[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an Arab American Christian and don’t understand the logic behind Christian Zionism. Is it based on the book of revelation - which most Catholic & Orthodox Christians believe it’s more symbolic in nature  but Evangelicals seem to interpret it more concretely ?

Is it true that Evangelicals are justifying the killing of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza because Christ’s second coming can only happen if all the Jews come back to Israel?

I’m asking a genuine question as I’m perplexed  about all the support Israel gets from  Evangelicals Christians in the US, which I have not seen from Christians in any other country.

It is crazy. I’m still trying to understand why Evangelical Christians believe it’s ok to keep funding an evil depopulation globalist named NETANYAHU.

Someone please explain this.[/quote]

It's a misidentification of the current secular ethnostate, which named itself Israel, with the historical Old Testament nation of Israel. It is based in a modernist (late 19th, early 20th century) take on scripture, not a historical one. As recently as Chesterton, it was admitted that Zionism (i.e., send the Jews to Palestine) was the racist take, not the other way around. Anyway, historically:
-Israel was a person (the renaming of Jacob in Genesis)
-Israel was then a nation (the descendants of Jacob)
-Israel was then fully realized in one person, Jesus Christ (read Romans 9, Galatians 3)
-All who are in Christ are in Israel (same ref.)

Some falsely call this "replacement" theology. It is really just the continuity of God's people throughout history, with the ethnic barrier to Gentiles being removed in Christ. [/quote]
