I'm sure this isn't going to help my case, but I was not raised on the writings of CI Scofield. @AllThatJazzZ
@Right_in_Virginia Neither was I. And I didn't become a believer until I was in my 30s. But once I did, I began to learn from the reference book Scofield learned from. The Jews will suffer persecution until the Savior returns. It's just that simple. You can't fix it. I can't fix it. Neither BB nor Biden can fix it. Not even your boy Trump can fix it.
“Thus declares the Lord who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him, ‘Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.’” (Zech. 12:2-3)
The Day of the Lord Zechariah 14:1–15 describes God gathering the nations to lay siege to Jerusalem and when half of the population has been exiled, God comes to deliver the city (2–3), defeating those opposing Jerusalem (verses 12–15).
I don't know God's timing regarding these events, but I do know how to discern the times. There's nothing anyone can do to prevent these things from happening.
And finally, because Christians take Genesis 12:1-3 very seriously, we're not likely to fall away in our support for Israel – even if our nation and our countrymen do.
