The Impossible Dream

Why did Christian Zionists pursue the impossible dream of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel?

The last of the Jews to rule over the land of Israel sided with the Romans in the Great Revolt, which brought about the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD.  So the last Jewish ruler under the Romans died in 92 AD.

After that, Bar Kochba led a revolt in 132 AD to create a new Jewish kingdom in the land of Israel.  This revolt failed and brought an end to the providence of Judaea in 135 AD.

There was still no type of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel when the Byzantine Empire took control in 390 AD.

In 614 AD, Jewish forces in the land of Judah helped the Sassanid Empire in the hopes of ruling over the land of Israel as province of the Sassanid Empire.  However, the Byzantine Empire drove out the Sassanid Empire, ending all hope of returning Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

There was no form of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel when the Arab Caliphates took over in 636 AD.  Any hope of this changing was crushed when the Crusaders took control of the land of Israel in 1099 AD.  This did not change when the Ayyubid Sultanate took control of the land of Israel in 1187 AD.  There was no chance of this when the Mamluk Sultanate began to take control of the land of Israel in 1260 AD. Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel seemed even more like an impossible dream when the Ottoman Empire took control in 1517 AD.  There had not been a Jewish country that was ruled by a Jewish ruler in the land of Israel since 92 AD.

Yet, this impossible dream of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel soon became the dream of Christian Zionists.

In 1640 AD, Parliamentary censorship of the Puritans ended.  That same year, Jews were allowed to return to England, for the first time since they were expelled in 1290 AD.  It seemed like the time to help the Jews establish self-rule in the land of Israel was at hand.  So, the Puritan leaders in England met with the leading Ashkenazi rabbis of England in London, England, to offer their help in establishing Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.  Much to their surprise, every single one of these rabbis was adamantly opposed this!

It seemed like the dream of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel had became only the dream of Christian Zionists.  Since the Jews themselves seemed opposed to living under self-rule in the land of Israel, this idea seemed like an impossible dream.  Yet against all reason, the Christian Zionists continued to pursue this impossible dream.

In fact, for the next two hundred years, more and more of the Children of Truth in Great Britain and the United States became Christian Zionists.  During this entire time, they worked in so many ways, to help Jews become self-governing in the land of Israel one day.

Christian Zionists bypassed the Rabbis, and met with ordinary Ashkenazi Jews.  They sought to change the hearts and minds of Ashkenazi Jews, about Jews becoming self-governing in the land of Israel again.  They worked to change public opinion to support this idea.  They worked to change laws that would be favorable in helping Jews make the transition to a country, that did not even exist at the time.  They worked to influence the Ottoman Empire to allow Jews to move back to the land of Israel in greater numbers.  One of them even spent his entire fortune building docks and inns in New Haven, Connecticut, to handle the large number of Jews, who would one day move to the Land of Israel, and set up a Jewish government there.

In 1809, Charles Simeon and William Wilberforce worked with Jewish Children of Truth, including Joseph Frey, to form The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst The Jews (aka the London Jews Society).  Soon more Jewish Children of Truth, like Joseph Woolf, Ridley Herschell, and Phillip Hirshfield, joined the London Jews Society.  They worked vigorously to galvanize support among the British Children of Truth for helping the Jews.  They also worked with Jewish Children of Truth in Germany to stir up a long dormant desire for Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

So in 1820 AD, James Frere, James Haldane Stewart, and Edward Irving, began renewing the fires of action among the British Children of Truth to bring about Jewish self-governance in the land of Israel.  They were soon joined by other prominent British religious professionals, like Horatius Bonar, Andrew Bonar, J. C. Rile, and Robert Murray McCheyne, to bring about a shift in public opinion throughout England and Scotland concerning this goal.

In 1835 AD, the London Jews Society sent the first medical missionaries ever to Jerusalem, Dr. Albert Gerstmann and pharmacist Melville Bergheim, to combat the disease that made the land of Israel so hard to live in.

Edward Beckerteth and Lord Shaftesbury (Anthony Ashley-Cooper) joined the London Jews Society as well.  Lord Shaftesbury convinced Britain to build a British Consulate in Jerusalem in 1838 AD, in anticipation of the future need for diplimatic relationships, when the Jews were living under self-rule in the land of Israel.

In 1839 AD, the Church of Scotland sent Robert Murray McCheyne, Andrew Bonar, Alexander Black, and Alexander Keith on a mission to report on the condition of the Jews living in the land of Israel. These men sought out Jewish communities on their way to the land of Israel and on the way back, to determine how prepared these Jews were to resume Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

These Christian Zionists during this two hundred year period included many famous religious professionals in Great Britain and America like: Simeon Ashe, Edmund Calamy, John Cennick, Jonathan Edwards, John Gill, Thomas Goodwin, William Gouge, Robert Haldane, Edward Irving, John Owen, Increase Mather, Joseph Priestly, John Rippon, Samuel Rutherford, Ezra Stiles, Charles Wesley, and John Wesley.

The founders and leaders of every major British and American Protestant denomination founded in this time period were Christian Zionists.

There were also many famous Christian Zionists from other occupations including: President John Adams, James Bicheno, John Locke, John Milton, and Sir Isaac Newton.

During this entire two hundred year period, the Christian Zionists faced constant opposition from most Ashkenazi Rabbis, as well as from Gentiles who belonged to the False Church of Rome.  

However, in 1840 AD, things began to change.  American Christian Zionist John Nelson Darby went to Geneva, Switzerland.  While there, he gave lectures for eleven evenings concerning the restoration of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel, and the return of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to rule this Earth from Jerusalem.  These lectures were soon translated and published in newspapers all over Europe.

That same year, American Christian Zionist Missionaries began arriving in the land of Israel to pave the way for the return of Jewish self-governance in the land of Israel.  They brought modern education, modern farming techniques, and modern medicine to the Jews who lived there.  They also began mapping out the location of the ancient cities that had been destroyed during the Bar Kochba Revolt in 135 AD.  They anticipated the returning Jews rebuilding these cities.

In England, that same year, another Jewish Child of Truth, G. W. Pieritz, exposed the Damascus Blood Libels against Jews for the lie it was in the Times, the main newspaper of London, preventing an outbreak of violence against Jews in Britain.  Also, another Jewish Child of Truth, Erasmus Calman began vigorously lobbing for Jews to return to self-rule in the land of Israel.

The British government, headed by Queen Victory, another Christian Zionist, leaked to The Times that it was considering helping the Jews establish Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel in 1840 AD.

So, when Jewish leaders were approached about this in London by Christian Zionist leaders that year, two hundred years after the initial attempt by the Puritans, they were ready to listen.  In fact, some of them even tried to act like it was their idea first!

No Jews were more active or vocal in this desire than the Jewish Children of Truth.

