Genesis 12:1-3 – Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
On a recent episode of TruNews with host and founder Rick Wiles, The topic of discussion was the scathing rebuke of “Christian Zionism”, which according to Rick Wiles is the support of the Nation of Israel. In the episode, he issues a challenge to those who prefer the reclaiming of the land of Israel over the Cross of Christ. Wiles goes on to say “As churches in Jerusalem are being forced out of places of worship by the Israeli government, where is the outcry of the American church to the persecution of Christians? Watch the video below for the entire segment. Do you agree with Rick Wiles or Disagree?
Wiles theology is so Anti-Jewish, Replacement Theology and not Biblical. Does he even know that Yeshua HaMashiac ( Jesus the Christ), was and is Jewish?

I have listened to Wiles for 20 years. He is not anti-jewish. He is anti-Israel. He has bitten a poisonous fruit of conspiracy theories that Israel was born from the masons and communism and the UN and not a move of God. In some ways he is Christian version of the extremist lubavitchers who believe Israel has no legitimacy as a state until Messiah comes. For someone who likes to quote the scriptures is actually deficient in his understanding of the promises of God towards the people and the land of the hebrews. He denies the literal understanding of Romans 9-11. His dogmatism is severe on many fronts. While i used to overlook his anti-Israeli positions at time, i can do so no longer. He is an enemy of Israel as a nation and an enemy for the redeeming work God is doing there in bringing many sons to faith in Yeshua. And if he is not careful, he will responsible for inflaming persecution against Christians and Jews in America who do support Israel.
The churches in Israel are catholic and are fingers on the same hand with islam
Some true believers belong to these denominations! This false doctrine that started in the 80s has decievied many.
I agree with Rick Wiles. We need more evangelical preaching for salvation. People need Jesus more today than ever. Netanyau said in 2014 that he wants to make the Talmud belief the official religion of Israel. Which their belief is that if you are of that belief, then you are to hate non Jews. Israel’s capitol is the most homosexual city there.
I do not hate Israel I love God first. Let’s get back to evangelical preaching.
Spot on, K!
Mr Wiles has no idea how to rightly divide the Word of God.
Rick is anti-Semitic, anti King James Bible, anti-rapture, anti- backfield, ..well maybe a replacement theology apologist. He spews hate so much yet tries to say he believes in proclaiming Jesus. So crazy. But he does NOT see how he complains about these things constantly..non stop. I used to like the cutting edge world news reports..but couldn’t handle his hateful rants any longer.
Oops…I meant “anti-Scofield”
I am anti-rapture Christ wants people to stand, First of all there is no Rapture of the Church or anything else. Satan will come to this earth before Jesus the Christ returns. Satan comes to this earth at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet, and the 6th vial. Jesus returns at the 7th seal, 7th trumpet, and 7th vial, NOW CAN YOU COUNT?!?! Satan will come to this earth pretending to be Jesus Christ, and the whole world shall be deceived, save God’s Elect. Christ will not return until after the serpent comes to this earth posing as Christ. There is nothing written in the Bible to prove that Christ will make a “secret” visit to the earth to rapture away the church prior to the tribulation as so many believe. It simply is not Biblical.
I also want you to pay attention to what the word Rapture actually means, “Rapture” is derived from Middle French rapture, via the Medieval Latin raptura (“seizure, rape, kidnapping”), which derives from the Latin raptus (“a carrying off”), now does that sound like a good thing?
The Rapture… where did it come from?
In 1830AD, there was a young woman named Margaret McDonald that lived in Scotland. She was very ill, and while she was on her potential death-bed she had dreams or visions that she described to some members of the clergy. She was sick and in a deluded state of mind, yet the clergy took this tormented dream of a young woman and ran with it. She came up with the Rapture Doctrine and the clergy found scripture that they could misinterpret to show it to be the “truth”. Simple as that. Now, there are some detractors that say that this is simply untrue. But, that matters not because we are going to delve into scripture in this study and prove that the rapture doctrine, is really just a load of, well, crapture. It is pure deception, and who is the author of deception? Satan!
