Before the late 1800s, beliefs about Israel were different. CI Scofield, a controversial figure, published a Bible promoting pro-Israel views. This Bible, backed by wealthy businessmen, influenced many young preachers. The idea of blessing Israel is based on Genesis 12, but Scofield's interpretation differs from the original text. Many Christians today follow Scofield's notes rather than New Testament teachings.

A version of the Bible was edited to include support for Israel, which has been used to rally evangelical backing for the country. However, this support contradicts biblical predictions of the antichrist ruling from Israel. Jews await their messiah, who Christians believe will be the antichrist. This contradiction raises questions about the true identity of the messiah and the implications of supporting Israel.

Bibles once served as family records, containing genealogies and significant events. This 1905 Bible predates the 1913 Scofield Bible, which introduced Zionist ideas that separated the church from Israel. The 1905 Bible includes a map labeled "Palestine," challenging claims that Palestine never existed. Palestinians, encompassing Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities, lived in Palestine, and Jesus was one of them. The narrative shifts to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, where violence against Christians occurred, followed by the infiltration of Palestine by European Ashkenazi Jews in the 1920s and 1930s. Lyndon B. Johnson smuggled weapons to support these groups. In 1948, the state of Israel was declared, marking a day of disaster for Palestinians, who continue to resist displacement from their land. The ongoing conflict is characterized by efforts to remove Palestinians from their homes.

Bibles once held family histories, with many Christian families keeping them for generations. A 1905 Bible shows a map labeled "Palestine," contradicting claims that Palestine never existed. Palestinians, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims, were citizens of Palestine, and Jesus was one of them. The term "Israel" historically referred to the people of God, not a political state. Following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Jewish groups infiltrated Palestine, leading to violence against local populations. In the 1940s, these groups declared the state of Israel, recognized by Harry S. Truman. This event marked the beginning of ongoing conflict, with Palestinians facing displacement and violence as they resist attempts to be driven from their homes.

The speaker discusses the Scofield Bible, claiming that its emergence is linked to a historical convergence of major events in the early 20th century. They state that around the time when the Federal Reserve was founded and the Balfour Declaration occurred, the Rothschild family recruited a pastor in the Deep South to produce a new version of the Bible—the Scofield Bible. According to the speaker, this Bible introduced new interpretations of biblical text. They assert that Jewish influence affected Christian interpretation through this edition, describing it as the origin of Judeo-Christian ideas and the concept that Israel represents the modern political nation of Israel as understood in the Bible. The speaker further claims that the Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. They assert that the Rothschilds owned the publisher responsible for distributing the Bible, identifying Oxford Press as the publisher. Because of these ownership and funding arrangements, the speaker contends that they had the ability to push the Scofield Bible into widespread circulation, across megachurches and across entire denominations of Christianity. As a result, the speaker concludes that Christianity was effectively “Jewified” through this process. Key points highlighted include: - The Scofield Bible was created in the early 1900s, coinciding with the founding of the Federal Reserve and the Balfour Declaration. - The Rothschild family hired a pastor in the Deep South to author a new Bible version (the Scofield Bible) with revised interpretations. - This edition introduced or popularized Judeo-Christian concepts and reinforced the idea that Israel today aligns with the Israel of the Bible. - The Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family and distributed through a publisher (identified as Oxford Press) that they owned, enabling its widespread adoption. - The widespread push of the Scofield Bible contributed to Christianity being “Jewified” across megachurches and denominations.

In the early nineteen hundreds, around the Federal Reserve’s founding and the Balfour Declaration, the Rothschild family hired a pastor in the Deep South who made a new version of the Bible called the Scofield Bible, with new interpretations. They didn't change Jewish influence. Yes. Literally. That's where Judeo Christianity kinda came from. And the idea that Israel is this modern Israel thing is the Israel of the Bible. It came from that Bible. And the Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. Then it was pushed because they owned the publisher that publishes like all the books. I think it was Oxford Press. And so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the mega churches across whole denominations of Christianity. And so that was when Christianity got kind of Jewified.

