Zionism for All Israel
Daniel Gregg
I have been a firm supporter of Zionism in the past, and still am. Jews should live in the land of Israel and have a place of safety beyond the reach of Gentile persecutions. And they take no one's land to accomplish this, but they bought it from willing sellers. The Arabs fairly sold much of the land or they listened to lies about Israel and irrationally fearing Israel fled, and then participated in a war of extermination against Israel, or they attacked from their villages. So they justly loose the land for that cause too. If one's neighbor wages genocide against you, then you have just cause for keeping them away by force if necessary. And it is a fact that Nazi ideology infected the Arab mind even before WWII. (see here: Palestinians and Hilter)
The nations fail to recognize Israel's right to defend itself, and to be justly compensated for the losses suffered due to the genocidal attacks of the Arabs. It is only just to be compensated by the destruction of the aggressors, or their exile where they will not be able to again harm Israel. Israel was always willing to allow the Arab to live next door in peace, but the nations overlook this fact. The nations compel Israel to police the terrorist entity in Judea and Ephraim (Samaria) without allowing Israel to justly defeat the terrorist entity.
Why are the nations so anti-Semitic? The nations are anti-Semitic because Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob listened to YHWH the Creator, and so he made a nation out of them and blessed them. The nations chose to remain in their darkness and sins, and now they are jealous of God's favorites. Israel's existence is a continual rebuke to the sins of the nations, particularly the sin of racial hatred and prejudice against the teachings of the Bible. And it is the teachings of the Bible that the nations hate. We must never forget that the Nazi and Soviet genocide killed equally massive numbers of Christians who would not go along with their socialist agenda or murdering classes of people that do not agree with their evolutionary world view. Stalin and Hitler murdered millions of Christians and millions of Jews. And though the Jews took the lead in dying, Christians will be no means come behind them in numbers of dead when the final total is calculated.
Behind the hatred of the nations lies the Dragon, the ancient serpent in the garden that beguiled mankind in the first place. This is why human beings cannot overcome their hatred for Israel through humanism or the ideal of socialist utopia. The reason is that God will not allow a humanistic rebellion against him to succeed; and therefore, He permits the serpent to corrupt their good intentions since they do not glorify Him. Logically, of course, all men could live together in peace if they just removed the militant element from their beliefs. However, neither the dragon nor God are interested in a self serving autonomous mankind. Man was created to respect and honor the Creator, not himself.
Militancy, however, is not required of us. All that we require is the same rights that all other nations recognize for themselves, the right of self defense. This is only just. Of course nations that go on imperialistic campaigns of conquest claim self defense whenever it may benefit them to do so. Someone with the facts can easily judge who is in the right or wrong, and objective history is very much an exercise in determining who was the aggressor and who was the defender. History really has no reason for being if the basic truth of who is in the right or wrong cannot be determined. History tells us that socialists define socialist aggression as self-defense, and their victims efforts at self defense are defined as aggression.
The truth is that the Arabs are the militant aggressors. However, they will try to justify it with all the pretended arguments of self defense that a Nazi or Stalinist would come up with. If we remember Finland and Czechoslovakia, we will learn a valuable lesson. Both Hitler and Stalin claimed self defense. The lesson is that the same propaganda used to justify those invasions have infected the Arab mind. The demons that once haunted Berlin, Moscow and Beijing have made their capitals in Damascus, Tehran, and Cairo. The west has not woken up this this fact. Tyranny never dies. It just slinks off to another place when it is defeated in one place. If the west fails to recognize the illness among the Arab nations, then it is probably because it has contracted its own case of liberal socialism that is blinding it to the danger.
Christians need to learn to vote with their choices. If the opportunity arises to move to a more defensible location in the face of genocidal socialism, then they need to take it. And Christians are steadily being deprived of their rights already. We see it in forced teaching of evolution in the schools. We see in denial of the right to agree with the Bible on the subject of homosexuality. We see in in the attempts to define free thought and free speech as hate speech, and hate crimes. All these attempts are nothing but naked aggression against Judeo-Christian beliefs. They are the precursor to a real shooting war. But we must recognize the imperialistic ambitions of the liberals in education, the workplace, and politics. Right now Washington is fascist, which is a marriage of mega-corporate business and government, but right behind the fascism is communism. The loss of God given rights is steady, like the proverbial frog being boiled in a pan.
