- By Bahram Maskanian - April 13, 2004

Increasingly, American evangelical Christians have emerged to form an unlikely alliance with right-wing Jews in Israel. Alluding to Biblical prophecies, these evangelicals call for all of the West Bank to remain in Israeli hands and oppose any two-state solution.

Evangelical Zionist Christians are sometimes called Christian Zionists because of their literal belief that a Christian Messiah will come to earth near Jerusalem, where they have joined with the Israeli right-wing Jews to oppose any division of Jerusalem.

Evangelical Christian Zionism is the theological interpretation of the man-made Bible into a man-written political application to the modern state of Israel. The extremely well paid scholars of English language theology place special emphasis upon the supreme authority of the Scriptures and the atoning death of Jesus.

According to Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, the term, Evangelical Christian Zionism, was originally used to refer to, – Those faith groups, which followed traditional Christian beliefs, in contrast with two other movements: philosophical rationalism and legalistic Christianity. –

Theology of Evangelical Christian Zionists Fundamentalism
The most active, very exclusive, and conservative wing of Evangelical Zionists Christians Fundamentalism draws its support primarily from the Baptist, Pentecostal and Independent money-making Bible churches associated with self-appointed individuals as the Lords' ambassadors on earth, such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Hal Lindsey and Mike Evans. Fundamentalist Evangelical Christians typically believe that the Bible is the Word of God, internally consistent and free of error.

Evangelical Zionists Christian Fundamentalists are the most vocal group in opposition to abortion access, equal rights for homosexuals against discrimination and hate crimes, physician-assisted suicide, the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research, comprehensive sex education in public schools classes, and other sensitive, personal issues of our society.

Dispensationalism

Most Christian Zionists subscribe to Dispensational Premillennism, a theological approach that claims that - - God relates to human beings via different covenants ("dispensations"); in particular, dispensationalists believe that God's covenant with Israel, including promises of land, continues in full force distinctive from Christianity. - - (Donald Wagner, SOJOURNER, July-August 2003)

Paul Beran, lecturer at Northeastern University, explains that - - in dispensationalism, history is an evolving pre-ordained plan that has certain marking points. - - Each of these seven dispensations represents one of God's tests for man on the path toward Christian salvation.

When Britain and the United States declared Israeli statehood in 1948, dispensationalists considered it an important prophetic event, or as Arno C. Gaebelein, editor of OUR HOPE described it, - - the sign of all signs. - -

Central to dispensationalism is the belief that all Israel will be saved. As theologian Stephen Sizer puts it, it is the belief - - that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants will be literally instituted; and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centered on Jerusalem. - -

Premillenial dispensationalists believe that Christ will return prior to the millennium (or 1,000 year reign) begins. There are also post-millennialists who believe that Christ will come after the 1,000 years and amillennialists who believe that God's promises are figurative and will not be literally fulfilled.

Rapture

This concept is from a literal interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 in which Paul says, - - For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. - -

Rapture is the notion that in the last days, believing Evangelical Christians will be removed from the earth. It is literally explained as the time when Jesus calls the faithful to heaven and believers are physically taken up.

To learn more about how Evangelical Christians became so closely aligned with Israeli Zionists and for more information, read Timothy Weber's book, – How Evangelicals Became Israel's Best Friend. –

In April 2002, a delegation of 13 U.S. church leaders assembled by the U.S. National Council of Churches visited the Middle East. The delegation called for bold steps to be taken by Israel and the Palestinian Authority in order to end violence in the region and to achieve peace with justice. Read the full statement issued by the leaders upon their return: 'By My Spirit': What Will Make for Peace in the Middle East?

Industrialists Evangelical Zionist Christians

The Book of Revelation written by John, is part of the man-made Bible book, which includes the foolish shortsighted description of the end of the world. Extremely well paid scholars are trying very hard to make YOU believe that Evangelical Church people and Evangelical Christians will be safely removed out of their clothes naked from the earth, before God's wrath is discharged in full measure on the rest of us, the non-Evangelical Zionists Christians. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

Rapture is a mystical experience of being transported into the spiritual realm, naked out of your clothes. It sometimes applies to the second coming of Jesus. Since he did such a wonderful job the first time he was here, why not! We could use some more crusade wars and new markets for our hard-working weapon manufacturers who incidentally are all, just like our President George W. Bush, good Evangelical Christians. They all unanimously believe that when the end of the world comes, only Evangelical Christians, the true believers, will rise up out of their clothes naked to join Jesus and his dad God in heaven. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

I personally witnessed billionaire oil and weapon manufacturer company owners and executives on different occasions on C-SPAN, PBS and other TV network coverage of their thin tanks or holy book signing appearances, in which they proudly announce that their success is due to the blessings of the Evangelical Christians' Lord God Almighty. They are proud to be members of the Evangelical Christian religion, soon to be united with the Lord himself. I hope so. I wish they would do it as soon as possible. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

These corporate owners and executives are either to stupid, suffer from amnesia or both, for not realizing that their success has a lot to do with the corrupt and criminal way that they conduct their business around the world and also the enormous help and support they receive from governments here in the US and abroad. Governments they helped to assemble and support. Lord has nothing to do with any of these!!!

This marriage of big business and organized religion has produced and given birth to this imperialist bastard child of the United States government, which we, all over the world are experiencing and suffering from today. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

Book of Revelation Summarized

The Book of Revelation is the final man-fabricated book of 66 in the man made Bible. It outlines what will take place in the final seven years of history, commonly known as Daniel's 70th week or the time of Jacob's trouble.

The first 4 chapters of Revelation mentions letters written by John to seven different churches that epitomized the Church's main challenges, weaknesses, and strengths throughout the Church Age or "Time of the Gentiles".