The Rothschilds purchased Jerusalem in 1829, establishing Israel with their support. The first Zionist Congress in 1897, chaired by Theodor Herzl, saw Jewish delegates from Europe agreeing that Palestine should be given to them. Herzl predicted that a world body would grant Palestine to the Jews, making him the father of the Jewish state. Manipulating European military powers, Palestine would be taken from the Ottomans by force. Herzl also claimed that wealthy Jews controlled the world, influencing governments and starting wars. In 1907, Dr. Wolfson echoed this sentiment in a New York Times article.

In 1829, the Rothschilds purchased Jerusalem, a key step in establishing Israel. The First Zionist Congress in 1897, led by Theodor Herzl, aimed to secure Palestine for Jews. Herzl predicted a world body would grant Palestine to Jews, manipulating European powers to take it from the Ottomans. He believed wealthy Jews controlled governments, starting wars and making peace at will. In 1907, Doctor Wolfson echoed this sentiment in the New York Times.

I found my grandmother's bible from 1935 with a map of the Holy Land on the back. It refers to the region as Palestine, not Israel. Palestine welcomed European Jewish refugees after World War 2, but they ended up taking the land and creating Israel. The atlas shows Palestine in 1933, but by 1946 it is labeled as Israel. It's important to note that this is not about Islam, but rather the history of Palestine from 1926.

The transcript argues that a global cabal, financed by the Rothschilds, orchestrated major upheavals to destabilize nations and expand their power. Key claims include: - The Russian Revolution was a cabal revenge on Russia, financed by the Rothschilds, with Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) as their frontman. Lenin, though Russian, was described as westernized after years in exile, and heavily influenced by Karl Marx, who was German. The text claims Marx’s Jesuit background and Jesuit influence on Lenin, citing various sources: Marx trained in a Jesuit school, tutored by Jesuits at the British Museum on the Tenets of Communism (as asserted by ex-Jesuit Alberto Rivera); Otto von Bismarck’s reference to Marx being under Jesuit control via Peter Bex; and that Lenin’s right-hand man, Felix Jorzynski, admired the Jesuits. It states Lenin formally readmitted the Jesuits into Russia in 1922, despite religion being prohibited in communism, and asserts the Jesuits’ origin of communism through Paraguay’s 17th–18th century reductions as a model of communist governance. The New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia is cited to describe Jesuit-inspired communal land and property arrangements, and the text claims the term “social justice” was invented by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli Dazellio. Lenin is labeled a Jesuit puppet intended to destabilize Russia, with quotes attributed to Lenin about Russia and freedom that embody hostility toward the state. The transcript asserts the Russian Revolution was a Jesuit attack driven by revenge, with the Bolshevists as the tool, comparing them to the Jacobins and noting millions died in 1917–1923. - A parallel narrative about events in the United States describes the Federal Reserve (founded in 1913 and controlled by cabal families including the Rothschilds) as central to global control. It claims the wealthiest opponents of the Fed died in the Titanic sinking; the Fed’s expansion of the money supply 1914–1919 led to bank failures and consolidations, and 1929’s Wall Street crash caused massive bank bankruptcies and a further contraction of credit, described as the “greatest robbery in history.” The text asserts a planned and ongoing manipulation of money supply by the Rothschilds and that Congressman McFadden was poisoned when he began impeachment proceedings against Fed bankers. It claims the 1933 gold seizure (Executive Order 6102) enabled further monetary manipulation, and asserts the income tax (established 1913) is illegal. - The rise of Adolf Hitler is presented as a Rothschild-backed manipulation: his alleged parentage is linked to Unsung Salomon von Rothschild via a possible liaison with Maria Anna Schigelkruber (and Alois Hitler’s name change). The Munich Post pamphlet alleging Jewish blood in Hitler’s veins is cited, and investigations into Hitler’s parentage are described as attempts to erase evidence of Rothschild involvement. Hitler’s alignment with Jesuit influence is emphasized, including praise for Ignatius of Loyola and the imitation of Jesuit hierarchical discipline in the SS under Himmler, with absolute obedience as a theme. The narrative claims the Nazis’ suppression of opposition and the genocide of Jews, Gypsies, and others were supported by a propagandistic machine led by Goebbels. - Postwar claims about Palestine and Israel are included: the 1917 Balfour Declaration granting a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine is described as a strategic chess move by the cabal, with Lord Rothschild and the Rothschilds as beneficiaries, enabling a later conflict between Jews and Palestinians. The text asserts the migration to Israel was planned by the cabal in 1917, and that many wars (Vietnam, Cold War) were instigated and financed on both sides by the cabal to perpetuate fear and subservience. The concluding line emphasizes the cabal’s guiding principles—hatred, revenge, disdain—and cites The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as a guiding document.

