Hebrews 12:22

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,”
King James Version (KJV)

BACKGROUND:

Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D

https://x.com/RecTheRegime

Professor and Founder of AZAPAC asked for good books on Christian Zionism. Preferably both scholarly and based--a rather tough combination. He then clarified to mean historical.

I noticed several were giving the same worn out recent narrative of Darby and the Scofield Bible. I was inspired to go back through my Blogs and compile this study for Dr. Rectenwald. I recommend anyone who is on X to follow Dr. Rectenwald and support AZAPAC. I have spoken with hi and listened to him speak in X Spaces several times. He is extremely knowledgeable and loves America and is speaking out against this terrible scourge of Zionism that is plaguing our national and talking away our Rights daily.

As I was preparing this Blog I saw this recent post by the CEO of Tic Toc making AntiZionism HATE Speech.

https://x.com/AndrewTHTravel/status/2015265440415810046?s=20

I was especially encouraged by Dr. Rectenwald's choice of word, "BASED" and the realization of how challenging this is based on the controlled narrative of literature today.
For those not understanding the word, "based" it is internet slang meaning unapologetically truthful, grounded in reality, or boldly contrarian (express opinions that contradict the majority, prevailing ideas) —often implying a red-pilled (WOKE - conspiratory) perspective that challenges mainstream or politically correct narratives.

@RecTheRegime

For a scholarly yet based take on Christian Zionism's history, I offer and ask the Dr. to consider viewing this through a biblical lens because the word ZION is mentioned emphatically in the King James Bible 152 times.

This blog argues that the based Biblical history of Zionism goes far back in history that ironically opposes "true Jews" (anti-Zionist Orthodox) and hijacks spiritual Israel, citing Holocaust-era evidence Zionist prioritization over religious rescues—backed by historian quotes and KJV passages like Ephesians 2:11-22 and Romans 11. It emphasizes the Church's mystery revealed to Paul, where believers (Jew and Gentile) are fellow heirs without partitions, not a physical or esoteric focus.
In a religious comparison, both Judaizers and modern Zionists are presented as emphasizing physical lineage and the restoration of Old Testament legal or national frameworks over spiritual grace.

Probably the two most comprehensive Blog studies that cover this in detail proving the connection beyond doubt are Love - To know Jesus’ Christ true Lineage and the Householder and Husbandman:

I have a few book recommendations to provide history back over 2,000 years where this Zionism began. However, this Blog is the BASED source that goes beyond secular and theological history that is frankly heavily influenced by the Zionists and Jesuits.

We will find biblically the KJV defends Dispensationalism and exposes Scofield's influence as a "damnable heresy" perpetuating a corrupted doctrine.

Also other strong Anti Zionist Christian scholars like Rick Wiles and Chuck Baldwin are severely lacking in other major doctrine.

Rick Wiles The Reprobate gets some parts. He doesn't understand.

I’ve had Rick Wiles on my Radar for over 12 years now. He is like a prosecuting attorney bringing evidence to the jury that shows partial truth yet leaves out the major details thus producing an elaborate STRAW MAN that distorts the truth. It is the parable of a little leaven in Matthew 13.

The traditional answer to the identity of the opponents of Paul is that they are Jewish Christians that desire to impose the law on Gentile converts – Judaizers.

The term appears in the New Testament only in Gal 2:14 (although a form appears in but is found in a number of secular sources (Plutarch, Cicero 7:6; Josephus JW 2.17.10; Ignatius, Magn 10.3) with the basic meaning of “to live as a Jew in accordance with Jewish customs

If Anyone is preaching another Gospel than what Paul is given they stand Cursed by God. Galatians 1:8 and rare Paul repeats the curse in verse 9. KJV.

Here is an example of how severe this GOSPEL - part of the Mystery that Jesus Christ gave to Paul. Excerpt from Long's book "Freedom through God's Grace" page 15:

Quote:

"Galatians these are not Christian friends with a slightly different opinion on some minor theological point. The agitators are outside the umbrella of what it means to be Christian and the gospel they preach is not Paul’s gospel at all. They are troublemakers who pervert the gospel so it is no longer the gospel Paul first delivered to Galatia. But the Galatians are not changing from one theological group to another; they are defecting from the one who called them. To follow the teaching of the Judaizers is to abandon God himself! Paul states very clearly there is only one gospel and this gospel is the one he has already preached to the churches in Galatia. Paul is saying he has authority to say what the gospel is, or is not. The gospel he preached is the gospel and what the opponents are preaching is “not a gospel.” They do not preach a legitimate variation on Paul’s preaching nor are the agitators simply using a different method. Paul says they simply have understood the gospel wrong! Let Him Be Accursed! Paul is so committed to his gospel he pronounces a curse upon anyone who preaches a different gospel, including Paul himself! He makes a sweeping statement in verse 8: “Even if an angel preaches another gospel, do not believe it!” It is not the messenger that matters, but the content of the gospel they are preaching. If Paul himself were to return to Galatia and declare the Gentiles needed to keep the law, the churches should not listen to him. That Paul should mention “an angel of the Lord” is important. Later in the letter Paul alludes to a Jewish tradition concerning the law given to Moses through the mediation of angels (Gal 3:19). If this tradition is in Paul’s mind here, he claims that even if a new revelation were to be given in the same way Moses received the law but it contradicts his gospel, it must be rejected. There is another hint about Barnabas being missing from the introduction. Paul says it does not matter who preaches the gospel. If anyone does not agree with the gospel Paul preached, they ought to be rejected, even if that person is someone as significant as Barnabas! It is possible Paul’s opponents made something out of the fact Barnabas separated from table fellowship, perhaps claiming Barnabas was siding with them. But for Paul it does not matter who sides with him (or against him); his authority comes from directly from Jesus Christ. To pronounce a curse is to say “let God’s curse rest upon them.” The idea of a “curse” in the Hebrew Bible is to place someone under “the ban.” For example, in Joshua 6:17–18 the city of Jericho is under the ban, meaning the city was set aside for destruction. Paul is not cursing his opponents; he is asking God to deal with them severely. This curse is not a generic censure or a request for the opponents to leave the church. Paul is asking for God to judge them severely for preaching another gospel. End Quote.

On Page 29 Long summarizes the COUNCIL of Jerusalem.

I have discussed this in my blog links below and to summarize

Confrontation at Antioch

The "Incident at Antioch" occurred when the Apostle Peter (Cephas) visited the church in Antioch. Initially, Peter followed the gospel of grace by eating and fellowshiping freely with Gentile believers. However, when a group from James arrived (the "circumcision party"), Peter withdrew from the Gentiles for fear of the Jewish leaders. Paul confronted Peter "to his face" before the whole congregation, rebuking his hypocrisy for living like a Gentile yet forcing Gentiles to follow Jewish customs, thereby compromising the "truth of the gospel" (Galatians 2:11-14 KJV).

