"The Scramble for Jerusalem" by James Henderson
“The Scramble for Jerusalem: the Second Coming and Fatal End Time Delusions” (ISBN 1439273480) by James Henderson contends that people of Islamic, Catholic, evangelical Christian, latter-day Puritan and Judaic faiths maintain end-time prophesies that center on the city of Jerusalem, a situation that he believes threatens world peace.
According to Henderson, various religions that claim descent from the Biblical patriarch Abraham hold specific views about the control of Jerusalem in preparation for the end of the world. Moreover, he argues that Sunni jihadists as well as Shia Iranians envision a new caliphate headquartered in Jerusalem. The result, Henderson maintains, could be a collision of forces that threatens the entire region and even the world. With this in mind, the author shows how he believes the end of the world prophecies of the five Abraham-centric religions are false, and gives an extended historical analysis of two competing end-time perspectives: the Jesuit theologies of Futurism and Preterism, belief systems that Henderson claims are contributing to an unholy religious civil war within Christianity that is inflaming tensions in the Middle East.
“For the first time, an analysis of all of the competing end-time theologies are brought together in one volume and shown to be competing, conflicting and equally false,” Henderson says. “Five major faiths feature Jerusalem as the capital of their coming Messianic kingdom and all are radically opposed to each other. They cannot all be right.”
Intended to educate and inform, the book analyzes centuries of religious theology and historical data in an effort to separate fact from fiction. The book is designed to reveal the causes of the Middle East conflict and the theologies behind them.
“The Scramble for Jerusalem: the Second Coming and Fatal End Time Delusions” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.

Futurism Was, Is, and Is To Come
Preterists claim that the “Antichrist” and the “great tribulation” were fulfilled during the 70 AD period.
If so, why do we find that the arrival of the Antichrist was regarded as a future event by writers who lived during and after 70 AD?
Polycarp (70-167) wrote that “He comes as the Judge of the living and the dead.”
Justin Martyr (100-168) said that “[Antichrist] shall venture to do unlawful deeds on the earth against us the Christians….”
Irenaeus (140-202) wrote that the ten kings (Rev. 17)”shall give their kingdom to the beast, and put the church to flight.”
It’s not true that Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) “revived” futurism because it was never lost during the Middle Ages or prior to that period of time.
Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) stated: “There remains only one thing – that the demon of noonday [Antichrist] should appear.”
Roger Bacon (1214-1274) spoke of “future perils [for the Church] in the times of Antichrist….”
John Wycliffe (1320-1384) referred to “the hour of temptation, which is coming upon all the world, Rev. iii.”
Martin Luther (1483-1546): “[The book of Revelation] is intended as a revelation of things that are to happen in the future….”
(Google or Yahoo “Famous Rapture Watchers” to see quotes from many Christian leaders throughout the Church Age which prove that they expected a future Antichrist and a future great tribulation.)
Preterists use Matt. 24:34 (“This generation will not pass….”) to try to prove a 70 AD fulfillment of “Antichrist.” Since many of them see “these” (Matt. 25:46) fulfilled in the future in Rev. 20, why can’t they apply futurism as easily to Matt. 24:34? After all, the word “this” is the singular form of “these”!
To see something that preterists, historicists, and futurists can all agree on, Google “Pretrib Rapture Secrets.”
