And the major manifestation of that in the modern world is what we call Christian Zionism.
Yeah, this is the new breed of Christian Zionism that has really grown up in the last 30 years or so.
The major person that we have to talk about would be Paula White King, Donald Trump's closest religious advisor, an independent charismatic televangelist, and megachurch pastor.
There's a kind of infamous video.
of Paula White-Cain on her televangelism show having a Messianic rabbi, a rabbi who identifies as Jewish but is also a Christian, wrapping Paula White-Cain in a giant Torah scroll.
And whatever
Because of the position that Paula White Kane has been in as Trump's foremost religious advisor, as the gatekeeper of the White House faith office, she has stacked Donald Trump's evangelical advisors with people that I don't know another way to describe them other than to call them Christian Zionist extremists.
In the sense that they are far outside the standard distribution even of Christian Zionism in American evangelicalism.
I would not call Pete Hegseth a Christian Zionist.
What Pete Hegseth lacks in theological love for the state of Israel, he more than makes up in theological hatred for Muslims.
Pegseth embraces more of this idea of Christian power and Christian warfare, the idea of crusades.
He wrote an entire book titled American Crusade.
I don't think that he is invested in the state of Israel per se, because that's not the strand of theology he comes from.
Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly are Catholic.
American Catholics make up like 20% of the population.
It's a diverse spectrum.
But within that, there is this faction that has these more traditionalist sensibilities and that often accompanies indulging in anti-Semitism.
Christian Zionism is basically a Protestant fixation.
Certainly, there are Catholics like Joe Biden who are Zionists, who support Israel for geopolitical or personal or friendship reasons, but it's not theological.
In the teachings of the Catholic Church, there just isn't really a role for Israel to play.
