A partnership between Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Friends of Zion Museum led to an unprecedented visit, marking the first time Israel officially partnered with 1,000 strategic pastors to commission them as ambassadors to combat antisemitism and reach the youth of their generation. Dr. Mike Evans states that Israel's fight is not just on the battlefield, and that there is currently an ideological war that Israel's losing, so they need the evangelicals and the Zionists to fight an ideological war. One of the gathering's goals is to strengthen Christian support during a time of growing global antisemitism, with the message that the pulpit must speak louder than the propaganda. A speaker emphasizes that pastors should go to their pulpits to speak with clarity and boldness, pushing back on the antisemitism and bigotry directed toward Jewish people and toward the people of Israel. Another speaker notes that the pulpit has become quiet about these issues, and that cultural voices have spoken louder than pastors on these topics, making it motivating to return to the message of who Israel is to the Lord and to reaffirm Christians’ role in supporting and praying for Israel. There is a concern about a growing cancer within the evangelical movement in America, where people think Israel doesn’t matter and that nothing biblical supports the relationship to Israel, which is described as very dangerous. Ambassador Huckabee, a former pastor, warns of rising danger in the church, arguing that the idea that God will break His covenant or has broken His covenant with the Jewish people borders on blasphemy, because if God will break His covenant with the Jewish people, he questions what would prevent Him from breaking His covenant with Christians as well.

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.

America must consider the price of its alliance with Israel and how it has benefited. Contrary to claims that supporting Israel blesses America, the speaker argues that Christian Zionism is a heresy originating from the Scofield Bible and fueled by televangelists. The speaker claims Jews lost their chosen status by rejecting Jesus, transferring it to Christians. Despite trillions of dollars in American aid, the speaker suggests America has not been blessed. They cite the rise of LGBT values, abortion, economic decline due to open borders and mass immigration, and increased crime and drug abuse as evidence. The speaker claims Tel Aviv is the gay capital of the world and corrupts other nations. The speaker claims real Christians, including those in occupied Palestine, reject Christian Zionism, citing the Jerusalem Declaration. The speaker concludes that Christian Zionism is a satanic cult that has cost America lives and treasure. The speaker urges Christians to stand with Jesus and act accordingly.

The speaker claims that the "Zionist occupation of Palestine that calls itself Israel" is built on lies and theft, having stolen the name "Israel." The name originates from the Old Testament, where Jacob was renamed Israel, and his descendants were the Israelites. Those who accepted covenants with God were part of the House of Israel, later the Christian Church established by Jesus. Rejecters of Jesus were the Jews, a pejorative term for those who rejected Christ. The speaker asserts that the true Israel is the Church, not a birthright or DNA privilege. Christian Zionists are deceived in believing today's Jews are still in covenant with God from the old covenant with Abraham. The speaker rejects Calvinist theology and predestination. In 1948, Zionists stole the name Israel to mislead evangelicals and religious Jews. Only religious fanatics in Puritan circles supported Zionism, misinterpreting scriptures. The speaker believes evangelicals are not Christians, the chosen people are not chosen, and Israel is not Israel. The true Israel is a spiritual fellowship of people with faith who follow Jesus. The Zionist occupation is a Jewish military dictatorship that has fooled religious fanatics and the secular masses.

Benjamin Netanyahu relies on US support to veto UN resolutions against Israel and for military assistance. The idea of Israel as a biblical prophecy has been present since the 1970s, particularly among evangelical Christians in the US. Amid the recent conflict in Gaza, American evangelical pastors continue to reference biblical prophecies. Christian Zionism, which predates Jewish Zionism, is a belief that the return of Jewish people to Israel will lead to the second coming of Jesus Christ. This movement heavily influences US foreign policy, with over 100 evangelical members in Congress. Evangelical support for Israel extends to fundraising, organizing tours of the occupied West Bank, and opposing the two-state solution. Netanyahu uses scripture to appease his main supporters, the Christian Zionist movement.

It's strange that many Christian conservatives/nationalists are anti-Israel, given Israel's importance to both Jews and Christians, especially concerning Jesus's Jewish heritage and biblical history. Organized tours to Israel often have more Christians than Jews. All Jewish and Christian people should care about preserving Israel to preserve biblical history. Christian history is tied to Jewish history; Christianity wouldn't exist without Judaism. God's covenant with Abraham remains with Israel and the Jewish people. Israel fights America's battles by pushing back radical Islamic jihadism. Judeo-Christian values connect Christianity, the Jewish people, Israel, and the United States. The threat in America is real; if pro-Israel events aren't safe in Texas, nowhere in America is safe for Jews or Christians who support Israel.

You can't be a Christian and anti-Jewish, as Jesus was Jewish. However, being pro-Israel implies being pro-Zionist. The belief that the Jewish people are still God's chosen people is incorrect. The New Testament indicates that the church is now God's people. The parable of the vineyard illustrates that Israel's leaders rejected God's son, leading to the kingdom being taken away from them. Therefore, the idea that the Israelites remain God's chosen people contradicts Jesus' message about their rejection.

