‘State of Israel’ Statement
The atrocities suffered in Jewish history, particularly in Europe, have generated an understandable sympathy in the western world toward the resurgence of Jewish political independence in the modern State of Israel.
to this, the widespread teaching among Christian churches, arising from John Darby's rediscovery of biblical prophecy yet-to-be-fulfilled concerning Israel's future, and the mistakenly linked teaching that the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy of a 'nation born-in-a-day', has generated further support for the present-day political entity in Palestine known as the State of Israel.
| The Evangelical Lie |
a significant lack of knowledge of the Bible and its historical context in quotes by Church leaders from Holy Scripture concerning Israel, as well as the presumption that there is some form of continuity between the modern political state of Israel and the nation which entered into covenant with God at Sinai, seriously exacerbates confusion and contrary opinions in this regard and leads to a serious misrepresentation of the Christian position relative to Israel today.

It is wrong for any Christian in any capacity to ever give support for a fascist state,
that is, a state which discriminates among its own citizenry on a race-based nationalist identity,
whether that state be Vichy France, Mussolini's Italy, or Nazi Germany;
by Afrikaners in South Africa or by Jews in the State of Israel today.

rise of modern Islamic terrorism against Israel and against the West for its apparent unconditional support for Israel has greatly added to this problem, because the root historical cause of this terrorism has been so obscured, sometimes deliberately.
It has suited Islamic jihadists to pretend that their mission against the Jews and the West arises from the Qur'an as the founding document of Islam. This is not so, but this approach has then further been used by non-Muslims and Christians to justify unconditional support for the State of Israel as a good and godly act, morally obligatory on all who seek peace.
for most of Islamic history, Muslim nations have been a Jewish refuge from the persecutions of Christian Europe, whether that be in its Byzantine phase, as Holy Roman Empire, or in Medieval times.
The rise of modern Islamic terrorism can be linked directly to the rise of Zionist nationalism which, as the Jewish Irgun, began attacking civilian buses in Palestine in the 1930s. This terrorism with its tragic consequences for the Palestinian Arab population has resulted in the refugee-camp culture which has given rise to retaliation and its associated corruptions and violence. There are no innocents in this violence except the victims.
The continuing inadequate accountability within the State of Israel, and the area controlled by it, for its violation of the human rights of non-Jews has been consistently facilitated by the United States of America by vetoing any censorship or sanction by the United Nation Security Council in this regard, and in particular by providing the financial aid and resources to the State of Israel which makes this lack of accountability possible.
In December 1977, Israel passed a law making it a criminal offence to preach the gospel to Jews in Israel, liable to 5-year prison or 3-years for any Jew so converted. |
The modern State of Israel identifies itself as a Jewish State internally and in its foreign policy, that is – it is not a State of its own citizens of whom more than 20% are not Jewish in spite of a race-based bias in its immigration policy.
while the State of Israel practices religious toleration toward Christian evangelists preaching among its Arab Israeli citizens, if they dare to begin evangelising among Israel's Jewish population they are immediately expelled from that country.
a spiritually obedient Israel –
| "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! |
| May they [alone] be secure who love You!" |
to a spiritually disobedient Israel, God said:
"Go now to My place that was in Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at first,
and see what I did to it because of the evil of My people Israel.
And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD,
and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,
therefore I will do to the house that is called by My name, and in which you trust,
and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
And I will cast you out of My sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim [in Assyrian captivity].
"As for you [Jeremiah], do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them,
and do not intercede with Me,for I will not hear you." (Jeremiah 7:12-16).

God is to destroy Israel's temple!
God is to cast them out of the land!
prophet of God reports and it is also written for our instruction today –
"The LORD said to me: 'Do not pray for the welfare of this people' [unrepentant national Israel]."
the Lord Jesus, the Christ of God, said that –
"Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled... And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." (Luke 21:24-27) |
the "until" will continue.
