Be Very Wary of Strangers Bearing Gifts...

Beware of Strangers Bearing Impossible Gifts…



Would you follow someone if you knew that he could only achieve absolute perfection through your destruction?



Not me!...



But there is a group who thinks there is nothing wrong with the idea and everything to gain.



The Christian Zionists, a recently created group, led by John Hayden expect you to do exactly that and forget that incidentally they are caught up in the Raptures..





And if you need to be reminded, the Raptures require that all the Jews return to Israel so that their country can be whole again according to Ezekial in order to set the stage for the Second Coming of Jesus which after all is the whole point.



Make no mistake about it. All that stuff that comes before is just a build up to the Final Act and who cares as long as all of the ingredients are in place for the Second Coming….



In this scenario, any Jew who listens to the Christian Zionists present their case has to conclude that it is painfully clear they are only incidental to Zionist plans for Christ’s Second Coming and, consequently, must question whether they are in the view of this Christian group simply sacrificial goats.



John Hayden gets a little fuzzy on some of the details.



He admits that most views of the Raptures is that of Paul’s and involves a lot of blood letting before you get to bed-rock and he simply plays that aspect down saying that Paul’s view does not have the Jews, Arabs, Islamists and all other non-Christians, getting thrown into a pit of brimstone if they don’t convert to Christianity;instead, he seems to tip-toe around some of the darker issues connected with his end of days scenarios .



According to Hayden’s views, in the Gospels, the angels will be sent to earth to explain the resurrection of Jesus before the tribulations and that they will convert and become Christians... Get that "explain..." THat's not my understanding. Anyway Hayden doesn’t even mention the four horseman of the Apocalypse or the horrors associated with nonbiblical interpretations that have become identified with the coming of Armegeddon. These extremist interpretations seem to have been compiled by English zealots of the 18th century or written in subsequent unauthorized biblical versions.



In fact, he reassures us who follow his Christian Zionist arguments that during this period, we will not see the conversion of the Jewish people if they do not want it or the destruction of the Jewish people as some nonbiblical texts have suggested as some prelude to Armegeddon.. In other words, it’s a Disneyfied end of world scenario.



Either way, much impetus for a biblical view of a coming Armegeddon fits right into the purview of our president, a born again Christian who believes deeply in spirituality and metaphysical outcomes as witnessed by his predisposition towards prophecy and End of Days scenarios as opposed to a more balanced view that might suggest a more temporal message of understanding among diverse people.



If approached with such a proposition, I think I would put a Zionist Christian into the same category as the guy who tried to sell me aluminum siding at a special rate. I am sure they will win over lot’s of converts and zealots but they will not include me…



I never buy aluminum siding over the phone.
