The faith, values and lifestyles of people one gives him or herself to can and will often form an alliance between them. Those alliances can and will impact one’s life. We see this development form in children, teenagers and into adulthood. We often hear children described as “like father like son” or “like mother like daughter” or “the apple didn’t fall far from the tree”. In yet other social settings children, teenagers and adults may adopt others’ faith, values and lifestyles very different from those of their parents or culture, especially if one is Christian and the other isn’t.
The Scriptures teach true believers of such alliances, warning to be very careful with whom we associate lest we adopt an alliance that denies or repudiates the commands and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is full of examples of evil, sinful and ungodly alliances that God’s then “chosen people” (Exo. 19:5–6), Israel, made with many surrounding nations. In Israel’s alliances with unbelieving nations practicing child sacrifice, idol worship, paganism and every form of debauchery known to humanity, ancient Israel became just like those nations until finally God had enough and gave Israel “a certificate of divorce” (Jer. 3:8). And God never took that Israel back because she had prostituted herself to multiple forms of evil and ungodliness.
This is why the Holy Spirit so very clearly warns believers to “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off” (Rom. 11:22). [My emphasis] Read Rom. 10:1–13. God doesn’t allow union of the holy with the unholy, nor the just with the unjust.
This is also why Jesus said of unbelieving Jews of Israel “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44). Post-Calvary, and contextually, Jesus twice called unbelieving Jews of Israel “a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9) because “they say they are Jews and are not but lie”, in direct relation to Rom. 2:28–29 and Rom. 11:22.
God’s divorce of Israel was followed by 400 years of total silence from God to Israel, in which time Israel, in her anxiety and distress of not hearing from God, the religious ruling elite made hundreds of laws to uphold the Ten Commandments! Yet, in her sinful rebellion Israel didn’t return to God nor did God ever remarry that unfaithful Israel again! But today these truths aren’t being taught in the evangelical Zionist Movement church as false teachers tell believers it’s their obligation to find solidarity and unity with unbelieving Jews of Israel. In utter rebellion, millions of believers are finding illegitimate and ungodly reasons to make alliances with unbelieving Jews of Israel who vehemently reject Jesus Christ and in that process approve the genocidal works of Israel murdering thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. See that shocking destruction here and here.
Genocide by Israel in Gaza is a highly inconvenient and often denied reality by Israel and their Zionist Christians in the U.S. One writer says “But when it comes to Israel’s war in Gaza, which has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians, injured thousands more, and flattened the coastal strip, making it largely uninhabitable, the U.S. government is nowhere near arriving at that conclusion. The same is true for many U.S. religious groups, including Jews and Christians who have, with some exceptions, remained silent despite growing recognition of the crime.” (Source).
Another source article states “Today, one of the most influential and consequential forms of interference comes from activist Christian Zionism. Rooted in distorted biblical interpretations, this movement offers a theological framework that blesses military policies, illegal settlement expansion, and the continued denial of Palestinian rights. Wrapped in religious language, the message has become a powerful political tool that is being used to justify actions in Gaza amounting to plausible genocide…The latest illustration came with the visit of roughly 1,000 American pastors, led by Mike Evans, a prominent Christian Zionist activist who has made Jerusalem the center of his operations. Evans, founder of the “Friends of Zion” museum, claims that 100 million Americans support his theological vision — one that endorses a state ruling over millions of Palestinians without rights, while pursuing Jewish supremacy across the entire land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.” Where is the outcry from true believers?!
Rather than teaching the truths of Jesus who said of unbelieving religious Jews “You are of your father the devil … He was a murderer from the beginning” and they are “a synagogue of Satan”, thousands of Zionist pastors and Bible teachers in full rebellion make alliances with unbelieving Jews of Israel whom God divorced! And who in the church is paying attention? Very few! It’s as though many professing believers today have made themselves in the image of unbelieving Jews of Israel in order to satisfy the evil status quo of the Zionist Movement wherein Israel can do no wrong. Israel is allowed to plunder and murder and destroy innocent Palestinian lives, many of whom are brothers and sisters in Christ! But, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!” (Isa. 5:20–21).
