Christian Zionists “impair the interests” of Israel in numerous ways. This is particularly true if one considers the survival of Judaism to be in the best interest of Israel or Jews worldwide. Unfortunately in the chest thumping contests of “pro-Israel” zealotry, the damage done by Christian Zionists gets little attention. Behind the protestations of love for Israel, and the adoption of external trappings of Jewish practice, the core of the Christian Zionist agenda is the termination of Judaism as a religion separate from Christianity. In the thousands of pages of and hundreds of hours of narrative I have watched over the last seven years, the Christian Zionist scripts vary only slightly. There is currently disagreement about the timing, and where the born again believers will be during the Tribulation, but the ending is always the same – the “restoration” and “salvation” of Israel is the trigger which brings about the Christian millennial utopia. This is achieved through the termination of Judaism, one way or another. One way is proselytizing.
….Proselytizing is not just recruitment to a “different club” but involves the blatant demonization of Judaism by those who are the most outspoken about their love for Jews and Israel. Jewish leadership in this partnership often point to the sincerity of Christian Zionists as evidence of their trustworthiness and unlimited support. Christian Zionists are indeed very sincere in their concern for Israel and Jews, and many have committed their entire careers to this project. Robert Stearns has claimed recently that he would die for Israel. They very sincerely wish to save Israel from Islam, and Jews from Judaism. It would be hard to say which they see as the greater threat – both must be eradicated to bring about the Millennium.
