I want you to watch something. This is Jack Hibbs, a prominent Christian Zionist pastor. Listen to what he says.
"That's how you create a cult using the Bible. You pull one verse out of context and you create a cult."
He's right. And he just described his own movement because that is exactly what happened. One verse, Genesis 12:3, pulled out of context, reinterpreted by a convicted forger in 1909, and used to build a coalition that has sent hundreds of billions of American dollars to Israel and helped drag us into a war with Iran. And it's not a conspiracy, okay? There are Foreign Agents Registration Act documents, official US government filings proving that Israel is actively funding operations right now to keep that belief alive in your church during your worship service on your phone.
This is the story they don't want you to find. The truth about the propaganda hiding it and the one question at the center of it that nobody in this movement will answer.
So, the story most American evangelicals tell goes like this: The Jews are back in the land God promised them. Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. Israel's rebirth in 1948 is proof the Bible is true and Jesus is coming back soon. It's clean and simple, but according to most theologians, it's also wrong.
Watch this clip from the Lake Point Church podcast, a Texas mega church debating whether the creation of the modern state of Israel is biblically prophetic. And they even have their own resident theology expert, Paul, on the panel. Now, first watch what happens the moment he begins to offer a dissenting view.
"So the question is, is that thing that happened in 1948, the founding of Israel, prophetically significant? Basically, does the Bible, did the Bible predict it? You may disagree with me. Paul disagrees with..."
"It's hard for me not to go, 'Yes.' I don't know, dude. It's hard."
"1900 years of Israel not existing just like that in the 1900s. It's a nation."
"What's wrong with you, Nick Fuentes?"
"Wow."
"I'm going to start calling you Nick."
"No, please don't."
They usually call him Chat G, Paul T, because of his Bible knowledge. But the second he disagrees, the host compares him to Nick Fuentes, one of the most extreme anti-Israel commentators online. Deplatformed, debanked. But Paul pushes back anyway, specifically about the interpretation of Isaiah 66, saying that Israel is the nation that was created in a day in 1948.
"It's a very new, novel interpretation that it was about the refounding of the Jewish state. But he keeps going, and what he says next is the most dangerous thing in the entire episode."
"A lot of street-level evangelical Christians make think that this is, 'Oh, this is just the Christian view.'"
"Yeah."
"When actually it's a very new and novel. When that doesn't, to your point, that doesn't mean it's automatically wrong. But it does mean that you shouldn't just swallow it. You have to ask, why did the same people read these same verses and come to very different conclusions?"
So, I went looking for the answer to his question myself. And what I found was evidence the Christian Zionist network doesn't want you to see.
So why do people read the same Bible verses and come to very different conclusions about Israel? Well, to start, not everyone is reading the same Bible. Most American Christians aren't just reading different translations of scripture. You know, ESV, KJV. They're reading scripture with someone else's commentary or opinions printed right next to it. And that commentary has been shaping what they believe about Israel, end times, and their political obligations for over a hundred years.
But here's what most don't realize, okay? This interpretation is new. It was invented in the 1830s by a 19th-century Irish lawyer named John Nelson Darby, a man who quit the bar to split the church and rewrite the entire end-times timeline. He is known as the father of dispensationalism because he invented something brand new. An idea that had never existed in Christianity before: the pre-tribulation rapture. Some call it the secret rapture. It's the belief that Christians would be taken to heaven before the end of the world chaos that's described in tribulation. And crucially, he taught that Jews would return to Palestine and play a central role in the end times, including a rebuilt temple.
Now, again, this was a brand new idea. The early church never taught it. Darby invented it in the 1830s, and powerful British politicians loved it because it mapped perfectly onto their own imperial ambitions in the Middle East. If Christian theology could be redirected to support a Jewish return to Palestine, it gave Britain religious cover for expanding its empire into the region.
Darby also invented something theologians call the two-track system. He claimed that Jesus offered two entirely separate paths to salvation. Track one, the church: Christians who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And track two, ethnic Israel with its own covenants, promises, and future that the church does not replace.
Now, this was a radical departure from everything Christianity had taught for 18 centuries. Many theologians still consider it heresy. But despite that, it was well-funded, quietly spread, and eventually embedded inside existing denominations.
So they had the theology, right? But now they needed a way to spread it far and wide. Enter Cyrus Scofield, a disgraced American lawyer, a convicted forger, and the man who took Darby's dispensational ideas and printed them directly into the footnotes of a Bible, right next to scripture itself, so that generations of readers would absorb his commentary as if it carried the same authority as the word of God.