This zeal to return Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel among the Jewish Children of Truth got the attention of Lord Shaftesbury.  So in 1841 AD, he took out a full page add in The Colonial Times, addressed to the heads of all Protestant countries in Europe, urging them to help bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.  He also pressed for the British to build the first Protestant church in the land of Israel, despite opposition from the Ottoman Empire, and those who lived in Jerusalem, that same year.  Also in 1841 AD, he was able to get a Jewish Child of Truth, Michael Alexander, appointed as the first Bishop to run this church when it was built.

After Alexander Keith returned from the land of Israel, he published a best-selling book about his findings in 1841 AD.  This book showed how the land of Israel was a land without a people, and how the people of Israel were a people without a land.  He made it very clear that it was time to reunite the people of Israel with the land of Israel, so Jewish self-rule could return to the land of Israel.  In that same year, he returned to the land of Israel with his son, Dr. George Keith, to take the very first photographs of the land of Israel.

Christian Zionists were active in America as well during the period.  Professor George Bush, who Presidents Bush were named after, wrote a best selling book in 1844 AD calling for America to help the Jews return to the land of Israel, and establish self rule there.  That same year, Christian Zionists convinced the American government to build a consulate in Jerusalem, to have an established presence in place, when Jewish self-rule returned to the land of Israel.

In 1845 AD, Lord Shaftesbury brought a petition to the British government, with almost 30,000 signatures, calling for the construction of the first Protestant church in the land of Israel.  That same year, construction began from funds raised by the London Jews Society.  This church, called Christ Church, was completed in the compound of the British Consulate in Jerusalem in 1849 AD.

Finally, Lord Shaftesbury, who was president of the London Jews Society, in 1853 AD, petitioned the British prime minister to work to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

In 1864 AD, Charles Spurgeon stoked the fire again in Britain, when he wrote a best selling book calling for the Children of Truth everywhere to take action to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

So, when Mark Twain visited the land of Israel in 1867 AD, the only people taking any meaningful action to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel, were British and American Christian Zionists.

The fires of Christian Zionism were increasing in America as well.  Among the many Americans influenced by these efforts of John Nelson Darby was William Blackstone.

William Blackstone had been a successful business man with connections to many prominent American business men.  In 1870 AD, he had an encounter with the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), and left off his business pursuits the next day to preach that the Man of Truth was coming soon.  He soon became a prominent Christian Zionist.

In 1878 AD, Blackstone wrote a book about this called "Jesus is coming!".

John Nelson Darby had continued to awaken American Children of Truth to take action to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.  This was one of the main points of the Niagara Bible Conference that he lead in 1878 AD.

In 1890 AD, Blackstone held a conference in Chicago to stir American Christian Zionists into action.

In 1891 AD, Christian Zionist business men like J. D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, Cyrus McCormick, and others inspired by Blackstone, signed a petition called the Blackstone Memorial.  The Blackstone Memorial asked for America to give support to the Ashkenazi Jews immigrating into the land of Israel to create their own state.  It was publicly given to the President of the United States that same year.

President Harrison rejected their request.  So, these Christian Zionist business men started taking action to help the Jews create a strong economy in the land of Israel.  This would support a strong tax base needed for Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

These efforts in Europe and America were not in vain.  Ashkenazi Jews, other than Jewish Children of Truth, had not taken any action to bring this impossible dream to pass, but were primed to do so.

Finally, the impossible dream began to come true, when Theodore Herzl, wrote a book called, "The Jewish State", in 1896 AD.  This pamphlet aroused Ashkenazi Jews to take concrete action to bring about this impossible dream.

William Hechler, a German-born Christian Zionist from Britain, read one of the first copies just weeks after publication.  He then sought out Herzl to help him.  He began helping Herzl gain political credibility by introducing him to the Grand Duke of Baden, another Christian Zionist, and uncle of the German Kaiser.

In 1897 AD, Hechler introduced Herzl to the German ambassador to Austria, Von Eulenburg, another Christian Zionist.  Von Eulenburg also began to speak to the German Kaiser about supporting Herzl as well.

So the German Kaiser met twice with Herzl in 1898 AD.  Even though the German Kaiser had been unable to help Herzl in bringing about the Jewish State directly, these meeting gave Herzl and Jewish Zionism the political legitimacy that Herzl needed.  So, many more Jews came to see the impossible dream of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel to be their dream as well.

When William Blackstone heard in 1903 AD, that the British had offered Herzl land in Uganda for a Jewish state, he took action.  He took a Bible, highlighted all of the verses concerning the promise of the Father of Truth to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel, and then sent that Bible, along with a passionate note to Herzl.  Herzl ended all consideration of accepting a Jewish state anywhere other than the land of Israel, after reading the view of Blackstone.

Then came World War I in 1914 AD.

Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson, a Christian Zionist, commanded the Zion Mules Corp in 1915 AD.  He used this opportunity to begin teaching Jewish Zionists under his command how to win wars.

That same year, Christian Zionist (according to his own writings) Winston Churchill worked to convince the British to use the process developed by Chaim Weizmann.  This process allowed Britain to mass produce the necessary gun powder to win the war, after the Germans had cut off the supply of a key ingredient.  This indebted Britain to Weizmann, when his process saved Britain from certain defeat in 1916 AD.

Also in 1916 AD, Jewish Zionists asked William Blackstone to create a second Blackstone Memorial, to present to President Woodrow Wilson.  Blackstone enthusiastically pursued the project, and made sure to get the signature of the head of the Presbyterian denomination, that President Wilson belong to, near the top of the petition.

In 1917 AD, Blackstone privately presented the petition to President Wilson, his fellow Christian Zionist.  This petition emboldened President Wilson to publicly state his support for a Jewish state.  President Wilson also let the British government know, that America would support such a move by the British.

Later in 1917 AD, a good friend of Weizmann, Prime Minister Balfour, an ardent Christian Zionist, worked with King George V, another Christian Zionist, to give land that Britain would win from the Ottoman Empire, to create a Jewish state as payment for saving Britain from certain defeat.

This was publish in the Balfour declaration, the single most significant paragraph to be written since the Book of Truth had been completed in 95 AD.

Also that year, Lieutenant-Colonel Patterson resumed teaching Jewish Zionists how to win wars when the Jewish Legion was formed.

During the seventy-seven years from when the British Jewish leadership was finally willing to listen to Christian Zionists concerning creating Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel in 1840 AD, and the assurance of this becoming a reality by the Balfour Declaration in 1917 AD, there continued to be many other famous British and American Christian Zionists like E. W. Bullinger, Robert Browning, E.J. Poole-Conner, James Neil, Colonel C. R. Conder, Edward Cazalet, George Elliot (AKA Mary Anne Evans), Laurence Oliphant, Jan Smuts, and General Sir Charles Warren.

Also during this period, Christian Zionism spread far beyond the shores of Britain and America.  It became a world-wide phenomenon that included people like: Henry Dunant of Switzerland, and Sun Yat-sen of China.

