“What is Zionism and Who is Anti-Semitic? A Third Side of the Coin”

He then became a condemned political prisoner, and suffered the humiliation of an illegal mock trial in which he received a death sentence. Following this, the (High Priest, or president of the council) declared a war on terror, seeking to ethnically cleanse the nation of his disciples,* and chased them out of the land, (Acts 4-8:1). That’s quite a charge against a man who taught his disciples to “turn the other cheek” and refused to let them carry swords (hi-tech artillery of his day).

Christ was an advocate of true Zionism. It was neither Judaic (as noted above), like hose who crucified him nor political and non-Judaic as that today.* But,* a Zionist He was and is. He would rule in Zion,* (Psalm. 110:2). To this very day his throne sits upon the top of Mt. Zion, God’s holy hill, (Psalm 2:6)

Again in his prologue, Hart writes the following in an attempt to define true Zionism. “For those readers who are not intimately familiar with the terminology of the conflict I should point out that the Zion of spiritual Zionism is Mount Zion in Jerusalem.” (Zionism The Real Enemy of the Jews, The False Messiah, p. 28). He contrasted current political Zionism from Judaic Zionism.

It should be clear from Christ’s words and actions noted above, that he did not advocate a Zionism rooted in the mountain or territory of Israel in any form or fashion. Yet, he rules in Zion.

Three books of the New Testament clearly delineate between true Zionism and political or Judaic Zionism. The first is Galatians.

In chapter 4:24-27, Paul speaks of two women, Hagar and Sarah, two covenants, the Old and the New, two spiritual conditions, bondage and freedom, which represent two Zionist movements. One, the political national state of Jerusalem was spiritually enslaved with her children as represented by Hagar the Egyptian. The next he described as the heavenly Jerusalem (i.e. not of this world), represented by Sarah,* the freewoman and her children of the promise.

Note that the bondwoman symbolically representing national Israel, was “cast out” (v. 30), that she and her son might not inherit with the freewoman. This means the Zionism of Old Covenant Judaism is not a part of true spiritual, heavenly Zionism.

The next example is found in Hebrews 12:18-23, where the writer contrasts the Mountain in Sinai where the Old Covenant was given (to be compared with Galatians 4:25), and Mt. Zion, the heavenly city of Jerusalem, where Christ is king. Note that Zion in the text is called the city of the living God and the church,* (ekklesia), of Christ, in contrast to the political state of Israel situated in Palestine.

The last example in Revelation where the old city of Jerusalem which convicted Christ of “anti-Semitism” and crucified him on a cross outside the gates is called the “great city” (Revelation 11:8), and is once again spiritually styled as Egypt, implying bondage.

The descriptive phrase, “where also our Lord was crucified” identifies the city as Jerusalem. It could not be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem, (Luke 13:33). That same “great city” is burned by the Romans,* (Revelation 17:16-17; Luke 21:20-22), the very ally they feigned a treaty with (“we have no king but Caesar”) to wage their “war on terror” against the true Zionists, i.e. Christ and the church.

As the book closes,* we see the heavenly Jerusalem (compare with the Jerusalem above of Galatians 4:26), coming down out of heaven (not Palestine) as a bride adorned for her husband. To see this woman, John was taken to the top of a very high mountain, to see this new holy city coming down out of heaven from God. It is the true Jerusalem from heaven which has now come down to be with men.

So, now, who is “anti-Semitic?” Is it the religious Jewish Zionists who oppose political Zionism? The latter would say yes. Is it political Zionists who oppose religious Judaic Zionism? The latter would say yes. Or is it either or both who oppose Christ-centered Zionism (not to be confused with the right-wing political Zionist supporters) who see and understand that true Zionism is neither a political national state on earth nor part of Jewish religion?

It was a very sad day in Israel, when “ethnic cleansing” came home to roost. The Roman invasion of Judea which destroyed the temple and political state of Israel in A.D. 70,* was Christ’s final answer to the High Priest (Matthew 26:64). He had no desire to reign in literal Jerusalem over a political regime. He was to sit upon the throne and reign from Mount Zion in the heavens at the right hand of God. His scepter is a scepter of righteousness. His kingdom is neither anti-Semitic, anti-Arab, nor anti-Christian welcoming all who follow righteousness to dwell with him on true Zion’s holy hill.
