Left Behind: The Shepherd Through Tribulation's Valley - Dispensational (Psalm 23)

Source: ChurchWiseAI79 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

In Left Behind, Tribulation believers cling to Psalm 23—walking through the ultimate valley of the shadow of death. Dispensational theology sees prophetic dimensions: "the valley of the shadow of death" includes Tribulation; the table before enemies is millennial vindication; "dwell in the house of the LORD forever" is eternal state. Believers facing antichrist need Psalm 23: the Shepherd present through darkest prophetic hour. "I will fear no evil"—even in Tribulation. The Shepherd leads through history's climax into eternal dwelling.