Council of Jerusalem

Following the tension at Antioch, the Council of Jerusalem (c. 50 AD) was convened to resolve whether Gentile converts must be circumcised and follow Mosaic Law.

Apostolic Decree: After much debate, Peter testified that God had already accepted the Gentiles by faith (Acts 15:7-11).
Decision: James and the elders sided with Paul, ruling that Gentiles were not bound by Jewish ceremonial laws, requiring only that they abstain from pollutions of idols, fornication, things strangled, and blood (Acts 15:19-20).
Vetting and Confirmation of Paul

Paul’s authenticity was confirmed through several key events:

Vouching by Barnabas: After his conversion, Barnabas brought Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem, testifying to his encounter with Christ and his bold preaching.
Right Hands of Fellowship: During his visit to Jerusalem, the "pillars" (James, Cephas, and John) recognized the grace given to Paul and gave him and Barnabas the "right hands of fellowship," confirming Paul’s specific mission to the Gentiles (Galatians 2:9 KJV).
Divine Confirmation: Paul’s ministry was vindicated by signs, miracles, and the widespread conversion of Gentiles, which the Jerusalem leadership accepted as God’s "effectual working" through him.
Peter’s Warning in 2 Peter 3

In his final letter, Peter formally endorses Paul’s writings, referring to him as "our beloved brother Paul" (2 Peter 3:15 KJV).

Warning of Destruction: Peter notes that Paul’s letters contain things "hard to be understood" which the "unlearned and unstable wrest... unto their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:16 KJV).

The "Accursed" Connection: While Peter warns of "destruction" for those who distort Paul's letters, Paul himself famously declared in Galatians 1:8-9 that if anyone—including himself or an angel—preaches any other gospel than the one he delivered, "let him be accursed" (anathema). Peter’s late endorsement effectively seals this by elevating Paul’s letters to the status of "the rest of the scriptures.

And of course the Zionists - modern day Judaizers want to dismiss the council of Jerusalem:

True Zion isn't a political invention—it's heavenly, established by the Messiah alone. Hebrews 12:22 KJV exposes the ancient deception behind Zionism. #BiblicalTruth #MillennialKingdom

Why I consider the Book of Hebrews written by Paul the SHOCK and AWE of the Judaizers and early Church: Jesus is God and the Only God debunking the Trinity and the Church is GRAFTED into the MISSING BRANCH of the Olive Tree.

https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2023/08/the-shock-and-awe-of-paul-in-book-of.html

The history of Zionism, often misattributed to 17th- and 18th-century Enlightenment nationalism, must instead be traced to antiquity through the Seal of Solomon, the Babylonian Talmud's mysticism, sectarian divisions like the Pharisees and Essenes, the Herodian dynasty, Judaizers' influence on the early church, and secret societies such as the Knights Templar—The Jesuits - Vatican and Mainstream Evangelical Zionism revealing it as a Satanic hijacking of biblical Israel; true Zion, as Scripture's 150+ references affirm, is the eternal heavenly dwelling of God, fully realized only in the Millennial Kingdom by the Messiah's sovereign hand, not human endeavor.

The word Zionism obviously comes from the root word ZION. When one objectively reads all 150 KJV scriptures regarding ZION - one will hopefully understand why Zionism must be viewed from a KJV Biblical understanding

Why from a KJV Bible and not "Bible" perspective.

See detailed exhaustive studies on why KJV Only which by no coincidence also entails the Gospel and Mystery twisted by modern Bible Translations:

https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2025/11/again-let-us-examine-ourselves.html

Prologue:
Unveiling the Ancient Roots of ZionismZionism is often confined to the 7th and 18th centuries—a movement born from Enlightenment ideals, secular nationalism, and the stirrings of European Jewish emancipation.

Historians and commentators frequently point to figures like Theodor Herzl or the Balfour Declaration as its genesis, framing it as a political response to anti-Semitism and diaspora. Yet, this narrative is ridiculously incomplete, a surface-level veneer that obscures the profound, two thousand plus years of spiritual, mystical, and conspiratorial forces at play. Hence the very work of Satan himself in accordance with 2 Corinthians 4:4 KJV. He is the "god" of this world and has absolute control of all Political, Economical, and Religious Systems.
To truly comprehend Zionism—not as a mere ideology or political movement, but as a common ongoing thread woven through human history—one must look far deeper into antiquity, guided by the testimonies of ancient historians such as Justin Martyr, Flavius Josephus, and others who wrote about it and point out the power struggles and rebellion. This is matched perfectly in scripture.

Zionism begins with the Seal of Solomon, that enigmatic emblem of esoteric wisdom and occult authority, symbolizing the king's legendary command over demons and the hidden realms.

This connection to the SEAL of Solomon and the Star of Remphan is abundantly clear:

https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2025/07/corollary-to-king-solomon-type-of.html

Reading the story of Stephen makes this very clear:
https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2023/11/the-powerful-analysis-of-stephens.html

This talisman echoes the fall of the First Temple in 586 BCE, when Jerusalem's destruction by Babylonian forces shattered the Davidic kingdom and scattered the Jewish people into exile. From this cataclysm emerged the Babylonian Talmud, a compendium of rabbinic teachings compiled between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE, which infused Judaism with layers of interpretive mysticism—Kabbalah's precursors—that veered from the Torah's plain meaning toward allegorical depths and secret knowledge.
These mystical traditions, emphasizing gnosis and hierarchical enlightenment, set the stage for a Judaism intertwined with hidden agendas, influencing everything from medieval alchemists to modern esoteric orders.
Fast-forward to the Hellenistic era, where the Maccabean Revolt (167–160 BCE) against Seleucid oppression marked a fierce assertion of Jewish independence, yet sowed seeds of internal division. The Hasmonean dynasty that followed blended priestly zeal with political ambition, foreshadowing the Herodian dynasty under Herod the Great (37–4 BCE), a regime of Roman-backed tyrants who masqueraded as defenders of the faith while erecting grand temples and forging alliances with imperial powers. Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, chronicles this era in The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews, revealing a Judaism fractured by sects: the Pharisees, with their oral traditions and legalistic rigor; the Essenes, a ascetic community of mystics and scribes who withdrew to desert enclaves like Qumran, preserving apocalyptic texts and esoteric scrolls that foreshadowed Kabbalistic secrecy and messianic fervor, potentially influencing early Christian monasticism and later Zionist visions of a purified, restored Israel; all clashing against prophetic voices and emerging messianic hopes. In the Roman Empire, Judaism adapted and endured, but not without syncretism—absorbing elements of Greco-Roman philosophy that further mystified its core tenets.

