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?

of Temple Mount in Jerusalem, sacred site to Muslims, Jews, and Christians.

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.
