Thank-you for sharing.
This mans eyes were open to the truth about swearing allegiance to the modern State of Israel.
Pastor Denies Israel's Biblical Identity - Angers Flock

"The entire faith system of many professing Christians depends on their allegiance to the modern State of Israel. These Christian Zionists might recite a pledge of allegiance to the United States of America, but their true allegiance is to the State of Israel."
Chuck Baldwin, left, writes:
"With all of the controversial positions I have taken over my forty-plus years in the ministry, I have NEVER received the hate-filled opposition I am receiving right now because of my position that the modern State of Israel is NOT the Israel of the Bible or the "Israel of God." (Galatians 6:16) That position is NOT based on racism or prejudice or anything of the kind. It is based strictly on my study and understanding of the Holy Scriptures."
A Reader writes:
"Chuck Baldwin is just beginning to experience the "spirit of murder" that lurks behind and fuels Christian Zionism! D.T. aligned himself with these people during his entire campaign. Woe to him if he ever betrays them. I have lived around Zionist and Evangelical Christians much of my life....and have been deserted and hated by many, including close friends. If you do not ascribe to every jot and tittle of their mind control program, you are not welcome in their Club. Pointing out contradictions and flaws in their beliefs is a no-no. End time prophecy, the rapture and the second coming all depend upon the State of Israel. If the lie is uncovered, Evangelical and Zionist Christianity will collapse."
Is Netanyahu Finished?
by Chuck Baldwin
(Abridged by henrymakow.com)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the most corrupt political leaders on the planet. He is also one of the most heavily financed political leaders on the planet.
In spite of his billionaire friends and supporters, however, he is facing almost certain political destruction. His many crimes are being intensely investigated by Israeli authorities. The only reason he hasn't been removed from office already is due to the immense political and financial support he has from bankers, casino owners, land developers, etc., from other countries--especially in the United States.
But it is doubtful that Bibi will be able to tread water much longer. It appears that his political demise is inevitable. And you haven't heard a word about it from the controlled mainstream media in the U.S., have you? Of course not. The men who own the mainstream media are among Bibi's largest contributors.
Neither have you heard anything about it from the so-called conservative publications, periodicals and websites. There is one common denominator that links the mainstream media with the so-called conservative media: infatuation with the modern State of Israel.
Without a doubt, Netanyahu's plummet in popularity at home is one of the reasons (maybe the MAJOR reason) why he is pressuring Donald Trump to ratchet up a war against Iran and why he is mobilizing accelerated (illegal) Israeli settlements on private land owned by Palestinian people. War and military conflict has always been a favored tactic of embattled politicians to increase their popularity and deflect negativity. Neither does it hurt that Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and presidential adviser, is a MAJOR financial backer of the (illegal) land settlements.
One indicator that Netanyahu will be removed from office soon is longtime Bibi supporter, billionaire Sheldon Adelson, is starting to back away from the embattled Israeli Prime Minister. That's NOT a good sign for Bibi at all.
The removal of Netanyahu from office would be a very good thing for the entire world. The problem is the State of Israel is controlled by about 20 mega-rich Zionist families. To think that these power-brokers would replace Bibi with a truly honest man is as likely as the sun rising in the west tomorrow morning.

BACKLASH
As I often do, I tested this column by writing a brief post on this subject on my Facebook page. I wasn't surprised when Christians came out of the woodwork in a vitriolic attack against me for what I said about Bibi. Many accused me of heresy and vowed to never read my Facebook page again.
Since my lengthy personal research and study into the Biblical teaching on Israel, I have come to learn this: the entire faith system of many professing Christians depends on their allegiance to the modern State of Israel. These Christian Zionists might recite a pledge of allegiance to the United States of America, but their true allegiance is to the State of Israel.