This ancient demonic doctrine - doctrine of demons as per 1 Timothy 4:1 KJV spilled into the early Christian era, where the Pharisees' descendants, the Judaizers, infiltrated nascent churches, insisting on circumcision and Mosaic law as prerequisites for salvation.
Justin Martyr, in his Dialogue with Trypho (circa 160 CE), decries these influencers as distorters of the Gospel, perpetuating divisions that Paul the Apostle vehemently opposed in Galatians and Romans.
Their legacy echoes in tragic episodes like the martyrdom of Polycarp of Smyrna in 155 CE, where anti-Christian fervor, fueled by Judaizing elements and Roman authorities, led to his burning at the stake—a stark reminder of how mystical legalism could ally with worldly power to suppress the "mystery of Christ" (Ephesians 3:4-6 KJV), uniting Jew and Gentile through faith alone.

Nor can we overlook the veiled networks that preserved and propagated these influences: hidden mystics and secret societies, such as the Knights Templar, founded in 1119 CE during the Crusades. Ostensibly protectors of pilgrims, they delved into Solomonic lore, Kabbalistic secrets, and Temple treasures, forging links between medieval esotericism and later Masonic orders. These groups, shrouded in symbolism and ritual, carried forward the Seal's legacy, blending Jewish mysticism with Christian heresy and pagan elements, ultimately feeding into the Enlightenment's shadowy underbelly.
Today, this ancient lineage manifests in entities like the Church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13 KJV), a biblical archetype for faithful remnants who hold the "key of David" against deceptions.
As outlined in the accompanying essential background blog links, Zionism's modern facade—exemplified by historical betrayals like the Jewish Agency's wartime prioritization of Zionist allies over anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews—reveals a "Satanic hijacking" of biblical Israel. True Israel, as Paul reveals, is spiritual: believers grafted into the olive tree (Romans 11:17-24 KJV), not a geopolitical construct veiled in mysticism.

Exactly What is Zionism

and why am I connecting it to Judaizers of Paul's time?

In a religious comparison, both Judaizers and modern Zionists are presented as emphasizing physical lineage and the restoration of Old Testament legal or national frameworks over spiritual grace.

Judaizers (from Greek Ioudaizein, "to live as Jews") were early Jewish Christians who insisted that Gentile converts must adopt Jewish customs—especially circumcision and Mosaic Law observance—to be fully saved and included in God's covenant people.
They emphasized separating bloodlines, viewing true covenant membership as tied to Abraham's physical descendants (bloodline purity) and requiring Gentiles to effectively become proselytes (adopt Jewish identity and practices) rather than allowing direct inclusion by faith alone. This created a barrier between Jewish believers and Gentiles, opposing the gospel's message of unity in Christ without ethnic distinction.
Key KJV Scriptures:

Galatians 2:14 (KJV): "...why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" (Judaize, enforcing separation via customs).
Acts 15:1, 5 (KJV): "Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved... That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."
Galatians 2:12 (KJV): Peter "drew back and separated himself" fearing "them which were of the circumcision" (the Judaizing party enforcing separation).

Paul opposed this, teaching faith alone unites Jew and Gentile as Abraham's true children (Galatians 3:7-9 KJV; Romans 2:28-29 KJV), breaking down bloodline-based barriers (Ephesians 2:14-16 KJV, though not directly naming Judaizers).

Zionism derives directly from Zion (also spelled Sion or Syon in various translations and historical texts). The term "Zion" originates in Scripture and carries profound biblical significance, far beyond a mere geographical location.

Biblical Meaning of Zion
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED, p. 3870), Zion refers to "A Hill in Jerusalem known as the city of David." This identifies it historically as the fortified hill in Jerusalem that King David captured and made his capital (2 Samuel 5:7 KJV: "the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David"). However, Scripture expands this meaning dramatically. Across approximately 150 references in the Bible (primarily in the Psalms, Prophets, and New Testament), Zion symbolizes the eternal, heavenly dwelling place of God and the final home of believers. It represents:
See Notes below for an entire breakdown of all 150 KJV scriptures regarding ZION and then context to bolster this blog assertion that Zionism must be viewed from a KJV Biblical understanding
- God's holy mountain and chosen dwelling (Psalm 132:13–14 KJV: "For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever").
- The spiritual center of God's kingdom, often tied to future restoration and divine rule.
- In the New Testament, the heavenly Zion or heavenly Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:22 KJV: "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem").
This heavenly aspect culminates in the Millennial Kingdom—a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth following His Second Coming (Revelation 20:4–6 KJV). During this period, Zion/Jerusalem will be the earthly seat of Christ's throne, fulfilling prophecies of a restored kingdom where the Messiah rules in righteousness (Isaiah 2:2–4; Zechariah 14:9 KJV). The linked study on the Millennial Kingdom emphasizes that this kingdom is established by the Messiah Himself, not by human initiative. It involves Christ's eternal presence among His people (Ezekiel 43:7 KJV: "the place of my throne... where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever"), a perfected New Covenant, no need for repeated animal sacrifices (Hebrews 10:10–18 KJV), and a focus on spiritual fulfillment rather than man-made structures or efforts.

The Suffix "-ism"
The OED (p. 1489) defines -ism as a suffix denoting "the system of religious, political, or philosophical belief founded on the name of its subject." It forms a noun of action or indicates a doctrine, practice, or movement centered on the root word. Thus, when attached to "Zion," it creates a term for a system or movement built around Zion.
Definition of Zionism (OED, p. 3870)
Zionism is described as "a movement among modern Jews having for its object the assured settlement of their race upon a national basis in Palestine." This reflects its historical emergence in the late 19th century as a political-nationalist effort to re-establish a Jewish homeland in the land historically called Palestine (now Israel). An early citation notes that in 1906, "the Zionists are a small majority of the Jews," indicating it was not universally embraced even among Jewish communities at the time.
Key Biblical and Theological Contrast
Honest, Torah-observant Jews (often referred to as ultra-Orthodox or anti-Zionist groups like Neturei Karta) maintain a scriptural understanding that no human effort can bring about or establish the Kingdom of God. Only the Messiah (Jesus Christ in the Christian view, or the awaited Mashiach in traditional Judaism) can accomplish this divine act. Human-led movements to "force" or politically engineer the return to Zion and the kingdom contradict prophecies that emphasize God's sovereign timing and the Messiah's direct intervention (e.g., Zechariah 14; Revelation 20).
In this perspective, modern political Zionism represents a counterfeit or humanistic attempt to preempt the Messiah's role—aligning with broader biblical warnings about false restorations or deceptions in the end times (e.g., the Antichrist's involvement in a deceptive temple setup before the true Millennial Kingdom; Daniel 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). True Zion, as the eternal heavenly reality and future Millennial seat, belongs to God's plan through faith in the Messiah, not through secular nationalism or forced settlement.

Summary

Zion = Biblical hill/city in Jerusalem → symbolic of God's eternal, heavenly dwelling and the believers' ultimate home, fully realized in the Messiah's Millennial Kingdom.
-ism = Suffix for a belief system or action-oriented movement.
Zionism = A modern (late 19th/early 20th-century) political-religious movement for Jewish national settlement in Palestine/Israel, viewed critically here as a human-initiated effort that bypasses the Messiah's exclusive role in establishing true Zion/the Kingdom.

