The book we are discussing is The Gates of Zion by Brock and Bodie Theone.

You can follow Josh’s work over on his substack called New Means. He mostly covers issues of labor but most recently has been writing from a Jewish perspective on the dangers of zionism. 

“Zionism was the air we breathed. To me it seemed so normal, it was not something we investigated consciously.”

The single largest zionist organization in the US Christians United for Israel. You can read more about it here.

The current speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, is a rabid Christian zionist. 

Jewitches has a great podcast, post, and infographics on Christian zionism. 

They write: “The largest Zionist organization has more Christian members than there are Jewish Americans alive. As of 2021, there are roughly 7.5 million American Jews. Christians United for Israel alone has over 10 million Christian members. There are more than 30 million Christian Zionists in the United States alone, according to the author & academic Tristan Sturm. That’s double the population of Jews worldwide.”

Here is a quick biography of Brock and Bodie Theone. 

In 1978 while working on The Fall Guy, she [Bodie]  told John Wayne about her desire to write about the events surrounding Israel's statehood. "That's one you ought to do," Wayne said. "It's the Jewish Alamo!" An unusual series of circumstances directed Bodie into the Zion project. A producer persuaded her to write a script centering on the day in 1948 when Jerusalem's mayor received from the British the key to the Old City. For the first time in 2,000 years, a Jew held the key to the city gates. While an intriguing story to Bodie, the producer needed the script in three weeks.

Brock and Bodie have written 65 different books and sold over 35 million copies of their zionist historical fiction. 

“Due to such careful research, The Zion Covenant and The Zion Chronicles series are recognized by the American Library Association, as well as Zionist libraries around the world, as classic historical novels and are used to teach history in college classrooms.”

O Jerusalem was a book published in 1972 that was a popular history of the creation of the nation-state of Israel. Here is some good background info on the book and what its aims were. 

One of Bodie’s recent facebook posts mentions “the door of the Ark is about to close” The rest of their facebook page is just one big trigger warning/red flag.

Brock and Bodie wrote their recent books of fiction with Calvary Chapel pastor (and huge end-times prophecy guy) Ray Bentley.