Also, opposition to Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel by the False Church of Rome, and most of the Rabbis, continued as it had since Christian Zionism began.

After World War I ended, the British were given the land of Israel in the peace treaty that followed.  So in 1922 AD, the League of Nations created the British Mandate Palestine in the land of Israel to carry out the promise in the Balfour Declaration.  This would make the impossible dream a reality.

Winston Churchill proposed doing this by creating one state in British Mandate Palestine, where Jews and Arabs would live under the rule of one government.  So there was a Jewish government ruling in the land of Israel under the authority of a Gentile empire for the first time since 92 AD. 

It soon became apparent that the Arabs would not live at peace with the Jews in the same state.  When the Arabs were offered to partition the land, so they could have their own state in 1936 AD, they refused that as well.

So Captain Orde Wingate, a very devout Christian Zionist, worked with the Jewish Agency in 1938 AD to teach Jews in the land of Israel how to fight effectively against Arab terrorism.  He taught them to defeat Arab terrorism by using special operations squads.  This ensured that Jewish self-rule could endure in the land of Israel without the protection of the British.

In 1939 AD, Winston Churchill did all he could to prevent passage of the White Paper, so that Jews could continue to immigrate into the land of Israel unabated.  This would allow them to create a Jewish majority necessary for Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.  When the White Paper passed over his objections, he used his position as head of the British navy to issue orders to not search ships headed to the land of Israel for Jewish immigrants.

Then World War II came in 1939 AD.

During the war, Christian Zionists like Corrie ten Boom protected Jews from the Nazis, so they could return to the land of Israel to create a Jewish state there.

In 1944 AD, Churchill began to seek to create a two-state solution instead, after Chaim Weizmann convinced him that it was better. However, he was in the minority in the British government on this issue, and could not bring about a change in the policy of the British government.

After the war ended in 1945 AD, Churchill began to work on this goal through the United Nations.  So in 1947 AD, the United Nations produced a partition plan that defined the borders of the Jewish State.  The Jews accepted the plan, but the Arabs rejected it.

The new British government did not like the plan, and responded by announcing within days, that they would be pulling out of the land of Israel, once the British Mandate expired with the start of May 15, 1948, at midnight.

So, the Jews in the land of Israel voted to create the Jewish State on May 14, 1948, one day before the British Mandate expired.  Their first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, announced this to the world via the radio.  Harry S. Truman, another Christian Zionist, the new President of the United States, called within minutes of the end of the declaration, to welcome the return of independent Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

Thus, the impossible dream of the Christian Zionists came true almost 400 years after they began to dream it.

Christian Zionists like Clark Clifford, Ted Cruz, Tom Delay, Mike Evans, Jerry Falwell, Don Finto, John Hagee, Malcholm Hedding, Mike Huckabee, Martin Luther King Junior, Hal Lindsay, John F. McArthur, James David Manning, Chuck Missler, Sandor Nemeth, David Pawson, Pat Robertson, Walid Shoebot, Jack Van Impe, Rexella Van Impe, and John Walvoord have worked to keep the dream alive since that time.  Today in America, there are an estimated 55 million Christian Zionists.

The impossible has happened.

How could have all of this happened?

This is the work of the Greatest Zionist.

Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) was the primary instrument used by the Father of Truth to accomplish this.  He taught the Children of Truth to bring about the impossible dream of Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

It was more than just the luck of the Irish that the descendants of the Galatians, who Paul the Jew focused his ministry on, were the Gentile Children of Truth from Great Britain and America, who pursued the impossible dream.  It was primarily the descendants of those who practiced Celtic Christianity, in the original form brought to them by disciples of Paul the Jew, who never gave up on the impossible dream.

The Gentile Children of Truth learned compassion for Israel from Paul the Jew (Romans 9:1-4).  They desired, like Paul the Jew, for Israel to be saved, even though most Jews do not understand that Rabbinic Judaism can never make them right with the Father of Truth (Romans 10:1-3).

Paul the Jew reminded the Gentile Children of Truth, that he who bought the Good News to the Gentiles, was also a Jew (Philippians 3:4-6).  Paul the Jew reminded them, that a Jew had showed them how to come into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:21-23).

Paul the Jew reminded the Gentile Children of Truth, that they had been made part of Israel by the blood of the Man of Truth - THE JEW (Ephesians 2:11-13).  Paul the Jew reminded them, that it was only through the efforts of the Jewish Prophets of Truth, the Jewish Apostles of Truth, and their Jewish savior, the Man of Truth, that they had been made part of Israel (Ephesians 2:19-22).

Paul the Jew reminded the Gentile Children of Truth, that the Jews had been entrusted with the Book of Truth, even if many of the Jews did not believe what was in it (Romans 3:1-3).  Paul the Jew reminded them, that everything they had been given by the Father of Truth, including the Man of Truth, had came to them from the Jews (Romans 9:3-5).  Paul the Jew reminded them, that they owed an enormous debt to the Jewish Children of Truth, for bringing the message of salvation to them (Romans 15:25-27).  Paul the Jew reminded them, that the Renewed Covenant that brought them into the House of Truth, had been given to Israel (Hebrews 8:8-12).

The Gentile Children of Truth learned from Paul the Jew, that the Father of Truth has never cast away Israel, but has always preserved Israel (Romans 11:1-2).  Paul the Jew told them, that there would always be Jewish Children of Truth (Romans 11:2-5)  Paul the Jew told them, that there had always been Jews, who were blinded by the doctrine taught by the Rabbis (Romans 11:6-10).  Paul the Jew told them, that they were the means of bringing the Jews back to the Father of Truth (Romans 11:11-14).  Paul the Jew told them, that the fate of the world was tied to that of Israel (Romans 11:15).  Paul the Jew told them, that they had been grafted into Israel, so that their fate was tied to that of Israel (Romans 11:16-18).  Paul the Jew told them, that the Father of Truth would one day graft all Jews back into Israel (Romans 11:19-24).  Paul the Jew told them, that all of Israel would be saved through the Gentile Children of Truth, despite Rabbinic opposition (Romans 11:25-31).

Paul the Jew reminded the Gentile Children of Truth, that the Father of Truth would do everything that He had ever promised, including what He had promised concerning Israel, as evidenced by giving them the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (2 Corinthians 1:20-22).

The Father of Truth does not just want to give Christian Zionists an impossible dream, and then bring it to pass, but He wants to give you an impossible dream, and then bring it to pass.  He wants you to come into the House of Truth, where He brings impossible dreams to pass.

Like Christian Zionists, the Father of Truth will first put a desire in your heart, and then bring that desire to pass, when you come into the House of Truth (Psalm 37:4-5). He has a good plan for all who come into the House of Truth (Jeremiah 29:11-13).  He will bring to pass the impossible dream that He starts in your life, even if is not in your lifetime (Philippians 1:6).