Hebrew Strong's for "Sion/Zion" and Ancient Hebrew Lexicon

Strong's Hebrew H6726: Tsiyyon (צִיּוֹן) - Proper name for a mountain in Jerusalem, used as "Zion." From H6725 tsiyuwn, meaning a signpost, monument, or desert (from root tsayah, to be dry or parched). It denotes a permanent capital or landmark.
Ancient Hebrew Lexicon: The root צ-י-ן (ts-y-n) means "sign," "landmark," or "to point out." In ancient pictographic Hebrew, the letters represent a tent peg (tsade), eye (ayin), and seed (nun), symbolizing something marked or indicated as significant, like a dry, prominent hill serving as a landmark.

Greek Strong's for "Sion"

Strong's Greek G4622: Siōn (Σιών) - Proper name, transliteration of Hebrew Tsiyyon. Refers to the hill in Jerusalem or figuratively the Church. Used in NT to quote OT prophecies, symbolizing the city or spiritual realm.

OED Meaning and Etymology

Meaning (Oxford English Dictionary): "Zion" refers to the hill in Jerusalem on which the city of David was built; by extension, the people of Israel, the Jewish homeland, or (in Christian contexts) the heavenly city or Church. It can also denote a place of spiritual refuge or utopia.
Etymology: Borrowed from ecclesiastical Latin Sion (via Greek Σιών), from Biblical Hebrew ṣīyōn (צִיּוֹן), possibly meaning "fortress" or "dry place/landmark." Earliest use in English dates to Old English (pre-1150), appearing in religious texts.

Brief Narrative on Torah Jews' Belief That Zionism Is Not Biblical

Torah-observant Jews, particularly groups like Neturei Karta and other Haredi anti-Zionists, argue that political Zionism—the establishment of a secular Jewish state in Israel before the Messiah's arrival—contradicts the Torah and Tanach. Drawing from Deuteronomy 30:1-5 and Isaiah 11:11-12, they emphasize that the ingathering of exiles and restoration of the land are divine acts reserved for the Messiah, not human initiative. The Talmud (Ketubot 111a) cites the "three oaths": Jews must not ascend to the land "as a wall" (en masse by force), not rebel against nations, and nations must not overly oppress Jews. Zionism, they claim, violates these by forcing redemption through secular means, provoking divine wrath (as in Ezekiel 13:18-23 against false prophets). The Tanach's visions of peace (Micah 4:4) and universal knowledge of God (Isaiah 2:3) can only be fulfilled by the Davidic Messiah establishing God's kingdom, not a modern state. This view sees Zionism as idolatrous nationalism, delaying true redemption.

Research on the "ZIONITS" Cult from Sweden and Norway

Research yields no direct match for a cult called "ZIONITS" from Sweden or Norway claiming to be the "true Israel." The closest historical group is the "Zionites" (or Zioniten), a millenarian Protestant sect founded in the 1730s in Ronsdorf, Germany (Duchy of Berg), by Elias Eller and Anna von Büchel. They believed in an imminent millennium, with Eller as a prophet-figure fathering a "Zion child" to usher in Christ's kingdom. The sect had cult-like elements, including visions, strict communal living, and accusations of immorality, leading to its dissolution by 1745 after scandals. It was influenced by Pietism and Philadelphian ideas but not Scandinavian.

No evidence links this directly to Sweden/Norway, though 19th-century Scandinavian Pietism shared millenarian views on returning to "Zion" (Palestine), inspiring small migrations (e.g., Swedish groups in the 1840s-50s influenced by American millenarians). British Israelism (Anglo-Saxons as lost tribes) influenced some Nordic thinkers but wasn't a "cult" from there.

For adaptations:

Mormons: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) adopted "Zion" concepts independently via Joseph Smith in the 1830s, viewing America as the New Zion (Doctrine & Covenants 57:2) and Native Americans as descendants of Israel (Book of Mormon). No direct link to European Zionites, but shared millenarianism and "true Israel" restorationism.
Templars: Knights Templar (medieval order) had no connection; modern neo-Templar groups (e.g., Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani) sometimes incorporate Zionist or esoteric "true Israel" ideas, but this is speculative and not historical adaptation from a Scandinavian cult.

"Zionites" or early Christian Zionists. If referring to modern groups, Christian Zionism (believing Christians support Israel as "true Israel" fulfillment) has roots in 19th-century Protestantism, with some Scandinavian involvement, but it's not a cult. Substantiated sources show no exact match for a Swedish/Norwegian cult adapted by Mormons/Templars.

This understanding prioritizes the KJV Scriptures over secular or political definitions, seeing Zionism as a distortion of the divine promise tied to Zion. For deeper study on the Millennial Kingdom's biblical details, refer to the provided link.

The Truth:

Zionists are the True Anti Semites.

JQ - say, " It's the JEWS.." who are the problem.

ZIONISTS - say, "It's the TRUE JEWS and true Christians who understand the Mystery of the Church..." who are the problem.

JQ (Jewish Question): This refers to the "Jewish Question," a historical debate from 19th- and 20th-century Europe about the role, rights, and integration of Jews in society. In modern contexts, especially online, it's often code for discussions about alleged Jewish influence in politics, finance, media, or global events, frequently veering into antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Christian Zionism: A theological and political movement, primarily among evangelical Protestants, that supports the state of Israel based on a corrupted, judaized view of biblical doctrine that denies the MYSTERY given to Paul from Jesus Christ.

JQ is the opposite side of the same coin as the Zionists - The Dialectic: Here's an excerpt from Blog I'm finalizing:

Historical Evidence of Zionist Opposition to "True Jews"

A hallmark example of how Zionists have historically opposed "true Jews"—defined here as Torah-observant, anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews like those aligned with Neturei Karta—comes from archival documents during the Holocaust (1943-1944). As revealed in a recent X post by historian Matthew Ghobrial Cockerill (@History__Speaks), the Ben-Gurion-led Jewish Agency blocked a British rescue scheme for over 1,000 ultra-Orthodox rabbis and their families from Nazi-occupied Europe because they were perceived as anti-Zionist. The scheme involved issuing Palestine visas to secure Turkish transit visas, potentially stalling deportations. However, the Jewish Agency exercised veto power over visa allocations, prioritizing Zionist contributors over religious Jews.

Key quotes from the British document highlight this animosity: "The reason why the Rabbis cannot be brought out under any of the schemes of 'the Jewish Agency' is that they are not 'persons of vise' for Palestine. Those in control of the Jewish Agency are not at the present sympathetic to religion. ... Some of the Rabbis are no doubt not Zionists.

