[instrumental music] J.D. Hall, thank you for joining us. I think you're one of the clearest writers on the internet, so it's an honor to have you here. Um, I've been trying to figure out for several years, you write on theology on Substack- Yep ... and other places, and very clearly, I just wanna say, clarity being the goal of expository writing. You, you achieve that.
J.D. Hall· Guest0:21
Right.
Tucker Carlson· Host0:21
Few do. I've been trying for the last several years to figure out what Christian Zionism is, not because I have an, an inherent interest, but because it's affected the shape of the world, and a lot of people have died because of it.
J.D. Hall· Guest0:35
Yeah.
Tucker Carlson· Host0:35
And it has real-world consequences that we can, we're living through right now. What is Christian Zionism? Where does it come from? Is it Christian? What's your assessment?
J.D. Hall· Guest0:45
Well, if you listen to people online, every Christian is a Zionist, just naturally, right?
Tucker Carlson· Host0:52
Yes.
J.D. Hall· Guest0:52
So the proponents of it will tell you that it is the de facto position on Israel, and it always has been for Christians, uh, to believe in the establishment and support and protection of a Jewish ethno-state- Yes ... uh, in Palestine. Um, Christian Zionism- What's said...
Tucker Carlson· Host1:13
Doesn't it say in the Bible that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who don't will be cursed?
J.D. Hall· Guest1:18
Yeah, yeah. And I'm, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you've had probably about 1,000 different people tell you that. That's something that we hear every single day as Christians.
Tucker Carlson· Host1:28
I couldn't find it. I got my concordance out.