The word "Israel" originated from the Bible, referring to Jacob after his struggle with an angel. It can be interpreted as a believer or group of believers in God, rather than a place. Sabetai Zevi, claiming to be the messiah, attempted to resettle Jews in Palestine in the 17th century. However, his arrest led to the development of the Frankism movement and a more political form of Zionism. Despite opposition from rabbis, Zionists gained support from the British crown and were funded by the Rothschild banking dynasty. The political intent to recreate Israel was made official in 1897, and British troops seized control of Palestine in 1917. The United Nations granted parts of Palestine to Zionists in 1947, resulting in the displacement and mistreatment of Palestinians. The Zionists, mainly Ashkenazi Jews, have support from American megachurches and Christian evangelicals who believe in the rebuilding of Solomon's temple. However, the Al Aqsa Mosque, a significant Islamic site, stands in the way. The choice between peace and conflict remains.

The word "Israel" in the Bible refers to believers in God, not a place. Sabbatai Zevi tried to resettle Jews in Palestine in 1666 but was arrested. Zionism became political, supported by the British crown and Rothschild banking dynasty. In 1917, the Balfour Declaration led to British control of Palestine for Zionists. The UN granted parts of Palestine to Zionists in 1947, causing Palestinian displacement. Zionists, mostly Ashkenazi Jews, have Christian evangelical support. The temple of Solomon must be rebuilt for the messiah to come, conflicting with the Al Aqsa Mosque. Choose peace over conflict.

In 1908, Oxford University Press published the Scofield Reference Bible, a false and misleading interpretation of the Christian text. This bible aimed to promote the idea that the future state of Israel was the path to God. The book gained significant influence in American seminaries and Bible schools, shaping the beliefs of future pastors and teachers. American Christianity became increasingly Zionist after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The Scofield Reference Bible, edited by Cyrus I Scofield, contained numerous footnotes that distorted scripture, claiming that God promised the land of Israel to the present-day state forever. These interpretations were used to justify Christian Zionism and support for Israel. However, these claims were based on false interpretations and lacked historical accuracy.

The Scofield Reference Bible, published by Oxford University Press in 1908, aimed to reinterpret Christian texts to support the idea of a Jewish state in Israel. This book was promoted in American seminaries, shaping the beliefs of future pastors. Following the establishment of Israel in 1948, American Christianity became increasingly aligned with Zionism. The Scofield Bible's footnotes distort biblical texts to suggest that God promised land to modern Israel, despite the fact that the nation did not exist during Abraham's time. Critics like Philip Morrow and Dr. Furman Curley have warned against the dangers of Christian Zionism, linking it to militarism and conflict in the Middle East. They argue that true Christian teachings advocate for peace, not war, and caution against doctrines that could lead to violence against others.

The Jewish kingdom lasted over 70 years, but now Israel is 75 years old, causing panic among Jews. Historical attempts to rebuild the temple failed due to divine intervention, as described in various chronicles. Despite this, some, like pastor Greg Locke, believe in rebuilding the temple based on the Scofield Bible.

