Fundamentalist Christians, the Bible and Israel. |
Fundamentalist Christians, the Bible and Israel.
Based on their interpretation of the Bible and its prophecies,
fundamentalist Christians see the Holocaust and Israel as fulfillments of
these prophecies, equate today's Israel, with Biblical Israel, and that
today's Jews as the descendents of Abraham. As a result, fundamentalist
Christians face the same dilemma that faces Israel today, namely, who fits
the definition of a "Jews". This also ignores the Jews' assimilations
throughout the centuries and the claim that many Ashkenazi Jews are
Caucasian (descendents of the Khazar), i.e., non-Semitic. Fundamentalist
Christian supporters of Israel include renouned evangelists Jerry Falwell
and Pat Robertson. Thus, fundamentalist Christians shy away from criticizing
Israel, while blaming the Palestinians and Arabs for the problems in the
Middle East, often using distorted, out-of-context facts to support their
claims. At the same time, they ignore Israel's sins, especially the original
sin against the Palestinians that started the conflict.
"In the former days God did separate Israel for Himself and give her the
land promised to Abraham. Israel was special among all the nations of the
earth (Deut. 7). But ultimately the blessing upon Abraham was to be given to
all the nations (Matt. 28:19-20). With the coming of Christ God fulfilled
all the promises to the fathers (Rom. 15:8). In this age, "God does not show
favoritism, but accepts people from every nation who fear Him and do what is
right" (Acts 10:34).
All of Israel's institutions were fulfilled in Christ -- including the land
concept (Heb. 3-4). The Old Testament clearly states that God kept His work
and gave the land to Israel. The notion that God had to give the land
"again" is without Biblical foundation.
There is nothing wrong with Jews living in a certain land, but to claim a
"divine right" to it and to employ this claim as a basis for disrupting,
hurting, and killing others is wrong. God is not with people when they
manipulate and intimidate others. God uses the wicked actions of people in
His purposes, but He does not sanction them. "
