The Case for Christian Zionism

Описание: The Case for Christian Zionism: The Enduring Covenant with Israel. To understand the case for Christian Zionism, we must first understand how Yeshua or Jesus is the promised Messiah and king of the City of Jerusalem. Matthew 5:35 declares Jerusalem to be “the city of the great King.” Yeshua affirmed its sacred status, identifying it as His royal city—the center of divine governance on earth. Acts 13:23 confirms that God raised a Savior for Israel from David’s seed, according to His promise. This underscores the continuity of Israel’s role in redemption history. The messiahship of Yeshua was not detached from Israel’s covenantal destiny; it was its fulfillment. The fact remains of The Torah’s Eternal Relevance. Yeshua explicitly denied any mission to abolish the Torah: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets… till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” Written in Matthew 5:17–19. This statement affirms that the Torah remains binding and prophetic until the eschaton. “Fulfill” does not mean to cancel but to bring to completion or full purpose. Thus, the Kingdom Yeshua proclaimed builds upon—not replaces—the foundation of Israel’s law, covenants, and prophetic promises. Christian Zionism, therefore, is not political nationalism but theological realism. It recognizes: God’s covenant with Israel remains unbroken. The Messiah of Israel fulfills the Torah and Prophets. Jerusalem is the epicenter of redemption history and future glory. Gentile believers are grafted into Israel’s blessings, not to replace but are called to honor Israel materially and spiritually. The final act of history culminates in the Messiah reigning from Zion over a restored Israel and redeemed humanity. Obadiah 1:17 sums it up:“On Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.” Thus, Christian Zionism stands not as a mere political stance but as a faithful acknowledgment of God’s unchanging promises to His people and His eternal purpose to make Israel the light of the nations.