The video argues that evangelical support for Israel in the United States largely stems from a late-19th-century theological system that crystallized around the Schofield Reference Bible. The Schofield Bible is portrayed as a Cliff’s Notes for the Bible used by Christian Zionists to justify support for Israel, even as Israel is described as committing violence against innocents and Christians. A central claim is that the Schofield Bible was funded by Wall Street elites and backed by early Zionists long before the state of Israel existed. Cyrus Scofield, the Bible’s namesake, is described as a controversial figure. He is labeled by evangelical standards as a scoundrel: a philanderer who abandoned his wife and two daughters, sued frequently for fraud, and served time in prison for forgery. He was ousted as district attorney in disgrace after lying about his Confederate military record. Despite this, he became a prominent Bible teacher and later a celebrated Christian convert, though the narrative notes he never publicly corrected the stories about his supposed Confederate bravery or his wartime decorations. Scofield’s early life is summarized: raised in Michigan after his mother’s early death, he moved with his sister to Tennessee, briefly joined the Confederate Army but requested to leave, and shifted into religious circles after moving to St. Louis, where he married Leontine, a Catholic of French descent. He did not convert to Catholicism and later complained about her Catholicism. He had two daughters and a son who died in infancy. His ascent into religious influence came despite questions about his schooling and integrity, aided by his sister’s connections which helped him win election to the Kansas legislature and later serve as the District Attorney for the District of Kansas (1873). Fraud accusations continued, including forgery, but he eventually was pardoned and rose as a biblical leader. Scofield’s conversion is linked to a business figure in a mythic account, and he moved to Dallas where he remarried to Hetty after leaving his first wife. His network extended into Dwight L. Moody’s revival circles and the Niagara Bible Conference in 1878, where a new dispensational theology emerged. This theology divides history into eras, with Israel slated for a pivotal future role and the belief that the world would not be converted during the current dispensation—the church would decline before Christ's return and the millennial age would begin with Israel restored to its land. This “Israel-centered” prophecy would become central to American Christianity, even though at the time there was no modern Israel (it would come in 1948). Scofield’s influence extended into elite circles: he joined the Lotto’s Club in New York City, a club of financiers and writers including figures like Mark Twain, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and Samuel Untermeyer, a Zionist heavyweight. It was through the Lotto’s Club that Untermeyer facilitated Scofield’s connection to Zionist goals and to publishers (Oxford Press) that issued the Schofield Bible. Scofield then traveled to England and reportedly to the Holy Land, though travel dates are uncertain. The Schofield Bible’s publication and widespread distribution—funded by Wall Street real estate magnates and Zionist elites—produced a widespread, enduring belief in a distinct Jewish track in Scripture and the idea that Israel should play a central role in end-times prophecy. The Bible significantly altered American Christianity by systemizing, funding, and distributing a dispensational theology with Israel at its core. The video closes by inviting viewer feedback on this history.

A new political military Israel was promoted through the Scofield Study Bible, funded by the Rothschilds, to gain Christian support for a one world government. However, the true promise to Abraham was a heavenly kingdom, not a physical nation. The misunderstanding of Israel's purpose led to conflict in the Middle East. The real descendants of Abraham are those who walk faithfully with God, not a specific ethnic group. This spiritual seed is what truly matters, not political or military power.

Acts seven forty three. You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Remphon, images which you made to worship, and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. "Yeah. It's a false god." "Where does the star of David come from?" "Yeah. It's not biblical." "I doubt you can find it. Ask a Jew. That's anti Semitic." "Meyer Amschel Bauer, born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1744, was a moneylender and a goldsmith on Jew Street whose shop had a sign up front with a red hexagram on it." "Eventually, he would change his name to Rothschild, which is German or red sign." "Not only were the loans bigger, but they were secured by the nation's taxes." "It's the 2,400,000,000 evangelical Christians that have adopted the Schofield translation and have been preached to by the womanizer, adulterer, you know, woman beating, you know, Greg Locke." "Let's say Israel does what I think they should have done on day one, make a parking lot out of the whole thing and just go in and deal with it." "One thing we can say for certain, it wasn't Israel."

