The Deception of Christian Zionism.

The Deception of Christian Zionism.

According to wikipedia
----
Christian Zionism is a belief among some Christians that the return of the Jews to the Palestine and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. It overlaps with, but is distinct from, the nineteenth century movement for the Restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land, which had both religiously and politically motivated supporters. The term Christian Zionism was popularised in the mid-twentieth century. Prior to that time the common term was Restorationism.
Some Christian Zionists believe that the "ingathering" of Jews in Israel is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus. This belief is primarily, though not exclusively, associated with Christian Dispensationalism. The idea that Christians should actively support a Jewish return to the Land of Israel, along with the parallel idea that the Jews ought to be encouraged to become Christian, as a means fulfilling a Biblical prophecy has been common in Protestant circles since the Reformation.
Many Christian Zionists believe that the people of Israel remain part of the chosen people of God, see also Dual-covenant theology, along with the ingrafted Gentile Christians[Romans 11:17-24 This has the added effect of turning Christian Zionists into supporters of Jewish Zionism

Zionism (Hebrew: , Tsiyonut) is a nationalist Jewish political movement that, in its broadest sense, calls for the self-determination of the Jewish people and a sovereign, Jewish national homeland. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zionist movement continues primarily to support and advocate on behalf of the Jewish state.
Zionism did not have a uniform ideology, but a plethora of ideologies: General Zionism, National-Religious Zionism, Labor Zionism, Revisionist Zionism, etc. Shimoni (1995) shows that there existed among the parties a common denominator: the claim to Eretz Israel as the national homeland of the Jews and as the legitimate focus for the national self-determination of the Jews.
Zionism is based on historical ties and religious traditions linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. Almost two millennia after the Jewish diaspora, the modern Zionist movement, beginning in the late 19th century, was mainly founded by secular Jews, largely as a response by Ashkenazi Jews (German Jews) to antisemitism and the Anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire.

In reality Zionism is a political ideology that sometimes masquerades as a religious ideology for political gain. In some cases it is a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the scriptures to get Christian support for the political ideology. Orthodox Jews believe that they have no claim to the Eritz until Messiah comes. Until such time The Eritz is The Lords and everything in it (Psalm 24:1) As the Wikipedia article on Zionism says was ‘mainly founded by secular Jews largely as a response …………. to antisemitism’ From this we can deduce that Zionism’s origins are secular and not religious. In fact it was founded as a response to Nazism. Nazism is an evil political ideology based on race and Zionism is an evil political ideology based on race.

The deception towards Christians is that God has kept his covenant with the Jews. God is not a bigamist. Christ has but one Bride and she is The Church.

Hebrews 8:13
By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

If the old covenant was soon to disappear in the first century there can’t be much left of it now. The Temple sacrifices disappeared in 70 AD because the system was obsolete. Dispensationalists don’t believe this. They believe that the temple mentioned in the book of Ezekiel needs to be built when the temple in Ezekiel is in fact The Church. They talk about the measurements that can be explained by Hebrew Numerology. But the heresy of the temple needing to be built is more serious than that because if the temple in Ezekiel is not the Church then Jesus is not the Messiah.

If the temple in Ezekiel is not the Church then Jesus is not the Messiah.

The fact that the temple in Ezekiel has not been physically built is the Jews best excuse for not accepting Jesus as the Messiah but as it is the Church it is an excuse that is not legitimate.

The Church is the temple.

1 Corinthians 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Ephesians 2:19-22
19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Also, if the temple in Ezekiel is not the Church then Jesus was not the final sacrifice and the epistles are just waffle. We could keep the gospels for the good rabbinic teaching .

Jesus is the final sacrifice.

Hebrews 7:27
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

.
Christian Zionist are also being deceived into believing that the state of Israel is in fulfilment to biblical prophecy. The prophecies they use were fulfilled in the time of Nehemiah.

Also, the promise was to Abraham and his ‘seed’ not ‘seeds’

Galatians 3:15-17
15Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. 17What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise

The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established.

Galatians 3:28-29
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

If you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s seed. If you do not belong to Christ you are not Abraham’s seed. It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s seed and if you do not belong to Christ you are not Abraham’s seed.


Abraham’s seed is Christ and those who belong to Christ. They are The people of God, a a royal priesthood and a holy nation.

God’s holy nation is The Church. The one nation under God there is and ever will be is The Christ’s Church.

The Church is Israel. The Church isn’t ‘spiritual’ Israel. The Church is Israel. The church is the people of Israel. . Israel was The Church and The Church is Israel. Israel is Abraham’s seed and Abraham’s seed is Christ and those who belong to him. We have come to Zion.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Hebrews 12:22
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
The Church is the bride of Christ. Christ is the bishop of our souls. The Bible says that a bishop must be a man of but one wife because Christ is a man of but one wife The Church. The Church is called The Bride of Christ, not A bride but THE bride.

The covenant is with Abraham and Abraham’s seed which is Christ. We belong to Christ because of Covenant.

God is The Faithful Husband.
