"Is God A Zionist?"

What exactly is Zionism?

According to History.com:

"Simply put, Zionism is a movement to create a Jewish presence in Israel. The name comes from the word "Zion" which is a Hebrew term that refers to Jerusalem."

According to the Bible:   

Zion, or all the land of Israel, belongs to God who gave it to His chosen people, the Jews (Genesis 12:7), aka "The Promised Land" (Joshua 1:4).

Scripture refers to Zion as the "City of Holiness" and a "city of refuge" where the Lord protects His people, the Jews, from the evils of the world.

Twice the Jews were exiled form Zion in punishment for their sins. Once to Babylonia, and then again by the Romans into what is called the Diaspora.

But God promised to restore them permanently to their ancient homeland in the "latter days", which God did in 1948 after almost 2,000 years of exile.

And while the Jews have returned to Israel in unbelief, Romans 11:26 plainly says, "All Israel will be saved" in the end.

The word "Zion" is featured 152 times in the Old Testament and 7 times in the New. Clearly, Zion is important to God and will play a leading role in the future.

Eventually, (and possibly very soon) Jesus Christ will return to earth and establish His Kingdom in what is known as the Millennial Reign of Christ (found in Revelation 20:1-6).

And where will this Kingdom be located? You guessed it. Zion.

A wise man once said: "Christian, do yourself a favor. As we watch America struggling with a very fast rising tide of antisemitism, why don't you pick a side and stay there? You see, I believe my Bible, and I know how it all winds up, who wins, and how it all will go when the end times dust settles. So here and now, by faith, I stand on the side of the King of the Jews, on the side of His chosen people, and with the biblical, and literal, physical, and earthly Zion which is the City of David. Where do you stand?" -- Geoffrey Grider, Now The End Begins

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'You can be sure that I will rescue My people (the Jew) from the east and from the west. I will bring them home again to live safely in Jerusalem. They will be My people, and I will be faithful and just toward them as their God" (ZECHARIAH 8:7).

"2024 Could Be A Pivotal Year In Bible Prophecy"

Unrelenting bad news the last few years has caused many of us to simply tune out. We don't want to hear it any more. We've got information saturation and it's become mind-numbing. Lawlessness, deception, political intrigue, war...enough bad news to make your head explode.

And it's not just here-it's everywhere, globally, all at once.

Clearly these are tumultous times and nobody enjoys the heartache and suffering they bring. But there's a line being drawn:

For those of us who believe in the imminent return of Christ, these are exciting (though difficult) times. The signs pointing to His soon return are everywhere. For those concerned only with this present life and who either don't know or don't care about a biblical worldview, these are trying times.

Ironically, the very events that frighten or depress those without a love for His coming, create a growing sense of anticipation in those of us busy waiting for His return. That's the beauty of Bible prophecy: It reveals your spiritual temperature.

For the prophecy student, world events are not arbitrary or accidental, but a carefully orchestrated plan with a divine purpose. Bible teacher Charlie Campbell explains what role fulfilled prophecy plays in validating our hope in the future as laid out in Scripture:

"Fulfilled prophecy is something that sets the Bible apart from all other religious books. There are 26 other books that people of faith (non-Christian) believe are divinely-inspired. And none of these writings contain any specific fulfilled prophecies. There are no fulfilled prophecies in the Qur'an, the Hindu Vedas, the Bhaqavad-Gita, the sayings of Buddha and Confucius, or in the Book of Mormon. The Bible on the other hand is filled with fulfilled prophecy. In fact 27% of the Bible spoke prophetically at the time it was written. And the authors of the Bible did not just predict a couple of vague things like Jeane Dixon or Nostradamus. The Old Testament alone contains hundreds of very specific prophecies that have already come to pass. The fact that these prophecies were literally fulfilled give us the intellectual basis for believing that future, unfulfilled prophecies regarding the rapture of the Church, the Thousand-year reign of Christ on earth, etc. would also be literally fulfilled."

Current events (especially those that revolve around Israel), viewed through the lense of Bible prophecy can (and should) have a purifying effect on the Christian's life. Why? Because as we see the world lining up precisely as predicted, the Bible comes alive for us. Jesus Christ becomes real for us. And the realization that we will stand before a holy God and give an account of our lives, motivates us to live in the way the Bible teaches us to live. What man views as a "good life" doesn't count. It is God's opinion that matters.

"We must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad"(2 CORINTHIANS 5:10).

A wise man once said: "The clock of human history is ticking away. It neither speeds up nor slows down. It just keeps on ticking continually and relentlessly, moving us closer and closer to the end of the age. How close we are to the end will only be revealed by time itself. Don't gamble with your eternal destiny. Time may very well be running out. Make sure you are ready when Jesus comes." - the late Ed Hindson, Bible teacher

"And now, dear children, continue to live in fellowship with Christ so that when He returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from Him in shame" (1 JOHN 2:28).

