Why All Christians Should Embrace Israel- Exclusive: Joseph Farah Battles Those Who Seek to 'Delegitimize' Biblical Prophecies

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Joseph Farah * WND

I find it disturbing and perplexing when I meet Christians who suggest Israel has no significance or connection to their faith.

Let’s examine the biblical case for the Jews return to their homeland, which is not only predicted in the Bible, it is commanded. It is mandated. Without the fulfilled prophecies, the Christian faith itself is neutered.

  • “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.” (Isaiah 14:1-2)
  • “That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.” (Jeremiah 11:5)
  • “For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.” (Ezekiel 34:11-13)
  • “For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.” (Hosea 3:4-5)
  • “And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.” (Amos 9:14-15)
  • “But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” (Obadiah 1:17)
  • “Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.” (Zephaniah 3:19-20)
  • “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.” (Zechariah 8:7-8)

I could go on and on. In fact, in Jeremiah 23:7, we are promised that this regathering of the Jews in Israel will one day be viewed as a bigger miracle than the Exodus: “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.”

          WEll, the key here is “are those running Israel today the same people that God said were his chosen?” NO they are not. They are Rothschild khazars without an ounce of Hebrew/jewish blood in them. In fact, real Jews have had to seek asylum in both London and NY. Those running Israel are satanists and their immigrants are also khazars, who are turkits.

          The Khazars were one of 7 cultures that worshipped the phallic symbol. That is why the talmud has such perversion in it such as “…. it is forbidden to rape a child under 3.5 years old. Its why Israel has legalized prostitution and its legal to kidnap women from other countries and force them into prostitution. Its why they go for penis enhancement, its like a symbol of their faith. They control most of the porn industry etc. DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT ISRAEL BEING GODS CHOSEN ONES, RATHER SATAN’S FAVORITE CHOSEN PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY SATANISM PERVADES THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF MOST INFILTRATED GOVERNMENTS, INCLUDING OURS.

      What I’ve always found so ironic is how anybody claiming Christianity can be so anti-Semitic. You see Zionist this or Zionist that on the web, as if Zionism is a dirty word, some of the hatred being spewed just straight from hell in its very venom and verbiage, its vileness, would make Adolf Hitler proud. Yet Almighty God is the ultimate Zionist! Israel and the people of Israel are His program, Israel becoming a nation again His doing, and He has warned Israel’s enemies of their demise. It is as plain and simple as this, in much scripture. It’s one of the insanities of our day and age, how anybody claiming the Lord could hold Him in such Satanic contempt and disobedience, could be so filled with such hatred for a people they must pervert God’s word with such as replacement theology, to justify being filled with this evil. I really can’t see how any anti-Semite, how anybody speaking for Satan, can possibly stand before God. Let’s put it this way, is any such vile hatred of the Holy Spirit?

        You are the biggest shill on this forum, 100% percent of your post are 100% B.S.

          Thank you! I’m serious. People like you, and heretofore all such comments past, present, and future really make my day. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

          Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

          Hope you someday do something about that restless conscience. Mazel tov!

        Zionism is a dirty word because Zionists have, for more than a century, been terrorists, assassins, and mass murderers.

        Among their victims are large numbers of Christians, including Christian Arabs in Palestine.

        “Those who say they are Judaeans, but who are not,” are the Ashkenazi (European) Jews,
        descended from the Khazar tribe of central Asia, MAGOG, who were forced to convert to Judaism 1200 years ago.

        Only one nation killed the prophets. Only one nation is referred to as a “whore” in the Jewish Bible.

        Zionism is a dirty word because of the subversion of governments around the world.
        Look at the Supreme Court of Israel — notice the symbols of Freemasonry. Notice the pyramid with the all-seeing eye. The same symbol that is on your Federal Reserve Notes.

        Zionism is a dirty word because of the warmongering Zionists have done, for over a hundred years. They’re still doing it, demanding that we destroy Syria and Iran for them.

        Zionism is a dirty word because Zionists believe – as Karl Marx predicted – that the Jewish People are their own Messiah. The suffering of Jews was described as “The Crucifixion”
        by New York Governor Martin H. Glynn in 1919. Auschwitz is the new Calvary, and the state of Israel is the new miraculous Resurrection.

        Zionism is a dirty word because Zionists founded a lawless, murderous country and gave it a blasphemous name.

        Zionism is a dirty word because Zionists (by the teachings of Sabbatae Zevi, the Kaballah, and Sigmund Freud) believe that good and evil are one and the same.

