CHRISTIANS Should Support ISRAEL, Why?
Bible Prophecy Update - Sub #42
In light of the latest Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz Interview, which came off as more of a debate, I’m writing this publication in hopes of bringing Biblical clarity to this hot topic. Hopefully, this publication finds Tucker, as well as anyone else who may want to know Biblically why Christians should support Israel.
This debate was treacherous to listen to from many standpoints. Obviously, Ted Cruz wasn’t prepared for the onslaught he was about to face. I believe he thought this was going to be more of a friendly interview. On the other hand, Tucker Carlson really did expose himself ignorantly from a Biblical perspective as it relates to Christian and Jewish historical ties to one another. If you watch the entire interview, Tucker, at the beginning of the interview, was more concerned with why Ted was receiving money from AIPAC, a pro-Israel PAC in America. In contrast, at the end of the interview, Tucker sounded like a paid lobbyist and apologist for Putin of Russia. Putin of Russia is a dictator who supports every other dictator on the planet who mostly align against Israel and the West as a whole, such as Iran, China, Turkey, Venezuela, North Korea, etc.
The problem with Tucker and other popular celebrity “Christian” conservatives who have large followings, such as Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Stu Peters, and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, etc., is that they have all been accused of antisemitism by Jews of the far left fringe of Israel. They and many like them, instead of ignoring this group that many people know nothing about, here in the Americas. Most of them relish in debating and “winning” against the far left fringe of Israel as it relates primarily to the topic of antisemitism. As a result, they have taken the bait. They are all becoming the self-fulfilling prophecy of what they have now been accused of as antisemitic. If they weren’t antisemitic before, there is definitely a seething tone to their views towards Israel and Jews, which seems to become louder by the day. Interestingly, most of these types of “Celebrity Christians” who sound anti-Israel, to put it nicely, also seem to be Catholic. Something most don’t know is that the Vatican doesn’t recognize Israel or Jerusalem as the holiest place on the planet. The place where Jesus walked and where the Bible states God has written his name. They believe Vatican City in Rome is the holiest and most sacred place on earth. Just ask the Pope.
Excerpt from Tucker Carlson Network Interview below:
The Bible does mention in several places that during the last days, the world would be turning against Israel (Zechariah 12:3, Zechariah 13:8-9, Zechariah 14:2, Joel 3:2, Luke 21:24, Isaiah 11:12, Ezekiel ch. 38-39, Psalm 83), to name a few.
What’s surprising is both the Christian community's reaction and lack thereof. What I mean is there are those I would call again celebrity Christians in group A who are sounding very antisemitic. In contrast, group B, the evangelical Bible-believing crowd, is nearly completely silent. One group is ignorant and doesn't know their Bible, while the second group knows their Bible and chooses to say nothing. What’s the old adage, “When good men do nothing, evil prevails.” It’s time for the true Church to rise and not be afraid to speak truth into our society. It’s a part of being the light we are called to be. We should bring clarity to the confusion and overcome the lies with the Truth so that people will be drawn to the light of Christ. This is an update I encourage you to share with all your family, friends, and pastors. If you follow Tucker or anyone mentioned earlier, I would also ask you to post this on their feeds as a Biblical Response on this topic.
Since October 7th, I've been listening to the radio, television, and many pulpits across the country and have been shocked at what I've been hearing from those who call themselves Christians. Some don't fall into the two groups mentioned above and have tried to voice Biblical Truth amongst all the noise and rhetoric being thrown around. However, their voices are far too few.
The events between Israel and Hamas and now Iran, as tragic as they are, seem to be exposing who among the Christian community is the real deal. There have been claims such as "the Jews in Israel today aren't real Jews," "the land doesn't belong to the Jews," "the Jews today aren't real because they reject Jesus," and even claims that "Jesus was a Palestinian." These are claims I've been hearing even from some of the high-profile conservative Christian community. These sorts of shocking claims have always been there, but weren't exposed among those who call themselves Christians until after October 7th. These claims come from a false doctrine called Replacement Theology, a type of "doctrine of demons" of our day. In short, "Replacement Theology" claims the Church has replaced the nation of Israel and, therefore, God's purpose and plan for the Jews. There are different variations of this false doctrine today. So, on the one hand, we have terrorists raised to hate and murder Jews from childhood, while on the other hand, you have a sect of self-proclaimed Christians who don't even acknowledge that the Jews even exist today. Both Ideologies are demonically evil and non-Biblical. Isn’t it like Satan to blur the lines? He doesn’t want people to see the True light. Satan is on a rampage to make this world as dark as possible. Satan hates anything to do with God and thus tries to destroy or redefine and claim it as his own.
1Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 1st Timothy 4:1 NKJV
We will clear all this up “Biblically” and show you prophetically where all this is headed. I encourage anyone who holds to any of the views listed above that if you have any reverence for the Bible, you would have ears to hear.
The land of Israel, according to the Bible, belongs to God himself. This is one of many reasons Christians should support Israel, not because Israel’s government is perfect or makes all the right decisions. They don’t; Israel’s government is just as flawed as any other government. To support Israel doesn’t mean you support every decision they make. For example, a parent loves their children unconditionally, even when their children make bad choices. It’s not the bad choices we, as parents, support. We pray for our children through troubled times and lend aid where we can in order to point them toward a much brighter path in life. In several places in the Bible, we find that God has actually written his name in the Holy City of Jerusalem. One reason we support Israel is because it’s God’s land.
