Christian Zionism & End Time Deception and Delusion
This is one of the best talks I’ve heard to date that exposes so called Christian Zionism as a false unbiblical doctrine and deception of the enemy. The YouTube is an hour and 8 minutes long, but the speaker, Charles A. Jennings, speaks quite slowly. It’s faster to read what he has to say than listen to him. And he has very important things to say!

Welcome to truth in history.
Have you ever wondered what is the biggest end-time deception that has entered the Church? What is the biggest, not a deception, but the biggest deception that has entered especially the fundamental Evangelical Church World, especially here in America. It’s something to think about. It’s a very serious matter, and I’m afraid that most Christian people in the Evangelical, fundamental, Pentecostal, Baptist, independent, that type of Church, are the biggest ones, the biggest crowd to be deceived by this delusion that has come along and hit the Church world. It’s been around for apoximately 120 years, but the worst part of it has been around ever since about 1970 after The Six Day War in the Middle East.
This is what I want to talk about today, and that is Christian Zionism. I believe that it is the biggest delusion, deception, that has come along in a very very long time. There’s been a lot of isms that have come along in the Church, but Christian Zionism has affected not only the Church, the preaching, the singing, the offerings, the money, it has affected our society and also foreign relations, and even our national foreign policy.
Now, in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, the Apostle Paul is warning the Church concerning the man of sin that is yet to be revealed, not in our day, but was yet to be revealed after Paul’s day. And he said that this man of sin would be in the Temple, this is 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 4, he said who opposeth and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he as God sitth in the Temple of God showing himself to be God.
Now, we believe historically, or I believe that that was the dynasty of popes. But do you notice where this man of sin puts himself in the Temple of God? Not the hieron, the physical brick and mortar of Solomon’s Temple or Herod’s Temple, but he puts himself in the naos the body of Christ, in the true Church, or where the religious people, Bible believing people, were located. That’s where he sat himself, in the naos, in the spiritual Church I should say. And that’s where Christian Zionism has set itself.
But reading on in this same chapter in verse number nine it says, “even him whose coming is after the working of Satan.” The opposer. Satan means opposer. “With all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved.”
And then in verse number 11 he gives the reason. He says, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie.”
Now the Church world that I named, Evangelical, fundamental, “Bible believing” Pentecostal World, a large part of the Baptist world, the independent World, they are under a strong delusion. Or, whoever else believes in Christian Zionism, they are under a strong delusion that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. It says that they may be damned or judged. There is coming a judgment against this whole Christian Zionist philosophy that has invaded the Church.
Now, why am I not a Christian Zionist? There are many reasons, but the Christian Zionist movement is built upon the sand. It’s built upon a shaky foundation. It’s not a solid foundation. It’s not a Biblical Foundation. It’s a lot of misinterpretation of Scripture.
And the first one … well let me say this about Christian Zionism. Christian Zionism is that element, that philosophy, that “Bible” interpretation, and I put that in quotes because it’s not in the Bible, that believes that the Jewish people living today, number one, they believe that the Jewish people are the descendants, the direct lineal descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and that God gave that land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He gave it to “the Jews.” And they’re equating Jews with all of Israel, all 12 or 13 tribes. They’re equating just the Jews as all 13 tribes. See, right there is a wrong premise because the Jews do not have an unbroken genealogical line back to the Bible Patriarchs.
If you study and read after the Jewish scholars that are honest, the historians, they will tell you that the Jews of today is that class of people that is made up of many many different ethnic groups, and it’s a religion, and it’s a culture, it’s a social culture, it’s a religious culture, it’s a historical culture. So during the centuries many people have joined themselves by either adopting the Judaistic religion, accepting the Talmud as their sacred book, and or they have married into people who were considered Jews, so they were considered Jews. There are Chinese Jews, black Jews, white Jews, Japanese Jews, there’s Jews of all type. So it’s not a clean genealogical unbroken line all the way back to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And if anyone believes that that’s the case, they are delusional. Read the Jewish historians and scholars.
