1 Is Zionism of God?by Bob & Suzanne HamrickPreface ..Zionists base their entitlement to the lands of Palestine primarily on certain specific promises and prophecies found in the Hebrew Tanach (the Christian Old Testament ). Many Christians have been led to support Zionism because of a fairly recent belief system called Dispensationalism , which asserts that Yeshua HaMashiach ( Jesus Christ ) will return silently and invisibly, like a thief in the night to remove his Church from the earth just before the seven-year period known as the Tribulation . This belief is called the pre-Trib Rapture , as has been popularized by the Left Behind series of books, movies, TV specials, to the pre-Trib theory, the visible, physical return of Yeshua/ Jesus seven years later, at the end of the Tribulation (the pre-Tribbers second Second Coming), cannot happen unless the Temple in Jerusalem is rebuilt, so that the anti-Christ can enter it at the mid-point of the Tribulation, and fulfill the prophecy in 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

2 In other words, the pre-Trib Christians believe that it is in their own self-interest to support the Zionists today, so that the Temple may be rebuilt sooner than would be the case without their support, thereby hastening their own departure from this planet ahead of the prophesied horrors of the Great Tribulation. Many Jews support Zionism because they also have been falsely led to believe that certain prophecies and promises in the Hebrew Tanach directly apply to what the Zionists have already accomplished through their entirely human efforts. They ignore the fact that many of the Zionist Israeli government s documented atrocities are absolutely forbidden by the God of that same Tanach.

3 Conveniently for them, the Jews other holy book , the Talmud, not only does NOT prohibit such activities, it actually authorizes them (as we shall see), which is why it is the primary holy book for most Jews today, including Zionists. Both Jews and Christians who support Zionism point to the many verified miraculous events which attended the survival of individuals in the Israeli armed forces in the several conflicts with their Arab and Egyptian neighbors, as well as the mere survival of the nation of Israel itself in the face of overwhelming numerical odds in these wars. To such people, these documented miracles of survival can only mean that the Zionist cause itself is righteous before God.

4 But is this the only possible significance of these events? Not according to Scripture. The God of the Bible gave miraculous victories over their equally pagan/Gentile adversaries to several pagan/Gentile kings whose personal ambitions were used by the God of the Bible to further his own purposes. Read the book. Most Jews and Christians who oppose Zionism do so from a heartfelt conviction that Zionism is not only wrong according to the literal words of the God who inspired the Tanach, but that Zionism will certainly bring the promised curses of that same God upon all who follow the Zionists and their political agenda, based solely on the stated positions of YHVH Page 1 of 44 Elohim in the Tanach concerning those who rule today (and presumably tomorrow) in Jerusalem.

5 The Zionists base their claims to the land of Palestine on certain specific prophecies in the Hebrew Tanach (the Christian Old Testament ). If Zionism is of the God of the Bible, then everyone in the world who believes in this God should be supporting the Zionists in their attempts to secure a homeland for the Jews. But if Zionism can be proven from the Bible to not be of the God of the Bible (despite the Zionists claim that it is), then every non-Zionist on earth should be opposing them 24/7. Who is right? IS Zionism of God? Or not? Every human being on earth needs to know the answer to this question, because their own eternal fate may depend on the choices they make in the future concerning the Zionists.

6 We intend to prove herein that Zionism has NO basis in the Tanach, NOR in the Christian New Testament , is therefore false, and should be opposed by every non-Zionist in the world, purely as a matter of self-interest and personal survival, since the hidden agenda of Zionism is actually to take over the world for their messiah the one called the beast and the anti-Christ in the Bible and enslave or kill off everyone else, especially Christians. Definitions: Zionism : noun 1: a policy for establishing and developing a national homeland for Jews in Palestine 2: a movement of world Jewry that arose late in the 19th century with the aim of creating a Jewish state in Palestine.

7 Talmud: noun 1: generally today, the written-down version of the so-called oral law of the Jews. Those who adhere to its teachings claim it was given verbally to Moses by YHVH at Mount Sinai, in addition to the written law, the Torah. It consists primarily of the opinions of generations of rabbis on permissible interpretations of Torah, many of which directly contradict the Torah itself. Most Jews today consider the teachings of the Talmud to be superior to the teachings of Torah, although not all do, notably a sect called the Karaites. Jew: noun 1: a follower of the Pharisaic/Talmudic system of religionised law based solely upon man s traditions and upon generations of subjective personal interpretations of God s Law/Torah by rabbis.

8 These are based on the occult teachings of the Babylonian exiles the Kabbalah that ultimately has become Talmudic Judaism . 2: a physical descendant of Jacob/Israel. 3: a person who is of Ashkenazic, Sephardic, or other generally-accepted Hebraic ethnicity or : adjective 1: a non-Jew individual or group 2: a term of disparagement used by Talmudic Jews to refer to non-Jews, synonymous with pagan , sub-human , non-human , bestial , etc. anti-semite: adjective 1: One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against all Jews. Page 2 of 44 IntroductionSince we are sure to be accused of being anti-Semitic because of the content of this article, we will start with a few facts in our own defense.

9 Taking the above dictionary definition of anti-semite , we see that it is an individual or organization which discriminates against, or is hostile towards, or prejudiced against ALL Jews. We confess to being hostile toward SOME individuals and organizations who CLAIM to be Jews or Jewish, but our hostility is solely because their so-called holy book , the Talmud, encourages and entitles them to kill us whenever they get the chance! In fact, we love all of God s children, even as we are required to do by the commandments of the God of the Hebrew Tanach and by our Lord Yeshua of Nazareth. Yeshua of Nazareth, himself a Jew (definition 2), asserted that many of the Pharisees were in fact NOT God s children, but were instead of their father, the devil because of their murderous ways, and for their substitution of the oral law /traditions of men/Talmud for the Mosaic Torah/Tanach.

10 The Pharisees of Yeshua s day are the authors of the Talmud, and are the spiritual ancestors of today s Hassidic Jews, such as the Chabad Lubavitchers. In the Gospel bearing his name, the apostle John describes three separate instances of people who felt constrained to act in certain ways for fear of the Jews . (John 7:13; 19:38; 20:19) Unfortunately, that attitude is still evident in the behavior and teachings of many prominent evangelical Christians, who are actually compromising their obligations to the Body of Christ by these attitudes. Also, many of the followers of Talmudic Judaism are such simply from ignorance of the alternatives. It is our God-given responsibility as followers of the Lord Yeshua to show his light to the Jew first, and then to the entire world, even as Yeshua and his original disciples did, regardless of the is another FACT that Yeshua warned us all that, in the end times, there will be a group of very dangerous people in power who will CLAIM to be Jews, but who are NOT Jews, as far as he is concerned.