This was one of the main reasons for the inauguration of this 'ultra-orthodox' scheme." This unsympathetic stance toward religious Jews—often anti-Zionist—led to delays, switching to Mauritius visas, and potential lives lost. The post notes the Agency allocated visas to Jews in safe countries who could "contribute to the Zionist project," even as White Paper quotas went unexhausted, underscoring a deliberate deprioritization of "true Jews" who rejected secular nationalism. This historical subversion aligns with the Judaizer spirit, conflating political power with divine covenants and erecting walls against faithful Torah adherents." End quote.

Mystics, Gnostics, Secret Societies and all Kabbalah adherents (Jewish esoteric cults) fail to grasp Paul's mystery, which dismantles partitions. Paul's revelation in Ephesians 2:11-22 KJV and 3:1-6 KJV unveils the "mystery of Christ": Gentiles as fellow heirs in one body through the Gospel, where Christ "hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man" (Ephesians 2:14-15 KJV).

This unity is by faith, not secret knowledge (gnosis) or mystical rites. Gnostics, emphasizing hidden wisdom and dualism (e.g., matter vs. spirit), maintain hierarchies and separations Paul abolishes, viewing salvation as elite enlightenment rather than accessible grace. Kabbalah, with its sefirot and emanations, imposes esoteric layers on Torah, veiling the simplicity of Paul's Gospel and preserving Jewish-Gentile divides through ritualistic mysticism.

As in the blog "The word 'Israel' has been hijacked by Satan and his systems," true Israel is spiritual—believers grafted in via Christ's work (Romans 11 KJV; Galatians 3:29 KJV)—not physical or esoteric. These groups hijack "Israel" by esotericizing it, ignoring the allegory in Galatians 4:22-31 KJV: Hagar (bondage, earthly Jerusalem) vs. Sarah (freedom, heavenly Jerusalem), where "we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise" (v. 28), casting out fleshly heirs. Romans 9:7 KJV: "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." Their failure perpetuates Satanic hijacking via Zionism, conflating identities and subverting Christianity's unity.

These Christians who are anti dispensational anti-premillennial believers are actually no different than the Zionists they call out who are just as confused.

Paul of the Bible was way before Darby and he clearly laid all this out way way before Darby. This highlights how opposition to Dispensationalism often mirrors the very conflations it critiques, ignoring Paul's pre-Darby revelations in Ephesians and Romans that delineate the Church's mystery apart from Israel. The enemy that picked up in the 1900s to drive in confusion was Scofield as he wrote damnable heresy in his ‘commentary’ to corrupt the King James Bible. Scofield's notes, while popularizing Dispensationalism, introduced errors like marginalizing the Church's distinct role or blending covenants, sowing confusion that anti-Dispensationalists exploit to attack the framework, much like Zionists hijack Israel's identity—both subverting Paul's clear distinctions and perpetuating walls between true spiritual heirs and fleshly claims.

Here's background to what we're looking at:

https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2025/11/husbandman-householder-saints-iron-rod.html

Modern political Zionism perpetuates this subversion, preempting God’s divine timetable (Deuteronomy 30:1-5 KJV), conflating spiritual Israel (Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:29) with a secular state, and opposing “true Jews” who faithfully await the Davidic Messiah (Isaiah 11; Jeremiah 23). Historical evidence—such as the Jewish Agency’s deliberate blocking of rescue visas for anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox rabbis during the Holocaust—reveals deep-seated hatred toward Torah-observant believers who refuse Zionist nationalism.

Today, the faithful Church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13) suffers under this “synagogue of Satan” (v. 9), enduring the same Judaizing tactics that Paul condemned long before Darby or Scofield. True Zion belongs to the Messiah alone—not man’s schemes.

Here is the evidence:

Historical and Theological Lineage: From Pharisees to Judaizers and Subversion of Christianity

As articulated in the blog's foundational studies: "A strict interpretation of the King James Bible as pertaining to my numerous Blog studies focusing on the Mystery of the Church that Jesus Christ gave to Paul is God's unchanging covenants with Israel but warns against Judaizing influences that blur distinctions between dispensations, subverting the Church's identity as the Body of Christ separate from national Israel." The Pharisees embodied legalism, elevating traditions over grace (Matthew 23 KJV), which Paul rejected (Philippians 3:5-9 KJV). Judaizers—insisting on Mosaic Law for Gentiles (Acts 15:1-5 KJV; Galatians 2:11-14 KJV)—built a "wall of partition" (Ephesians 2:14 KJV) by conflating Church and Israel, undermining grace. This spirit persists in modern Zionism, conflating "true Israel" (Romans 9:6-8 KJV, faith-based heirs) with ethnic/political entities, erecting barriers via dual-covenant ideas or separate salvations. Neturei Karta and Satmar reject Zionism as false messianism usurping God, echoing Dispensational cautions against human intrusion into divine plans.

Historical Evidence of Zionist Opposition to "True Jews"

Synthesis: Revising the Narrative on Esotericism and Zionism

Böhme's esoteric influences via anthroposophy/occultism must be rejected for syncretism, as scripture demands. Zionism, per Neturei Karta/Satmar, embodies Judaizer spirit—preempting redemption, conflating identities—causing Philadelphia's faithful to suffer. Mystics/Gnostics/Kabbalah fail Paul's mystery, maintaining partitions through gnosis, unlike the blog's spiritual Israel: believers in Christ's Gospel, heirs of promise, not fleshly or esoteric claimants. This Holocaust-era evidence further proves Zionists' historical hatred for "true Jews," hijacking "Israel" in Satanic opposition to biblical truth.

The Martyrdom of Polycarp and the Church of Smyrna

Polycarp's martyrdom (c. 155 CE) exemplifies early persecution, with Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11 KJV) facing "slander" from the "synagogue of Satan" (Rev 2:9)—local Jews claiming exclusive covenants while opposing believers. Jewish urging in the execution reflects Judaizer tactics, enforcing exclusivity against universal grace, though Romans were primary actors. Smyrna was the faithful Church, not perpetrators.

Revelation 3:9 and the Church of Philadelphia

Revelation 3:9 KJV: "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." Historically, this denotes local Jews in Philadelphia opposing Christians, claiming exclusive covenant status while persecuting believers (akin to Smyrna in Rev 2:9 KJV), symbolizing false claimants to spiritual authority. In Dispensationalism, the churches are ages: Philadelphia the faithful 19th-20th century revival era, with an "open door" and trial protection (Rev 3:8,10 KJV), suffering opposition pre-Rapture. This remnant endures the "synagogue of Satan"—false Jews like Zionist conflators—mirroring Judaizer subversion. Laodicea is the lukewarm modern Church.

Mystics/Gnostics/Kabbalists misunderstand here, as their esoteric exclusivity echoes the "synagogue of Satan," preserving partitions Paul breaks. The blog's thesis proves this: Satanic systems hijack "Israel," but Paul's mystery unites all in Christ, exposing their veiled knowledge as deception.