Jesus commended and rebuked the churches for different reasons. It is important to note that though the Church is mentioned many times during the first three chapters, it is not mentioned again in Revelation until Christ returns with His bride, the church. Scholars believe that this is just one more indication why the Church will be safely removed out of their clothes naked first and then from the earth. God's wrath is then dispensed in full measure on the rest of the people, the nonbelievers. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

I wonder what type of drugs or substances they were using those days to cause such hallucinations, for any man to see himself as an ambassador of the so-called Lord, God Almighty. Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

The remainder of this mysterious hallucinogenic book describes the horrible plagues and judgments that the inhabitants of the earth will have to endure all, because we disagree with these power hungry mullahs.

Here is a partial list of the things that the so-called Lord, God Almighty has in store for us and is supposed to take place during the Suffering:

1 - One-fourth of mankind will die near the beginning of the Suffering - - some because of war - - some because of famine, and others, leftovers by the wild beast of the earth. Whether by death that is swift and instant or death that is lingering and excruciating - - One-fourth of all people will die and that is just in the beginning! Revelation - 8:12 - I say, Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

The good industrialists Evangelical Zionist Christians are doing just that on behalf of the Lord, God Almighty, right at this moment. - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

2 - One-third of all vegetation will be consumed by the fiery wrath of the Lord, the merciful and shall burn up. All green grass, every tree, and everything green will be destroyed. Revelation - 8:12 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

The good industrialists Evangelical Christians are doing just that on behalf of the Lord, God Almighty, right at this moment. - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

3 - The sun and moon will be darkened as nature goes into revolt. Revelation 8:12

4 - The gates of hell will open and hordes of locusts, the size of horses, will come upon the earth. Those locusts will be allowed to sting men like scorpions and the pain will last for five months. The Bible says men will beg God to let them die but they will not die. Revelation - 9:3-6 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

5 - There will be worldwide famine unlike anything the world has ever seen. Revelation 18:8 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

6 - There will be a world war so bloody that the blood of those killed in battle will flow for two hundred miles up to the bridle of a horse in the Valley of Jezreel. This will be during the Battle of Armageddon. During the Great Tribulation, one third of all the remaining people on the earth will be killed. Revelation - 14:20 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

7 - Every person on earth will be covered with great running festering boils. Revelation 16:2-11 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

8 - The seven seas of the earth will be turned into blood. Every river, stream, and basin will become as blood. This plague will produce mind-numbing thirst from which there will be no relief. Revelation 8:8, 11:6 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

9 - The sun will scorch the earth and men with fire. Major uncontrollable fires will break out all over the world, spontaneously destroying homes, vegetation, and livestock. Rev. 16:8 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

10 - Mighty men, kings, and men of power will gnaw their tongues in pain and crawl into caves and beg God to kill them. Revelation 6:15 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

11 - The earth will quake so severely that the islands of the sea will disappear. Puerto Rico and Hawaii will be covered with water. Every building, every wall will crumble. Millions will be trapped beneath the rubble with no one to come to their aid. Revelation16:18 - Amen, Halleluiah, Praised the LORD!!!

You can escape the Tribulation by giving your life to Jesus Christ. Not only will you escape all that horror, but you will be considered a saint in God's eyes because you accepted his offer of forgiveness and salvation through his son Jesus, while the door of opportunity was still open.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. Revelation 22:18

Christian Mullahs' And Holy Novels

The latest holy novels, - - Left Behind - - & - - Glorious Appearing - - written by two Christian Mullah novelists; Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye have been a phenomenal success at Christian bookstores.

The main and central audience for the two Christian Mullahs: Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye are an estimated 40 million American Evangelical Christians.

The 40 million American Evangelical Christians are eighty percent (80%) of George W. Bush's supporters and voters.

The good, greedy Hollywood producers and television networks are also getting on the bandwagon of the obvious financial rip-off of the misguided American Evangelical Christians that Jesus and Bible stories are still believable and peoples' beliefs can generate billions.

Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" was again No. 1 at the box office this past Easter weekend. So far, it has grossed more than $350 million. I guess two thousand (2000) years of advertising paid off!!!

Why this sudden outpouring of religiosity? What is the reason for this rush of search for salvation and God? It is fear of the unknown! Fear of terrorism and being lied to by the government officials… Fear of Islam and what is, the reality of the United States corrupt and criminal foreign policy in support of greedy and criminal dictators and corporations.

* * * * * *

After 9/11, people feel vulnerable and fearful of what may lie in their future paths. Mullahs of all faith and religions are exploiting the hell out people's sense of vulnerability and fear.

For Evangelical Christians, these have been good times. Back in the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. Bush proudly announced and left no doubt about his evangelical convictions when he said, - - The political philosopher and thinker I most identified with is Jesus Christ. He changed my heart. When you accept Christ as your savior, it changes your heart. It changes your life. - -

- - Evangelicals have been on the cultural defensive, but they have waited in the wilderness, and now, in the fullness of time, they have come into possession of what they felt was once rightfully theirs, - - says Gomes.

- - With the White House and Tom DeLay in the House of Representatives, the attorney general, talk radio, the conservative Fox News. These are parts of the righteous army that has finally come into its own. - -

United States is a country made up of millions of Native Americans, Godless Americans, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhist who believe otherwise. Such exclusivity has the appearance of fundamentalist extremism, especially when politics and patriotism is mixed with the gospel.

* * * * * *

- - 9/11 was a wake-up call to the United States. Suddenly, our false sense of security was shaken. Now we realize we are vulnerable and that fear can lead many people to Christ. I see many signs of the Lord's return. This could be the generation that is going to hear Jesus shout from the heaven, and we will respond to be with him. And you don't want your loved ones to be left behind. - - Says The Christian Mullah Novelist, LaHaye.
