Zionism in the sense of the return of all Jews to Israel
2006-07-18 13:57:33 · update #1
I am a Christian Zionist. I am working with Messianic Jews to help spread the Gospel to the people of the Land of Israel. And, contrary to the belief of some, God has not abandoned His people Israel, even in their disobedience.
Romans 11, written by Paul, is quite clear. "So, I ask, "God has not rejected his people, has he?" Of course not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham from the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago..." (Verses 1-2a)
For a time, the Jews are disobedient. Nevertheless, God loves them, as it is written, "For God's gifts and calling never change." (Romans 11:29)
God deeded the land to Abraham, in the form of a covenant (Genesis 15) as a Royal Land Grant. It hasn't been nullified, and the land belongs to his descendants to this day.

No.
Israel kicked God off of the throne long before Jesus came:
1Sa 8:6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they have said, `Give to us a king to judge us;' and Samuel prayeth unto Jehovah.
1Sa 8:7 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Hearken to the voice of the people, to all that they say unto thee, for thee they have not rejected, but Me they have rejected, from reigning over them.
That could be why they didn't recognize their King.

Yes, I do believe in their return to Israel. It is part of Bible Prophecy.

Sorry, but I need you to be more specific. What about Zionism?

Zion in referring to the pure in heart? Yes, I believe Zion is being built upon the American continent. We are literally gathering Zion now.

Yes. It's a major theme in prophecy.

Absolutely it is their land given to them by God.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