Like Christian Zionists, the Father of Truth performs all things for those who come into the House of Truth (Psalm 57:1-2).  The impossible dream that He gives, cannot not be done in human strength alone, but it can only come to pass with His help (Luke 18:27).  He will not only give you an impossible dream, but He will also give you the ability to make that dream come true (Philippians 2:13).

Like Christian Zionists, the Father of Truth will hear the prayers of those who come into the House of Truth (Proverbs 15:29).  He will move Heaven and Earth to answer the prayers of those in the House of Truth (James 5:16-18).  He will be looking for ways to bring about what you ask for, after you come into the House of Truth (1 Peter 3:12).

Like Christian Zionists, the Father of Truth withholds no good thing, from those who come into the House of Truth (Psalm 84:10-12).  He will give you everything you need, if you will pursue after His impossible dream in the House of Truth (Matthew 6:32-33).  He wants to give you everything that you need, to fulfill His will for you on this Earth, when you come into the House of Truth (1 John 5:13-15).

Like Christian Zionists, nothing is impossible for those who have confidence in the Word of Truth that leads to persistent action (Matthew 17:20).  All things are possible, for those who have enough confidence in the Word of Truth to take action (Mark 9:23).  The impossible dream that the Father of Truth gives, can only come to pass by having enough faith in His Word to take action (Hebrews 11:6).

If you will come into the House of Truth, then the Man of Truth will help you have enough confidence in the Word of Truth to take action (Mark 9:23-24).  If you will come into the House of Truth, then the Father of Truth will give you enough confidence in His Word to take the action needed, to bring to pass the impossible dream that He will give you (Ephesians 2:8-10).

No one can stop the impossible dream, that the Father of Truth gives to those who come into the House of Truth, from coming to pass (Romans 8:31-39).  You just need to come into the House of Truth, by confessing that the Man of Truth is in charge of your life, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

Christian Zionists

Why did Gentile Christians become Zionists 300 years before Jews did?

The Romans destroyed Jerusalem, the capital of the Jews, in 70 AD.  The last Jewish ruler under the Romans died in 92 AD.  The Romans brought an end to the providence of Judah, the country of the Jews in 135 AD.

The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) had taken no action to return Jewish self-rule to the land of Israel when the Byzantine Empire took control in 390 AD.  They had done nothing about this when the Arab Caliphates took over in 636 AD.  They showed no interest in this idea when the Crusaders took control of the land of Israel in 1099 AD.  They did not even consider this idea when the Ayyubid Sultanate took control of the land of Israel in 1187 AD.  This was the last thing on their minds when the Mamluk Sultanate began to take control of the land of Israel in 1260 AD.

However, a courtship between the Children of Truth and the Book of Truth (The Bible) developed in western Europe during the time of Mamluk Sultanate rule in the land of Israel.  This courtship would have great impact on Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel centuries later.

This courtship began with John Wycliffe in England.  He began writing books challenging many of the doctrines of the False Church of Rome in 1374 AD.  He then proceeded to translate the Book of Truth from Latin into English, so more people could read it for themselves, which was finished by his friends, after his death in 1388 AD.

Among those influenced by Wycliffe was Jan Hus, who expanded the teaching of these ideas of ordinary people reading the Book of Truth for themselves, without needing guidance from religious professionals.  He translated some of Wycliffe books into the Czech language.  He continued this work until he was executed for doing so in 1415 AD.

This lead to the Hussite wars, which resulted in the first Protestant church, the Hussite church, coming into being in 1436 AD, as well as the first Protestant country in western Europe.

The quest to have people read the Book of Truth was greatly boosted by Gutenberg inventing the movable type printing press in 1439 AD.

The quest for accuracy was boosted when the Constantinople fell in 1453 AD.  Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant and Greek scholars were scattered across western Europe.  This was the first meaningful access to these source documents for the Children of Truth of western Europe in hundreds of years.

Once Gutenberg had finished making improvements to his revolutionary printing process, he began using it to publish the Book of Truth in 1454 AD.

Some members of the Hussite church formed another denomination in 1457 AD.  This denomination, called the Morovian Church today, took things even further by preaching strict adherence to the Sermon on the Mount. 

This second Protestant denomination sent missionaries across western Europe, including Germany and England.  These Morovians spread their doctrine of people coming to know the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) for themselves by reading the Book of Truth for themselves, every place they went.

They were particularly influential in Germany, where people could more easily acquire a copy of the Book of Truth that Gutenberg had printed.  Among those they influenced with the doctrine of John Wycliffe was Martin Luther.

Yet, the Gentile Children of Truth in western Europe were still not concerned with Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel when the Ottoman Empire took control in 1517 AD.

In this same year, Martin Luther nailed The Ninety-five Theses on the door of the church in Worms, Germany, and started the Protestant Reformation.  This document listed ninety-five doctrines of the False Church of Rome that were contrary to the Book of Truth.  Many of these doctrines were the same as those written about by Wycliffe more than 150 years earlier.  The courtship between the Book of Truth and the Children of Truth culminated in the Protestant Reformation that started in 1517 AD.

The Protestant Reformation was the conception of another movement that would give hope for Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

Among those inspired by Wycliffe was William Tyndale.  In 1523 AD, Tyndale sought permission to legally translate the Book of Truth into English in England, but was denied permission.

So, Tyndale moved to Wittenburg, Germany.  Then he sent notice to the king of England that he wanted the law that made possessing an English translation of the Book of Truth a crime repealed.  He let the king know that he would not return until this happen.

So, Tyndale began translating the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) from Greek manuscripts into English in 1525 AD.  This was the first time that direct translation from the language of the Renewed Covenant into English had been accomplished.  The next year, this translation was printed in Worms, Germany.  This was the first printed Renewed Covenant in English.

Soon, copies of his English translation of the Renewed Covenant were printed in Antwerp, Belgium.  These copies were then smuggled into England and Scotland.

The next year, Tyndale had to flee to Antwerp to escape persecution in Germany.  While there, he began mastering Hebrew by studying with various Jewish scholars there.  So in 1529 AD, he began translating the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) directly from Hebrew manuscripts into English, which had never been done before.

However, Tyndale was betrayed, arrested, and imprisoned, near Brussels, Belgium, in 1535 AD, before he could finish his translation of the Original Covenant.

However, his friend Miles Covendale was able to complete it.  He then combined it with the Renewed Covenant that Tyndale had previously translated, and created a single English translation of the Book of Truth.  Covendale began printing the Tyndale Bible that same year.  This was the first printed Book of Truth in English.

The next year, Tyndale was executed, with his final words being, "Lord! Open the king of England's eyes!".

Two years later, the King of England repealed the law that had made possession of the Book of Truth in English a capital crime. (This had a crime since the time of Wycliffe.) He then commissioned the Great Bible of the Church of England.  The Church of England simply adopted the Tyndale Bible and renamed it, with a few minor adjustments.

