Of course Genesis 12:3 still applies.

In my entire life thus far I have never met or heard of a liberal who was premillennial.

D. James Kennedy...Stephen... Colin Chapman... Gary DeMar has for many years exhibited his anti-Zionism

Rather than the "anti-Zionism" label we prefer the "pro-Christian" label.

..as a full supporter of Israel and God's purpose for her, I do want to distance myself from "two covenant" teaching which is an attempt to build a bridge to our Jewish friends using the wrong material...

Prem-Millenial, Dispensational Fundamentalists are indeed the best friends the Jewish People has in the chr*stian world. And it goes back further even than Blackstone. Increase Mather believed in a Jewish National Restoration.

Unfortunately, most historians have made up their minds that any non-Jew who believes in the Jewish G-d is a Nazi anti-Semite, and there are books, articles, and other forms of literature trying to create the impression that such monsters as William Dudley Pelley (mach shemo!) was some sort of "millenial Protestant." This is clearly intended to create the false impression that chr*stian Zionists are the old racist "shirt groups" reborn.

It is also an unhappy fact of history that until very, very recently the conservative movement (not merely the anti-Semitic "far right," but even mainstream conservatism) was very unsympathetic to Jewish national aspirations (which most conservatives assumed was a "liberal" position) and was pro-Arab. Pro-Israel Fundamentalists were unaware of this and unfortunately, the votes they gave conservatives wound up being given to anti-Israel types. This has finally changed, thank G-d.

I do wish that chr*stian Zionists would stop trying to convert Jews to chr*stianity. For one thing, if you really interpret the "old testament" literally, Jews are supposed to keep the Torah of Moses and reject anything else (there's not a word about it being "temporary" or "preparatory" to something else). For another, Fundamentalist proselytization of Jews gives ammunition to the Fundamentalist-haters who are doing everything they can to sabotage the nascent (and long overdue) Jewish/Fundamentalist Protestant alliance. Also, it drives Jews into alliances with other religions that oppose Protestant proselytization (ie, Catholics and Eastern Orthodox), strengthening feelings of commonality between Jews and truly anti-Semitic religions.

But I know that Fundamentalist Protestants will proselytize Jews so long as they sincerely believe that is G-'s will, and all the name-calling in the world won't stop them. If only the Orthodox Jewish community would actively proselytize Fundamentalist Protestants for Noachism they might have a chance to change this. But unfortunately the only arguments we hear against proselytization of Jews (even from Orthdox Jews) are liberal, "tolerant," multicultural ones. How tragic.

May HaShem see fit to send Meshiach Tzidqeinu immediately!