The speaker argues that “Christians evangelists here in America, which almost all of them are Republicans, they probably all gonna vote for Trump” and that they are “very poor Israel.” He says, without Christianity, the U.S. has little to do with Israel, noting “The only things they are helping us is because of religion reason.” He contends they’re “not doing it for us. They are doing it only for themselves.” He warns, “Make no mistake. They all believe that once we will go back to the holy land and JC Penny will show up to redeem the world, he will put us all to be burned in hell,” because “we've never accepted him, and we won't accept him.” He questions why “a lot of the people who made Aliyah, it's Christian money,” adding “They get hundreds of millions of dollars donation from them.” He says “the Messiah would come,” but “They just have the wrong identity of the Messiah. That's it. They believe that it's actually JC.” “They would dump all the Christian symbols you know well because it would be so obvious that it's all fake. Mhmm. Rabbi Thay”

Christian Zionism believes in the return of all Jews to Israel, the rebuilding of the temple, and the worship of the antichrist. It also includes beliefs in a coming tribulation, rapture, and the destruction of non-Christians. Despite the antisemitism in Christian Zionism, the US Zionist establishment values its support. Jewish Zionists see Christian Zionists as tools, while Christian Zionists view Jews as sacrificial.

Many people follow the belief of Zionism or dispensationalism, which does not acknowledge Jesus. They are considered antichrists and the Bible refers to them as the synagogue of Satan. The promises made to Abraham were also made to Christ, making Christians, whether Jew or Gentile, the heirs of those promises. The nation of Israel today, where most do not believe in Jesus, are not the seed of Abraham and therefore not entitled to the promises.

Judaism is a centuries-old religion, while Zionism is a newer movement that transformed religion into nationalism and materialism. Non-religious Jews who disliked Judaism created Zionism, initially considering Uganda as a location for a Jewish state. They used Jewish symbols and names to legitimize their existence and silence criticism by labeling it as anti-Semitic. However, this is far from the truth. Muslim countries, like Turkey, have historically been supportive of Jewish people. Zionism goes against the teachings of the Torah, which forbids Jews from having their own state. The creation of Israel in Palestine, a land already inhabited by Palestinians, contradicts the principles of compassion and non-violence. Many Jews, including rabbis, oppose Zionism and its actions.

Bible is crystal clear. Jesus said to the Jews, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. In the Old Testament, Israel was God's chosen people. God chose Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he used the nation of Israel as a pattern; they were supposed to be a light to Gentiles. They failed in that mission. The Lord Jesus Christ came as the Messiah, and he came unto his own and his own received him not. The Bible squarely places the blame for the death of Jesus on the Jews. In Acts, the Romans protect Christians, while the Jews try to rip them apart and stone them; Romans restore law and order. This is why I reject Zionism and being pro Israel. I read the Bible cover to cover, 20 times, and I didn't see it because you're brainwashed.

Two thousand years of Christian history have been horrible to the Jewish people. Unspeakable atrocities have been committed against your family under the banner of the cross and in the name of Jesus. Even with many lifetimes of repentance, it would not be sufficient for all that has happened. Yet tonight there is a message: a new breed of Christian is alive in the world today. There is a new breed of Christian that says, along with you, for Zion's sake, I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake, I will not be still. We have been divided. There is fear. Evangelicals are all missionaries who want to return everyone to Jerusalem so the apocalypse can come, or to have nefesh ben nefesh have a good year so Jesus can return. We know the stereotypes. Jesus both unites and divides us. For Christians, Jesus is our favorite Jew; for most Jews, he’s the cousin you don’t talk about at Pesach. But in this pivotal moment of history, we have an opportunity not to be divided, but to be unified. Everyone in this room—Christian and Jew—prays for the same thing: the coming of Mashiach. May he come soon and quickly and in our day, so we can all sing. And when Mashiach comes, there will be a great press conference in Jerusalem. The BBC and the New York Times will not be invited. The Jerusalem Post will conduct the interview with Mashiach and ask, is this your first visit or your second? The answer will be yes. None of us need to be ashamed or embarrassed or wrong. We are together ascending the hill of the Lord. Until Mashiach comes, we must unite and work. We must become partners—evangelical Christians, eagle's wings, and Jews—as partners in the divine will, working as never before, because we face the same threat. We face radical Islamic ideology on one hand, and radical wokeism and communism on the other hand, an unholy alliance against Western civilization. Against that unholy alliance, there must be a holy alliance that arises of Jews and Christians working together for the betterment of all the human family. It must happen, and it must happen now. Speaker 1: I’m now going to invite CEO of the Jerusalem Post, Ibn Bar Ashkenazi, to give the Shield of David Award to Bishop Stearns.

