Most of those who identify as Evangelical Christians also identify as Zionists. They believe that the 1948 formation of the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of ancient prophecies, mostly from Zechariah 14. They call it a miracle of God. They believe, like many Israeli Zionists, even those who a non-religious, that the Jews are God’s special chosen people and the land we call Palestine is their traditional homeland, given to them by God.

There is an element of the Zionists who believe the Talmudic propaganda that they are elite above all other humans. They believe they have a divine right over all other humans on Earth. A Jewish supremacy! Don’t believe me? Listen to this guy.

I don’t believe that is the case for all Jews. Also there are many who are anti-Zionist and there are others who read their Talmud but acknowledge how racist the teachings are.

But why do so many Christians follow such non-Christian beliefs?

One believer in Christ wrote to me recently:

Hi Gideon,

I found your website through Health Impact News.  During the covid scam, I found Brian Shilhavy’s website and learned and ‘unlearned’ so much about faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have been reading many articles on your website too and find them such a blessing. I came to know the Lord in 1983, and my husband did as well.  However, we have been involved with evangelical Zionist dispensational Christian fellowships and have always been staunch supporters of Israel.  Since waking up to the covid scam, we have developed a little more discernment, but when Israel started bombing Gaza, we really started doing our research and have reversed our beliefs about the state of Israel.  We have gone through a lot of trauma and grief coming to grips with our delusion about the ‘miracle’ of Israel and the ‘most moral army in the world’.

Love in Christ

[my emphasis added]

Thankfully they were awakened to the psyop being propagated within the evangelical churches. As I have written before, it is a delusion, that ethnicity has privilege for one special class of people.

I have seen this myself. A Messianic Jew enters a room and the Gentile believers worship him like he has a better connection to Christ by being a Jew. Or the Evangelical Christians literally worship the state of Israel as representing God. It is idolatry. Ironically orthodox Jews say that Christians are idolators because we worship Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Why would a believer in Christ worship the Zionist state? It is so serious that it undermines the very nature of the gospel. Judaizers Pervert the Gospel of Christ. What is the difference between Zionism, Judaism or Christianity? Christians Should Follow the Teachings of Christ.

If being an Evangelical Christian means abandoning the true understand of the gospel that Jesus and the Apostle taught then I am not an Evangelical Christian.

The True Israel of God are all those who trust in Jesus Christ, regardless of ethnicity. There is no physical kingdom of God on Earth apart from the kingdom of souls Christ has chosen from among men. God’s nation is a spiritual nation of believers in His Son Jesus Christ. Jerusalem and the current nation of Israel are irrelevant to worship of the living God.

Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman and…

21 … said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation [Hebrew: Yeshua] is of the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:21-24

  1. This is somewhat of a “straw man” reaction. The problem with this position is that the Bible contains many, many specific promises for the nation Israel that are not given to other nations or to the Church. There is no indication in Scripture that these prophecies have been revoked. Instead, the Bible says YHWH God is not a man that he should lie or change His mind. Moreover, many dispensationalists have long recognized that the current situation may not be a fulfillment of those prophecies. One can agree with the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel are yet future without rejecting evangelical Christianity. So why attack fellow believers over this?

    1. This is no “straw man”! It is a real problem within Corporate Christianity. The assumption you explicitly make is that there are promises in the Bible about the restoration of the nation state of Israel in modern times. That view I do not agree with. It is a view that stems from a misunderstanding of scripture in two areas.

      1) The gospel: Who are the true Israel of God?

      The True Israel of God

      And God’s blessings on Abraham

      The message of the scriptures has and always will be the glory of Jesus Christ. The message is not on anything, person or nation other than the God man Jesus Christ. It is fulfillment theology. He fulfilled all OT prophecies. In Him the believers are the true Israel of God (John 15).

      2) Eschatology: Jesuit Futurism combined with JN Darby and CI Scofield teaching that Jewishness has some special status, and the Jews are treated differently to those saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) . Ethnicity has nothing to do with it.

      1. I refuse to associate myself with evangelicalism for additional reasons than a portion of evangelicals fawning over present day (so-called) “Jews” — many of whom are antichrists of the synagogue of Satan — as God’s chosen people. In addition to rejecting the corporate churchianity aspect of evangelicalism, I have decided that (1) the entirety of denominationalism (2) the whole of Protestant Reformationism (3) Roman Catholicism aren’t worth joining. I’m much more interested in the primitive and archaic faith of the earliest believers, beginning with the apostles and the prophets.

      2. I am with you. Back to the faith and example of the early church. Base your walk with the Lord on His word and the works of the ancient fathers.

    2. the jews were also warned against backslifding which they did hundreds of times. every judgement and every curse that israel suffered was because of their rebellion. the word “if” is conditional. deuteronomy 28 is replete with this word and god specifically told them that if they rebel he would curse them forever. every evangelical zionist deliberately ignores this passage

  2. It seems to me all Christian Zionists are evangelicals, but not all evangelicals are Christian Zionists. Those who follow all the dispensational / futurist doctrines of Darby and Scofield are mostly supporters of Israel, but there are also some futurists who do not support Israel and call themselves evangelicals. All historicists think of support of Israel as support of antichrists, what the Word of God forbids in 2 John 9-11.
