What is the mythos of the Christian Nationalists' Zionism? (hexbear.net)

tl;dr - I do NOT like Christian Zionists, give me the resouces to understand and address their bullshit

The Christians followers of this have been talking about the "end times" with very little explanation. I tried looking into their most recent ranting and raving about the red heifer theory, but I was shocked to find that the most popular results were from people who genuinely believe that shit.

I want an explanation for this insane theory. There's something deeply antisemitic about it and I want to get to the bottom of it.

I don't want to criticize this belief by brushing it off as a bunch of loonies, dismissively pointing to the beliefs as not worth my time. I want to know exactly what it is so I can properly address it, at least mentally.

IMO, It's less about antisemitism and more about Christianity's roots as an apocalyptic cult. The Bible says that the end times will be heralded by conflict in Israel, which the Israelis will win after accepting Jesus as their Messiah. Then the Second Coming happens and the world ends, where the souls of all the righteous Christians will be joined to the perfect bodies waiting for them in the afterlife.

I guess I was too brash adding in that antisemitic comment, maybe too much of a generalization. But I did see Jewish people discussing the mythologization of Jews as inherently harmful and a lot of the political realm behind these ideas is influenced by people espousing, knowingly or not, antisemitic conspiracy theories (New World Order, Great Reset, a globalist cabal, global banking, et cetera).

You're definitely on to something both in that isntrael is a convenient place for antisemites to send all the Jews and also that Jewish zionists themselves seem to have this weird thing they do where they try to actively play into antisemitic tropes, like just look at dersh

Could you elaborate on this point a bit because I've been picking up on this a lot recently too. It's like the Zionists are almost doing it on purpose.