‘4 He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.” 2Kings 21:4
12 And may the God who causes His name to dwell there destroy any king or people who put their hand to alter it, or to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. Ezra 6:12
6 Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’ 2nd Chronicles 6:6
4 He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem shall My name be forever.” 2nd Chronicles 33:4
36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there. 1st Kings 11:36
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. 1st Kings 14:21
As you can see from these verses above, this land is God’s land. The Bible also points out in these verses that the land of Israel was occupied by Jews long ago. This was predetermined long before when God made a promise to Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation.
8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” Genesis 17:8
As Gentile Christians today, we worship and follow the God of the Jews. Israel is God’s land, Jesus wrapped himself in Jewish flesh when he came, and as a result, chose the Jews to give this land to. This is where we get the concept that the Jews are God’s chosen people. Biblically, we understand that Jewish people were descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. To be a Jew meant you came through this family bloodline. In both the Old and New Testaments, God is mentioned as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is the second reason why Christians should not only support the nation of Israel but also the Jews of Israel, all for the same reasons listed earlier.
15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.Genesis 13:15
18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates Genesis 15:18
Bottom line, scripturally, Israel is God’s land, and the Jews are God’s chosen people. Period. The land of Israel today is much smaller than what God had originally promised in Genesis 15:18. Today, the land of Israel is about the size of New Jersey, completely surrounded by radical Islam whose goal is to eradicate all Jews and take the land God promised them, yet Israel is constantly being pressured to divide its land even further. It’s absolutely ridiculous!
When Jesus comes back, all of Israel will be restored. So what’s the Biblical proof that the Jews today are really Jews? The fact that Israel exists today is by far the most significant proof that we are living in the last days. No other nation has come back into existence after 2000 years. NONE! Not to mention, Israel was declared a nation 2 years after the holocaust on May 14th, 1948, which makes this Bible prophecy fulfillment that more miraculous. So, to answer the question, see the passages below and note that this is a fulfilled Bible prophecy that has already taken place, allowing us to know that we are at the end of this age.
3 For behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord. ‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’ Jeremiah 30:3
17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:17
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Ezekiel 37:12-14
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children. Isaih 66:8
It’s not our place, the United Nations, or anyone representing the global community, to divide a land that God has established as an everlasting promise to the Jews. Doing so will bring about consequences even to the Jews themselves by capitulating, which unfortunately fortells they will eventually do.
2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:2-3
3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces,though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. Zechariah 12:3
2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. Joel 3:2
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.” Isaiah 28:15
Isaiah 28:15 directly correlates with Daniel 9:27 when the Antichrist makes a false covenant with Israel that only lasts 3 1/2 years before it is broken. The covenant of Daniel 9:27 will temporarily acknowledge Israel's existence by many nations in exchange for land and what appears to be a third Jewish temple on the Temple Mount. You can not have Daniel 9:27 without the Palestinians being included. I cover this more in-depth in the last chapter of my book, “The EndTime Is Now.” This false covenant acknowledging Israel’s existence goes all the way back to Genesis 15:18, which we covered earlier. When you see a peace deal being announced that includes dividing the land with the Palestinians, the day the United Nations ratifies it will be the day the final seven years will begin, leaving the Church with only 7 years left for our redemption by Jesus and his return.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” Daniel 9:27
To answer the question of whether or not Jesus is a Jew. The Bible teaches that he was born in Bethlehem to a Jewish mother named Mary. Jesus was raised by Joseph and Mary, who followed Jewish law. Jesus was often referred to as Rabbi and teacher. Over Jesus' head, while hanging on the cross, was written, “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS” Matthew 27:37. When Jesus was speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus identified himself as a Jew:
22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. John 4:22
As far as the Jews rejecting Jesus, by no means does this eradicate the fact that they are still Jews. As a matter of fact, the Bible teaches that the Gospel is to the Jew first and then the Gentile.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.Romans 1:16
Whether Palestinian, Jew, or anything else, the fact remains that our only solution is Jesus Christ. Christians who know Jesus should be a loving example to the Jews as they are to anyone else. God did not create anyone he didn’t love. Any Ideology that teaches to hate a particular people group based on race is saying God made a mistake in creating a person, and they think they are somehow responsible for erasing the mistakes God made. The Bible teaches that we are all created in the image of God. Any Ideology that teaches hate and murder of other people only comes from Satan himself because he hates all humans. After all, we are all made in the image of God.
Jesus will return for a Jewish/Gentile Church mix, just like it was when Jesus was here the first time. The whole reason that Israel exists today and the Jews are back in their land is that in order for Jesus to rapture a fully beautiful bride, he has to first bring back the Jews into the fold of the Church. Once this happens, the rapture will occur. It will take the Great Tribulation to bring this event about. The passage below shows God dealing with the Jews and the Gentiles simultaneously during the tribulation period, which results in all of Israel being saved at the very end of the tribulation.
25For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And so all Israel will be saved..Romans 11:25-26
We are, in fact, the last generation of Saints that Revelation and other books of the Bible are speaking towards. The fullness of the Gentiles refers to the last Gentile who accepts Christ, who is a part of the rapture. The Bible makes it clear in other places that Gentiles will still be getting saved during the Tribulation period, which leaves no doubt that the fullness of the Gentiles cannot happen at an earlier time. We must quit sitting idly by. We need to be doing the will of the Father now, reaching those to Christ while preparing ourselves emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually for the next phase of the battle that is quickly approaching. Any true Bible-believing Christian today, by definition, is a Zionist. Embrace it. We are, in fact, living in the last days!
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1st John 2:15-17
Remember, if you follow Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, or any other celebrity who claims to be a Christian who seems to be double-minded on Israel and the Jews, post this on all of their platforms. Most importantly, pray for them as well as the Jewish people.
