I had a nice conversation with Derek Gilbert about the book I am currently writing with Tom Horn about how ISIS, Pope Francis, USA and Russia are paving the way to Armageddon. I promise to be intellectually honest about my speculations as opposed to VERIFIED facts but am making effort to use those facts to support a particular reading of biblical prophecy -not newspaper exegesis as much as revealing how recent history seems to be pulling us toward what premillennial futurism has been saying for a century. The regathering of ethnic Jews, entailing s two stage regathering (first in unbelief ongoing since 1948 and before) followed by a, soon to come, national repentance and belief in Jesus as Messiah as according to the Hebrew prophet Zechariah (Zech 12:10) and Jewish convert Paul – who encountered the resurrected Lord (1 Cor 15:8) and preached the Gospel he first received (1 Cor 15:3). I always enjoy talking with Derek because he so well informed.

Hey Cris – I was waffling on going to the Strategic Perspectives conference this week but when I saw your name on the list, I decided I would try to go. I really have appreciated your Supernatural Worldview book and think you’re right on the money. Any chance we could snag lunch/dinner one of the nights you’re in town? Would love to break bread and pick your brain on a few things.
Sure lets try that Ill email you
I have a question Cris; Has God forgotten all the millions of Jews in the US, Europe, Russia and elsewhere in the world? where do they fit into ‘premillennial futurism’. To be sure their number far outweigh those in the Zionist state. Zech12:10 belongs to this present time of Grace, for indeed the “Spirit of Grace” has been poured out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It happened at Pentecost! Messiah has come removing sin from Jacob as foretold Isiah 59:20,21.