By 1538 AD, there were three more English translations based on the work of Tyndale available in England.  Even the King James Bible produced in 1611 AD still contained 76% of the work of Tyndale in the translation of the Original Covenant and 83% of the work of Tyndale in the translation of the Renewed Covenant.

Tyndale not only was the first to translate the entire Book of Truth from original language manuscripts into English.  He also learned things from the Book of Truth in the process.  He wrote papers about what he learned at various times.  His other writings include the absolute necessity of the Jews being self-governing in the land of Israel before the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) can return to rule over the Earth.

As the Children of Truth in England and Scotland began reading the Book of Truth for themselves, especially the Renewed Covenant, they began changing their views on Jews and the land of Israel.

They learned that the Spirit of Anti-Jewism was not from the Father of Truth.  They learned that the Jews were not who killed the Man of Truth, as they had been told by the False Church of Rome.

They learned that their destiny was tied to that of the Jewish people by the Everlasting Covenant made with Abraham.  They learned that the Original Covenant and the Renewed Covenant were the inseparable covenants, and both contained the same promise of the Man of Truth ruling this Earth.  They learned that the Return of the King can only happen, after the people of Israel are ruling themselves in the land of Israel.

So they decided to do something about it.  They started working on ways to help the people of Israel to become self-governing in the land of Israel.  The work of Tyndale gave birth to Christian Zionism, which had been conceived with the start of the Protestant Reformation.

The exact birth year of Christian Zionism is not known, but it at least started with the writings of Tyndale.  It is certain that it came into being by 1612 AD, when John Cotton began preaching it in Boston, Lincolnshire, England.  It is certain that the Puritans were Christian Zionists by this time. 

It also is certain that the Pilgrims brought Christian Zionism to the New World when they landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 AD.  Soon after, in 1628 AD, the Puritans came to Massachusetts Bay Colony.  This created a New England that was dominated by Christian Zionists.  The fervor of these Christian Zionists was roused to new levels when John Cotton fled to Boston, Massachusetts in 1632 AD to escape persecution for his preaching.

Christian Zionism had been born and was firmly embedded among the Gentile Children of Truth in Britain and America.  Those Gentile Children of Truth, who read the Book of Truth for themselves, became Zionists about 300 years before Ashkenazi Jews became Zionists.  Christian Zionists were convinced of what they had read in the Book of Truth.  Christian Zionism continued, even after the Protestant Reformation ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 AD.

When the Ashkenazi Jews finally started listening to the Christian Zionists, and becoming Jewish Zionists about two hundred years later, the Christian Zionist had already laid the ground work for creating Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

When Mark Twain visited the land of Israel in 1867 AD, Christian Zionists were already at work there to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel.

Christian Zionists then worked with Jewish Zionists to bring about the Balfour Declaration in 1917 AD, that guaranteed Great Britain would help bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel, when the British gained control of the land of Israel from the Ottoman Empire.

When the Jews in the land of Israel voted to create the Jewish State on May 14, 1948, Christian Zionists were the first to recognize the state of Israel as valid as the United States.

Christian Zionists have continued to help the state of Israel since that time.  Most of them are Gentiles. Yet they continue to be more pro-Israel in their actions than most Jews living outside of Israel in many cases.  In fact, there are Jews living in Israel, who still want to dismantle the Jewish state.

How did Gentile Children of Truth become more pro-Israel than most Jews?

This is the work of the Greatest ZionistThe Father of Truth had preserved the Incorruptible Word in the Indestructible Book, so they could read it.  He gave them the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost), so they could rightly divide the Word of Truth.

The Spirit of Truth showed them from the Book of Truth that the Man of Truth was first and foremost the Messiah of Israel.  The Spirit of Truth showed them from the Book of Truth that the Good News revolves around the promises for the Man of Truth to rule over the kingdom of Israel.  The Spirit of Truth showed them from the Book of Truth that the promises to bring about Jewish self-rule in the land of Israel have always been about the Gentiles.

The Father of Truth promised that the Messiah of Israel would be the cornerstone of the kingdom of David in the land of Israel (Isaiah 28:16).

The Father of Truth had promised that the Messiah of Israel would be rejected by the leadership of Israel that built its institutions (Psalm 118:21-23).  He also promised that the leadership of Israel would also cry from the Temple for the Messiah of Israel to save them (Psalm 118:24-26).

The common people welcomed the Man of Truth in the streets of Jerusalem with cries for the Messiah of Israel to save them (Matthew 21:8-11).  They recognized the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel that would restore the kingdom of David to Israel (Mark 11:8-10).   The leadership of Israel understood that this meant that the Man of Truth was being recognized as the Messiah of Israel by the common people (Luke 19:37-39).  Everyone, but the leadership of Israel, was willing to accept the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel (John 12:12-15).

However, the leadership of Israel, rejected the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel (Matthew 21:42-45).  In fact, the leadership of Israel sought to kill the Man of Truth, rather than accept him as the Messiah of Israel (Mark 12:10-12).  The leadership of Israel rejected the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, and sought to give him to the Gentiles instead (Luke 20:17-20).

This rejection of the Man of Truth by the leadership of Israel as the Messiah of Israel, made it certain that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel, written about by the Prophets of Truth (Acts 4:10-12).  The Man of Truth is that cornerstone of the kingdom of Israel that contains the Gentile Children of Truth (Ephesians 2:19-21).  The rejection of the Man of Truth by the leadership of Israel as the Messiah of Israel, has made it possible for the Gentile Children of Truth to become part of the kingdom of Israel (1 Peter 2:6-10).

So, the Man of Truth said that the leadership of Israel would cry out for him to save them as the Messiah of Israel, sometime after the city of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans (Matthew 23:37-39).  Therefore, Jewish self-rule had to return to the land of Israel, so a future leadership of Israel could cry out for him to save them as the Messiah of Israel from the Temple in Jerusalem (Luke 13:33-35).

No one can become a Christian Zionist, without first coming into the House of Truth.  They can only become part of the kingdom of the Man of Truth, by being born again in the House of Truth (John 3:3-5).  They can only be born again in the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth their king because they believe, that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  They will then be part of the future kingdom of Israel, when the leadership of Israel accepts the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Impossible Economy

How did the economy of Israel become so strong after almost 1800 years of decline?

After the Romans took control of the land of Israel, they were amazed with wealth that was there.  The main sources of wealth throughout the Roman Empire were agriculture products, mining, and trade.  However, the people of Israel who lived in the land of Israel maintained a very robust economy, despite several hindrances.

First, the people of Israel took every seventh day off, while most of the Roman world worked seven days a week.  They not only did not farm on the Sabbath, but they generally did not do any work at all.

Second, the people of Israel effectively took off about six weeks each year from farming to travel to Jerusalem to celebrate three Feasts of Truth (Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles) each year.  These festivals all occurred during the agricultural season, while most of the Roman world had festivals between the end of one agricultural season and the beginning of the next agricultural season.