"The Puzzle of Prophecy"

Once one realizes that all of God's promises are interwoven with the nation of Israel, the puzzle pieces of Bible prophecy begin to fit together.

For instance: Antisemitism.

Hitler wasn't the only one driven by a passionate desire to rid the world of Jews. There have been an amazing number of crazed lunatics throughout history all with one rabid intention: Destroy the Jew. Why? It's completely irrational...unless one considers the spiritual dimension: Destroy Israel and you destroy God's credibility. Mmmm...I wonder who'd want to do that?

Bible prophecy is a two-edged sword. On the plus side, God reveals His plan in advance, giving us reliable proof of His existence and authenticating the Bible as the infallible word of God. On the downside, the adversary, Satan, is also privy to the plan.

This creates a dilemma that God solves by using a bit of obscurity. While He can't be so veiled that we don't get the message, it prevents Him from giving us all the detail we might want. Ever wonder why God doesn't just spell it all out for us? He's got good reason; there's a certain demonic element intent on sabotaging God's plan.

From the time of Moses to the time of Christ, Satan tried over and over again to kill all male Hebrew children. Why? Because he knew the Messiah would be a Jew. If he could get rid of the Hebrew babies, the Messiah would never be born. When that failed, he thought he'd nailed it (no pun intended) at the cross. But no, foiled again! The crucified Savior was resurrected. Satan had played right into God's hand--not realizing that the only begotten Son had to die--it was God's plan all along: The Savior would die so we could live.

Even now, the Devil and his minions are working overtime to crush the Jew. Is it a coincidence that Israel is surrounded by enemies?

The Bible predicts the Messiah will return to Jerusalem when the Jews are back in their homeland and besieged on every side. If there are no Jews, there is no Messiah. If there is no Israel, then Satan wins and there is no God. That's how interwoven the nation of Israel is with God's promises.

A wise man once said: "Jewish survival is a phenomena. Jewish history, with all of its tragedies and triumphs, has been accurately foretold; we see the Jews as a miracle of history." -- Hal Lindsey-author

"It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" (Zechariah 12:9).

"Israel Turns 70: Prophetically Significant?"

On May 14, 1948, the nation of Israel was "reborn". (predicted in Isaiah 66:8).

On May 14, 2018, the nation of Israel will turn 70 years old.

Prophetically significant? We report, you decide.

In Matthew 24, Jesus details the signs and events that will happen at the End of the Age. He includes the parable of the Fig Tree. "The Fig Tree " often represents the nation of Israel in Scripture (but certainly not always).

"Now learn this parable of the fig tree: when its buds become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer is near. Just so, when you see the events I've described beginning to happen, you can know His return is very near, right at the door. I assure you, this generation will not pass from the scene before all these things take place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but My words will remain forever" (Matthew 24:32-35).

Whether the Fig Tree represents Israel in this passage or not, the generation meant is the generation that sees the signs Jesus just described beginning to happen and all of them revolve around...you guessed it! Israel.

Once one realizes that all of God's promises are interwoven with the nation of Israel, the puzzle pieces of Bible prophecy begin to fit together.

For instance: Anti-Semitism.

Satan would like nothing more than make God look like a liar, which explains his obsession with destroying Israel." -- Hal Lindsey, author.

"Bad Omen for Israel?"

Israel caught Iran red-handed last week smuggling weapons to militants in the Gaza Strip.

"The ship was organized by Iran, dispatched by Iran, financed by Iran. The missiles were loaded by Iran, in Iran," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

What does Iran say?

Israel is a big fat liar (in spite of the fact that Israel has got the ship and the weapons to prove it).

Meanwhile, Washington and the western world goes on pretending that the recent nuclear deal with Iran is valid. Not to mention Iran has lied and cheated in every agreement it has ever made with the United Nations (that's about 20 times, people!)

So, now we're suppose to believe this latest deal will be different?

What is wrong with this picture? Has everybody in charge taken stupid pills?

Iran makes no bones about its plans for Israel.

Tuesday, Iran's Brigadier General Hossein Salami declared, "The Iranian military commanders are prepared to attack and destroy the Zionist regime of Israel as soon as they receive such an order.

Last month, Iranian state TV ran a documentary featuring a computerized video of Iran's drones and missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport and the Dimona nuclear reactor.

In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip showing missiles targeting Israeli cities.

So why does the West cling to the illusion that Iran has changed?

Apparently, fantasy-based policy making rules the day (or could it be demonically-inspired self-deception?)

The Bible predicts Iran will attack Israel while the rest of the world watches and does nothing.

In contrast, if Israel so much as attempts to defend herself, the international community roars in harsh condemnation. Proving, yet again, that anti-Semitism is alive and thriving, just as the Bible says it will be.

"Now many nations are assembled against you. 'Let her be desecrated', they say. 'Let us see the destruction of Jerusalem.'"(Micah 4:11)

"For thus says the Lord: 'he that touches you (Israel) touches the apple of My eye.'" (Zech. 2:8)
