The following is an excerpt taken from the opening chapter of my new major study of Zionism, Revelation, and the deception of the churches, called RIDING THE BEAST: ISRAEL AND AMERICA’S PARTNERSHIP IN PROPHECY.
Thanks for reading The Winter Christian! This post is public so feel free to share it.
No less than seven verses in the Old Testament tell us that God placed His Name in Jerusalem, and in some cases it specifies eternally. This makes it the most important and unique city in the world, especially for prophecy:
(2 Chronicles 6:6) “But now I have chosen Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule My people Israel.”
(2 Chronicles 7:16) “For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that My Name may be there forever.”
(2 Chronicles 33:4) “In Jerusalem shall My Name be forever.”
(2 Chronicles 33:7) “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put My Name forever.”
(1 Kings 11:36) “That My servant David may have a lamp always before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My Name.”
(1 Kings 9:3) “I have consecrated this house that you have built, by putting My Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.”
(2 Kings 21:7) “In Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put My Name forever.”
The idea of placing your “name” somewhere did not just mean claiming it to be one of your properties (the whole universe belongs to God), but identifying it as a special place where you belong, imbuing it with your presence and essence, or at least reserving it as a place of residence. This is why Jerusalem’s temple was known as the “house” of the Lord, where His glory could reveal itself. Unlike heathen gods who were believed to be contained within, or at least bound to, a specific location like a mountain, a river, or temple, the God of the Hebrews transcended space and time (as in 1 Kings 8:27: “the heavens cannot contain You”) while still choosing this one area to be hallowed, sanctified, and set apart for His own special use.
Jerusalem is situated in a wider land that was once occupied by the Canaanite tribes. God promised this entire land to Abraham’s offspring.1 It stretched from the Nile River to the Euphrates:
(Genesis 15:18) When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses. On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I have given this land—from the river of Egypt [the Nile] to the great river Euphrates—
Abraham was not chosen entirely randomly. He was 10th generation from Shem, who was blessed by his father Noah to dominate the people of Canaan. Thus, Abraham’s descendants were, at least in part, promised the land specifically to displace and dispossess the Canaanite people who lived there. Canaan was cursed by his grandfather Noah because Canaan’s father, Ham, had gazed at Noah sleeping naked (Genesis 9:20-27). As a result, all eleven tribal groups (Genesis 10:15-19) who descended from Canaan were doomed to lose what they owned at the hands of the “Semites” (the people from Shem).2
It is no coincidence that “Shem” in Hebrew literally means “Name”. This is why the Semites are called the People of the Name. When God says that He will put his Name (Shem) in Jerusalem, it has a double-meaning of making it His home, but also the home of Shem’s descendants.
God’s promise to Abraham’s “offspring” is eternal:
(Genesis 17:7-8) “I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you, and your offspring after you, to be your God and the God of your offspring after you. And to you and your offspring I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession, and I will be their God.”
It should be unnecessary to point out all the ways that God “worked together” strange events to make His plans come to fruition. Most of the Old Testament is a testament to this tricky partnership. Even at the start, Abraham’s faith was put to the test for decades as he waited for the promised son, Isaac, to be born. While waiting for this, as the covenant was still fresh, God gave Abraham a terrifying dream, where he was told that his people would be enslaved for four hundred years:
(Genesis 15:13-14) Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.”
It’s counter-intuitive, to say the least: why create wonderful promises only to subvert it with centuries of suffering? Or for that matter, why promise to give Abraham an heir only to make him wait until he and his wife are so old that they ought to be barren and unable to reproduce, and then further test him by seeing whether he would be willing to murder his own son in a ritual sacrifice (Genesis 22)? And why implement circumcision as the sign of their covenant, with a threat to disown anyone who is not circumcised? Abraham was circumcised when he was 99 years old, and later Moses would be nearly murdered by God personally because he neglected to circumcise his son (Exodus 4:25). The likely answer is that God wanted to make sure the people He blessed appreciated His blessings by withholding it from them, testing their faith. But as Christians we can see much greater foreshadowing in the details. The weird thing is that what was being foreshadowed turned out to be even more controversial and shocking: the Messiah being a humble preacher who did not overthrow Rome, but instead suffered and died after being rejected by his people. We’re still waiting, 2,000 years later, for the fulfillment of the great and glorious part of those ancient promises to come true.
