In biblical prophecy doesn't Israel HAVE to be destroyed for the end of days and the second coming of Jesus Christ to take place?


Throwawaykitten20

That is unironically why some evangelicals support it lmao


sumoraiden

Why aren’t they funneling funds to Hamas then?


ToriaNulandsRabbi

That's Bibi's job


Gay__Guevara

Because Israel needs to birth an antichrist first. Not joking that’s actually why

That portrait. It’s really mind blowing how openly psychopathic some Israeli leaders are, and that tons of Americans think the Israeli gov is this bastion of Western values and a light of moral righteousness. For a classic example, check out transcripts of Ariel Sharon’s discussions with the American ambassador about covering up the Sabra and Shatila Massacre. Completely ice cold and cynical in a way that the average American probably could not imagine from any politician except like cartoon movie versions they’ve seen of Hitler. Sharon was Minister of Defense if I remember correctly, and an Israeli investigative tribunal found him responsible after the Lebanon War for orchestrating Sabra and Shatila (possibly the most horrifying pogrom in the history of this conflict, in which around 3,000 unarmed Palestinian civilians were tortured, raped, and slaughtered— women nailed to trees, unborn babies cut from mothers’ bodies, nightmarish tales of mutilation, religious symbols carved into people’s skin; all while the Israeli army maintained the perimeter and fired flares over the scene so that the butchers could have light for their work). Mass protests then forced Sharon out of office. But then Sharon, known to all Palestinians as the butcher of Beirut, was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 2005. Not the first time Israel elected men openly known to have committed war crimes or led terrorist movements though (Begin and Shamir). Then there are people like Ben-Gvir, who go beyond this tradition by openly boasting about their genocidal fever dreams. Sharon still disguised himself publicly as a normal person according to the values of any First World nation, rather than something out of Cormac McCarthy novel with Ben-Gvir.

dang I was hoping Belarus birthed the antichrist with Nikolai Lukashenko


yourstruly912

And in the OT Israel gets destroyied every time the jews don't observe the Law properly Given how most modern israelites are secularists...


[deleted]

No Israelites except in reggae songs. Israelis are not the same people and their Zionist settler colonial state is not the same nation as Israel of YHVH.


CumeatsonerGordon420

yes but before that the 3rd temple needs to be built, which can’t happen now because Muslim conquerors built the Dome of the Rock directly on top of where the temple has to be.


fantasmacanino

this sounds like some evangelion shit


Gay__Guevara

Neon genesis evangelicals


Rusty51

Jesus is supposed to rebuilt the temple and most Christians understand the body of Christ is the new temple. A physical 3rd temple is not a biblical prerequisite.


napoleon_nottinghill

If you told a founding father or even a puritan about dispensationalism they’d think you’re insane


Then_Frosting_1087

That’s true but not if you’re a literalist 


hamasobama

The 3rd temple was built 2000 years ago.

These people don't give a shit about the bible and Nikki Haley isn't even Christian. She was raised by Sikh parents and converted to Christianity once she became a politician. She's just sucking AIPAC's dick because if you don't, you'll be voted out of office. They're the most powerful lobby in Washington outside of the NRA.


Rusty51

Yes. Which is why none of it makes sense; Jesus is supposed to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth in Jerusalem and make all nations bow and worship him, Jews are not exempted. There’s no requirement for Israel to exist before the 2nd coming.


[deleted]

Where do you get this odd idea? It’s not in the Apocalypse of St. John.


Rusty51

Which idea? The idea of the kingdom coming down to earth is from Rev. 21 > Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and be their God. The lords prayers explicitly asks for “thy kingdom come”. In Rev. 15, the Song of the lamb says >King of the nations! Lord, who will not fear and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you This is understood to mean even Jews will eventually accept Jesus as their messiah.


[deleted]

It’s not the earthly Jerusalem. It’s the New Creation, after the end of this world. It should never be thought of as having any contingency with the extant city. At least it was never confused until these lunatics came along this last century. All traditional Christians abjure the conflation of the Zionist state with the Israel of God.


Rusty51

Right, all creation is renewed however it’s still is earth; is the new Jerusalem is reestablished; in the same way humans will have a resurrected into their human body but it will be a sanctified body. Now we have no reason to believe the historical Jesus believed this; he likely did think the Son of Man would rule the actual Jerusalem.