Number two, they believe that the Jews have a right to that land of Palestine, which that we know is not the proper name for the place, but it was given that name by the Romans. So they believe that the Arabs have no right to the land at all, they need to get out. And greater Israel as they call it, the Jews believe that they have a ancestral right from the Euphrates river to the river of Egypt. So they say, “That’s ours. The Arabs have no right whatsoever. I don’t care how long they’ve been there, I don’t care how many are there, they need to get out.”
The next thing that Christian Zionism believes, is that if Christians around the world, especially American Christians with American money will help finance the Jews going back to Canaan land, and building up the place, and planting orchards and gardens and buildings, and raising up houses in the different settlements, that it will hasten the coming of Jesus Christ. And they also believe that when Jesus Christ comes, that He will sit in a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem and rule from a Jewish State. And many of them believe that the Old Testament ceremonial rituals will be reinstated, blood sacrifice, animal sacrifice, and they will be reinstated so that the Jews can have a means of salvation.
Many Zionists today believe that there’s two plans of salvation, for the Gentiles – that is everyone that’s not Jewish – they can have their salvation through Jesus, but the Jews, they can have salvation through returning to the Old Testament ceremonies of sacrifice of animals. Now, how ridiculous is that?
So that’s just some of the things that they believe. No doubt they believe more than that because it has become cultish. It is absolutely working themselves into becoming a cult, a Christian Zionistic cult. And one of these cult members could be your pastor. It could be someone that is sitting in the pew next to you. It could be your relative. And the people that are most rabid in believing this are the fundamental Evangelical Bible believing Christians who carry a Scofield Bible.
In Genesis 12:1, this is one of their favorite verses, Genesis 12:1, it says this:
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Now, in whom and in what posterity has all the families of the earth been blessed? Through the Jews? Or through true Israel, “the Gentiles” that have preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world? Who has blessed the world more? Have the Jews taken the Gospel? We all know the answer to that.
Also, the Lord said, “And I will bless them that bless thee.” He said nothing about blessing a modern State. He spoke to Abraham. He said, “I will bless them that bless thee and in thy seed, and in thee, shall all nations of the earth be blessed. And in his seed, Abraham’s offspring, if you bless them. It says absolutely nothing about blessing or cursing a political State, nothing. So the Christian Zionists have no right to use that verse to promote their support of the modern state of Israel.
Now, also we see this in 2 Chronicles chapter number 19 verse number one.
2 Chronicles Chapter 19 1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
Wrath came upon him because he helped the ungodly and them that hated the Lord. Do the Jewish people love the Lord? Who is the the Lord? The Lord is the Lord Jesus Christ. Do they love Him? Or do they curse Him? So we see this principle where why should Christians bless someone with their moral support or monetary support that hate the Lord, that hates Jesus Christ, denies His divinity, that believed that he was conceived by Mary who was a prostitute and sired by a Roman soldier? They believe that!
So that’s one reason why I’m not a Christian Zionist. I cannot support support the enemy, love the ungodly. It’s an abomination, it’s a delusion, it’s a deception, but yet, the Jewish lobby and the lackeys that go along with it, the big-name evangelists for the last 50 years, ever since about 1970, have been promoters of this concept. And they have become prostitutes for an ungodly element. They became lackeys, lap dogs for the Jewish nation and the Jewish Lobby in this country. I could name some names but I think you know who I’m talking about.
Now, how did this concept get started? In around 1860 or so some of the Jewish rabbis said we need a homeland. Well, the the idea caught on among a lot of Jewish people, especially those living in Europe. And so Theodore Herzel in 1897 held his Zionist conference in Basel Switzerland and said, “We need a homeland.” And they began to look around and said, “Where can we create a homeland?” They thought of Madagascar. They thought of Uganda and possibly other places in that part of the world. But some of the Christians like Arno C. Gaebelein and Brooks, and another man by the name of Scofield and Clarence Larkin and other Bible believing people said, “No, the Bible prophesies that the Jews would return to Palestine.”