The Scofield Reference Bible was published by Oxford University Press in 1909 and updated in 1917. That version was distributed aggressively. It became the standard reference text in seminaries and churches across America, especially within the Southern Baptist Convention.
Now, here's where it gets specific. You know, Genesis 12:3, the verse Ted Cruz famously quoted to Tucker. Growing up in Sunday school, I was taught from the Bible, "Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed."
"That's God speaking to Abraham thousands of years ago."
Now, Scofield's commentary note on that verse read, "It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew, well with those who have protected him. The future will still more remarkably prove this principle." A promise made to Abraham, now reapplied to how modern nations should treat Jewish people and, by extension, a modern Israeli state that wouldn't exist for another 31 years.
But it didn't stop there. Okay? After Scofield died, Oxford kept revising the notes. And by 1984, the New Scofield Study Bible added an entirely new line: "For a nation to commit the sin of anti-semitism brings inevitable judgment." Do you see the evolution? Scofield says nations fare ill when they persecute Jews. Then, 36 years after the creation of Israel, Oxford rewrites it as divine judgment for anti-semitism. Which should be noted that the ADL's current definition of anti-semitism includes, quote, "language or rhetoric or actions that demonize, delegitimize, or apply a double standard to the Jewish state, Zionism, and Zionists." The interpretation gets stronger, more absolute, more political with every revision.
But then modern Christian Zionist leaders took it the rest of the way. Okay. John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel, has said:
"Anti-semitism brings the wrath of God on men and nations who permit it. God has made a very clear promise to all anti-semites. I will curse those who curse the people of Israel."
"Quote, 'The man or nation that lifts a voice or hand against Israel invites the wrath of God.'"
So, Scofield started with a historical observation. Oxford turned it into a warning. And then Hagee turned it into a blatant threat.
And there's a financial thread worth noting here. Scofield had close ties to a Wall Street lawyer named Samuel Untermyer, a committed Zionist. But Untermyer wasn't just any lawyer. No, he was the first American attorney to earn a $1 million fee. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Federal Reserve system. And when Hitler rose to power, Untermyer personally launched and bankrolled the international boycott of German goods. He's been called the super lawyer who took on Hitler. So, he was kind of a big deal. And some historians believe Untermyer helped fund and promote Scofield's career, including the connections that led to Oxford University Press.
Now, that connection is debated. But what isn't debated is this: Someone funded Cyrus Scofield's very comfortable lifestyle while he rewrote the theological foundation of American evangelical Christianity. And that someone moved in the highest circles of American finance and political power.
And speaking of finance and political power, around the same time Scofield's Reference Bible was gaining traction, something else was happening on the other side of the world. The Rothschild banking family had been physically purchasing land in Palestine since the 1880s. And in 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, a Christian Zionist himself, issued what became known as the Balfour Declaration, an official British commitment to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, addressed to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild.
But here's what's significant, okay? And most people don't talk about this. The Balfour Declaration was deliberately addressed to Lord Rothschild, a strategic choice suggested by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, a chemist born in the Pale of Settlement in the Russian Empire. In his autobiography, *Trial and Error*, Weizmann wrote that when Balfour asked him to whom the forthcoming declaration should be addressed, he suggested Lord Rothschild rather than himself, even though he was the president of the English Zionist Federation. Weizmann openly explained the mutual benefit, saying there was a "coincidence of interest between Great Britain and a Jewish Palestine." He told British leaders that a Jewish Palestine would serve as a safeguard for England, especially for the Suez Canal. And a fun fact: Dr. Chaim Weizmann was the first president of Israel in 1948.
So, British imperial strategy and private Zionist financial interests were working in the same direction at the same moment. And by 1948, when Israel was officially declared a state, millions of American Christians had been reading the Scofield Bible for 40 years.
This is why a lot of Christian Zionists say that the modern state of Israel fulfills Isaiah 66. "Can a nation be born in a day?" They point to May 14th, 1948, when Israel declared independence. But here's the timeline: The Balfour Declaration, that British promise, came in 1917, which was 31 years earlier. And Jews had already been returning and building settlements in Palestine for over 60 years before 1948, heavily supported by Rothschilds and others. So, it wasn't exactly a nation appearing out of nowhere in a single day. Right? It was decades of planning, immigration, and institution building that reached a climax on that one day. But Christians were, in a very real sense, pre-programmed or indoctrinated to receive that moment as the fulfillment of prophecy.