Third, the people of Israel neither reap nor sowed eight years out of every fifty.  (Every seventh year, the year of release, for forty nine years, and then the year of Jubilee in the fiftieth year.)  In fact, they generally did no work at all, other than what was necessary to sustain life, during those eight years.

Fourth, the land of Israel generally lacked any notable mines.  Whatever metals that may have been present in the past had been mined out long before the Romans showed up.

So, considering that the people of Israel were only working about half as many days as possible at the first main source of wealth, and that the land of Israel lacked the second main source of wealth, poverty seemed certain.  Yet, the people of Israel had tremendous wealth in the land of Israel.

In fact, the land of Israel produced so much wealth that Herod the Great, and his descendants, were able to maintain building projects that rivaled those of Rome.  They built an entire miniature Rome, called Caesarea.  In fact, they built several of these miniature Romes in the land of Israel.  One of them, located on the Mediterranean coast, lacked any kind of natural harbor, so they built a large harbor for it.

They also built extensive fortresses, palaces, and resorts throughout the land of Israel.  They created one of the most comprehensive road systems in the entire Roman Empire.  They even beautified other cities outside of the land of Israel as an act of friendship to nearby Roman providences and client kingdoms.

Most impressive of all, were the efforts started by Herod the Great to expand and beautify the Temple in Jerusalem.  He had a giant retaining wall, using the largest corner stone ever used, to level and expand the Temple complex platform to over thirty five acres.  It was the largest religious complex ever erected, about twenty times larger than the Temple of Dianna in Ephesus.  Over 300,000 people could assemble in the outer court at one time.  This made it tie with the Circus Maximus in Rome as the largest assembly structure in history.

The walls of the Temple were decorated with some of the most costly stones in the world.  The Temple far surpassed anything else in the world for beauty and magnificence.  The Temple literally took the breath away of some people when they saw it for the first time, causing them to pass out.

Hundreds of thousands of people per year, including many foreigners, were constantly employed for almost a hundred years in these building projects.  All of this was financed by taxes laid upon the people of Israel in the land of Israel, and the Gentiles who lived among them.  These projects, that rivaled anything in Rome, were financed without the benefit of tributary, wealth seized in war, or taxes collected from other providences, that financed the building projects of Rome. These internally financed building projects were visual evidence of the tremendous power of the economy in the land of Israel under Herod the Great, and his successors.  There was no doubt that the land of Israel was a land of great wealth.

One reason was the location of the land of Israel was perfect for trade.  The coast on the Mediterranean Sea gave the people of Israel trade with most of the Roman Empire that encompassed this sea.  The position of it on the eastern edge of the Roman Empire gave them to access to the Parthian Empire to the east.  It were also the main connection between the Arabs to the southeast and the rest of the Roman Empire.  It also was connected the inland portions of the Roman Empire of Asia.  Lastly, it was connected to Egypt, which was connected to a large portion of Africa that was south of the Roman Empire.

Another reason was the tourist industry in Jerusalem.  The Temple brought in people from across the Roman Empire and far outside of it to Jerusalem for the three Feasts of Truth each year.  Jews and proselytes from as far away as China and southern Africa came to these festivals.  In fact, there was usually a higher influx in the years of release and the Year of Jubilee.  While Rome had a sizable tourist industry as well, almost all of the tourists were internal to the Roman Empire.  The providence of Judaea brought in far more wealth from external tourism than any other providence in the Roman Empire.

Lastly, the land of Israel produced an amazing amount of agricultural products, due to the rest that the Jews gave it during those eight years of out of every fifty years, when the land was not farmed.

However, all of that wealth began to evaporate when the Great Revolt began in 66 AD, since large scale war tends to be hard on agriculture, disruptive to trade, and bad for tourism.  When the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 AD, it brought an end to most of the tourism.  The majority of tourists had been Jews making pilgrimage to worship at the Temple.

After the Great Revolt ended, there was still wealth created from agriculture and trade.  The land of Israel still produced abundantly.  It was still a convenient connecting point that was close to the geographical center of the Old World.  So, trade continued as long as peace prevailed.

This all changed when Bar Kochba began his revolt in Modi'in in 132 AD.  The infrastructure that facilitated trade was destroyed during the revolt.  When the Jews were expelled from Judaea in 135 AD, business connections between these Jews and Jews outside of the Roman Empire were severed.  The wealth from trade left the land of Israel with the people of Israel.

The land of Israel began a long and steady decline in agriculture at this time as well, particularly since it stopped receiving both the early and latter rain each year, that was vital for growing crops.  Agriculture was no longer a source of wealth in the land of Israel after the Jews were expelled in 135 AD.

The economy improved some after the Byzantine Empire took control of the land of Israel in 390 AD.  They allowed Jews to move back into the land of Israel, except for Jerusalem, and those Jews began to once again establish business connections with Jews to the east.  The land of Israel still produced enough agriculture products to sustain a fairly large population, so at least it was not a net food importer at this time.

The Byzantine Empire also created a booming "Holy Land" tourism business that partially replaced some of the income lost from the Temple pilgrimages.  Still, the economy of the land of Israel was no where near as wealthy as had been before Judaea was destroyed by the Romans.

Then the Arab Caliphates took control in 636 AD.  The Jews began evacuating the land of Israel to move to places like Khazaria, severely damaging trade. The "Holy Land" business also came to a grinding halt.

So in 691 AD, the Arab Caliphate built the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount during the Second Fitna, to bring an end to unrest caused by Arabs being radicalized after going to Mecca for the Haj.  This did not bring in near as much tourism from Arabs as had been hoped, so the Arab Caliphates went back to allowing Christians back into the Holy Land for pilgrimages.  This brought in much more business than the Dome of the Rock pilgrimages, but was still below that of the Byzantines.  They also eased up on the Jews to put end to the continual downward trend in trade that came from lost business relationships as Jews left the land of Israel.  Still, the economy was never near as good as it had been under the Byzantines.

Then around 1000 AD, there came a large increase in violence against the Christian pilgrims.  Needless to say, this really hurt the "Holy Land" tourism business and the economy went down further.

Finally, the Crusaders took control of the land of Israel in 1099 AD to restore the "Holy Land" business, killing virtually everyone they found, including Jews and other Christians.  This caused almost all of the remaining Jews to leave the land of Israel.  They did much more damage to the land of Israel with their scorched earth policy. So, the land of Israel became dependent upon the import of agricultural products in order for people to live there.  There was also the constant problem of continual warfare with the Arab Caliphates and Ayyubid Sultanate that pretty much blockaded trade from anywhere other than Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.

However, the Crusaders did manage to bring the "Holy Land" tourism business to new highs, even though they brought a complete end to the "Dome of the Rock" tourism business.  Still, the economy of the land of Israel never reached back to the levels that it had enjoyed under the Arab Caliphates.

