According to Harvard Professor Robert Putnam as revealed in his
recently released book "American Grace: How Religion Divides and
Unites the United States" the most popular religion in the US is not
Catholicism or Mormonism, it is Judaism.
Putnam, in a previous
book he published, indicated that America was losing its social
capital, but that Americans were a deeply religious people, more so on
average than in Iran for example. Putnam said he thinks what brought
about the surprising popularity of these historically persecuted people
was that the American public may have learned the lessons of the
injustice wrought upon the chosen people in the past.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Though
a recent survey says that in America the most popular religion is
Judaism, the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy
contradicts those findings.
Harvard professor and author Robert
Putnam has released his findings of a survey taken from among 3000
people, a cross section of America, that reveals Judaism is the most
popular religion among Americans. These findings are very interesting;
however, they are somewhat difficult to believe when one reads the
reports of growing Antisemitism in America and around the world. Some
have said that this survey may indicate that there are those who
embrace Judaism because of guilt from the way that the world has
traditionally persecuted the Jewish people. Whatever the reason for
Judaism's popularity in America, the future does not bode well for the
Jews.
In a seven year period of time known as the Tribulation
Period, the Jewish people will not be very popular and in fact will be
the focus of not only persecution but an effort for the complete
annihilation of the Jewish people on earth, that scenario is revealed
in Revelation 14-19. In these 16 chapters, it is evident that the
sources of evil, both man and angels will try to eliminate the Jews
from the world, Revelation 12:13-17. Zechariah, another ancient Jewish
prophet, says that two-thirds of the Jews will be killed during this
same period of time, Zechariah 13:8.
Judaism may be popular today, but in the future, the Jews will be the target for destruction.
