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,
etc.
According 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. 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. 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.
