The Great Winepress Is Not Armageddon

What if we're wrong about the Great Winepress? If it's not Armageddon, what is it?

While pouring over the biblical texts, one will occasionally experience an "aha" moment, an insight that seems obvious in retrospect. If several of these moments flow together into a cohesive whole, then one has a theory worth sharing with a few treasured mentors and friends. If that theory stands up against attempts to disprove it, and grows stronger as even more passages fit into place, then one has found a rare treasure to share with the Body of Christ. — Mo Dardinger

For centuries, men and women have struggled to weave together the different strands of prophecy that Dardinger, founder of Sixth Seal Ministries, says belong to the Great Winepress tapestry. Biblical passages the author interprets as belonging to the Great Winepress conflict have been variously identified as describing the battle of Armageddon, an overview of the seven bowl judgments, the Sheep and Goats Judgment, and a failed attack by an Assyrian king.

In the pages of this booklet, however, Dardinger argues that they are none of the above but are a distinct attack against God's holy city Jerusalem during the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer. 30:7-9). Yet it is this very time of intense trouble that finally drives Israel to cry out for rescue by the Messiah she has so long rejected, the Lord Yeshua (Jesus).

God's plan works, and the Jewish people say, as predicted, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord" (Hos. 5:15, Matt. 23:39). The Great Winepress, Dardinger concludes, signals the reception of the Lord's anointed as the King of the Jews, and it proves God's faithfulness to His besieged and downtrodden people. What their enemies meant for evil, their divine protector means for their eternal good.