So the Zionist movement was born 1917 in November. Lord Balfour signs the Balfour Declaration. He was the Home Secretary of the British government. He signs the Balfour Declaration in agreement with Rothschild and giving the Jews the right to go to Palestine and form a homeland. But it did not say a nation, it just said you can go there and live peaceably with the Arabs, and the civil and religious rights of the Arabs shall not be disturbed at all. That was in the Balfour Declaration. But they soon broke that.
Immediately after World War II the conflict between the Jews over there and the Arabs intensified. More Jews were coming in from around the world and taking the property of the Arabs. So there was warfare, violence on each side, extreme violence. It’s not just one-sided that lasted through the 20s the 30s and the 40s, when Menachem Begin who later became a prime minister, with his leader of the Ingun gang or the Stern gang. They blew up the King David hotel. I think that was in 1947, and killed several British soldiers and officers, because Britain had a mandate for that land. And when the British left, they declared themselves a nation.
And then our president, Harry S Truman, who was a self-proclaimed Baptist, who had been trained under the teaching of Scofield by his pastors, said according to Bible prophecy the Jews have a right to that land. So the nation of Israel was formed in May of 1948. And they had conflict with the Arabs throughout the 50s, but in 1967 was The Six Day War, and they won hands down. Look at the American money and American equipment that they had.
So that (the popularity of the doctrine of Christian Zionism) started after The Six Day War. The Christians in this country, the fundamental evangelicals, got the idea that these are God’s people, this is God’s land, and they deserve to have this land. So they began their big support for the Jewish cause.
Now, the teaching, “Bible” teaching or “Bible” justification for Zionism came out of the Scofield Reference Bible, and Scofield along with Arno C. Gaebelein wrote the notes. And then Mr. Clarence Larkin came along and made the real big book chart full of charts, and it just went through the Christian World in this country like wildfire. And people began to support it during the 20s 30s and 40s. And then in around 1970 you had preachers that were on television, that way they could speak to millions of Americans and they promoted this Zionist cause.
Now, who was it? You name the big television evangelists that were on television starting in around 1970 working this way, and some of them still on, and some new ones. Those are the ones that generate moral and monetary support for Christian Zionism. And it’s become an absolute last day fever! You ought to hear some of these Christian Zionists on TV these days during this Israeli Hamas conflict! They are cultish! One man told me that every Arab should be killed! How ridiculous! And he being a Christian who told me that, “Every one of them should be just killed and let the Jews have the land whatever they want, and this will help Jesus to come back and rapture the Church.” So they’re they’re really happy.
You’ve got the Left Behind Series that came along which is absolute fiction. And this fiction has just taken over the mind of people that the 70th week of Daniel is future, there will be a third Temple built, the Rapture will take place, then 7-year tribulation for everybody that’s left, but a third of the Jews will be killed. They say a third of them will be killed and some of the some of the Jews on TV are not too happy about that because they’re not happy with the Christian Zionists who are saying, “Go back to Palestine and be killed.” So it’s a mixed up mess. Also Hal Lindsay’s book, The Late Great Planet Earth that was in 1970 really got the ball rolling.
Now, here’s some of the heresies that they teach. They teach that God has two Divine plans, one for an Earthly people called the Jews, and another plan for His Heavenly people called the Church. Now where is that in the Bible? An Earthly people and a Heavenly people. He’s working on two fronts at the same time. And the preacher in San Antonio says that there’s a plan of salvation strictly for the Jews, and one strictly for “the Gentiles,” the non-Jews. And the salvation plan for the Jews is animal sacrifice. So they advocate the re-institution of animal sacrifice.