Then the Ayyubid Sultanate filled the land with destruction when they invaded in 1187 AD.  This brought about an end to the "Holy Land" tourism business, but restored the "Dome of the Rock" tourism business.  It also brought an end to trade with Europe, which had became the main source of trade for the land Israel.  However, it did revive part of the trade with the east, the Arabs, and Egypt.  So the economy in the land of Israel reached even lower levels than it had experienced under the Crusaders.

Then the Mamluk Sultanate invaded in 1260 AD and engaged in a war of conquest that lasted for more than thirty years.  Needless to say, this disrupted the "Dome of the Rock" tourism business and trade.  It also increased the amount of net imports of the agricultural products into the land of Israel as this war devastated farms across the land.  Even after the conquest was over, the damage remained for centuries.  So the economy of the land of Israel became even worse than it had been under the care of the Ayyubid Sultanate.

When the Ottoman Empire took control of the land of Israel in 1517 AD, they found that the economy of the land of Israel was a constant drain on their own economy.

So they attempted to re-establish the "Holy Land" tourism business by allowing Christian religious professionals to operate various holy sites, mostly in Jerusalem.  They hoped that this would offset the downturn in the "Dome of the Rock" tourism business that resulted from their possession of Jerusalem.  They made immigration into the land of Israel more open to Sephardic Jews, especially Spanish Jews who sought to move there after being expelled from Spain in 1492.  They hoped that this Jews would turn the land of Israel into the center of trade among Jews throughout the world, so they could tax the profits.  They encourage Arabs to move in and become sharecroppers, known as "fellahs", while they retained ownership of the land of Israel.

Despite their best efforts, the economy of the land of Israel only grew worse.  They found it increasingly difficult to find fellahs willing to farm most of the land of Israel, since the farms often did not even produce enough to keep the family of a fellah fed.  The Christians in Europe had largely lost interest in "Holy Land" tours and were more interested in exploring the New World.  The Jews who moved into the land of Israel were often cut off from other Jews, and so were not able to create any business connections in the land of Israel.  They also were often retired, and came to live out their last days there.

In fact, the economy of the land of Israel became so bad, the Ottoman Empire could get almost no one to live there.  The land of Israel eventually became a 99% food importer, had virtually no trade, since it was bypassed by traders going to Arabia to connect to Egypt by ships, and almost no tourists for either the "Holy Land" or the "Dome of the Rock" tourist businesses.

The mostly Sephardic Jews who had been coming into the land of Israel, had only been able to remain there due to halukka sent by external Jewish groups.  Halukka was charitable gifts collected for the express purpose of maintaining a Jewish prescence in the land of Israel.  This halukka, and similar money sent to Christian and Muslim religious professionals, who maintained the various holy sites, became the sole positive economic active in the land of Israel.  In essence, the land of Israel had a negative GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for almost six hundred years.

However, the first seeds of economic improvement were planted by Christian Zionist missionaries after their arrival in 1840 AD.  Since most of their support came from England and the United States, the ships that brought them support were at the mercy of the weather.  There was also the unpredictability of donations, since their donors were subject to the economy of the nation that they lived in.

So perhaps out of necessity, they began creating small farms in the Galilee near streams and the Sea of Galilee that used modern irrigation techniques.  This allowed them to not be completely dependent upon charitable donations to remain in the land to continue their work.  These farms were the first real improvement in the agricultural business of the land of Israel in about 1200 years.

This was the state of the economy when Mark Twain visited Jerusalem in 1867 AD.

Then in 1870 AD, the Ashkenazi Jews began returning to the land of Israel.  Their inspiration to bring about Jewish economic self-dependence in the land of Israel was boosted by the limited success of the Christian Zionist missionaries in self-sustaining farms.  So that same year, Mikveh Israel was opened to teach arriving Ashkenazi Jews how to create self-sustaining farms throughout the land of Israel.  Then in 1881 AD, Hovevei Zion was established to teach arriving Ashkenazi Jews how to create self-sustaining farming communities.  The next year, Rishon LeZion was founded as the first such community.

These Ashkenazi Jews brought with them business connections as well.  Many of them had connections with prominent Jewish families, like the Rothschilds, who helped them establish trade with European and American businesses.  More importantly, they had an little known champion of their cause in America named William Blackstone.

In 1891 AD, William Blackstone presented a petition to the president of the United States for America to give support to the Ashkenazi Jews immigrating into the land of Israel called the Blackstone Memorial.  Prominent Christian Zionist business men like J. D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, Cyrus McCormick, and others were among those who signed this petition.

When the president refused to grant the request of the petition, these American business men began working with Jewish business men and Jewish organizations in America to help Ashkenazi Jews become economically self-sufficient in the land of Israel.  Christian Zionist business men in America were instrumental in helping Ashkenazi Jews in the land of Israel create a strong economy.  They helped these Ashkenazi Jews expand their trade to include not just Europe, but also America.  They also helped these Ashkenazi Jews create a new infrastructure in the land of Israel to expand trade into new markets with new exports beyond agricultural products.

Their efforts helped establish the first bank in the land of Israel in 1902 AD.  They also sought to give grants, lend loans, and make investments to help create industries in the land of Israel.

However, the Ottoman Empire soon made industrialization in the land of Israel almost impossible.  This empire began to put up roadblocks to expansion of the economy in the land of Israel.  The land of Israel was largely limited to having an agriculture based economy.

So, as new Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants moved in, the first kibbutz was established in 1909 AD, which brought about crops raised mainly for export.

Then the British gained control of the land of Israel in 1918 AD, and the industrial revolution came to the land of Israel.

In 1920 AD, Ashkenazi Jews began creating the first factories in the land of Israel.  They also created the first labor union in the land of Israel that same year.

In 1921 AD, new Mizrahi Jewish immigrants created the first Moshav for growing even more agricultural products for export.  Around this time, the agricultural sector of the economy grew so strong that the land of Israel became a net food exporter.  This growth was only diminished when the British Mandate in 1923 AD restricted how much land that new immigrants could buy from Arabs for farming.

So many of the Jews turned to living in cities and working in factories, which raised their earnings.  That same year, the first electric company was founded in Jaffa by an Ashkenazi Jew, Pinhas Rutenberg, with help from Winston Churchill, another Christian Zionist.  So in 1924 AD, the first trade fair was held in Tel-Aviv.  The economy in the land of Israel had gained a new segment - manufacturing.

The Great Depression did not stop this revolution.

In 1930 AD, Moshe Novomeyski, an Ashkenazi Jew, started mining potash from the Dead Sea, thanks to the help of Thomas Tulloch, who came from a long line of Christian Zionists.  This was the first known mining operation in the land of Israel since before the Roman Empire.  The mining segment of the economy was back from the dead.

