It’s not a “viewpont” that causes history to happen. It’s basically what God says will happen, because He controls it all, regardless of a named viewpoint or the people who hold to it. The key is that God controls these things, and they will happen as the Bible says it will...
The Tribulation time will happen as He says, the Antichrist will come on the scene as He says, and Jesus Christ will return at the end of that 7-year Tribulation and set up the Kingdom of God, on this earth, ruling and reigning for His 1,000 year Kingdom. And it’s during that 1,000 year Millennial reign of Christ that we’ll see the fulfillment of all the promises of God to national Israel, plus the many other promises written in the Bible for that time of world-wide peace and prosperity.