Also, they believe in a postponement theory that when Jesus came the first time the Jews rejected Him because Jesus did not assume the Throne of David when He came but he went to the Cross instead. He went to the cross when he should have went strictly to the throne. So Jesus came, the Jews rejected Him, so the postponement theory is the Jews will accept Him when He comes again or something like that. And they’re going to be flaming evangelists, 144,000 of them, listed in Revelation chapter 7. They’re going to be the flaming evangelist to go around the world, and there’ll be the greatest revival ever to take place. Folks, that is nonsense! The Bible never says anything about 144,000 Jews preaching the Gospel. That’s a perversion. It’s a lie. In Revelation chapter 7 when those tribes are named, it’s the tribes of Israel, all 12 tribes of Israel. Now, I know Dan is missing, but this is talking about something totally different. This is talking about true Israel, not apostate Israel.
So they (evangelicals) believe that when Jesus comes again they (the Jews) will accept Him. He’ll set up His throne, and it will be a Jewish Throne, a Jewish State, a Jewish gospel, and they will rule over the Gentiles, all non-Jews, like they’re a bunch of slaves or peons. That’s what these people believe.
In believing the idea that the 70th week of Daniel is future, they they believe in an Antichrist, a one man Antichrist. And this one man Antichrist is going to make a covenant or a treaty with the Jews. But this is what John the Apostle tells us about the definition of an antichrist. The Bible never teaches a one man Antichrist, but that’s what the Christian Zionists believe. 1 John Chapter 2 the first Epistle of John chapter 2: 18.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
The last time John was writing this, it was in the first century, and he considered that the last days. And he said antichrist shall come, there are many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. And then in verse 22:
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Do you know any people that denies that Jesus is the Messiah? You guessed it. He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. If you deny the Son you deny the Father also.
Don’t tell me like these Christian Zionists believe, “Well, the Jews believe the Old Testament God is the one they worship. The Christians worship Jesus.” Two Gods?! That’s how nutty these people are.
Verse 23:
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.- 1 John 2:23
Then in the first Epistle of John chapter 4, verse number one:
¶Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: – 1 John 4:1-2
In other words, God incarnate, in flesh. That’s what he’s talking about, is of God.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: – 1 John 4:3a
What group of people, what religion, does not believe that Jesus Christ is the incarnate God?
and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. – 1 John 4:3b
Because those people, those Pharisees, scribes Herodians, they denied the deity of Jesus Christ. They say, “Who are you? Who are you?”
Also in the Second Epistle of John verse 7,
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
How can these Christian Zionists go to church and sing, “Oh, how I Love Jesus,” and then the next night go to a Night for Israel rally, and wave their little flag with six-pointed star on it and yell, “Israel, Israel, Israel,” thinking of the Jews. And dig into their pocketbook and say, “We need to send some money to the soldiers.” Soldiers? they’re well equipped already, especially with the Iron Dome paid for by the US and $3.5 billion dollars every year of our tax money goes there.
So this is the Antichrist. Those people are antichrist. And how can two walk together except they be agreed? Christian Zionism, folks, is a delusion. It’s a deception, and it’s the biggest one that’s come down the pike for the last 50 years.
They also believe in the Rapture. They believe that Revelation 4:1 when the angel told John to come up higher or come up hither that’s the Rapture. Oh how weak, how weak is that exegesis (reading out of Scripture)! That’s not exegesis, that’s eisegesis, reading something into the text (based on one’s own bias and interpretation).
And there they go again with 1 Thessalonians chapter 4. But that’s talking about the resurrection, not a flying away, not a flying away to another planet. That’s talking about the resurrection of the righteous.
They believe that another Temple, the Third Temple they call it, must be rebuilt. I find an interesting verse in Jeremiah chapter 7 beginning with verse number one.