And I'm going to prove that this indoctrination is still going on today. And if you're just now realizing how deep this goes, hit subscribe, like, and hype this video because we are about to go even deeper.
I want you to meet someone. He appears in an Israeli-produced documentary called *Till Kingdom Come*, a film examining the relationship between American evangelicals and the state of Israel. And I think the Israelis who made it knew exactly what they were capturing.
"Every good thing we know, all the things we love about the Bible, they were given to us of the Jewish nation. Israel, their people, the Jews, are better than all of us. They're better than all of us. And you need to accept that."
That is Boyd Bingham IV speaking to children in his congregation at his church, Binghamtown Baptist Church in Middlesborough, Kentucky, telling the children of his congregation that the Jews are better than them. And he goes on:
"This is where, with the kids, where we start our indoctrination." And I know that's a strong word to use, indoctrination, that it, you know, it gets such a bad reputation, but that's where it starts. Um, that's where it started with me.
"Where the indoctrination begins." He acknowledges the magnitude of the word "indoctrination," but then doubles down and says that is where his support for Israel began as well.
Later, Boyd's father, William Bingham III, says something else in a sermon at that same church, this time with a very important Jewish woman named Yael Eckstein sitting in the pews. Listen to this.
"There's a battle on the way, and God is going to miraculously intervene. All the wealthy owners of the NBA basketball teams and the movie moguls and all those wealthy Jews you were with in Los Angeles, many of them are not practicing Jews. Some of them are even even atheistic, and their heart's going to be turned again to Israel, and the money's going to pour in, and then that end-time temple will be built on the Temple Mount."
That Jewish woman, Yael Eckstein, runs an organization called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ). Her entire role day-to-day is being the bridge between American evangelicals and the state of Israel. And her father built that bridge in 1983. IFCJ exists because decades ago, Pat Robertson, the famed televangelist, invited him onto a Christian Broadcast Network telethon. And in Yael's own words:
"Known as a bridge-builder between Jews and Christians, Yael Eckstein. Good to see you again."
"Thanks, Pat. Good to be here."
"My father, he raised something like $4 million in like 30 minutes. That's when he realized these Christians want to be part of this." That telethon became a foundation, and that foundation became one of the largest channels of private American money flowing into Israel, in addition to everything the US government sends.
And surprisingly, when the documentarian asked Yael how it felt to sit in that church and hear a sermon where Jewish people are woven into a Christian end-times timeline that they don't share, she's pretty transparent.
"As a Jewish person, whenever you hear Jesus intertwined into Old Testament teachings, it's a trigger. It's a trigger. But then immediately I'm like, 'This is me. I have to separate myself from the situation. Look at it through godly eyes.' The starting point is that we're different. They are Christian. They believe in Jesus. And that's okay. I'm going to interpret the Bible through Jewish eyes. And it's a paradox. And once you get five steps ahead of that, it gets really freaking complicated. But that's why I don't go to those five steps."
Watch that answer closely. She says that as a Jewish person, whenever you hear Jesus intertwined into Old Testament teachings, it's a trigger. But she chooses deliberately not to follow that discomfort any further because the moment you do, you have to ask the question which this entire relationship depends on you not asking: Why are people like Yael and other Jewish people who disagree with this theology aligning with the American evangelicals who believe it?
And the documentary reveals the reason perfectly. Right before Yael visited that Kentucky Baptist church, she had been at a gala in Beverly Hills where IFCJ presented a $5 million gift to the FIDF, the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces. You know, the military that has been accused of committing war crimes. Yeah, that IDF. And it's right after bumping elbows with Miriam Adelson, Trump's biggest donor.
"Hello."
"Nice to meet with you. An honor. I actually, I was with you at the party at the White House."
And her father bragging about how through their foundation, Christians have donated over a billion dollars to Israel.
"The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, where Christians have given through us $1.4 billion to help Israel and the Jewish people."
She then visits that small Kentucky church located in Middlesborough, Kentucky, which has one of the highest poverty rates among small towns in the country, with 40% of the town's population living in poverty. And we see Yael visibly taking in homes that look abandoned, witnessing real poverty in real time.
"We have kids that live here that we pick up every week, and they live here."
"That's where they live?"
"Yeah."
"That looks like a house that's been abandoned, not where people live."
"That's the way a lot of these houses look."
But then she walks into that church, sits through a sermon she fundamentally disagrees with, and takes a $25,000 check from a congregation in one of the poorest towns in the nation.
"Ever since our church has been involved in the fellowship with your father and yourself, we've been blessed, and today we have $25,000 more dollars, and we're going to keep putting the blessings of Abraham on us."
