There is BIBLICAL Zionism, where many Scriptures teach of Jerusalem being GOD's City, and a focus of His attention.
"the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. " (Isaiah 14:32)
In Gematria, Jerusalem is divided as YH's Shout or Proclamation of Peace: Yah Ruah Shalom.
Biblical Zionism focuses on a TRUST INTO THE LORD Who proclaims it as the place of His Throne to come, and His Habitation to come.
In the second part of this posting, I will list the Bible Passages of Zion in the King James Version, so the reader can readily see what the Bible says Zionism is, in the Bible's own words.
In many ways, Biblical Zionism is a celebration of FAITH by a whole hearted belief into GOD's words as if they have already come to pass in the future and we are on a journey to meet and see and live it.
"Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously." (Isaiah 24:3)
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let
us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for
out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem."
(Isaiah 2:3)
THAT is Biblical Zionism, a focus on GOD and Israel's right to
the Land Promised them by GOD. Biblical Zionism focuses on Zion as being a place that GOD has chosen for His Name and Himself to be, where GOD is the focus, not man.
There is a separate and erroneous Talmudic
Zionism, where FROM THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD you have a whole different set of values, such as the
Jewish Supremacy, in Jewish Nasi or Princes (the 1900 years older Jewish version of Nazism, as it were), of a hatred of Christians, of certain ancient rabbis wanting to rule
the world, and so forth. Too many Biblically Illiterate "holiday only" Christians are equating all Zionism as Talmudic or Masonic Occult level Zionism, and this really needs to stop. Regardless if they write for Alex Jones, Mike Adams, or independently like Hal Turner, or what have you, that sort of disinformation and misinformation is destructive and counter-productive. Clearly, they are so prejudicial that reason and evidence will not persuade them, so the best that can be done is to lay out the Scriptures and say "look and see". I doubt that they can lay out the Babylonian Talmud citation pages as well as quotes in contexts, but that would be another separate post should I choose to do what detail they cannot or will not ever do for the reader.
Talmudic Zionism projects the principles of Mamon, focusing on material wealth and material possessions, a falling away of the command of being a Light to the Nations and taking the good news to them, to one of the “Mamlakutu” of Babel in Genesis 10:10. Man becomes his own potter of his own god, as if taking GOD's place. The imagination of value placed on money, on gold and silver, all of it being IMAGINATION with societal agreement, is part of that Mamon System. Compare what Christ told the rich young ruler.
The idea of what wealth is, in lands or possessions,
or the credit system to purchase those possessions and land, is called “Mamon”. Gold is just a metal, like copper, like iron. Diamonds are just rocks, just like quartz. The value placed on these things are done so be alterations of the mind and mutually agreed to acceptance, even if they have NO MASS POPULATION COMMON BENEFICIAL TO LIFE USE. It is jewelry and monetary valuing rather than diamonds for oil rig drill bits and gold for electronics as conductor components.
The alternate reality man has built, his “society, and civilization”, is
founded on a common illusion. Failure to abide by that system of Babel --
known as Babylon, an ever-evolving religious order on the worship of Mamon, --
means persecution - privation - and death. In our day, this is effectually what is the mamlakutu
of the vanity that GOD hates...that riches equal righteousness. In effect, it a a material world religion of unbelief in GOD and belief into a created myth of ideas that deny GOD for an alternate and untrue form of reality, much like a delusion upon someone on psychedelic drugs.
It is the same as the idolatry that man experienced when he overlaid gold or silver onto carved wooden stocks, and called them his "gods" because the worship was upon the imagination of the value of the metal and the pretended deified representation of his myths as if now a reality he could worship. (cf. Isaiah 44:9-17)
The overlaying of these stocks of wood with precious metals is tied to the
first man-made kingdom in the Bible, the “Mamlakutu” of Babel in
Genesis 10:10. Man becomes his own potter of his own god, as if taking
GOD's place, when GOD formed man like a potter forms clay (cf. the Hebrew) in
Genesis 2:7.
“Mamlakutu” is closely identified and associated with “Melek” (“king”),
after the form of a religious identity: a king who is both king and pontifex
maximus (“high priest”).
And yet, this "melek" / "king" is also the new alleged
"malak" / angel - messenger and protector of the man as well.
Therefore, deification lies not upon the stock of wood, its shape, but upon the imaginative “value” of the gold, or silver, that covers the
image. The greater the value placed onto the metal, the greater the trust
in the “riches or wealth” of the kingdom based on wealth: the “Mamlakutu” (Mem
- Mem - Lamed - Kaf - Tav - Vav).
Man then, moves from trusting a living GOD, to trusting a vanity that he has
made up, as he attempts to give life to something that cannot live but in the
realm of ideas or altered perceptions.The compulksion to "make money" or possess Mamon, is integral to Talmudic Zionism, which believes a justification of world conquest through the monetary system if it were possible.
With Talmudic Zionism, Yeshivas have lost their central command of the Torah: "You shall walk the Divine Path".
And what that Divine Path is, is what? "To obey My Voice -- [not that of your rabbis, or commentators-- but My Voice, GOD speaking in the First Person] -- and live." (Cf.: Deut.30:8-10; 5:22ff.; Exodus 19:19; 23:21-22;15:26; John 1:1, 10-14).
With Talmudic Zionism, we have those like Simon ben Shetah tell us, that if any king, including GOD HIMSELF (who says He is Israel's KING in Scripture), seeks to reign over the Sanhedrin, then he "is a robber". THIS, is Talmudic Zionism...it is NOT Biblical Zionism.
There is a fully justified BIBLICAL Zionism to support Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel, that they have the right to the land promised them and possessed under Joshua, and that they have the full exclusive rights to the Temple Mount in principle (but the Last Days Prophecy ALLOWS a New Temple with a Ezekiel 42:20 wall of separation).
Perhaps the best way to reveal Biblical Zionism is to have the readers that want to learn and have the ability to think and process information to read those Bible Passages, and to study for themselves.
