The Dispensational Antichrist Disproves Dispensationalism

"I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." 

- Genesis 12:31 (see also Numbers 24:9) 

This verse is one of the favorites among dispensationalists. According to their interpretation, it is an eternal and unconditional promise by God to ethnic Israel. Among other things, it is used to justify political action to keep the American government in a policy of unconditional endorsement and assistance to the modern State of Israel

Another verse used by dispensationalists is Daniel 9:27: "He shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator." According to their interpretation, this verse means that Israel will make a treaty with the Antichrist. Now understand, the dispensationalist considers the Antichrist to be a really bad dude. 

Do you see the problem with this juxtaposition? 

The dispensationalist tells us that anyone who assists the nation of Israel will be blessed  by God. He also tells us that the Antichrist assists Israel with a treaty. Doesn't syllogistic logic tell us that those two premises result in the conclusion that God will bless the Antichrist? 

I guess it's a good thing that I am not a dispensationalist. I reject both premises. Therefore, i don't have to deal with the nonsense that results from them.
