptic, allegorical, historical, epistles and even erotica (Song of Solomon) and includes fables, parables and myths that were not meant to be taken literally.

Dispensationalism maintains a distinction between Israel and the Church, and adherents believe that the creation of the modern Zionist state of Israel in 1948 is the ultimate fulfillment of prophecy. America First evangelicals put the interests of Israel ahead of America’s and they blindly support Israel, although the rogue nation is guilty of genocide and colonialism in Palestine, and their Prime Minister is an indicted criminal.

Dispensationalism was tailor-made for American evangelicals, the prime elements (the Tribulation, the Rapture, the Antichrist and Armageddon appeal to Americans love of theatrics, spectacle, and epic scenes of violence.

Evangelicals nurtured by Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth and Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind and weaponized by their Orange Messiah political triumph are on the verge of climax by the bombing of Iran by the USA.

Evangelicals are not praying for diplomacy to prevail in the Middle East; they are cheering on the wanton violence and genocide. They believe that this orgy of violence is hastening the Rapture of the Church.

In their wet dreams evangelicals see themselves floating in the air to meet Jesus in the Rapture, but if the Prince of Peace does return, they will mistake him for the Antichrist and crucify Him.