Synthesis: Revising the Narrative on Esotericism and Zionism

Biblical Zion According to Deuteronomy 30:1-5 KJV and Traditional Jewish Interpretations

From a strict Dispensationalist perspective, which views God's redemptive plan as unfolding through distinct dispensations or administrations, the restoration of Israel must be understood as a future literal fulfillment tied to national Israel's role in God's economy, separate from the Church. This aligns with the historical and anti-Zionist stance of Orthodox Jewish groups like Neturei Karta and Satmar Hasidim, who emphasize that any human attempt to force the end of exile violates divine sovereignty. Deuteronomy 30:1-5 KJV explicitly outlines this divine process: "And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers."

This passage underscores that the ingathering of the exiles follows national repentance and divine initiative, not political maneuvering or secular state-building. Neturei Karta and Satmar, drawing from Talmudic teachings like the Three Oaths (Ketubot 111a, based on Song of Songs 2:7, 3:5, 8:4), argue that Jews are oath-bound not to ascend en masse to the Land or rebel against nations until the Messiah comes, as human efforts "force the end" and prolong exile as punishment. Traditional Jewish interpretations, as held by these groups, stress that the full restoration of Zion—universal peace, Temple rebuilding, and end of exile—will be orchestrated solely by the Messiah, a descendant of David (Isaiah 11:1-9 KJV: "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse... And the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb"; Jeremiah 23:5-6 KJV: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch"). The Messianic Age (Olam HaBa) involves God directly ushering in redemption, as in Ezekiel 37:21-28 KJV, where He reunites the scattered tribes under divine action: "Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen... and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land... And David my servant shall be king over them." Any human-led actions, such as modern political Zionism, are seen as sinful rebellion, preempting the Messiah and violating scripture. In Dispensationalism, this future restoration occurs in the Millennial Kingdom after the Church Age, with Israel regaining its covenant promises literally, but only through Christ's return—not through current geopolitical efforts.

Synopsis: Examining the Provided Content in Light of the Protocols

Zionism before Zionism was JUDAISM or the JUDAIZERS we must go back to the Pharisees and King Herod the Herodian Dynasty and before that we must go back to the descendants of Cain Nephilim bloodlines and before that to the fall of the garden. ULTIMATELY ALL TO CREATE ANOTHER CHRIST.

To understand the history of Zionism we must use a biblical perspective going back to the 1st century church: The expanded materials, now incorporating additional Third Heaven Traveler blogs, deepen the critique of Zionism as a satanic deception rooted in ancient bloodlines and spiritual warfare, tracing from Eden's fall (Genesis 3:15 KJV, enmity between seeds) through Cain/Nephilim corruption (Genesis 4:17-24, 6:1-4 KJV), Nimrod's rebellion (Genesis 10:8-9 KJV), Herodian/Pharisaic hypocrisy (Matthew 23:33, John 8:44 KJV), to 1st-century Judaizers imposing law on Gentiles (Galatians 2:14 KJV; Acts 15). This lineage allegedly culminates in modern Zionism—crafted by Vatican/Jesuits as a political tool—to subvert true Christianity, creating "another Christ" bound to ethnic/land claims rather than grace (Galatians 4:21-31 KJV allegory of Hagar/Sarah covenants; Ephesians 2:14-16 KJV one new man). The blogs portray this as Satan's hierarchy (Ephesians 6:12 KJV: principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, wickedness in high places) via Luciferian bloodlines (Cain to Khazars/Rothschilds/Orsini/Farnese) and systems (Vatican as Mystery Babylon, Revelation 17 KJV; elite webs like CFR/IMF/Freemasons), hijacking "Israel" for end-times deception (Daniel 9:27 KJV false covenant; 1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV sudden destruction).

The 2021 blog on Judaizers exposes modern Messianics/Evangelicals (e.g., Amir Tsarfati, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee) as false teachers adding works to the gospel (Galatians 1:8-9 KJV), using non-biblical symbols (Star of Remphan) and misapplying Psalm 122:6 KJV for political Zionism, leading to replacement theology or dominionism. The 2026 case study rebukes a Messianic Jew for blaming Jesuits while ignoring Judaizers (Titus 1:10 KJV), linking to Gnostic influences (Philo/Tertullian) and pagan Trinity in Catholicism/Protestantism as "Harlot" systems (Revelation 17 KJV). "Who is Israel?" lessons counter Christian Zionism (defended by @DefiyantlyFree/Insurrection Barbie) as an oxymoron, defining true Israel as the spiritual Church/remnant via Paul's mystery (Ephesians 3:3-6 KJV; Romans 9-11 KJV), not national/ethnic (Galatians 3:16,28 KJV; Romans 11:17-18 KJV grafted in). The hijacking post asserts Zionists weaponize "Israel" for Satan's agenda, conflating it with fleshly bonds (Galatians 4:22-31 KJV), ignoring the free heavenly Jerusalem. "The Prince of this World" details Satan's rule (John 12:31 KJV) through bloodlines/elites (Genesis 3:15 to modern 13 families), Vatican paganism (obelisks/sun worship, Deuteronomy 17:3 KJV), and Zionism as Jesuit construct (Hess/Herzl ties; Protocols as misdirection). This echoes the 2025 love post on agape unity (Matthew 22:37-40 KJV) via Jesus' mixed lineage (Matthew 1: Rahab/Ruth Gentiles), rejecting racism/religious divides (Galatians 3:28 KJV), and the 2023 Messianic critique for avoiding "Jesus/Christian" to preserve Jewish identity (Colossians 2:8 KJV).

Historical Judaizers (Reading Acts: Jewish Christians enforcing law, per Josephus/Ignatius) mirror modern impositions, per Long's Galatians book: freedom through grace, not legalism (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV fruits). Vatican "creation" of Zionism (opposed Pius X/Herzl 1904 historically, but conspiratorially orchestrated via Jesuits for control) aligns with @mattyelle1's thread: Zionism inverts Christianity, hijacking "Israel" through Kabbalah/Gnosticism; your replies affirm Jesuit deception, redefining true Israel as Church/remnant (Ephesians 3, Romans 11 KJV). New X threads (@IanMalcolm84 conversation) discuss controlled opposition (Owens/Carlson/Shapiro/Kirk) subverting doctrine for Vatican-Jesuit-Zionist symphony, starting with Counter Reformation; you emphasize exposing all players (LDS too), not just "naughty Jews," as Satan's manipulation of unwitting believers.

@RecTheRegime seeks scholarly histories of Christian Zionism; the YouTube video critiques its origins: Darby (heretic/Zionist), Scofield (fraudster Bible), Untermeyer (Rothschild lawyer/Fed/WWI), Frowde (publisher flooding churches), portraying it as infiltration for "fake faith centered on Israel's land" (image: Glenn Beck-like figure on video clip). Rick Wiles exposes partial truths (Zionism's dark history) but builds straw men (Matthew 13 KJV leaven), missing Vatican depth; Chuck Baldwin (2021 blog) leads a cult via replacement theology, rapture denial (preparing for Antichrist/mark), political propaganda over gospel (Galatians 1:8-9 KJV), despite anti-Zionism—same talking points as Wiles, distorting truth.

