Approximately 100 Million
American Church Members
Have Very Little to No
Understanding of Bible
Prophecy
-by Bill Koenig
Note from Bill:
Today there are approximately 100 million American church members who have very little to no understanding of Bible prophecy.
These church members are from replacement theology churches that don't teach Bible prophecy and who look at prophetic scriptures as allegorical and not literal. {President Bush was taught Replacement Theology}
Consequently, they do not understand the importance of Israel to the God of Israel or God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations.

These church members also have no understanding of the biblical significance of what is transpiring today in Israel, Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, and in other Middle East nations. They are also not aware of the significance of the formation of the European Union, new ID technologies and much more.
I have shared the biblical significance of our times with some of these people and almost all of them can't process the information mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Many of these people, due to fear or unbelief, do not want to hear more. Sadly, they also have no biblical point of reference in which to start if they had interest.
The good news is those who understand Bible prophecy are fully aware of the significance of Israel, God's time clock, and are watching the times with great interest and expectancy.
Below is a list of the 25 largest churches in America. The churches that are highlighted in bold {C~B~N is adding COLOR since bold is defaulted on this blog} are confirmed replacement theology churches. We are still attempting to confirm a few of the smaller church positions.

~~~~C~B~N's Thoughts~~~~
Baptists ain't perfect, but they at least understand Bible prophecy and don't think it is just an allegorical "thriller".
If you are through sticking your head in the sand and want to know about the "End Times" attend a Baptist church when they are doing one of their "end time" studies. They do them yearly. Especially since they believe we ARE LIVING in the END TIMES today.
Their reasoning for this?
Matthew 24: 32-35 or Mark 13: 28-31
The "fig tree" IS Israel. When she became a nation again, the millenium clock started its final countdown!
This is NOT something to be feared; UNLESS, you are unsaved!
And yes, C~B~N is Southern Baptist, born and raised!