The solution to this problem is a New Zionism. We know the world is going to hell in a hand basket. God has not promised to defend the world against all of this. In fact, He predicts world wide totalitarianism in the last days in the book of Revelation. God will allow the dragon to take over because mankind has lied to itself and refused to acknowledge true principles of justice. The place for the New Zionism, of course, is Israel. It is at this point that Christians get confused. Doesn't the Anti-Christ take over Israel? No the Anti-Christ does not take over Israel. Read Revelation 12. A place is prepared for Israel by God. The anti-Christ may take over Jerusalem for 42 months, but there is deliverance for Israel. And the reason that this false messiah will try to take over Israel is that it will be the last thorn in his side toward world domination. Israel will be the shining beacon on a hill that is thwarting his plans. There will be no deliverance among the nations. Read Revelation 13.
In the last days Israel will be a prosperous place, just as it has already been a prosperous place for Jews relative to their destitution in the preceding millennia. Israel is going to have a sound money system, a sound court system, and freedom of worship for believers in Messiah. It may be a secular state half infected with liberalism at the present, but that will change, and Israel will prosper more. Meanwhile the rest of the world will fall into totalitarianism as they adopt the environmental religion trying to make every effort to overcome God's judgments against their humanistic attempts to build a utopia without Him. Of course their utopia is one without certain classes of people. They want these classes of people to die off. They will either help this to happen or turn a blind eye when it does happen.
Because Israel will be a prosperous place, it will be the last bastion, the last castle of freedom standing in the world. What Revelation is saying is that Israel will be the prize standing in the way of total world dictatorship. Do physical parts of Israel fall? Yes, but this is were faith is needed. We need to trust that God will step in at the end, just as he has said. And in order to do that we have to be willing to be that light on the hill in Zion.
Now I must address a few concerns with Messianic Jews concerning the New Zionism, and with other Jews. Zionism has heretofore been united with Judaism at the political level. I am not addressing these concerns to convince them they are wrong, but to define the problem, and then tell them what God will do unilaterally, since they will not do it themselves. God will have to overrule their myopic shortsightedness. According to biblical teaching all men were to be allowed to join with Israel, and not just some men because they had the right genetics. Torah observance is not a matter of race so much as a race that allows adoption into that race. It is only for this reason that biblical Torah observance is not racist. At the bottom it is religious, and religion stands on its truth and morality, not on its genetics. The genetic aspect of nationalism was never the most important, nor the determining factor. Rather, culture, boarders, language, and religion are the defining factors, and in the final analysis only religion is the ultimate factor.
Messianic Jews have come a bit too close to Judaism in their efforts to be accepted into Israel, or to be accepted as Jews. Rather than wait for God to solve the problem of Judaism's control of the political implementation of Zionism, they seek to solve it themselves by trying to compel Judaism to accept them. It will never happen. If they are really Jewish, there is little to stop them from going to Israel. They just can't do it in the name of Messianic Judaism. Yes, Judaism has thrown up road blocks from time to time, but then immigration to Israel has never been trouble free. Many countries have set up their own road blocks.
The Messianic Jewish attempt to be accepted their way, without including other believers in Messiah who were not born Jewish blinds them to the New Zionism. In the New Zionism, the Rabbinic control of immigration to Israel via Judaism will be removed. The gates will be opened to all believers in Messiah Yeshua. Messianic Jews might try to call this "replacement theology". But it is not. Replacement theology says that God's physical promises to Israel have been changed into spiritual promises in the Church having nothing to do with the land of Israel. In short, replacement theology is the anti-Zionism of the Church. It is beyond me why Messianic Jews would want to exclude non-Jewish believers in Yeshua from immigrating to Israel based on a charge of "replacement theology". It seems they are afraid for their own status, or fear that there will be enough room in Israel. If so, then it is a lack of faith in God's ability to set things straight.
The Rabbinic Jews may think they have control of Israel's immigration process. This is a temporary situation. Judaism hates Yeshua. There can be no denying this. Judaism will continue to hate Yeshua. God will deal with that. We do not have to. Unbelieving Jews can still be loved, and if they feel that Yeshua is anti-Semitic then they have confused religious belief with anti-Zionism. Yeshua is not anti-Zionist. He's the one coming to deliver Zion from totalitarianism. So this confusion of Judaism over who its true friends are will be solved by God. Judaism is to be stripped of its political power over the political implementation of Zionism, at least in regard to believers in Yeshua who are Torah observant. By Torah observant, Rabbinic Judaism will not be required, but merely following the written biblical law.
The other problem of the old Zionism is that it was a secularist movement. Surely God used it, but of course this was not ideal. The New Zionism is religious. The policies will be thus: other religious groups in Israel that do not oppose Zionism may be allowed to remain. New immigration will be restricted to believers in Yeshua who want to follow God's laws and join His covenant with Israel. Unbelieving Jews will be allowed to immigrate because Yeshua was a Jew and out of respect for their ancestry, but they must agree to follow Torah.