The first textile plant in the land of Israel was established in 1934 AD. This soon lead to more than eighty other factories in the textile industry developing within three years time.

In 1935 AD, the first stock exchange began operations.  In 1937 AD, the first commercial airline began regular flights.  The financial and services segments of the economy were growing as well.

Then the nation of Israel was born again in 1948 AD, and all of the foreign restrictions on economic growth were lifted.  By this time, Israel had shifted from an agriculture based economy to a manufacturing based economy, with more than 250 Jewish owned factories operating in the land of Israel.

When the nation of Israel regained control of the city of Jerusalem in 1967 AD, they were finally able to revive the "Holy Land" tourism business by providing a safer environment for tourists.  They were also able to facilitate significant growth in the "Dome of the Rock" tourism business through a policy of religious tolerance.  Finally, they were able to grow a new "Diaspora" tourism business that targeted Jews living in the Diaspora.

The nation of Israel then signed a peace treaty with Egypt in 1978 AD, and revitalized trade with Africa through Egypt for the first time since 1882 AD.  Israel also signed a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994 AD, that reopened trade with much of the east again.

Today, the economy of Israel is one of the twenty strongest in the world.  It is ranked as the most durable economy in the world.  It has a standard of living on par with countries like Australia.  It has achieved the "Very Highly Developed" status, the highest status available, in the UN Human Development Index, and is the only country in the Middle East to have reached this status.  It is also the only country entirely in the Middle East that is a member of the OECD.  It has signed free trade agreements with every country in Europe, and North America, along with Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey.

Israel fills the markets of the world with its agricultural products.  It is the worlds largest exporter of cut diamonds.  It is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. It is a supplier to most major retailers in America.

Israel has one of the most robust real estate markets on Earth.  It has one of the strongest financial sectors on Earth.  It is also a world leader in the medical sector and in pharmaceuticals.  It is a top exporter of military equipment.  It has a promising future in alternative energy sources.  It ranks first in supply of skilled labor.
 
Israel has progressed to a technology based service economy from a manufacturing based economy, like the United States.  It has the second most innovative economy in the world.  It has the second most prosperous Information Technology hub in the world, the Silicon Wadi, that is second only to the Silicon Valley of the United States.  Intel, Apple, Microsoft, and Google all have major research centers in Israel.  It is number one in the world for research and development investments.  It is also second only to the US in venture capital for technology investments.

The TASE (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange) has had the third highest number of Initial Public Offerings (IPO).  Israel is the foreign country with the second highest prescence in the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange).  It is the number one foreign investment country for US billionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump.

The economy of Israel has been taken off life support and returned as one of the strongest economies in the world.

The impossible has happened.

How could have all of this happened?

This is the work of the Greatest Zionist.

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has caused the economy of Israel to grow strong after about 1800 years of decline (Isaiah 60:17).  He has caused Israel to become so wealthy that the nations around it will invade Israel to gain that wealth (Ezekiel 38:8-13).

The Father of Truth has been causing the Jews to have plenty in the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 30:9).  He has been bringing the Jews into a wealthy place after their years of affliction living among the Gentiles (Psalm 66:10-12).  He has caused the wealth that the Jews created while they were scattered among the Gentiles to return to the land of Israel with them (Isaiah 60:8-9).

The Father of Truth has been causing the agricultural segment of the economy to increase again (Psalm 85:12).

The Father of Truth has been creating a robust real estate market in a land where nobody wanted to live in (Jeremiah 32:44).  He has been causing prosperity to return to the land of Israel (Jeremiah 33:7-9).  He has been bringing prosperity to the land of Israel so the Jews could rebuild their ancient cities (Zechariah 1:17).  He has been bringing prosperity to the land of Israel, so the Jews can live there (Zechariah 8:11-15).

The Father of Truth does not just want to make the impossible happen concerning the prosperity of Israel, but He wants to make the impossible happen concerning your prosperity.  He wants you to come into the House of Truth, and learn to be prosperous.

Like the economy of Israel, the Father of Truth wants you to learn how to keep His commandments so you can prosper (Deuteronomy 29:9).  He wants you to learn how to carry out the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) in the way He intended, so you can have good success in everything (Joshua 1:7-8).  He wants you to walk in all of His ways, so you can prosper in everything that you do (1 Kings 2:3).  Doing what He commands is the key to prosperity (1 Chronicles 22:13).

Like the economy of Israel, the Father of Truth wants you to ask Him for advice, so you can prosper (Judges 18:5).  He wants you to believe what He has spoken through the Prophets, so you can prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20).  He wants you to delight in keeping His commandments, so you can prosper (Psalm 1:1-3).  He wants you to seek Him for the peace of Jerusalem, so you can prosper (Psalm 122:6-8).

Like the economy of Israel, the Father of Truth is delighted to prosper those who serve Him (Psalm 35:27).  He wants you to come into the House of Truth and prosper (3 John 1:2-4).

Like the economy of Israel, the Father of Truth gives those who come into the House of Truth the power to gain wealth, so His covenant can be established in the Earth (Deuteronomy 8:18).  He wants to teach you how to profit (Isaiah 48:17).  He alone can cause you to gain a profit every time (James 4:13-15).

Like the Apostles of Truth, the Father of Truth wants you to have something better than silver or gold, so His covenant can be established in the Earth (Acts 3:6-26).  The Father of Truth gave something much greater than silver or gold - the precious blood of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) - so you could come into the House of Truth (1 Peter 1:18-19).

The Man of Truth became poor so you could become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).  He is the means for you to come into the House of Truth, so the Father of Truth can take care of your every need (Philippians 4:19).

The Father of Truth does not mind you having riches as long as you put your trust in Him, instead of your riches (1 Timothy 6:17)  He wants you to come into the House of Truth to have true riches, and not just temporary riches that you will one day either lose or leave behind (Revelation 3:17-19)..  

For it is impossible for those who put their trust in riches to come into the House of Truth (Mark 10:23-25).  So, the Father of Truth does not want riches to deceive you from remaining in the House of Truth (Matthew 13:22).  Loving money will cause you to leave the House of Truth (1 Timothy 6:10).

What good would it do you to be the richest person on Earth, if you lose your life in the Chamber of Horrors for eternity (Matthew 16:26)?

So, you only need to be rich enough to carry out will of the Father of Truth for your life (Proverbs 30:7-9).  This is true prosperity (1 Timothy 6:6-8).

You come into the House of Truth by putting the Man of Truth in charge of everything in your life, including your money, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised Him from the dead, to experience true prosperity (Romans 10:9).  You will never be deceived into leaving the House of Truth, if you will put your trust in the Father of Truth, because He raised the Man of Truth from the dead (1 Peter 1:20-21).  The Father of Truth has unspeakable riches stored up for those who remain in the House of Truth (Revelation 21:18-27).

Come into the House of Truth!