Reviewing with the Protocols—possible hoax alleging elite (Jewish-coded) manipulation via crises/politics—parallels conspiracy views: Zionism as Vatican/Jesuit-orchestrated divide-and-conquer, echoing Protocols' "subterranean methods" but redirecting blame to Pharisees/Herodians/Cainite lines for "another Christ." Yet, blogs reposition true Israel spiritually (Church as grafted promise-children, not replacement), rejecting legalism/ethnic supremacy as 1st-century echoes (Paul's rebukes), urging KJV study (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) against end-times deception. Mainstream history debunks Vatican creation (opposition documented), but narratives persist online, framing Zionism as satanic tool for global control.

Notes:

KJV Scriptures Containing "Zion" or "Sion"

The word "Zion" appears 152 times in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, primarily in the Old Testament, referring to the hill in Jerusalem, the city of David, the people of Israel, or symbolically as the dwelling place of God or the future kingdom. "Sion" is an alternate spelling used 9 times (8 in the NT and 1 in the OT, with one in Deut 4:48 referring to Mount Hermon, a different Hebrew word). Below is a complete list of verses with "Sion," including full text and brief context.

The Ronsdorf sect's millenarian "Zionism" connects to London through its Philadelphian roots but has no substantiated ties to Vikings, Swedes, or Norwegians. Nordic Israelism offers a thematic parallel—reimagining Scandinavians as biblical heirs in a restorationist framework—but postdates Ronsdorf by over a century and stems from separate British influences. If the query implies fringe theories (e.g., lost tribes migrations via Vikings to Britain and Scandinavia), it's speculative but aligns with Israelism doctrines. Overall, these represent distinct strands of Christian eschatology, united by Protestant fascination with biblical Israel but not directly intertwined.

Jakob Böhme: An Overview

Jakob Böhme (1575–1624) was a German Lutheran mystic, philosopher, and theologian from Görlitz, often called the "Teutonic Theosopher." A shoemaker by trade, he experienced profound mystical visions that shaped his writings, blending Christian theology with alchemical, kabbalistic, and Neoplatonic elements. His works, such as Aurora (1612) and The Way to Christ (1624), explore themes like the nature of God, the origin of evil, human divinity, and cosmic unity. Böhme's ideas emphasized direct, personal revelation over institutional dogma, viewing the universe as a dynamic interplay of opposites (e.g., light and darkness, wrath and love) emanating from an unfathomable divine ground (Ungrund). Despite persecution from Lutheran authorities for his unorthodox views, his writings circulated underground and posthumously influenced diverse fields.

Böhme's influence stems from his innovative synthesis of mysticism and philosophy, which resonated during periods of intellectual ferment like the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and beyond. He is seen as a bridge between medieval mysticism (e.g., Meister Eckhart) and modern thought, impacting thinkers who sought to reconcile faith, reason, and inner experience. Below, I explore his key influences across philosophy, religion and mysticism, literature, and other areas.

Influence on Philosophy

Böhme's dialectical view of reality—where opposites resolve into higher unity—prefigured key philosophical developments. He profoundly shaped German Idealism: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel praised him as "the first German philosopher," crediting Böhme's ideas on process and contradiction as foundational to his own dialectics. Hegel interpreted Böhme's theosophy as a precursor to absolute idealism, where God unfolds through history and human consciousness. Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling drew from Böhme's concepts of the Ungrund (a primal, will-less abyss) and divine self-revelation, incorporating them into his philosophy of nature and identity.

His impact extended to Romantic philosophers and beyond. Arthur Schopenhauer echoed Böhme's emphasis on will as the core of existence, while Friedrich Nietzsche critiqued but engaged with his mystical voluntarism. In the 20th century, thinkers like Martin Heidegger and Ernst Bloch referenced Böhme's ontology of becoming. Böhme's gnostic-tinged mysticism also influenced existential and process philosophies, portraying freedom as a tragic yet redemptive struggle against cosmic law. Overall, his work is credited with injecting mystical depth into rational philosophy, influencing movements from Romanticism to modern esotericism.

Influence on Religion and Mysticism

As a Christian mystic, Böhme stressed inner illumination and theosis (divine union), viewing humans as microcosms of God capable of regeneration. He is labeled a mystic for his focus on direct divine encounters, symbolic interpretations of scripture, and the inner Christ—ideas that challenged orthodox Lutheranism but inspired radical Pietism and spiritual awakenings.

Böhme's theology fueled 17th–18th-century movements like the Philadelphian Society in England (led by Jane Leade), which adapted his theosophy into apocalyptic communalism, influencing groups such as the Ronsdorf Zionites in Germany. His ideas permeated Pietism, where figures like Philipp Jakob Spener and August Hermann Francke echoed his call for heartfelt religion over formalism. This evolved into esoteric strains: Böhme inspired Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and Theosophy (e.g., Helena Blavatsky cited him).

In Russia, his works influenced Orthodox mysticism and philosophers like Vladimir Solovyov, blending with Slavic spiritualism. Modern psychology, particularly Carl Jung, drew parallels between Böhme's cosmology and archetypes, seeing his visions as insights into the collective unconscious and individuation. Böhme's notion that everyone embodies both Adam (fallen) and Christ (redeemed) promoted universal salvation through inner alchemy, impacting Quakerism and other non-conformist traditions.

Influence on Literature

Böhme's poetic, visionary language—rich in metaphors of birth, fire, and harmony—inspired Romantic and transcendentalist writers. William Blake hailed him as a kindred spirit, adopting Böhme's myths of divine imagination and contraries in works like The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In America, Ralph Waldo Emerson encountered Böhme through translations, integrating his ideas of nature as divine emanation into Transcendentalism; Emerson saw the poet as a mystic seer, echoing Böhme's fusion of intuition and intellect.

Other literary figures include Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who studied Böhme deeply, and W.B. Yeats, who drew on his symbolism for occult poetry. John Milton may have been indirectly influenced via shared mystical sources, though direct links are debated. Böhme's rhetorical style, emphasizing "presence" through vivid, experiential prose, shaped mystical literature, influencing authors like Novalis and Hermann Hesse.

Broader Influences: Art, Science, and Legacy

Böhme's cosmic visions extended to art, inspiring symbolist painters and musicians. For instance, his alchemical imagery influenced William Blake's illustrations and later abstract artists exploring spiritual forms. In science, his holistic view of nature as alive and interconnected anticipated ecology and systems theory, though he clashed with emerging rationalism.