It is no hyperbole to say that for many professing Christians, the modern State of Israel is every bit as important as Jesus Christ Himself and their own personal salvation. In fact, many of these folks equate their allegiance to the State of Israel with their own personal salvation. And they are quick to condemn anyone to hell who does not share their allegiance to the State of Israel. I find this extremely perplexing. I truly wonder if this cultish infatuation with the modern faux Israel might be the great "falling away" and devilish deception of the last days. But I digress.
Faithful readers of this column and followers of my ministry know that for most of my adult life I subscribed to dispensational modern-Israel-is-the-fulfillment-of-Bible-prophecy theology. And while I would debate with people holding alternative opinions (as I hold now), I never felt that their differences of opinion on this subject somehow invalidated their Christian faith.
So, why is it that so many Christians are so dependent upon a commitment to the modern State of Israel to the point that it is part and parcel to the very core of their Christian faith? For some nineteen centuries there was no modern State of Israel, and believers were quite cemented and steadfast in the Christian faith. In fact, most Bible scholars who wrote previous to 1948 had an entirely different perspective on the subject. Try reading some of them, and see for yourself.
Today, however, anyone who challenges the scriptural validity of the modern State of Israel is cast off by many professing Christians in the meanest and most vitriolic terms. Why does the modern State of Israel hold such a strong grip on people's faith? It's as if their faith itself depends on the modern State of Israel, not Christ.
Christians seem oblivious to the fact that Netanyahu is not only a globalist, crook, and murderer, he is also a Talmudist. Not long ago, he promised that Talmudism would be official Israeli law. See the report: Netanyahu Promises Talmud Will Be Israeli Law
If you think the Koran is bad, try reading the Talmud. As a point of reference, the Pharisees that hated Jesus were devout disciples of the Mishnah, the oral traditions which later formed the Talmud. In other words, the Pharisees were Talmudists. And, as you probably know, Jesus strongly condemned them for their devotion to the Mishnah.
Consider, too: Tel Aviv is the international capital of homosexuality. That is no exaggeration. Also, the government of Israel pays for women to receive an abortion at any stage of the baby's development. Plus, as seen in Cook's article linked above, Israel is known globally as being a safe haven for all kinds of money laundering for international criminal gangs, especially from Russia. "A leaked U.S. embassy cable in 2009 warned that Israel was in danger of becoming a 'promised land' for organised crime.
"The Haaretz newspaper observed recently that this underground economy [from the money laundering by international criminal gangs] had become so big - with an annual turnover reaching as much $39 billion - Israel could find itself on the same list as Iran as 'one of the leading state financiers of global terrorism.'"
Furthermore, for all intents and purposes, many (if not most) Talmudists are practicing atheists. The Lord Jesus Christ (true Israel's Messiah) is scorned and hated as much in the modern State of Israel today as He was during the days when the Pharisees crucified Him. If you think there is religious liberty for Hebrew Christians in Israel today, you couldn't be more wrong.
The last time I was in Israel, I spoke at two Baptist churches. One was in Jerusalem, and the other was in Bethlehem. Take a guess at the composition of the Christians in those churches. They were 99% Palestinian.
In addition, Zionist bankers, casino owners, land developers, media magnates, entertainers, movie producers, etc., are among Christianity's biggest enemies. That is NOT a racist statement at all. That is a cold, hard fact.
You must understand that Zionism has nothing to do with race; it is a political philosophy. At its core, Zionism is communistic and atheistic. Accordingly, it is little wonder that Zionists are found among the liberal/progressive political parties in virtually every Western country. Zionists are found among all races and creeds. This is NOT a racial issue at all.
Folks, consider: I had believed, taught, and preached dispensational, Israel-First theology for over thirty years--why would I take an opposite view NOW, after all these years? Why would I risk my ministry, my livelihood, and my family's future? And with the hateful reaction to my position, that's exactly what I've done.
Continued attacks against me for my position on websites, radio talk shows, periodicals, and newspapers make columns such as this one obligatory. Like my positions or not, I have always tried to be true to my conscience and my beliefs. And if I go to the poor house over this issue, so be it. I will be faithful to the truth as I understand it, regardless.
