Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?

[–] bonnashejve@europe.pub 1 points 7 hours ago

The problem is that Hebrew Scriptures rejects the idea that Biblical Israel is in Israel state. Also 2nd Temple was not ruined according to Book of Daniel. But for so called 'Christian Church' it does not matter. Have you ever seen any christian pastor who try to read Hebrew Scriptures, analyze it or teach ancient Hebrew 'his sheep'? They rely on your ignorance.

For a lot of evangelicals and orthodox jews, they believe the Third Temple must be built at Temple Mount for the Messiah to return/come. Christians are a death cult and it's part of their eschatology to work towards those ends to bring about the Second Coming and the rise of New Jerusalem/Zion.

In terms of realpolitik Israel is a strategic foothold in an geographically important area rich with resources and trade routes.

Note that plenty of Christians reject these attempts to bring on judgement day just as many Jews reject the forceful invasion of the Holy Land to bring on a promised Jewish state.

Abrahamic faith is pretty clear on the decision of when to call judgement day to be solely in the hands of God and noone except God knows.

Evangelical Christianity is a death cult predicated on Israel's existence and eventual destruction.

All those Christian "friends of Israel" long to see every Israeli dead. Because that means the end of the world. White Jesus comes back. A horn is blown. World War ending specifically in fire. Not a flood this time cuz God pinky swore not to.

And everyone except for 144,000 of the most insane Christians is damned to hellfire for all eternity. Jebus rebuilds heaven on Earth.

That's the whole story. From an Exvangelical who was raised in this snake-fuckingly crazy nonsense.

Evangelical Christianity is a death cult predicated on Israel’s existence and eventual destruction.

I.e. simultaneously zionist and antisemitic

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Only accidentally Zionist. They don't actually believe that Jewish people have a right to Israel so much as they believe that Jewish people need to inhabit Israel to fulfill Christian prophecy.

US evangelicals are treating an entire ethno-religious group as means to their desired end. It's disgusting.

Lol, imagine someone attacks Israel with a nuke, triggers an entire nuclear armageddon, and the whole world is englufed in "fire and brimstone," and the crazy mother fuckers were right all along.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That is literally the plan. It's why Israel has nukes. Those open secret nukes everyone knows about that don't officially exist.

Edit - Its why we're so antagonistic towards Iran. The psychos want to bait Iran and Israel into full scale war hoping one of them will kick start the apocalypse.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This sounds insane because it is insane.

It is also true. They don't even try to hide it. Do they still have a weekly show about it on TBN?

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

John Hagee is still alive so probably. And that other one. Tall stringy fucker. Looks like an evil Mister Rogers in a suit. Charles Stanley I think his name is.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they want every Israeli dead, then why are they trying to save Israel? Maybe a better question is, do they want the end of the world now or is it this something they want to look forward to?

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Because it has to be destroyed the right way at the right time. Cuz "Prophesy" and shit. There's shit that needs to happen first. Like a big fancy temple has to be built.

If Israel was destroyed before that they'd have to start this whole colonial project over again.

The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.

No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Evangelists odd profecies, but mostly lobbying. AIPAC.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Money, grifting, racism, indoctrination, etc... All the usual reasons that people would support fascism.

Plus heretics preaching this garbage to several religions.
