‘End of times’ guys believe that in order for Christ to return, the Jews have to be in Israel but they also believe that anyone not a Christian will get slaughtered when Christ does return. So apparently, the Jews sole purpose is to be in Israel so the prophecy can be fulfilled even though they will be slaughtered by Christ when he returns.

It is very unfair...but they don't care because they're not Jews and we don't care because we don't believe in it...so I guess it evens out.

As a Christian I've been exposed to many views on the end times but I've never heard the one you present here.
Actually Christ doesn't care if people are Jews or not, all are invited to come to Him. His ministry started among the Jews and the first few hundreds of thousands of believers were Jews.

As goofy as Dispensationalism is, they don't actually believe that Jews will be slaughtered. They believe that God will send an angel to seal the 12 tribes of Isreal in their foreheads, and that the Jews will reign from Jerusalem for eternity.

It's unfair for both Jews and Christians. It puts false hope in the Jews that they can be saved without Jesus. In the Christians it creates a false hope also but more importantly it removes the focus and centrality of Jesus and the Christian Church for salvation and replaces it with a worldly geographical kingdom of earth and stones in Palestine.
The Kingdom of God is not meat and dring but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Jesus has already established his Kingdom.

You have it wrong. One of the prophesies of the end times is that many Jews will believe in Jesus as The Messiah. That is happening already. They don't call themselves Christians though and other Jews do not consider them to be Jewish. People are going to face tribulation. A choice is going to have to be made to follow the Antichrist or realize that Jesus is The Christ. Many people will make the right choice before Jesus returns. Sadly, others will follow the Antichrist. This includes all people, not just Christians and Jews.
God Bless.

You've answered your own question! It's all a load of old, and I do mean old, codswallop.If you are an American, that means bulls**t!
And I thought Christ was supposed to be all about love and forgiveness! So how come people think of him in terms of mass slaughter! Gimme a break! It's all bulls**t!

we stay in the top circumstances that the non secular traditions referred to. The undesirable information is that till we attain the "end of time" issues gets gradually worse, however the solid information is that afterwards we would have a sparkling earth and return to the primordial state, how issues are meant to be. yet regrettably we nevertheless will all ought to go through the evils till that day.

--NOT ONLY is it unfair but it also not true!
THIS IS GOD'S determination as to who is acceptable to him:
(Acts 10:34-35) “34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: “For a certainty I perceive that God is NOT PARTIAL (my caps), 35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.”
--NATIONALITY MEANS nothing to Jehovah God & Christ!
--WHEN Christ brings on armageddon there are 2 types of people marked for destruction everlastingly, as is referenced below:
(2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) “. . .This takes into account that it is righteous on God’s part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for YOU, 7 but, to YOU who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those WHO DO NOT KNOW(my caps ,stubbornly refuse) God and those WHO DO NOT OBEY the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength,”
DOES NOT that concept sound perverted-- It has the ring of a Hitler insanity?

Great point! As if the Jews aren't pissed enough at God. First he tells them they're his "chosen" people. Yippee! Then he sits back and takes a siesta while 6 million of them become toast in Hitler's ovens. But that's nothing for what the Christians have in store - all 4.5 billion of their fellow humans on this tiny blue dot are condemned to hell for not buying into their fairytale.

Neither the God that I serve, nor His Son who redeemed me, is interested in slaughtering anybody. Not the Jews. Not the Muslims. Not anybody.
Mind you, guys who ask stupid questions must sorely tempt Him to fire up a thunderbolt to throw.
