From Amish Fiction to Armageddon: A Prophetic Wake-Up Call

Jerry Eicher of Anabaptist Theological Perspective reflects on his unexpected journey into prophecy, including a pre‑COVID novel (Chosen to Die/The Road to Armageddon) that later echoed real events and led to church disciplinary fallout and his resignation. He surveys end‑times themes: the role and preservation of the Jewish nation, Romans 11 and Zechariah 14, the nature of God’s ‘‘wooing’’ of Israel, the Great Tribulation, martyrdom, and why he rejects the modern rapture doctrine as a 19th‑century innovation. Listeners can expect personal testimony, biblical interpretation of prophecy, practical implications for believers during tribulation, and a call to see the broad scriptural arc connecting Old and New Testament promises about Israel and the church.
