Is God a Zionist?

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial belief that God may be a Zionist and explores the implications of this view on Israel and global affairs.

Since October 7, 2023, an element of Christianity has emerged and is growing that holds Israel, and Jews generally, responsible for much of the evil in this world. At the heart of this is a growing belief that Zionism is something to be opposed, if not outright evil. But what if God is a Zionist (see, for example, psalm 132:13–14)? Christopher Kuehl ( PresentWitness.org ), author of the new book Is God a Zionist? joins us to discuss the complex topics surrounding Israel, Zionism, biblical prophecy, and the influence of various political and spiritual forces. We explore the historical, theological, and geopolitical aspects of Israel’s role in God’s plan and current global affairs—and how modern politics and conspiracy theories influence perceptions of Israel.
