WHY I AM A ZIONIST By David A. Rice, D.Div A Zionist is, very simply, a person who believes that the Jews are a people, that Israel is the biblical homeland of the Jews and that they have a right to the land and the Nation that are Israel. There are good Zionists, evil Zionists, Jewish Zionists, Christian Zionists, atheist Zionists, communist Zionists, big banker Zionists, rich Zionists and poor Zionists, young Zionists, old Zionists, beautiful Zionists and ugly Zionists. Those who would use Zionist as a bad word have the habit of picking out the ten most evil Zionists they can find and lumping all Zionists in a single group… It is ignorant, racist, antisemitic and evil to do so but they relish in their foolishness. For almost two thousand years, in every Jewish community around the world, the family Patriarch would stand at the Passover Seder and say “Next year in Jerusalem”. They were Zionists Christians who believe the Bible is the Word of God, and there are many in name only Christians who do not, are Zionists. I am a Zionist because I have read and studied the Bible. The God of the Bible is a Zionist… I just want to be like my God. To fight Zionists is to fight Almighty God. To side with Hamas and the Muslims against Israel is to join ranks with Lucifer himself. To stand against Israel is to invite the curse of an angry God into one’s life. For a Nation to stand against Israel is suicide on a national level. Please don’t argue with me until you have read to the bottom of this post. If you do not believe that God Almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is a Zionist, please take the time to read His Words and consider His opinion… Israels history perfectly follows Gods plan as indicated in Deuteronomy 30:2-4, “And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: including the dispersion due to disobedience and regathering into the land because of the unchanging nature of the covenant.” Who has ever seen or heard of anything as strange as this? Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by the time Jerusalems birth pains begin, the baby will be born; the nation will come forth. Isaiah 66:8 He will raise a flag among the nations for Israel to rally around. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth. Isaiah 11:12 The time is coming when my people will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with her fruit! Isaiah 27:6 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and west and from north and south. I will bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth. All who claim me as their God will come, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them. Isaiah 43:5-7 But the time is coming, says the Lord, when people who are taking an oath will no longer say, As surely as the Lord lives, who rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt. Instead, they will say, As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the people of Israel back to their own land from the land of the north and from all the countries to which he had exiled them. For I will bring them back to this land that I gave their ancestors. Jeremiah 16:14-15 For the time is coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people of Israel and Judah. I will bring them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will possess it and live here again. I, the Lord, have spoken! Jeremiah 30:3 I will surely bring my people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and safety. Jeremiah 32:37 Therefore, give the exiles this message from the Sovereign Lord: Although I have scattered you in the countries of the world, I will be a sanctuary to you during your time in exile. I, the Sovereign Lord, will gather you back from the nations where you were scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel once again. Ezekiel 11:16-17 When I bring you home from exile, you will be as pleasing to me as an offering of perfumed incense. And I will display my holiness in you as all the nations watch. Then when I have brought you home to the land I promised your ancestors, you will know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 20:41-42 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Israel will again live in their own land, the land I gave my servant Jacob. For I will gather them from the distant lands where I have scattered them. I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people. They will live safely in Israel and build their homes and plant their vineyards. And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they will know that I am the Lord their God. Ezekiel 28:25-26 I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock. I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day. I will bring them back home to their own land of Israel from among the peoples and nations. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel and by the rivers in all the places where people live. Yes, I will give them good pastureland on the high hills of Israel. There they will lie down in pleasant places and feed in lush mountain pastures. Ezekiel 34:12-14 And give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. I will unify them into one nation in the land. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations. Ezekiel 37:21-22 So now the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people; I will have mercy on Israel, for I am jealous for my holy reputation! They will accept responsibility for their past shame and treachery against me after they come home to live in peace and safety in their own land. And then no one will bother them or make them afraid. When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, my holiness will be displayed to the nations. Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God - responsible for sending them away to exile and responsible for bringing them home. I will leave none of my people behind. And I will never again turn my back on them, for I will pour out my Spirit upon them, says the Sovereign Lord. Ezekiel 39:25-29 In that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David. It is now like a house in ruins, but I will rebuild its walls and restore its former glory. And Israel will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations I have called to be mine. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do these things. The time will come, says the Lord, when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine! I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. I will firmly plant them there in the land I have given them, says the Lord your God. Then they will never be uprooted again. Amos 9:11-15 This is what the Lord of Heavens Armies says: Once again old men and women will walk Jerusalems streets with their canes and will sit together in the city squares. And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls at play. This is what the Lord of Heavens Armies says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of Gods people. But is it impossible for me? says the Lord of Heavens Armies. This is what the Lord of Heavens Armies says: You can be sure that I will rescue my people from the east and from the west. I will bring them home again to live safely in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be faithful and just toward them as their God. Zechariah 8:4-8 If you hate Zionists and Israel, you hate the God of Israel… not a smart choice.