Jesus said “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen” (Matt. 28:18–20). [My emphasis] Rather than obey Christ’s command, millions of professing believers are making themselves one with unbelieving, ungodly, Christ-denying Jews of Israel in order to satisfy the illegitimate demands of the Zionist Movement. God commanded to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph. 5:11). In many churches that command is silenced as millions of deceived believers exalt in unbelieving Jews of Israel and are not discerning of it.
God said “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits” (1 Cor. 15:33). And God’s word plainly tells us that God divorced unbelieving Jews of Israel and identified the same as “a synagogue of Satan”. On what basis then, would a true believer want to find an alliance with the unbelieving Jews of Israel? God also said “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4). [My emphasis] God further commanded, but few discern and believe it: “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God” (2 Cor. 6:14–16). It’s apparent those truths are allowed to be destroyed in order to placate the evil Zionist works for the praise and monetary enrichment of unbelieving Jews of Israel. It’s sinful!
The spiritual poison and alliance of Zionism has reached U.S. President Donald Trump, whose own son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is an unbelieving Orthodox Jew, married to President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, who converted from Christianity to Judaism in order to be able to marry him. I call your attention to think about that in all sobriety and humility before Almighty God in Christ. Ivanka Trump renounced Jesus Christ in exchange for Judaism! Can’t make this stuff up! What an absolute horror! It’s nearly an exact replay of ancient godless Israel inter-marrying with many unbelieving nations. And the sad truth is that our own President Trump is being influenced by an unbelieving, Jesus-denying alliance who God said are “a synagogue of Satan”. And much worse, millions of American professing believers encourage Donald Trump in that anti-Christ process!
By prolonged and ardent alliances with unbelieving Jews of Israel, President Trump has made and continues making very poor decisions where Israel is involved. PM Benjamin Netanyahu, it seems, has an unprecedented amount of clout and power over President Trump which I believe is due to his daughter and son-in-law being Orthodox Jews. It will not surprise me when President Trump makes criticism of Israel a punishable offense, which seems to be the path being forged by Israel and Trump. Just the fact that the Trump administration calls out other nations for their genocide, but refuses to call out and condemn Israel’s genocide of Gaza as “genocide”, clearly indicates that he is under the control of an Israel-First spirit and fear of U.S. Zionist Christians who give hundreds of millions of tithe dollars, intended for world evangelism, to unbelieving Israel, a nation that vehemently denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, just like Muslims!
And it seems the general consensus in all this Zionist evil by evangelical church leadership is, “Get in line with our Zionist plans or get out!” They’re actually intolerant of the authority of the Lord Jesus and the things He taught concerning unbelieving Jews of Israel. But that’s not new. It was the exact same in ancient Israel when God’s prophets strongly warned Israel’s leaders who rebelled against God causing God to ultimately divorce Israel. Possibly an unseen and unwritten divorce by God is occurring today, Rom. 11:22, of professing believers for rejecting Jesus’ truths of unbelieving Jews of Israel and exchanging the truth for a lie. They prefer unbelieving Jews to Christ! Their defense is of Darby’s and Scofield’s Dispensational theology and not the testimony of Jesus. Their words and deeds prove disregard for Jesus and that they prefer loving, pandering to and defending unbelieving Christ-denying Jews of Israel, instead of Jesus. That’s anathema!
There is no spiritual remedy, except true humbled repentance, for preferring, honoring, uniting with and finding solidarity with unbelieving Jews of Judaism, instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ can’t be preached as being in unity with unbelieving Jews of Israel, no quite the opposite. Will we believe and defend Jesus’ testimony of unbelieving Jews of Israel, e.g. Matt. 23:13–35, John 8:44, Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9, or believe the corrupt Dispensational theology by which the unbelieving Jews of Israel hold sway over millions of professing Christians? One can’t have it both ways. One cannot be in unity with unbelieving Jews who openly reject Christ, and Christ. And any preacher who says you can do both, is guilty of betraying Christ as did Judas Iscariot!
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
