The new millennium is entering with great hope for Israel as a country and for the Jewish people as a nation. We are entering this new millennium with a Jewish State in the land of our forefathers, with the Hebrew language revived and living, with a much stronger Messianic Jewish community both in Israel and around the world. We know that if we are ready today to meet the Lord of all, the God of Israel, the Savior of mankind, we have nothing to fear either now or in the future. We know that Israel is the nation that as a nation has the promise of salvation. I say these things because of a very deep concern related to eschatology and the Jewish people.
Christian eschatology has a history of disappointments, wrong calculations, and false prophecies.
It is wrong for us as Yeshua s followers to put our trust and expectations on what has been a pattern of prophetic misunderstanding that Christian theologians and cult leaders have propagated over the centuries. The tension that bad eschatology has created in people concerning the coming millennium is a dangerous thing that can boomerang and turn to devour those who partake of it. Evangelical Christianity s love affair with Israel is a very young phenomenon that became popular only after the 1967 six days war. Young love affairs tend to disappear just as fast as they come up on the stage of history. Close to the introduction of the last millennium came the birth of the Crusades that flamed the fires of anti-Semitism across Europe and into the Holy Land.