Jeremiah 7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Stand in the gate of the LORD’S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. 3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
What the Jews did back in Judah long before the time of Christ, they thought that the Temple was everything. The whole Judaistic religion revolved around the Temple. The Temple, that was their great emphasis. And they neglected these other things that I just read about, justice, fairness, righteousness, etc. They put an emphasis upon the Temple. But what did Jesus say in Matthew 24? He knew that the Temple had become an idol. The ceremonial law had become an idol. And at that time, it really wasn’t the law of Moses, it was Talmudic law. And they were carrying on all their ceremonies. And Jesus simply said, “There shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.” Why did He destroy the Temple? It had become a religious icon, an idol that was the center of Judaism. And there’s where Jesus prophesied that the Roman army would come and destroy that place.
Who is the real Temple? In John Chapter 2 and verse 18 we read this:
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, (See, they were thinking about the brick and the mortar.) and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
The true Temple of God is Jesus Christ, his literal physical body. But He said, “I’m going to build a Church.” And the Church has become the body of Christ. That’s the true Temple. This is what Paul said in 1 Corinthians chapter 6:19.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost? Not heron, brick and mortar, but naos, the Temple of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit resides within every believer. That’s the true Temple of God. And Christian Zionists are collecting money to build a third Temple, brick and mortar, and all the furnishings and the furniture, and then go through that ritual again? I mean are they thinking straight? It’s a delusion! The Lord said, “I will send a strong delusion that they will even believe a lie. They’re believing a lie.
2 Corinthians chapter 6 says this:
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Clear enough. He dwells in us. Christ dwells in us. Christ in you the hope of glory. And we dwell in Christ. And Paul said that’s His body, that’s the true Temple. Why does the Christian world or the Jews or anybody else need a third Temple? It’s a political thing. The Christian Zionists are under delusion.
Another verse that these Christian Zionists use is found in Psalm 122 and verse 6. They quote it all the time.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Now, what is the context of this verse? Psalms 120 through 134, that’s 15 Psalms. They are what are called songs of degrees. And if you notice they’re like stepping stones or steps going higher and higher. And they were sung by the worshippers on their way to Jerusalem, or the captives returning from Babylon, returning back to Jerusalem, when people were literally returning back to the old city of Jerusalem from Babylon, or when they were going up to worship. And they said, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” They lived there. That was the center of their worship. That was the center of their religion. That was the center of the priesthood. That’s where the labor (?) was located and the golden altar of incense, and the Tabernacle or the Temple, and the holy place and the most holy place, and the brazen altar. But we don’t have all that today. It’s irrelevant and nowhere, nowhere in New Testament theology, are we commanded to pray for Jerusalem.
This Scripture, Psalm 122 verse 6 is misapplied. They use it all the time. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Naturally the people back then in Old Testament times, this is a thousand years before Christ, this is the setting for this verse. They wanted a peaceful city because there’s where the Lord put His Name.
But He forsook the place in Matthew 24. And when we come to Matthew 23, He uttered all these woes, all these woes. And then we come down to verse 37 of Matthew 23.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Now listen. Jesus did not pray for the city of Jerusalem. He wept over it. He cursed it.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. – Matthew 23:37-38
Is that a prayer? That’s a curse! Your religion is left under you desolate. Your Temple is desolate. Your city is desolate. And about 40 years later here comes the Roman army. That was the judgment of God because they rejected the Son of God. And those people are still rejecting the Son of God.
Josephus the Jewish historian tells us that they continued, the Jews continued sacrificing animals even after the sacrifice of Jesus. So concerning the sacrifice of Jesus when He was on the cross, what did He say? John 19:30: “It is finished.” All the sacrifices are gone. The veil of the Temple rent in twain. That way you don’t need that physical holy place anymore.
Jesus is the holy place, and He exposed that the Temple system was a farce. Behind that veil, there was no Ark of the Covenant, no Mercy Seat, and no glory cloud. It was a farce. But they held the people in bondage because of it.
In the book of Hebrews chapter number 10 it says in verse 10.
