Christian Zionism, as an Edomite distortion, must be recognized for what it truly is: not a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, but a distortion of the Jewish people’s role as the oracle keepers (Romans 3:2).
While Christian Zionism claims to support Israel, it bypasses the millennia-old tradition of Rabbinic Judaism, which has preserved the covenantal structure through halakhah, memory, and sacred time. It treats prophecy like a real estate deed, disregarding the voices of sages, prophets, and the Messiah himself.
But let us be honest: Rabbinic Judaism is not immune to critique. At times, it has hidden Jesus of Nazareth, distorted his image, or responded polemically out of trauma, fear, and betrayal. This too is interpretive neglect. Yet even this was not outside God’s sovereign design.
Torat Edom affirms that God’s sovereignty includes silence, exile, and even misunderstanding. He allowed the name of Yeshua to be veiled because the time of the nations had not yet been fulfilled. But the veiling was not abandonment—it was preservation, even in judgment.
While Rabbinic Judaism missed the Messiah, it preserved the framework of covenantal fidelity. And while the Church distorted the covenant, it carried the gospel seed to the nations. Both are wounded. Both are guilty. But both are still held by the God who keeps His promises.
Christian Zionism fails because it pretends the wound isn’t real—and worse, weaponizes one side of the story. Torat Edom calls both traditions to repentance and reunion.
In Torat Edom, we name this distortion for what it is: Edom pretending to be Jacob—using biblical vocabulary to exalt power, conquest, and nationalism over repentance, justice, and covenantal obedience. It hijacks the Jewish story while refusing to submit to the Jewish God.
Christian Zionism is not rooted in the Church Fathers—who themselves often veered into replacement theology—but in modernity, dispensationalism, and imperial ambition. Its theological roots lie in John Nelson Darby and were systematized through the Scofield Reference Bible. Neither honored Jewish halakhah or upheld the covenantal logic of Torah.
Even the modern State of Israel, under its Law of Return, denies aliyah to Jewish believers in Yeshua—and would have denied it to Yeshua himself. If this is the fulfillment of prophecy, then we have profoundly misread the God of Israel.
True regathering, as envisioned in Isaiah 11 and 19, is about the remnant—the humble, the exiled, those purified and reunited in Messiah. It includes Egypt, Assyria, and Israel—not through geopolitics, but through covenantal reconciliation.
Christian Zionism is not covenantal solidarity. It is Esau attempting to reclaim the birthright—with someone else’s blood.