        Check out the book of Revelation, starting with chapter 13. Jerusalem was one of the cities known as having been “built on seven hills.”

          I feel your pain. But you failed to mention the Jews hiding in your closets, under your bed, and those Zionists causing colony collapse disorder in the bee population.

          JustAComment:

          What I failed to make clear to you is this: Zionists have cast themselves as the villains of modern history. They have chosen to be the bad guys in our drama. I could quote them for a while, but why bother, when one can just wait for the next outrageous act.

          And this: the story ends badly for them. They are destroying their own reputation, and they are destroying themselves. No one will think well of them, when they are gone.

      Israel can do a lot better without these Christian Zionists who give Israel another black eye in public opinion, and who think they know Torah and haf-Torah better than the Rabbis.

      Israel deserves ONE thing. the chance to make peace with its neighbors without foreign interference and without foreign money influencing either side of the treaties.

        WE dont owe Israel diddly squat. Nor does the world. the “persecution” they have suffered over centuries was blowback of those whom they swindled, murdererd and defrauded.
        the scam they’re running now in USA- destroying the financial system, taking over govt to drive us into bankruptcy for endless wars, usuary, porn, abortion, gay homo lifestyle etc etc.

        there is a very good reason they are always despised- then they cry victim when they get what their criminality has sown. wake up and learn some spiritual discernment

      “The Jews had misinterpreted God’s promise of eternal favor to Israel: “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is His name: If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:35-37. The Jews regarded their natural descent from Abraham as giving them a claim to this promise. But they overlooked the conditions which God had specified. Before giving the promise, He had said, “I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. . . . For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:33, 34. {DA 106.1}

      To a people in whose hearts His law is written, the favor of God is assured. They are one with Him. But the Jews had separated themselves from God. Because of their sins they were suffering under His judgments. This was the cause of their bondage to a heathen nation. Their minds were darkened by transgression, and because in times past the Lord had shown them so great favor, they excused their sins. They flattered themselves that they were better than other men, and entitled to His blessings. {DA 106.2}

      “Seek to ‘Delegitimize’ Biblical Prophecies”

      ROFLIMAFO, what you mean you actually believe they had legitimacy in the first place? Israel was wiped off the face of Earth by Rome in 70 CE. Instigated by Roman emperor Nero who hated them.

      The military occupation of Palestine by a bunch of European WW2 refugees calling themselves Israel, is very much on a par with a bunch of delinquent Harry Potter fans taking over your home at gunpoint and renaming it Hogwarts.

      Israel is no more, their prophesy ended with Revelation (dated to exactly 70 CE) which describes their demise accurately as not one stone left standing upon another, because Rome massacred every last man, women, child, sucking baby, their livestock, burnt their crops and homes and raised Jerusalem to the ground.

      Modern Judaism was invented post 70 CE, it’s not that much older than Christianity which was invented in the 4th century CE by political Rome. The gospels are pretty much word for word out of the Egyptian book of the dead. There is noting unique or original in the bible.

      :lol:

      • LifeIs

        That is just not true. Here is a brief, but good, discussion of dating the book of Revelation.

        https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1552-when-was-the-book-of-revelation-written

        The Babylonian Talmud was compiled, but not finished, by around 500 A.D.

        Christianity was founded in the 1st century A.D., as reported by documents included in the Bible AND several Roman historians. Your theory that everyone who wrote about Jesus and his followers was part of a conspiracy is ridiculous, and follows from a Jewish curse, “May his name be obliterated.” And it doesn’t explain the churches founded in the first century.

        One of the things unique and original in the Bible is Jesus’ insistence that race, ethnicity, and religion do not make a person good. Individual conduct does.

        Creative interpretation of Biblical text, for the purpose of equating it to some other ancient text, is madness. You cannot establish ANYTHING by such methods.

      Talk about cherry picking! This is why Christians should ask God for discernment, and study their Bibles, instead of taking the word of others who may, or may not be wolves in sheep’s clothing.

      It’s funny to me how people who support Israel fanatically, can pull all these verses out of the Bible supposedly proving we all better support them too, or else, while completely ignoring all the many verses where God states that their occupation of the land depends on their obedience and faith in Him.

      Not to mention what Jesus said about the subject in the New Testament.

