[National Conservative @NatCon2022]

Most Americans would probably be very surprised to learn how often Jewish and Muslim communities were actually allies against the Christians. The history is complex.

Setting the stage:

Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628:

Tens of thousands of Jews fought alongside the Persian Zoroastrians of the Sasanian Empire against the Byzantine Empire.

After the siege of Jerusalem, in 614, Jewish soldiers mass murdered the Christian population of the city. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was burned to the ground and Christian relics destroyed.

The war causes the overextension and collapse of both empires leading to the dramatic overnight rise of Islam.

Muslim conquest and occupation of Visigothic Spain 711-1148:

The Jewish communities in Spain actively supported the Muslim Umayyad armies led by Tariq ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nusayr. Most notably, welcoming the Muslims and helping them establish a the initial foothold at the city of Toledo in 711. Jews were granted privileged "dhimmi" status and called, "the people of the book." Jewish chroniclers wrote about the Muslim conquest as their "liberation."

Things deteriorated for Jews in 1148, when an extreme faction of the Alhomads invaded Spain and demanded their forced conversion. This drove some Jews to support the Christians, while other Jews continued supporting rival factions of Muslims.

Third Crusade 1187–1192:

Jewish communities in Egypt, Syria, and Palestine supported Saladin’s army and provided Jewish soldiers as well as supplies and physicians.

Siege of Constantinople 1453:

The Jewish community switched sides and were protected by the Sultan when the Turkish army stormed the city.

Expulsion from Spain 1492:

Jews are ordered to convert or leave. Sultan Bayezid II dispatched the Ottoman navy to pick up tens of thousands of Jewish people at ports in what is now Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

Ottoman–Habsburg wars 16th to the 18th centuries:

Jewish communities in Hungary, Croatia, and the Balkans routinely supported Ottoman forces.

Greek War of Independence 1821–1830:

The Jewish community in Greece fought on the side of the Ottomans.

Crimean War 1853–1856:

Jewish soldiers served in the Ottoman army and local Jewish residents joined the Crimean auxiliaries alongside the Tatar population.

Hamidian Massacres 1890:

Following the massacres of Armenian Christians by the Ottomans, German-based Jewish author and newspaper reporter Theodore Herzl struck a deal with Sultan Abdul Hamid II. He would organize Jewish members of the press to rehabilitate his image in the European media in exchange for support for the Zionist movement.

Herzl is named in the Israel Declaration of Independence and called the spiritual father of Israel.

The turning point: The Young Turks and World War I (1909–1918)

Jewish communities in the Ottoman Empire generally enjoyed good relations with the Young Turks movement. Many Jews served in the Ottoman army during World War I.

Jewish communities worldwide largely supported the Central Powers (Germany and the Ottoman Empire), viewing them as safe havens for Jews compared to the Russian Empire and with some hope of eventual Jewish autonomy or a homeland in Ottoman-controlled Palestine.

Balfour Declaration of 1917

Britain begins capturing Palestine from the Ottomans during the war. On November 2, 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour issues a letter to Lionel Walter Rothschild pledging support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people."

A global shift occurs overnight, especially outside of the Ottoman Empire. Many Jewish communities move from supporting the Central Powers to favoring the Allies. This is not insignificant because it played a role in getting the USA to enter the war.

Continued Jewish-Muslim relations:

Moroccan Rif War 1921–1926

A majority of Moroccan Jews supported Abd el-Krim’s Rif Republic against French and Spanish colonial forces.

Turkey recognizes Israel 1949

Turkey becomes the first Muslim country to recognize the state of Israel. After decades of quiet military cooperation, Israel and Turkey make a joint security pact in 1996. This begins to fall apart in 2008 over disagreements about the treatment of people in Gaza. In 2023, following the deaths of nine Turkish aid workers, Turkey suspended trade with Israel and now accuses Israel of genocide.

Trump interviewed by Fox News about Putin providing Iran with the location of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East:

“I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, I guess”

“And he probably thinks we’re helping Ukraine, right?”

The Fox News host Brian Kilmeade then noted that the U.S. is aiding Ukraine.

“Yeah, we’re helping them also (…) and so he says that, and China would say the same thing, you know. It’s like, hey, they do it and we do it in all fairness”

[Carrie Prejean Boller @CarriePrejean1]

I used to be a Protestant and think all I needed was my Bible.

But… then I started asking the question no one wanted to answer: Who actually has the authority to interpret Scripture?

That question came from my study of the theological heresy of dispensationalism.

What I found shocked me. I learned, it isn’t ancient Christianity. It didn’t come from the Apostles. It didn’t come from the Church Fathers. It began in the 1800s with John Nelson Darby. A brand new theological system; a heresy which has created confusion among Christian’s.

It divided Israel and the Church into two separate peoples of God. It created two covenants. It pushed fulfillment into the future. It taught that prophecy still depends on a geopolitical nation-state called “Israel” which was founded by atheists in 1948.

I looked deeper and asked…what does that ultimately lead to? I was shocked to discover their belief of a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. The one the Lord predicted would be destroyed in Matthew and it was in 70AD.

"Jesus left the temple area and was going away, when his disciples approached him to point out the temple buildings. He said to them in reply, 'You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.'"
Matthew 24:1-2

This all happened. Jesus predicted it and it was fulfilled.

In 70 AD the Temple was destroyed. The altar was gone. The Levitical priesthood stopped functioning. The animal sacrifices ended.

That is not a minor detail.

The Mosaic covenant was inseparable from Temple sacrifice. Without the Temple, the sacrificial system of the Old Covenant could not continue.

In its place, rabbinic Judaism emerged. No longer centered on Temple sacrifice, but on Torah study and synagogue life.

The sacrificial order did not continue. It was finished.

So then why would Christian Zionists believe the temple would be built back up again? For what? To bring back animal sacrifices? This goes against Jesus’s own words.

The Church teaches that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is final, perfect, and complete. The Old Covenant sacrifices are over because they were fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, “It is finished.”

The Temple is fulfilled in Christ. The priesthood is fulfilled in Christ. The sacrifices are fulfilled in Christ.

In the Old Covenant, a sacrifice wasn’t complete unless it was eaten. The Passover lamb had to be consumed. So when Jesus says, “This is My Body. This is My Blood,” He is revealing Himself as the true and final Lamb that was slain.

The Eucharist lead me to the Catholic Church. I realized it is not symbolic. It is participation in the once-for-all sacrifice of Calvary. There is no future blood offering coming. There is no need for a third temple. To suggest that redemption requires a return to animal sacrifice is to deny the sufficiency of the Cross.

That is why the Catholic Church does not embrace Zionism. Any system that shifts salvation history away from Christ and back to land, ethnicity, or political power distorts the Gospel.

When theology is detached from the Cross and tied to a modern nation detached from Christ, It no longer is Christianity.

Christ did not die to restart the Old Covenant. He fulfilled it.

In Christ, Jew and Gentile are all welcomed into this new covenant. Through baptism, we are grafted into the covenant promises. The people of God are defined not by bloodline but by union with Jesus Christ, our King. We are not waiting for another altar. We already have one. A priest once told me that in the Catholic Mass, the altar serves as the sacred table where the one and only sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the true Victim, is made present, with the priest acting in persona Christi to offer this Holy Sacrifice, symbolically uniting the faithful to Christ's sacrifice on Calvary, thereby making the Eucharist the source and summit of Christian life.

And that truth led me home to the Catholic Church.