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
One time. We do not need another animal sacrifice. You may agree with me on many topics, but let’s all agree on the fact that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was totally sufficient for our sins personal and national, and to redeem creation back to Him.
Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
But what about those who continue their blood sacrifice of animals? It was an affront unto the sacrifice of Jesus Christ! I looked up the word “affront” in the dictionary. It says to encounter face to face, to insult openly and purposely, to slight, to confront defiantly. They did that. That Judaistic system, and it’s still going on today. If they do not accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as being sufficient as the God-man, then they are making an affront, to encounter face to face, to defiantly confront, to insult openly and purposely, and to slight the sacrifice.
Back to Hebrews chapter 10:
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
This phrase, “an unholy thing” means of no value, unholy, of no value. That’s what they considered the blood of Jesus Christ.
And hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing and hath done despite under the spirit of grace. “Despite” means to insult. This is a serious thing. Christian Zionism that promotes, believes, campaigns for, goes goofy after, and supports with money and trips over there, and padding the Jewish Prime Ministers or religious rulers or government rulers on the back, “We are with you. This is a match made in heaven,” and all such nonsense. And they’re promoting another Temple and another institution of animal blood sacrifice. They are insulting the Son of God. They are trampling His Blood underfoot, and they are rejecting, they are rejecting the Son of God, and considering His Blood of no value.
They even go further. They say, “Well, the Jews need a red heifer because they believe that under religious law every Jew is presumed to have had contact with the dead.” I’m reading this out of a book entitled On the Road to Armageddon by Timothy Weber. For lack of a red heifer’s ashes there is simply nothing to be done about it. No way for Jews to purify themselves to enter the Sacred Square. No way for Judaism to reclaim the Mount. No way to rebuild the Temple. So they need a red heifer that’s born over there. And there’s so many silly American cattlemen ranchers and cattlemen that are trying to raise a red heifer. What do we need a red heifer for? And this misguided cattleman from Mississippi transported all these heifers over there, all this cattle, hoping that a red heifer, a perfect one, will be born over there. How silly! It’s a cult, folks. It’s an absolute cult.
I made mention of this book. We do not handle this book, we do not sell this book, this is the only copy that I have, but you can look online on Amazon and search for this book. I think it’s still available: On the Road to Armageddon: How Evangelicals Became Israel’s Best Friend. It’s very informative. It’ll bring you up to date with a lot of names and places. It’s written by Timothy Weber. Every one of these television evangelists needs to read that book. It’s well worth the read.
Another thing about Christian Zionism is that they supplant Christ as being the focal point of history. What do they do? They make the Jews the focal point of history. In Revelation 19 in verse number 10 it says.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
But yet Clarence Larkin, Arno C. Gaebelein, and many of these ministers that are writing these books, mainly television evangelists are writing these books promoting Christian Zionism, are saying that the Jewish people and that land over there is the focal point of all prophecy. It’s not! Jesus Christ is the focal point of prophecy! The issue is what are you going to do with Jesus? It’s not what are you going to do with the Jewish people. Because folks, the Jews are not Israel anyway. They’re not.
So we see where Christian Zionism is a delusion. It’s a lie. It’s an oxymoron. Jesus Christ and the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Folks I pray that I have said something that would be encouraging to somebody that’s in this cult to get out. And there’s a lot more to it, because Christian Zionism, as some of the government leaders of the State of Israel have said, We could not exist without the American Christian support. Moral support, political support, and a lot of their money.”
Folks, we need the Lord Jesus to come, the true Messiah, to set up His Kingdom, and destroy every idol that man has built. And unfortunately the Christian World, especially as I see it in a America, is irredeemable, it’s over the hill with falsehood, delusions, deceptions, lies, and the biggest one right now is Christian Zionism that is gotten us in trouble in the Middle East. They’re constantly lobbying our congressmen and our senators to send more money, send more money, send more money. That’s our tax dollars which could be used at home to help the poor, close the border, and do many other things.