Text called the Kabbalah were transcribed by rabbi Isaac the blind in Provence in the South Of France during the twelfth century. For the first time in its six thousand year history, the ancient magical techniques of invoking fallen demonic angels and killing someone using the evil eye were put down on paper. The cabalistic writings of Isaac the Blind fell into the hands of a group of nine French noblemen. These noblemen became known as the Knights Templar. The word cabal, meaning a group who conspire together, comes from the word kabbalah. One such cabal who were to later inspire a whole armada of black magic cults and Freemasonry were the so called knights Templar. They laughingly called themselves the poor knights of Christ, but these men were far from poor. They deliberately styled themselves as monks so that they could go about their Luciferian cabalistic studies and conduct business without being taxed nor aroused suspicion from the Vatican. The cabalistic higher secrets of ritual sodomy, the evil eye, chanting incantations, necromancy, blood sacrifice, and invoking the fallen angels in service to Lucifer fascinated the French knights Templar. They realized that the Kabbalah originated in Palestine. And once they had realized that the Kabbalah was the key to untold spiritual magical power, they cunningly planned a bloody crusade to Palestine in order to search for more Kabbalistic and magical artifacts. They eventually discovered and looted the Temple Of Solomon. Solomon was a biblical magician king who is accredited with inspiring large parts of the corpus of works we now know as the Kabbalah. The Knights Templar arrived in Palestine with one main goal, to stop the Muslims from gaining any knowledge about the Kabbalah. Historical Islamic oral accounts from the twelfth century testify to a sickening crusade of plunder, torture, murder, and sexual depravity. The Knights Templar, once they had discovered the magical teachings of the Kabbalah, were dedicated utterly to destroying its origins so that they might hold its secrets exclusively. Archaeologists have found ample evidence of tunnels constructed by the Templars in Jerusalem. The Templar, including silver caskets containing desiccated heads and skulls. The Knights Templar referred to these heads as Baphomet's. They were placed at the center of a round table. Templars would then conduct a seance invoking the spirit of Lucifer to speak through the head. The most damning information exposed them as antichrists. Several Knights Templar confessed that the image of Jesus was spat upon and trampled during cabalistic rituals, a satanic tradition which is still practiced to this day at lodges of the Ordo Templi Orientis, which was once headed by Alastair Crowley's.

"A 'false and intentionally misleading bible' called the Scofield Reference Bible was published by Oxford University Press in nineteen o eight, 'Its mission was to inject into the Christian text reinterpretations that made the future state of Israel the way to God.' The book 'was to be a foundational document upon which Christian Zionism ... would begin its methodical growth by deception.' 'Note on page 19 that the footnotes dwarf the text.' The footnotes claim, 'God made an unconditional promise of blessing through Abram's seed to the nation of Israel to inherit a specific territory forever,' and speak of 'a promise of blessing upon the individuals and nations who bless Abram's descendants and a curse lay upon those who persecute the Jew.' Critics say, 'For a nation to commit the sin of antisemitism brings inevitable judgment.' 'There was no Jew in the time of Abram.' 'The present day Israel... would be born of force forty years after his death.' Philip Morrow warned that 'the Schofield Bible' has 'usurped the place of authority that belonged to God's Bible alone.' Doctor Curley criticized Christian Zionism's effects."

The transcript argues that Oxford University Press launched a deliberate attack on Christianity by publishing the Schofield Reference Bible in 1908, a Bible whose notes purportedly inject reinterpretations that connect the future state of Israel to access to God. It states the book’s importance led OUP to open its first American branch, publishing it and promoting it through key American seminaries and Bible schools, thereby shaping future pastors’ beliefs to align with a peacemaking tradition favorable to the state of Israel. The speakers claim many pastors were unaware of the danger at the time, and that the Schofield Bible would later be used by secular powers to steer Christians toward political and financial servitude to present-day Israel. They assert American Christianity became increasingly Zionized after 1948 with the appearance of the state of Israel, aided by Oxford University Press’s Zionist influence and its New York publishing branch, which published the Schofield Reference Bible as a foundational document for Christian Zionism and evangelicalism, contributing to its growth through deception. The narrative links the founders of world Zionism, especially Chaim Weizmann, to efforts to involve the United States in World War I and to gain land in Palestine, arguing that a small number of dominant American scientists influenced President Wilson to enter the war, resulting in substantial American casualties while enabling Zionist aims in Palestine after the Balfour Declaration. The Schofield Reference Bible is described as copyrighted in 1909, an old and new testament with many notes added originally in the Old Testament, with later additions in the New Testament and a radical 1967 revision. The cover features Cyrus I. Scofield and an editorial board including James M. Gray, president of Moody Bible Institute, and other seminary leaders. Distribution allegedly occurred through seminaries, influencing new pastors who returned to churches with the Schofield Bible in hand. A critical examination of a page from Genesis 12:3 is used to illustrate the alleged distortions: the verse, part of the Torah and quoted in the Koran, is presented as a basis for Christians and Zionists to claim that present-day Israel should own all land in the Middle East beginning with Palestine. The 1967 Scofield edition reportedly contains more footnotes than the 1909 version, with a footnote claiming an unconditional promise of land to Israel forever, which the speakers assert is not stated in the passage. They argue that the footnotes render Abraham’s promise as a perpetual land grant to Israel, and that the note uses the later term “Jew” unjustly to describe biblical figures from before the existence of Judah or the Jews. The transcript contends that Oxford’s notes imply blessings or curses based on support for Israel, and that a nation’s supposed sin for not aiding Israel would invite divine judgment, a claim the speakers label as a form of antisemitism manufactured by Christian Zionism. They argue that the concept of national sin is flawed, and that individuals alone sin, not nations. Historical figures like Philip Morrow and Doctor F. Furman Curley are cited as Orthodox Christian critics who warned against dispensationalism and Christian Zionism. Morrow warned in 1927 that Schofield Bible had usurped authority from Scripture, while Curley in 1983 linked premillennialist advocacy of Israel to wars in the Middle East and urged Christians to seek peace rather than war, criticizing figures like Hal Lindsey and Jerry Falwell. The final note emphasizes that Jesus’ simple New Testament teachings do not support Christians taking life abroad, urging a reconsideration of the doctrine behind Christian Zionism.