$5 million for the IDF, $25,000 pulled out of one of the poorest towns in America. And that's the model working exactly as designed. And Yael Eckstein isn't naive. She hears the trigger. She feels it on camera in real time. And she suppresses it anyway because the money keeps flowing and the mission keeps moving. She built an entire career on stopping herself five steps before the question her own gut was asking her to face: Why are Jews partnering with evangelical Christians when they fundamentally disagree?
So much so that she is triggered to hear their beliefs that differ from her own. And IFCJ is far from the only organization doing this. It's one charity in a long list of organizations built to turn American evangelical devotion, and in some cases fear, directly into financial support for the modern state of Israel.
But to understand how deep this goes, you need to know one key term: Hasbara. In Hebrew, it simply means "explanation," but in practice, it's Israel's official public diplomacy operation. So, their coordinated effort to shape narratives, aka propaganda, especially here in the United States. They take Hasbara so seriously that back in 2016, they held an international competition for videos promoting the Jewish state. The deputy foreign minister said the initiative sought to, quote, "shift the approach of Israeli public diplomacy from the defensive to the offensive."
And what is one of their most effective Hasbara pipelines? Well, Christian Zionism, of course. And we now have the official government documents to prove it. This is a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing. FARA requires anyone acting as an agent of a foreign government on US soil to register with the Department of Justice.
Now, this is an official government document, and what's in this one is extraordinary. On September 27th, 2025, a California firm called Show Faith by Works LLC registered under FARA as an agent of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And their stated plan: the largest Christian church geo-fencing campaign in US history. And here's what that means in practice, okay? They draw invisible digital boundaries around specific churches and Christian colleges in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and beyond, timed specifically around worship services. And any phone that enters those zones during church hours receives targeted pro-Israel ads and content. So, you're sitting in a pew and your phone is being worked on by a foreign government's influence operation. Oh. And they don't have to legally alert the church that they are doing this, by the way.
But they go even further, okay? They lay everything out explicitly. Their messaging: pro-Israel messaging, like messages to pastors and Christians about Israel, its history, and its people, its biblical significance, its place in the Christian New Testament, and more. And anti-Palestinian state messaging, which includes some interesting contradictions like, "Palestinians elect Hamas's leadership," immediately followed by, "There was never a state of Palestine at any time in history." So, Palestinians are responsible for their leadership, but also don't exist as a people with a state? Pick one.
But it goes even further, okay? They document their grassroots organizing, which includes pastoral education and resources, such as videos from a variety of pastors targeting different types of churches, youth groups, Black churches, and Catholic targeting by a Hispanic Anglican pastor. But they don't only want to target the churches through their pastors. No, they also detail plans to target Christian colleges, Christian events, Christian social media influencers, and Christian podcasts.
And wouldn't you know it, Lake Point Church, the same church from the podcast who called their own theology expert Nick Fuentes, appears on the list of targeted American mega-churches in this filing, along with hundreds of other churches in the region. And on top of all of that, they laid out plans for a touring mobile museum called "The 107 Experience" with virtual reality designed to visit church parking lots and campuses, which seemingly got reworked into a mobile, like, Israel history museum according to their most recent supplemental filing. So, I guess they realized maybe that churchgoers don't want to experience the atrocities from 107 in a VR headset. And the total contract value is approximately $4.1 million. This is Hasbara targeted at the exact audience that forms the backbone of Christian Zionism in America. And it's registered with the United States government.
Now, I want you to look at this timeline carefully, okay? Because Show Faith by Works LLC wasn't the only company to file a FARA document on behalf of Israel in September 2025. There was not one, not two, but actually three major Israeli-funded operations filed within days of each other.
On September 18th, 2025, a different FARA document was filed on behalf of Israel. Brad Parscale, chief strategy officer at Salem Media Group, the company that distributes *The Charlie Kirk Show* and other Zionist programming, registers his firm Clock Tower X LLC as a foreign agent for Israel. Their $6 million contract, later bumped to $9 million, includes integrating Israeli government narrative messaging directly into Salem Media properties.
Then on September 26th, 2025, Bridges Partners LLC files with FARA to disclose the Esther Project, a paid influencer campaign recruiting US social media creators to push pro-Israel content.
And on September 27th, 2025, Show Faith by Works files its full 86-page operational plan to, in their own words, "create the largest geo-fencing and targeted Christian digital campaign ever."
And if all that wasn't enough, they close out the year with a Hasbara finale.