His legacy endures in anthroposophy (Rudolf Steiner) and New Age spirituality, where his theosophy informs holistic worldviews. Exhibitions, like the 2017 Dresden show "All in All," highlight his interdisciplinary impact. Critiques note his obscurity and potential for misinterpretation, but Böhme remains a touchstone for those seeking profound, integrative wisdom.

Vikings (Norse raiders and settlers from Scandinavia, ca. 793–1066 CE) were pagan until gradual Christianization between the 8th–12th centuries, often through trade, missions (e.g., Ansgar in Sweden), and political alliances (e.g., Harald Bluetooth in Denmark around 960 CE). This conversion was pragmatic—boosting trade with Christian Europe—rather than millenarian or Zionist. Vikings had minimal direct contact with Judaism; encounters were rare, via trade routes or raids on Christian sites containing Jewish communities.

A potential indirect link arises through Nordic Israelism, a 19th–20th-century belief that Scandinavians descend from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (exiled by Assyria in 722 BCE). This is an offshoot of British Israelism, which posits the British (and by extension, related peoples) as Israelite heirs. Key identifications:

Tribe of Dan: Linked to Danes (Denmark) and Vikings, based on etymology (e.g., "Danmark" from "Dan") and migrations from the Black Sea region.
Tribe of Naphtali: Associated with Norway.
Tribe of Benjamin: Tied to Iceland.
Broader claims: Swedes from Scythians (ancient nomads seen as Israelite exiles), with Norse myths reinterpreted as Hebrew echoes.

Nordic Israelism emerged in the 1850s, influenced by British proponents like John Cox Gawler, and gained traction in Scandinavia through figures like Danish Pentecostals Anna and Sigurd Bjørner. It incorporates millenarian elements, viewing Nordics as part of end-times Israel restoration—echoing Ronsdorf's "Zion" themes but without historical overlap. London ties in via British Israelism's origins in 19th-century England, with groups like the British-Israel-World Federation promoting these ideas from London.

These theories are fringe and lack archaeological or genetic support; mainstream historians attribute Scandinavian ethnogenesis to Indo-European migrations, not Semitic ones. However, they substantiate claims of a "Zionism" (as Israelite heritage) among Vikings' descendants, potentially linking to broader Christian Zionist roots in Protestant Europe.

Jakob Böhme's Influence in Modern Esotericism and Connections to Zionism

Jakob Böhme's theosophical ideas, emphasizing divine unity through opposites, inner revelation, and cosmic processes, have deeply shaped modern esotericism. His concepts, such as the Ungrund (primal abyss) and the seven properties of divine manifestation, drew from diverse sources including alchemy, Neoplatonism, and notably Jewish Kabbalah. These elements permeated movements like anthroposophy (founded by Rudolf Steiner) and broader occultism (e.g., Aleister Crowley's Thelema, influenced indirectly through Kabbalistic traditions). Below, I explore how these influences connect to "Zionism," distinguishing between modern political Zionism (the movement for a Jewish homeland) and historical Christian "Zionism" (millenarian restorationism, as in the Ronsdorf sect context). Direct links are tenuous and often indirect, primarily through shared esoteric motifs like Kabbalah, but Böhme's legacy intersects with Zionist themes in complex, sometimes oppositional ways.

Through Anthroposophy: Rudolf Steiner's Opposition to Political Zionism

Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), who founded anthroposophy as a spiritual science branching from Theosophy, was profoundly influenced by Böhme's mysticism. Steiner admired Böhme's dialectical view of divine evolution and incorporated similar ideas into his cosmology, such as human spiritual development transcending material or ethnic boundaries. However, this led Steiner to critique ethnic nationalism, including Zionism.

Steiner opposed the creation of a Zionist state, viewing it as an anachronistic reliance on ethnicity that hindered individual freedom and universal human progress. In his 1897 article "The Longing of the Jews for Palestine," he criticized Zionist leaders Theodor Herzl and Max Nordau for exaggerating antisemitism to fuel their agenda, calling them "vain seducers" who prioritized personal ambition over genuine solutions. Steiner argued that antisemitism arose from "false fantasies" rather than inherent threats, and Zionism risked isolating Jews further by emphasizing tribal identity: "The Zionist movement is an enemy of Judaism. The Jews would do best if they took a good look at the people who are painting spectres for them."

He saw Zionism as a reactionary response to antisemitism, advocating instead for Jewish assimilation into broader society to foster mutual understanding based on individual merit. This stance aligned with his anthroposophical emphasis on spiritual individuality—influenced by Böhme's focus on inner regeneration and cosmic unity—over group affiliations rooted in history or biology. Despite this, some early Zionists like Hugo Bergmann were Steiner's students, highlighting tensions; modern Israeli anthroposophists grapple with Steiner's views on Judaism and Zionism, often reinterpreting them in light of contemporary contexts.

Through Occultism: Kabbalistic Affinities and Symbolic Overlaps

Böhme's theosophy integrated elements from Jewish Kabbalah, such as the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) as a creative force bridging infinite unity (Ein Sof paralleling Böhme's Ungrund) and finite multiplicity, and the sefirot (divine emanations) mirrored in his seven properties of God. These affinities influenced modern occultism, where Kabbalah became a cornerstone for groups like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (which Aleister Crowley joined and later reformed into his Thelema system). Jewish occultists, such as Moina Mathers and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers in the Golden Dawn, blended Kabbalah with Western esotericism, creating a syncretic tradition that indirectly echoes Böhme's synthesis.

Connections to Zionism here are largely symbolic or conspiratorial rather than substantive. The Star of David (hexagram), adopted by Zionism in the late 19th century, has occult roots in Kabbalistic and alchemical traditions that Böhme engaged with, representing unity of opposites (e.g., fire and water triangles). Fringe theories link this to Zionist symbols via Rothschild family crests or Freemasonry (influenced by Kabbalah), suggesting occult underpinnings to Zionism. However, mainstream historians view these as coincidences or antisemitic conspiracies, not evidence of direct occult-Zionist ties. Crowley himself had ambivalent views on Judaism, drawing from Kabbalah but expressing antisemitic sentiments, with no clear endorsement of Zionism.

Jewish involvement in occultism, from Kabbalah to modern movements, sometimes intersected with Zionist ideals—e.g., esoteric interpretations of return to Zion as spiritual restoration—but this was marginal. Figures like Martin Buber, influenced by mysticism, engaged Zionism culturally rather than politically.

Millenarian and Christian Zionist Ties

In the Ronsdorf context, Böhme's apocalyptic visions influenced Philadelphian millenarianism, which emphasized a "new Zion" as spiritual restoration—echoing Christian Zionism's support for Jewish return to Israel to fulfill prophecies. Some Boehme-influenced Christians urged Jewish conversion and return, seeing it as prelude to Christ's reign. This differs from Jewish political Zionism but shares restorationist themes, potentially linking Böhme's esotericism to modern Christian Zionist movements.