The goal is to establish a one-world government with its headquarters in Jerusalem, which has ancient spiritual significance. Historically, Palestine was a peaceful region with Muslims, Jews, and Christians coexisting until political forces, particularly Zionism, disrupted this harmony. The Rothschilds collaborated with Christian figures like Cyrus Scofield to promote a new doctrine through the Scofield Study Bible, suggesting that a political Israel was essential for the fulfillment of biblical promises. This led many Christians to support the state of Israel without understanding the underlying agenda. Jesus taught that His kingdom is not of this world and emphasized spiritual worship over political or military aspirations. The true fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham is found in a heavenly kingdom, not a physical nation. Understanding this distinction is crucial for grasping the current dynamics in Israel and the broader agenda at play.

Rick discusses a 1905 Bible to make a point about Palestine and Zionism. He notes that every church and Christian family had a Bible containing family genealogy, weddings, baptisms, and burials, passed down through generations. He points out that this particular Bible was published in 1905. He then contrasts it with the Schofield Bible, which wasn’t published until 1913, and mentions that he has an original 1913 Schofield in his office, calling it “the introduction of the Zionist heresies about a future state of Israel and separating the church from Israel and all that rapture stuff.” He emphasizes that this Bible is a pre-Schofield edition, with no Schofield notes. Opening the Bible, he shows a map of the Holy Land on page 13, and states, “Palestine,” noting that it says Palestine and omits “Israel.” He addresses listeners who claim that “there’s never been a Palestine,” specifically naming John Hagee as an example of those who claim it. He argues that the 1905 Bible map clearly shows Palestine, and asserts that most Bibles from that era had a map of Palestine. He asserts that “Palestine is in the Bible itself in the Old Testament.” Rick frames the map as evidence against what he calls propaganda or confusion purportedly planted by Zionists in the minds of millions of Christians in America. He repeats the claim that the Bible map from 1905 includes Palestine, using this to counter the belief that Palestine never existed. He concludes by affirming, “I have a map, Rick. There it is,” signaling that the map in his pre-Schofield Bible supports his point. Key points: - A 1905 Bible contains a map labeled “Palestine,” not “Israel.” - Schofield Bible (1913) is distinguished as introducing Zionist-era views of a future Israeli state and separation of the church from Israel. - The speaker asserts that Palestine is present in the Old Testament and that many Bibles of the era carried maps of Palestine. - The map is presented as counterevidence to claims that Palestine never existed, and is used to argue against what he describes as Zionist propaganda in American Christianity.

Israel was created to bring about the battle of Armageddon, a war with nuclear weapons that will lead to a one world government. If Americans don't stop it, the battle will start around 1996.

A version of the Bible was edited to include support for Israel, which has been used to rally evangelical backing for the country. This contradicts Christian beliefs, as supporting Israel could align with the arrival of the antichrist according to biblical predictions. Jews await their messiah, who they believe will rule the world from Israel, while Christians predict the antichrist will do the same. This creates a paradox in evangelical support for Israel.
