Part of verses in that argument.
This means:
∙ The modern state of Israel (established in 1948) is a geopolitical entity, not the biblical Israel of Scripture. While it includes Jewish people, its government is secular, its policies often ungodly, and most citizens reject Jesus as Messiah (John 5:43).
The Khazar Theory: A Historical Wildcard
Mainstream narratives claim modern Jews descend directly from ancient Israelites. But compelling evidence suggests many Ashkenazi Jews actually originated from the Khazar Empire—a Turkic kingdom that converted to Judaism en masse between the 7th-10th centuries.
Does “Bless Israel” Mean Backing Netanyahu’s Government?
The promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3—”I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you“—was never intended as a blank check for unconditional support of any political entity or national government. Its fulfillment is found in Christ, the ultimate heir of Abraham’s covenant (Galatians 3:16), and extends to all who belong to Him by faith, whether Jew or Gentile. To apply this promise mechanically to the modern state of Israel ignores Scripture’s clear teaching that God’s blessings flow through Jesus, not national identity.
Behind the official narrative of Israel’s founding in 1948 lies a darker, seldom-discussed truth: the pivotal role of the Rothschild dynasty. For over a century, this powerful banking family funneled vast fortunes into land purchases, political lobbying, and covert diplomacy to reshape Palestine into a Jewish state. Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the so-called “father of modern Israel,” bankrolled early Zionist settlements in the late 1800s, while later generations leveraged their financial empire to pressure world leaders into recognizing Israel’s sovereignty.
The 1917 Balfour Declaration—Britain’s fateful pledge to establish a Jewish homeland—was allegedly secured through Rothschild influence, with Lord Walter Rothschild personally receiving the historic letter. When the UN voted to partition Palestine in 1947, Rothschild-connected financiers and politicians ensured the outcome favored Zionist ambitions. It’s quite possible that Israel’s birth was never about biblical prophecy, but about creating a geopolitical stronghold for elite interests—a Rothschild-controlled nation at the heart of the Middle East, serving as both a financial hub and a wedge to destabilize the region. It wouldn’t be the first time the Rothschild family had done something like this. Just search for the “1814-1815 Congress of Vienna” and you’ll see another instance of the Rotschild dynasty doing something similar.
∙ Jesus Himself warned that physical descent from Abraham means nothing without repentance (Matthew 3:9). The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 marked God’s judgment on unbelieving Israel (Luke 19:41-44), while the gospel went out to all nations.
Regardless of Rothschild’s involvement, the modern nation of Israel, established in 1948, is a secular political state, not the biblical kingdom of God. Its government operates apart from divine law, and the majority of its citizens reject Jesus as Messiah (John 5:43). If blessing ethnic Jews alone guaranteed divine favor, then historical figures like Hitler—who employed Jewish scientists—would qualify for God’s blessing, an obviously absurd conclusion. The New Testament redefines true Israel as those who follow Christ (Galatians 3:29), whether Jewish or Gentile, dismantling any notion that biological descent secures covenant standing (Romans 2:28-29).
Jesus Himself warned that physical descent from Abraham means nothing without faith (Matthew 3:9; John 8:39). The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 marked the end of national Israel’s unique role in redemptive history, and the gospel was then sent to all nations. Peter declares that the Church—composed of believers from every tribe and tongue—is now God’s holy nation (1 Peter 2:9-10). This means Christians should prioritize supporting the Gospel over political alliances, recognizing that God’s promises are fulfilled in Christ’s Kingdom, not in earthly states. True biblical blessing comes not from endorsing governments but from faithfulness to Jesus and His global Church.
For Christians today, this understanding should shape how we view current events in the Middle East. The modern state of Israel holds historical and political significance, but it is not the “Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16). That title belongs solely to those—from every nation—who are redeemed by Christ.