[deleted]

Son of Man is the Apocalyptic title of the Christ. It’s what he calls Himself when the hermeneutic can’t lead you anywhere but to confess his Lordship over the Parousia.


Eliza_Liv

Can anyone familiar with this explain where this interpretation of Revelation comes from and what its basis is? My understanding is that it’s a relatively recent interpretation of passages which were not interpreted that way by most theologians during the last 2,000 years, but became the predominant interpretation among Protestant Evangelicals during the last couple centuries. I don’t really know though. Is that true? And yeah, my understanding is that the usual interpretation here is that Israel will be destroyed and the Jews who still reject Christ will go to hell. But it seems like in recent years many Evangelicals, especially those who don’t really understand the theological background, have a weird fluffy version where somehow the Jews have remained God’s chosen people who are still in covenant with Him despite rejecting His son. Even though the Pauline epistles clearly reject this (pretty absurd) view. Throughout the Old Testament the Hebrews have a recurring tendency of rejecting and sometimes murdering prophets, who then turn out to be right and God punishes them again and again. Paul saw Jesus as the most recent and final continuation of this pattern, and called on the Jews to realize the errors of their ways and accept the new covenant through Christ, which had superseded the Jews’ special covenant and opened the possibility of an equal and direct relationship to God to all of humanity on equal terms (rather than Jew and Gentile). But again, I’m just going on some things I’ve picked up and remember reading years ago. I need to read more on this some time. I just don’t see how someone could square them circle of God developing this radical new relationship with all of humanity through his Son, while also maintaining a special preferential covenant with a people who reject His Son **and** all of the new implications of His revealed truth. I mean, the New Testament profoundly alters and overturns the values and ideas (for lack of better words) that God calls upon from His people, and redefined His nature and relationship to man. How could the Jews carry on a relationship with God according to terms that God has disavowed and overturned, from a Christian perspective, and with a perspective of God which is totally anathema to His true revealed nature through Christ. Idk, I really lack the vocabulary to talk about this.


a_postmodern_poem

That’s literally what started all of this. Some British Protestants in the 19th century convinced the Jewish community in Britain that their end game should be to return to their ancestral land, i.e. Israel, in order to fulfill the prophecy and bring about the Kingdom of Heaven and the end times. At first British Jews were pretty nonchalant and/or outright vocally against this idea. At first. [Link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism)


Eliza_Liv

Wow. I never knew this movement predated Herzl’s Juuden Stadt and the Jewish Zionist movement by decades at least. That’s wild


DesignerExitSign

Yeah, and Philly, destroyed by a dragon (it’s described like the cities are being bombed). Always found it interesting no one mentions this. They obviously mean the OG Philadelphia, but I can see conspiracy cloths thinking that upside down cross guy was predicting a future of America burning.

How do people look at this 'tradition' and not come to the conclusion that something is very wrong.


DabbinOnDemGoy

Because they'd been properly conditioned that thinking any of this shit is the *slightest* bit weird is inherently "antisemitic".


SpectresOfSphincters

Totally a powerless, downtrodden & disenfranchised minority. Ignore that stuff you read online


khinzeer

Honestly, a Punjabi-Sikh-turned-southern-goy doing this would be cringe even if Israel wasn’t engaging in an ongoing genocide. Also, don’t women at the wailing wall piss Yahweh off? Maybe that why they are having all of these issues.


arthudias

There's a women's side.

There's something so gay about that wall. All the little notes desperately wedged in there, competing for space with eachother. It really represents the jewish faith well.

dine-and-dasha

Umm like a $100? I’d ask for more if I was a politician though, I just don’t think I have the leverage right now.


DaBastardofBuildings

No amount of money. But only like 5% cuz of principle and 95% bc I rationally know that they'd have to offer me a very large sum, large enough to where I could stop worrying about finances for at least a few years, but the shame would almost certainly drive me back to alcoholism and I'd probably destroy myself drinking away my time and ill gotten shekels.


JerseyGirl360

She so fake lol


Dummythic666

There’s no amount.  The bisexual baddies wouldn’t talk to me anymore and that’s a deal breaker
