"Israel needs to exist, in order for Christian theology to be validated, justified and fulfilled. Without the existence of Israel, Christian end times theology folds like a house of cards, because Christian theology claims there is an overall divine plan that includes:

The nation-state of Israel

The rebuilding of the temple

The subjugation of the heathen

The destruction of the armies of the heathen in a final epic battle

Appearance of the Messiah"

LOL, I guess you were not educated in a traditional Catholic country, where the Jews are the betrayers and no one ever EVER read the Old Testament. The first time I ever was exposed to it, I was 17.

Most of the world has about zero opinion about what the Scofield Bible is, here it's just a heretical reading of the Bible, like that of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and other Protestant heresies.

Christian Zionists did not exist prior to about the 1850’s. It is a series of false doctrines that have diluted both the old and new testaments. A bit of a problem is God is not the author of Talmud, Kabala, Mishnah, Targums, or protocols of Zion. Those that allow themselves to be influenced by these are in deep trouble.

When Christ said it was a narrow path that leads to salvation, he was not kidding. To love God and your neighbor as yourself is aided by the spirit of God for those who strive to enter that relationship. End times eschatology is a distraction designed to confuse.

The main theme of the Bible is the covenant God made with Abram in Genesis 12,15 was fulfilled by Christ according to Paul in Galatians 3:16. The 8th chapter of Hebrews declares a new covenant with the old fading away. So talk about a third temple, a red heifer, a future king David, a pre tribulation rapture, is just a bunch of gas. Israel is a Godless piece of real estate on the other side of the world.
