For the Christian reader …

There’s not the slightest hint of a Zionist theme in the New Testament. Everywhere you look in the Bible, you see Zionism held to exclusively by unbelievers, and rejected by spirit-filled Christians.

Netanyahu told the world last week, in his own words, what the Zionist Messiah looks like. Ruthless enough. Powerful enough. Strong enough. He described a conqueror, a Khan, a man who takes what he wants by force and calls it the will of God. The Jews have been waiting for that figure for two thousand years, and Christianity exists precisely because the real Messiah showed up and refused the job description. He took the cross instead of the throne, and he told his followers to pick up theirs. The irony is that he will very much resemble the warlord they wanted the first time, but the enemy He’ll be conquering is those who rejected Him.

The Christian who understands that cannot be a Zionist. At least, not a coherent or honest one. The religion itself won’t allow it. The Holy Spirit, when he shows up, kills the question. He did it at Pentecost, and he will do it again every time a believer actually reads the Book they claim to believe.

Christianity is an anti-Zionist religion. It was from the beginning. The evidence is in the text, in the history, in the flight to Pella, and in the Apostle Paul’s cheerful description of his entire ethnic inheritance as a pile of rubbish. And the evidence is in the words of Benjamin Netanyahu himself, who accidentally explained the precise theological error that got Jesus crucified while trying to justify a war with Iran. Jesus wasn’t then, and never will be, the Zionist they wanted. Instead, He’s the Savior they rejected. And when He returns, he’s not establishing a mere Kingdom in the land that was once ancient Israel. He’s establishing a kingdom over the entire world, not as the Jewish Messiah alone, but as the global One.