      America, throw off the YOKE of Israel.
      America is like MASTER-BLASTER in “Thunderdome”. The dwarf Israel controlling the retarded giant:
      “christian-zionism” is today’s JUDAS ISCARIOT .
      Have you not read the bible passages about yoking, and removing the yoke?
      America & Christians have been YOKED by those who crucified Our Lord.
      In the bible the Jews BRAG about how they parasitically controlled Egypt AND Babylon. The bible clearly tells how Abraham twice “pimped” his own wife for monetary gain from Kings of GOOD character. Then ignorant people say one is wrong to talk about Jews controlling things. TRY READING THE BIBLE, the jews BRAG about it, insinuating themselves into positions of power is part of their culture.
      The Jews want to rebuild their “temple” so they can return to ANIMAL/BLOOD sacrifices, where they smear the blood of the animal all over (the bible describes in detail how they should rub blood all over themselves) and burn the corpse for a “PLEASING ODOR onto “their” lord”. The Jews worship a WAR god. The CRUCIFIXTION of JESUS CHRIST was the FINAL sacrifice. Or don’t any of you EVER read the Bible?
      Isreal worships a WAR god. Christians have no business supporting or associating with WAR god worshipers. The only Jews Christians should embrace are those Jews who see the LIGHT and convert. WAR god followers do not embrace PEACE.
      “Judeo-Christian” is an OXYMORON. WAR-God vs PEACE-God. The Old Testament followers worship a WAR GOD and spend their lives hating, reliving every imagined slight, and dreaming of VENGENCE ….. “NEVER FORGIVE and NEVER FORGET” …. they still go on about Egypt and Babylon after MILLENIA. New Testament followers (are supposed to) worship a loving, forgiving God, and to CLOSE the Old Testament, as it has been FULLFILLED by the Crucifixion of Jesus. If you are following the OLD Testament you ARE NOT and CANNOT be a CHRISTian.
      “ANTI-Christ” does not get any greater then to CRUCIFY HIM, send agents (Saul of Tarsus and many others) to kill his followers, and then instigate POGROMS against the early Christians. Judaism IS the ANTI-CHRIST.
      “christian-zionism” is the modern day JUDAS ISCARIOT, attacking CHRISTianity while feigning to BE Christian. Kissing Christ on the cheek for the Temple Priests.
      Jews refuse, even to this day, to set aside 2,000 years of venomous hatred for Our Savior.
      “Israel won the war [WW I]; we made it, we thrived on it, we profited from it. It was our supreme revenge on Christianity.” — The Jewish Ambassador from Austria to the UK in London, Count Mensdorf.

      “My opinion of Christian Zionists? They’re scum. But don’t tell them that. We need all the useful idiots we can get right now.” — Benyamin Netanyahu, at the time a former Israeli prime minister — SPECIAL FOR JOSEPH FARAH ————-

      The “rapture” Prophets for PROFIT are ANTI-Christ DEATH CULTISTS. God/Jesus put you in this LIFE to learn “soul lessons”, to increase your consciousness to the point of Redemption. Hagee and his Ilk REJECT the LIFE God gave you, and dangle a “shortcut” in front of people, just as SATAN dangled Temptation in front of Jesus. Do not follow the ANTI-Christ lies of FALSE prophets. Their “shortcut” of cheating God’s lessons does NOT lead to Heaven, any more than cheating on school work teaches you the subject. Hagee, Robertson, the whole group, do NOT believe in anything except the MONEY they collect for leading their Flocks astray.
      If millions of christians want war then, quite frankly, they are not following Christ. His kingdom is not of this world. And “he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.” Sorry, warmongers, you mistake another for your Lord. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they are the children of God.” And “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” And “Love your enemies; do good to them that persecute you.” So who are these so-called christians and their leaders following? Who is this god of war?
      The ESSENCE of Judaism is vengence. The ESSENCE of CHRISTianity is forgiveness. Never the two can meet.
      “Judeo-Christian” is an OXYMORON. WAR-God vs PEACE-God. The Old Testament followers worship a WAR GOD and spend their lives hating, reliving every imagined slight, and dreaming of VENGENCE ….. “NEVER FORGIVE and NEVER FORGET” …. they still go on about Egypt and Babylon after MILLENIA. New Testament followers (are supposed to) worship a loving, forgiving God, and to CLOSE the Old Testament, as it has been FULLFILLED by the Crucifixion of Jesus. If you are following the OLD Testament you ARE NOT and CANNOT be a CHRISTian.

      The Semitic peoples called the Tribes of Israel or Hebrews no longer exist in significant numbers.
      What we have in Israel are Russians with some religious teachings that only goes back some
      1000 years. To plug Russians into the old Holy Lands and claim that a return has occurred is
      tantamount to people from England moving into Mesa Verde in Colorado and claiming they have returned.

      What they are is usurpers.