Antisemitism is described as a virus, a contagion that exists in the body politic and can lie dormant like chickenpox. It can reemerge as shingles under stress or with age, but inoculation can prevent that recurrence. So antisemitism is viewed as an ancient phenomenon, ever-present over time. Historically, it began after the death of Christ, with accusations that the Jews killed Christ and that the Jewish religion wasn’t legitimate because Jews didn’t accept Christ or Mohammed. This cast doubt on Judaism as a legitimate religion and helped fuel the Crusades, the expulsion in Tishbaab, and the Inquisitions. Across centuries, these dynamics produced horrific consequences. Following the age of reason, as people came to understand that the sun doesn’t revolve around the earth and that the earth isn’t flat, the view shifted to whether Judaism was a legitimate religion versus whether the Jewish race itself was legitimate. Antisemitism then metastasized into a race-based form of hate, which culminated in the Shoah. In the wake of that tragedy and the exposure of its injustices, the emphasis shifted again. The claim no longer focused on religion being illegitimate or the race being illegitimate; instead, attention turned to the Jewish state. The assertion became that the Jewish state is illegitimate, which is described here as anti-Zionism, equated with antisemitism.

Christian Zionism, an influential movement in the US, is often overlooked. It predates Jewish Zionism and has gained popularity since the 19th century. Figures like Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman, who read the Bible daily, are believers in biblical prophecies that promise land to Israel. This movement has expanded from elites to the masses, particularly with the rise of far-right evangelical Christians in the 1950s. They form a significant base for the Republican Party, supporting Israel fervently. However, their theology is both pro-Israel and anti-Semitic, as they believe that supporting Israel will lead to Armageddon, where only a small number of Jews will be saved. Despite the majority of Jewish support going to Democrats, the Republican Party remains more extreme in its backing of Israel due to this base.

I want to address who pro-Zionists are and clarify some common misconceptions. Being pro-Israel isn't about being anti-Jewish, as Jesus himself was Jewish. However, the New Testament indicates that the nation of Israel is no longer God's chosen people; that title now belongs to the church. True Jews are those who follow the Lord's laws and ethics in their hearts, not just outwardly. In fact, those who reject Jesus are like the sons of Hagar, not of Sarah. There's neither Jew nor Gentile, but Christ, and Christ's kingdom doesn't favor any human government, and we shouldn't prioritize any nation over Christ. When we see children being killed, whether Israeli or Palestinian, it breaks Jesus' heart. We should be pro-Jesus and his kingdom and remember our brothers and sisters in Christ, even Palestinian Christians.

Zionism relies on antisemitism for support, with organizations like the Anti Defamation League inflating incidents to stay relevant. Israel fuels antisemitism, creating a hostile environment for Muslims, Christians, and even Jews who just want to live normally.

It's a pretty known fact that the Jews are God's chosen people, that the Jewish homeland is Israel, that the Jews believe in the Old Testament, and that the Old Testament is about Jews. However, almost none of these facts are true. "Nowhere in the Bible does it call the Jews God's chosen people." "The Jews don't really believe in the Old Testament, and only maybe 5% of the people in the Old Testament can even be considered Jewish." "the expression anti Semite literally means against Shem or his descendants. However, being anti Jewish isn't the same as being anti Semitic." "Shem is the son of Noah, the guy who built the ark when Mesopotamia flooded." "Except Abraham has never been a Jew nor will he ever be a Jew."

Pastor Anderson claims that the Jews are not God's chosen people in the New Testament, but rather Christians are, regardless of nationality. He asserts the modern nation of Israel is a fraud and has been replaced by a spiritual nation of believers. He references Ephesians 2:11, which states that Gentiles were once aliens to Israel but are now made near by the blood of Christ. Verse 19 says believers are no longer strangers but fellow citizens with the saints. Anderson interprets this to mean that believers are now citizens of Israel. He concludes that this scripture proves that Christians in the New Testament are the chosen people of God and that unbelieving Jews are under God's wrath and have been replaced by believers as the holy nation.

The speaker challenges the idea of being "pro-Israel" or pro-Zionist, asserting it stems from a misinterpretation of the Bible and dispensationalism. They claim the New Testament indicates the nation of Israel is no longer God's chosen people, but rather the church. Using biblical passages, the speaker argues that the kingdom of God was taken from the Israelites after they rejected Jesus. They state that believers in Jesus, regardless of ethnicity (Jew or Gentile), are the true seed of Abraham and heirs to the promise. The speaker contends that earthly Jerusalem lost its significance after rejecting Jesus, replaced by the heavenly Jerusalem. They equate Zionism with being anti-gospel and anti-Christian. The speaker questions favoring Israeli children over Palestinian children, asserting Jesus loves all equally. They believe those who die in Christ are perfected and united in love in Jesus' presence, transcending earthly divisions.

I was once asked why evangelical Christians are so supportive of Jewish people and Israel. The answer is simple: you can be Jewish and have nothing to do with Christians, but I can't be Christian and not have everything to do with the Jewish people. My faith, scriptures, and everything I believe is built on that foundation. We are people of the book. If you read in Genesis that God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel, it becomes very clear.

Christians should support the biblical Israel, not the current state of Israel. Criticizing those who claim to be Jews but are not is mentioned in the Bible. Questioning and criticizing should be allowed, as it is a red flag when certain groups or narratives cannot be questioned.

People believe supporting Israel brings God's blessings, but America's history challenges this. Legalized abortion and increasing debt show no divine favor. Jews have faced persecution for centuries, expelled from numerous countries. The question remains: why such hatred towards them?

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.