"A partnership between Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Friends of Zion Museum led to the unprecedented visit. As the first time in history, the state of Israel has officially partnered with 1,000 strategic pastors."
In December 2025, Israel flies over 1,000 American evangelical pastors to the country on all-expenses-paid trips, the largest such delegation in Israeli history.
"One of the goals of this gathering is to strengthen Christian support during a time of growing global anti-semitism. They say the pulpit must speak louder than the propaganda. So, it's just, uh, I think an extraordinary time for pastors to go to their pulpits and to speak with clarity and with boldness and to push back on the anti-semitism, the bigotry that is being pushed toward Jewish people and toward the people of Israel."
And they return home as unofficial ambassadors, trained to carry the pro-Israel messaging back to their congregations.
Now, I'm not telling you what to conclude from that timeline, but I am going to ask the question out loud: Why was there a flurry of FARA filings in September 2025? What happened then?
Well, on September 10th, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. But here's what makes this even more suspicious: None of these operations started in response to his death because, according to each of those FARA filings, the contracts were already in motion. Clock Tower X filed on September 18th, but the contract was being drawn up in August. Bridges Partners filed on September 26th, but Project Esther had been paying influencers since June 16th, 2025, showing the campaign plan to peak in September, with the monthly budget jumping to $250,000, the highest of the periods shown. Show Faith by Works filed with FARA on September 27th, but sent its first $326,000 monthly invoice to Israel via Havas Media Group on August 25th, 2025, meaning the geo-fencing campaign was in the works over a month before the official filing.
And to make it even more bizarre, Charlie Kirk's own memorial service was allegedly geo-fenced as well. Charlie's memorial was held on September 21st at State Farm Stadium. Days later, Andrew Kolvet, TPUSA spokesman and executive producer of *The Charlie Kirk Show*, bragged that their tech partners had tracked 277,000 devices at that memorial.
"Our partners that do sort of geo-tagging with devices, they told us that they tracked over 277,000 devices in the vicinity of State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. 277,000. Now, let me repeat that: 277,000 devices at a memorial service tracked."
So, was all of this a coincidence? I don't know. But I think that you deserve to know that this timeline exists. And the organization that is now carrying this torch most visibly into American evangelical spaces is Turning Point Faith, Charlie Kirk's own faith arm. And I have been digging into who is running it, who is funding it, and what its actual agenda is. And what I have found deserves its own video, truly. So if you want that investigation, let me know in the comments.
So here's what we know: A theology called dispensationalism was invented in the 1830s by an Anglo-Irish aristocrat that conveniently serves imperial ambitions to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. It was widely distributed through the Scofield Reference Bible's evolving commentary placed right next to scripture, turbocharged by a hundred years of money, influence, and free trips to Israel, and foreign agent operations registered with the United States government targeting your church, your pastor, and your phone while you sit in the pew.
And now we have a name for what that is. A cult is a group or social movement characterized by an intense devotion to a charismatic leader, a specific ideology, or a set of practices. Experts distinguish cults from healthy communities by their use of manipulative control, psychological pressure, and isolation to exploit members. Manipulative control, like shaping what gets preached from American pulpits through foreign-funded pastoral sources. Psychological pressure, label anyone who questions it an anti-semite, a radical, Nick Fuentes. Isolation, make sure no one in the pew ever hears the other side of the theological argument. And if they do, discredit them before they finish their sentence.
Remember that word, Hasbara? It relies heavily on Christians never asking one specific question. When Christian Zionists are challenged on their unwavering support of the modern state of Israel, they go to Romans 11 and they close the conversation every time. Here's the Lake Point podcast giving their explanation of Romans 11:
"In general, yes, that there is blessing that Christians should expect to accompany, uh, blessing ethnic descendants of Abraham. And people get into a million questions about the Ashkenazi Jews. And I'm like, 'Hey man, here's all I know. The greatest concentration of descendants of Abraham in the world, they live in Israel.'"
"40, I think it's 45%."
"Like around 45% of the world's Jewish people live there."
But here's what they almost never talk about. Okay, in John 8, Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees, the Jewish leaders who rejected him and who claimed to be children of Abraham. He says, "You are of your father, the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." That's Jesus in the New Testament talking to the Jewish leaders who rejected him. And in Revelation 3:9, he warns about those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie. So who is he talking about? Who are the people claiming to be Jews who are not? Because if you follow that question all the way to the end, the entire theological foundation of Christian Zionism starts to crack. And I think that's exactly why we should be asking it.
Thanks for watching.
