HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
-
2014: Vatican rejects “chosen people” claim, calls on Israel to end “occupation” Greek-Melchite Archbishop Cyrille Bustros sparked an interreligious firestorm when he suggested that Israel was “using Scripture” to continue its occupation of Palestinian territory. “We Christians cannot speak of the promised land as an exclusive right for a privileged Jewish people,” Bustros continued. “This promise was nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people – all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people.”

2010: Benjamin Netanyahu claims Ezekiel 37’s Vision of “Dry Bones” Has Been Fulfilled “Speaking on the recent 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz in Poland, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed the fulfillment of the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones. Netanyahu said, “Armed with the Jewish spirit, the justice of man, and the vision of the prophets, we sprouted new branches and grew deep roots. Dry bones became covered with flesh, a spirit filled them, and they lived and stood on their own feet.”

2006: Paul Findley – Control of US Policies by the Israeli Lobby “The two groups make strange bedfellows. Judaic doctrine makes no mention of Jesus Christ. Christian Zionists, in a radical interpretation of the Bible’s Book of Revelations, believe that on the Second Coming of Christ, all people of the Judaic faith will instantly be destroyed or converted to Christianity. They are bound tightly together by an immediate interest– survival of a strong, expanding Israel as an essential precondition for the arrival on earth of their separate messiahs.”

2002: Jewish Expulsion and Jewish Exile in Scholastic Thought “It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of Jewish exile in Christian thought. The dispersion of the Jews following the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and Vespasian was understood as divine punishment for the rejection (not necessarily the killing) of Christ and therefore of God’s grace. “

MCNews: In the Works: Jerusalem Temple – “Therefore, with this US Republican Congresswoman strongly entrenched in her project, evangelical Christians, all along, are watching most interestingly for they consider such occurrences as part of biblical prophecy unfolding. And the more biblical signs unfold, the more evangelical Christians perceive the onrush toward the Second Coming of Christ. The evangelicals keep researching their Scriptures, sharing notes and scanning the daily news headlines. The erection of the next temple would certainly fit in grandly with all of that.”