It is at this junction that an American notion of pluralism must be corrected. While Israel may tolerate groups already in place, it does not have to agree to immigration of other religions in order to be democratic or a free society. All nations have practiced limits on immigration determined by their language, borders, culture, and religion. If immigration is allowed against the prevailing culture, language, or religion, then the rights of the people will be infringed. There are plenty of other nations on earth where other religions are practiced, and where those people can feel at home doing them. If they feel that they have the right to come to Israel and upset the legal and cultural basis of that land, then they are very mistaken. If they are not truly attracted to the institutions of the land of Israel, then they have no business wanting to live there. And that is what other nations practice also. America does not permit people to immigrate who cannot agree with the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. There are already people in the U.S. who disagree with the legal foundation of America. They have to stay because they live here. However, that does not mean the U.S. has to have a policy of letting people immigrate who will oppose the Republic. So the requirement of immigrants to observe Torah in Israel is no different than any other nation that requires obedience to its laws.
Other nations have national holidays, and days of rest. So also Israel. However, the notion seems to have sunk into western society that anything that has a connection to religion is in fact unlawful in the definition of a free society. These ideas come from Marxism-Leninism. Advocates of the socialist-liberal or communist agenda are in fact trying to change the foundation of our culture on the premise of their evolutionary beliefs, and their belief that certain classes have the right to conduct a war of cultural imperialism against the accepted culture of a country. The are willing to use murder and lies to achieve this end. Right now in the U.S. we are still in the lie stage. But murder invariably follows the lie. Every country has some minority agitating against the national culture. Sometimes it is due to oppression of that minority as to basic rights, but all too often the minority is really out to take away the rights of the majority.
Any nation that promotes immigration against its basic religious or ideological foundation, language, or culture will soon cease to exist. All of these elements are related. Religion is law, and law is religion. The separation of Church and State, i.e. religion and state is in fact a Marxist-Leninist ideology. The separation of moral religious teaching from the domain of law is a false dichotomy. It is not a principle that made America great. It is one that is tearing America down, and causes America to loose its freedoms. Conservatives are not deceived by the left, but all too often they are unwilling to take their beliefs to their logical conclusion in the face of the socialist argument of the left. For this reason conservatives are forced to retreat from the imperialist advance of the left.
As much as I hope that America will wake up, and enjoy another generation of freedom, the ultimate solution to the world socialism is the New Zionism. For ultimately the socialists are going to succeed in doing away with the conservatives of America. Supporting the new Zionism could prolong the American Experiment. However, America has come to an economic crossroads. Marx, Lenin and Engels were right about one thing in the west: capitalism always dies of monopoly and debt. The question is whether the free market will be allowed to resurrect the economy. Or will it come under socialist control and never recover its former prosperity?
It is extremely important to concede what ails the west: corporate monopolies, debt, and debt based money. If the problem is not diagnosed, then the proposed solution will be wrong: a neo-Marxism-Leninism united with an Arab oil based receivership of bankrupt America. The new Zionism will show the path to recovery. The septennial forgiveness of all debts will break the debt cycle for Israel, and so also should do the same for America, and even if the concept of debt forgiveness sinks in, it will be good for America. Also the 50th year return of land to the first owners will break monopolies. Even if this concept rubs off in the slightest on the U.S. then we may recover our manufacturing base and break the monopolies strangling free business.
So how are things going to go down in Israel. I'm not sure, but surely Israel is waking up to the fact that the Palestinians are planning the next holocaust using the same ideology as Hitler and Stalin. The situation cannot be tolerated. They are waging an active war against Israel, but Israel is being weakened by the fascist government in Washington D.C. Arab money interests and corporate power have bought off both the presidency and the congress. And Marxist-Leninist liberals are continually infecting and corrupting the judicial branch of government. Iran is a client state of China and the Russian Federation, which are buddies now. This is not surprising since both are forms of liberal fascism.
These corporate and fascist interests do not have the interests of either Israel or America in mind. They are internationalist traitors to their own nations and seek to bring the whole world under their ideology. Therefore, they hope that Iran develops nuclear weapons, and they hope that Israel is attacked and that America gets an EMP bomb, or a big military setback in the Middle East, like the loss of several carrier battle groups. They hope this, because these two countries are the only places that a threat can come up for them in the face of their power grab for world domination.
Israel will suffer a big setback, and so also America before the people wake up to the danger and throw the bums out. Israel will probably loose several major cities. The Palestinian question will have to be solved on the battlefield as they will surly join any pan-Arab attack instigated by a Iranian attack. Things will not go as planned by the fascists, Marxist-Leninists, or Islamo-fascists. They will suffer total defeat as once again God intervenes to save Israel. However, in the wake of this war God will arrange the random forces of politics. They will align a certain way. And the new Zionism will quietly be put into the political driver seat.
