Christian Zionists believe that in order to fulfill Biblical prophecy, Israel must conquer most of the Middle East. They are a growing force in American politics with ties to many powerful pro-Israel groups in Washington. Once considered a marginal doctrine among evangelicals, the dispensationalist theology of Christian Zionism includes a belief in the rapture, when the faithful are to be lifted up to Heaven while the rest of humanity—including most of the Jews—will perish.
Warning: Graphic Images abound
Joel Landon Watts is a Masters of Theological Studies student with a focus in Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific ideals of the past century. Currently, he is a TA for Old Testament at United Theological Seminary under Dr. Vivian Johnson, Associate Professor of Old Testament. His first book, Rhetorical Strategies of the Evangelist: Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark, is expected to be published by Wipf and Stock early next year. He is currently co-editing a book on moving from Fear to Faith (Energion, 2013).

Hi P. thanks for sharing that video…
We really have to put a stop to all this “dispensational Zionist love” for the Jews and for the state of Israel…
Daniel 9:27 is the key…This passage proves that there is no boogeyman/beast/anti-christ coming for Israel.It proves that there is no seven year tribulation either.Therefore no pre-trib rapture.Therefore no reason for this twisted “love” for Israel!!!
Wild grafted in branches will not fly away apart from the original branches or from the Olive tree that supports ALL of the branches!!!
What pleasure would a beast/anti-christ have in persecuting broken off: yet to be grafted back in branches anyway?

Sorry, Wb. I’ll make a note of it.
I would say that any adversary that the Church has would rather focus attention away from witnessing to all, to a blinded people.
But see, I’ve known plenty of dispensationalists who believe they need to evangelize Jews as well as everyone else. I personally see nothing wrong with honoring the land of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, David, and Jesus.

Wb, there is a problem when Dispensationalists stand in front of a crowd of Gentiles and tells them that they must first go to the Jew, and leave the Gentiles alone. I do see a problem with honoring the Land, because it is not our continuing city. I am a deep South Southerner, and I feel a certain connection to our homeland, but what they are doing goes way beyond what we are allowed to do in the bible
There is a problem with anyone who would tell folks to not evangelize anyone. There’s just something wrong with that. But that doesn’t mean they
I think Israel will continue until Christ’s return. And I think it will be used of God in the process. But I dont think any of us have it right.

“But that doesn’t mean they” = “But that doesn’t mean they are wrong about everything.”
