>> The usual treatments of Zionism, whether by enemies, friends, or apologists, are usually vitiated by two interconnected errors. The first is lack of discussion of the related historical background. <<
the relevant background needed to understand "zionism" is in the sacred and divinely inspired word of God! that is where one must start their investigation into zionism. for the Spirit of Truth teaches us all we need to know about "Zionism" in the Sacred Scripture.
>> This is a great mistake because the 19th century was a time of rapid change for Jews <<
the author once again displays his ignorance by thinking that one must hearken back to the 19th century to learn the basis of zionism. you don't need to start in the 19th century to learn about zionism. you need to go back MILLENNIA and learn what the holy prophets of God taught us about Zion, such as the blessed king David in his psalms.
>> The second common error in treatments of Zionism is forgetting that Zionism is a Jewish movement [emphasis in the original], the first objective of which was to influence Jews <<
the author leaves us with the impression that he doesn't know how to properly identify a jew. perhaps he ought to read romans chapter 2 or galatians chapter three. yes, it is not improper to call zionism a jewish movement. for Christians are the true Zionists, and Christians are the true Jews, and Christians are the true Israel. too bad the author doesn't grasp any of this, and thinks that the FALSE zionists, those liars who call themselves jews and are not, call themselves israel and are not, or call themselves christians and are not, also call themselves zionists and are not (except in the carnal sense which is enmity against God and is not pleasing to him.
to cut to the chase, there is a worldly zionism, and there is a heavenly zionism. the only true zionism is the heavenly zionism. the worldly zionism is the false zionism.
if you serve satan he will give you your worldly kingdom of "israel" and your worldly "zion".
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. --Matthew 4:8-9
Christ tells his disciples:
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
--John 15:19
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world....... They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. --John 17:14, 16
both so-called "christian" and "jewish" zionists are seeking for a worldly kingdom to be established in palestine. this is not Christ's kingdom, this is the kingdom of Antichrist.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. --John 18:36
the jews (along with their deceived cohorts) seek to be the heirs of the world, establishing a glorious kingdom as was in the days of solomon, when the jews ruled over the nations.
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. --Romans 4:13
the jews have not the faith of our father abraham, they seek to establish their righteousness by the works of the law--the religion of antichrist.
the jews seek to be the princes of this world, in imitation of their father the devil--the prince of this world. they are murderers just like their father that old serpent the devil.
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. --1 Corinthians 2:8
but Orthodox Christians receive not this evil spirit which lusts after the world...
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. --1 Corinthians 2:12
we are told this present world is evil...
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: --Galatians 1:3-4
yet all the jews seek after is worldly glory and power, and a worldly kingdom given to them by their father the devil.
the holy apostle Paul tells us we are only to glory in the cross. we are not to glory in the six-pointed star, the symbol of the kingdom of antichrist. we are to glorify the kingdom within us, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, not a worldly kingdom. we are to be crucified (i.e. dead) to the things of this world, for the fashion of this world passeth away...
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. --Galatians 6:14
we are not to be spoiled after the rudiments of this world...
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.....Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, --Colossians 2:8, 20a
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. --1 Timothy 6:7
loving this present world means forsaking Christ...
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, --2 Timothy 4:10
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. --James 1:27
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. --James 4:4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. --2 Peter 1:4
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, --2 Peter 2:20
THIS PASSAGE SUMS IT ALL UP...
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. --1 John 2:15-17
antichrist jews and antichrist muslims demonstrate their lust for this world by seeking to control a piece of dirt in the middle east. the jews and the muslims both claim abraham as their father yet they do not the works of abraham. Christ called those who boast of their descent from abraham but do not do his works children of the devil--which is precisely what muslims and jews are.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. --John 8:37-44
now what are the works of abraham? many, but perhaps the works most relevant to the topic at hand are the ones described in Genesis chapter 13. for there was a dispute over land in palestine, just as there is today.
what did abraham, the man that rejoiced to see the day of Christ do? the thing that any good Christian should do.