God clearly favors coordinating weird and scandalous events in order to achieve His purposes, especially when it comes to His plans for Jerusalem and the eternal Kingdom. Therefore we should never expect Him to take the easy route. God hates the obvious path. He does not seek to make people happy, but to demonstrate His sovereignty. We could say that He likes controversy, as He calls Himself a “stone of stumbling” which many will stumble over (Isaiah 8:14–15). In this same passage, God says that He hides His face from the house of Jacob, meaning the Israelites. We know from the New Testament that Jesus performed the same function, becoming a stumbling block and a source of confusion for people. Paul went as far as to say (in 1 Corinthians 1:18) that preaching the cross was “foolishness” to the world, but yet it is God’s choice for how to filter out those who lack faith.
As we delve deep into madness and immorality of the satanic empire of the world and the Zionists who have been adopted by them, it is worth keeping in mind that God could have done all of this differently, but He has chosen to be scandalous. It is up to us to reckon with the often uncomfortable methods He chooses.
Zionists are correct to say that God’s covenant with Abraham was unconditional and one-sided. This meant that God (or His delegated elohim) would handle all of the dirty work while Abraham and his children were not required to do anything on their part; other than performing circumcision as a reminder of this inter-generational contract, that is. The promises given to Abraham were unconditionally inherited by Isaac and then Jacob, who was later renamed “Israel”. Therefore, Israel (that is, the man and his children, who would become the twelve tribes) were promised the land unconditionally in some sense. But what most Christians don’t realize is that, by the time God led the Israelites out of Egypt to collect on that promise (400 years later), there were now terms and conditions for that particular group of people and their descendants. You see, the Israelites were more like potential candidates for receiving the promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The conditional nature of God’s covenant with the Israelite refugees was clear from the start:
(Exodus 19:4-6) “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. And now, if you will diligently listen to me and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession out of all the nations; for all the earth is mine, and you will be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
As we know, this condition was never fulfilled.3 By the time Moses retrieved the commandments from Mount Sinai, the people were already worshiping a golden calf idol fashioned by his own brother Aaron, who was supposed to be their priest. God was so angry about this that He told Moses to abandon the people so they could be collectively destroyed:
(Exodus 19:10) “So now, leave me alone so that my anger can burn against them, and I shall destroy them and make from you a great nation.”
In other words, there was nothing indispensable about these twelve tribes. God immediately switched to a Plan B in which He kills them all, and Moses alone becomes the progenitor of the “great nation.” This shows how flexible God’s plan was, and how little He really cared about those particular people. Moses pleaded with God to spare the people for the sake of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to avoid God’s name becoming a mockery among the nations, but the point was already established: they could be replaced without nullifying the older promises.
But their expendability is seen everywhere. Their relationship to the “promised land” was always as tenants in God’s land, not owners themselves. God was the landlord (literally the Lord of the land) and they were more like renters who had to keep obeying the rules in order to be granted an extension of their contract. This is how landlords still function today. Look no further than Leviticus 25:
(Leviticus 25:23) “The [parcel of] land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for you are foreigners and residents with me.”
This is repeated by later prophets, but it was established right at the beginning. The land belonged to God, and they were under constant threat of eviction if they did not obey Him. In fact, God frames their eviction as the land itself vomiting them out, just as it did the Canaanites before them:
(Leviticus 18:28) “So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it, just as it vomited out the nations that were before you.”
[END OF EXCERPT. Chapter 1 continues from here.]
Zionism is an extreme distortion of the biblical promises to Israel. The land of Canaan—the disputed lands of Palestine and Israel today—were not promised unconditionally. God acted as the landlord, and the Israelites were simply the tenants who were allowed to live there so long as they obeyed His laws.
Once we understand the satanic inversion of Zionist theology, its unprecedented support by the United States of America also takes on a new significance. This was never a union of “Judeo-Christian” nations trying to fight for liberty and godly values, but something ominous and decptive.
This book unpacks how God Himself cursed Israel in ancient times by spiritually blinding them, then exiled them to Babylon. Even after they were allowed to return to Jerusalem, this curse was never lifted. God has forced the Jews to live under the “beast” empires ever since, and the final Beast of Revelation has developed a strange and dysfunctional fascination with them.

Thank you for your ongoing support and prayers. I will continue to dig into major questions of theology, prophecy, and the conspiracy to mislead Christianity.
The Apostle Paul references Genesis 12:7 and 13:15 when he says, in Galatians 3:16, that: The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
Shem himself lived long enough (600 years) that Abraham could have known him personally for 149 years, although there is no evidence of this in scripture.
That is, not until Jesus Christ was deemed to have fulfilled the entirety of the covenant by himself, and thus inherited all of the promises personally.
