Episode 9 | Biblical Zion & (Anti)Christian Zionism: The Land, the Temple, & the People of Zion

Mar 7, 2026

1. You Asked for It (Q&A from Congregants & Listeners):

Doesn't Christian Zionism attempt to control God's timeline (that Jesus forbids us from even knowing, much less controlling!)?


2. Biblical Zion & (Anti)Christian Zionism:

In this episode we had a special guest guest discussion with Pastor Ben Hurst. We examine the three pillars of Zion in the Bible over against the three pillars of modern day (so-called) "Christian" Zionism: the Land, the Temple (or Governing Power and Presence), and the People of Zion. We show how the geopolitical vision of contemporary "Christian" Zionism is diametrically (and diabolically!) opposed to the biblical vision of all-nations Zion in Christ. The discussion makes it clear: the Christian Zionism espoused by many "evangelical" Zionists is a creation of the spirit of the antichrist (described in 1 John 4) and is decided unchristian, even anti-Christian.