So read and study your Bible know when this false doctrine was being place into the denominations so was the Scofield Reference Bible, which completely omits Ezekiel chapter 13 that our Father says exactly what He thinks of the “fly away” doctrine.
Acts 7:51:
51) Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
52) Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53) Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54) When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55) But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56) And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57) Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58) And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
Notice, Christ was standing:
“The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people” (Isaiah 3:13).
Also consider James 5:8-9:
8) Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9) Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Why was Israel judged at this point? Consider:
Luke 24:20: “And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.”
Acts 7:52: “Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers.”
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16:
14) For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15) Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16) Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Christ was baptized at the beginning of the 70th week found in Daniel 9:24. “In the midst of the week” or 3 1/2 years later, He was crucified bringing the ceremonial portion of the law (“the sacrifice and the oblation, Dan. 9:27) to an end.
Three and a half years later, in AD 34, Stephen was stoned by the highest governing authority of the Jewish nation. Daniel’s 70 week prophetic period (490 years) was now at an end. The Jewish nation chose “to finish the transgression” (or rebellion, see Strong’s) mentioned in Daniel 9:24 by crucifying the Son of God.
Now, read through the book of Acts and note every time the Church is persecuted. Who are the persecutors? That’s right—the Jews. Paul’s words, found in Galatians 3:28-29, now make sense:
28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29) And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Also see: Romans 9:6; 10:12; Galatians 3:7; 5:6.
Please, reach these verses and think this through.
Maranatha!
The good news in it’s biblical composition and character is Jewish. The God of Creation is the God of Israel and in His passionate love, and desire for intimate fellowship with each and every member of His creation and His plan to restore all of creation to it’s original design and purpose has made a way for all people to receive forgivness of sin, reconciliation, and eternal life. The God of Creation became the God of one man, Abraham. From Abraham He created the nation of Israel, from Israel He made known His way and plan for salvation, from Israel he brought forth a savior, the Messiah, the prophesied KIng of the Jews, who gave Himself up to be put to death by the power elites of this world that He might atone for the sins of all mankind and set free all who put their trust in Him. By His atoning death He took our punishment and paid our debt and on the third day after his death, He was resurrected to life with and eternal body and He is today seated at the right hand of the father awaiting the time when He will return to this earth to judge the world in righteousness, to restore the kingdom of David to His people Israel and to rule and reign over all the earth from His throne in Jerusalem.
Rick is probably partly right. We need very much to keep both sides in view. Yeshua said to go into the world and make disciples. I.E go into the world and tell the Gentiles about Israel’s God, the God of creation, about what it is He requires, what the penalty is for not doing it , and His provision for escaping that penalty through God’s Son, the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua of Natzeret, the Way, the Truth, and the life, Jhn 14:6
Yeshua prayed for us to have unity and love one another. Lets agree on the essentials and have diversity in non-essentials. Shalom in Messiah Yeshua JoCephas
I listened to a part of this broadcast but switched off after Rick started on his anti-semitic rant. I asked the Lord about it and He gave me Ezekiel 31. He has raised Rick up as a mighty tree envied by all the trees in Gods garden if he does not repent God will remove him. Rick has always maintained he is very quick to repent. I trust you will do so immediately so you can continue with the great work God has for you Rick.
Zionist puppet approve both sides of the theological arguments posts.
Israel is a people, not a land. The promise of the land was fulfilled when Joshua possessed the promised land. We are under a new covenant. The nation of Israel includes everyone that has excepted Jesus as their Lord and saviour, Christians and Messianic Jews.I do not believe that it refers to a certain territory.
It’s not about being anti-Semitic, it’s about opposing that which God also opposes, namely, in this case, Zionism. For the truth of the matter, please read the book: The Israel Deception by Kenneth Schortgen. Please read this with discernment and with Holy Spirit guidance. The enemy likes nothing better than to label the truth as anti-Semitism to keep us from seeing it for what it really is. Amen?
