Ezekiel'x testimony exposes the errors of Christian Zionist theology "Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone" - they were already in captivity when this prophecy was given - "and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all" (Ezek. 37:21, 22). The context of this prophecy makes it quite plain that it relates to the kingdom of Christ and the "everlasting covenant" (see particularly verses 24-26). The oneness here foretold is the oneness of all who are in Christ, "whether Jews or Gentiles" (1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:28; Eph. 2:13-15; Col. 3-11). So it has always been understood by Christian teachers and commentators before the dispensationalists and Christian Zionists; and therefore anyone who now would put a radically different interpretation upon the passage is called upon to prove his case convincingly because the burden of proof rests on his shoulders. The vision of Ezekiel 37 is one of a series which begins at chapter 34 with God's stern reproof of "the shepherds of Israel," in which chapter He makes the great promise, "Behold, I, even I, will both search My sheep, and seek them out" (37:11)(a clear referrence to Christ and the Christian era). This puts us on the right track for the true explanation of these prophecies. But Christian Zionists completely ignore the context and historical realities surrounding the verses; and again they do not make the slightest attempt to show that these verses were in fact fulfilled by the New Covenant Israel of God.

How Christian Zionism and Dispensationalism harms the Church: Christian Zionist theology has opened the door to the Christian flock to antichrist Talmudic "scholars" and permitted them to plant their diabolical lies into the heart of our scriptures. The Christian Church has been betrayed by men who, in the name of Christ, have before the world, accepted the Talmudic interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures. One example is the Talmudic interpretation of the Hebrew word ALAMAH as "young woman" rather than the clearly accurate "young virgin". Christian scholars for the last two thousand years agreed with ancient Israel's finest Hebrew scholars of the third century B.C. (Hebrew scholars who clearly had no axe to grind since they were translating the Hebrew into Greek in the Septuagint some 300 years before Christ) that the Hebrew word ALMAH in Isaiah 7;14 should be translated "young virgin". A glaring example of the Christian Zionist/Dispensational betrayal is found in the new REVISED STANDARD VERSION which translates ALMAH as "young woman" rather than as VIRGIN. What caused these Christian scholars to choose the Talmudic Jewish interpretation over the ancient Hebrew and Christian VIRGIN translation? The Christian Zionists and Dispensationalists influenced the translation team to include the Talmudist Harry M. Orlinsky of the Jewish Institute of Religion. In the end, the influence of the Christian Zionists permitted this Talmudic Jewish scholar to insert in a Christian bible the antichrist Talmudic view of prophecy.
