A 75-year-old former IDF soldier and former Zionist reveals the stories they don't want you to hear. Deep dives into history, faith, and the current conflict in the Middle East
Hello, and welcome. My name is Coby. I'm a 75 year old Israeli, a former IDF soldier, and a former Zionist. I spent my life serving a state I once believed in until I saw the truth of what it had become. On this podcast, we will journey back through history, but before we do, I need to be very clear about what we are looking for.
Coby:We are not here to attack Judaism. We're here to attack a political ideology that has hijacked Judaism for its own purposes. To understand this, you need to understand the difference between two narratives, the religious narrative of chosenness and the political narrative of supremacy. The religious narrative is thousands of years old. For most of Jewish history, in the diaspora, the idea of being chosen was a spiritual burden.
Coby:It was a covenant with God that came with 613 commandments, a heavy responsibility. It was about how to live a righteous life, how to pray, how to survive as a people without a state. It looked inward. The political narrative is modern. It was born with Zionism.
Coby:It took that ancient spiritual idea and weaponized it for a new purpose, to build and defend a secular nation state. It transformed the spiritual burden of chosenness into a political right of supremacy. It took the promise of a land from God and turned it into a modern day title deed that overrides the rights of others. It looks outward toward power, land, and control. Supremacy is a belief that your group rights are absolute and divinely ordained, and therefore, they cancel out the rights of everyone else.
Coby:That is the ideology we are here to expose. My argument, the argument of this podcast, is that the modern state of Israel and the catastrophe we see today are not the results of the Jewish religion. They are the result of this political narrative of supremacy that has corrupted and distorted the religion for its own ends. In 2008, the then senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama stood before a powerful group called AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He told them what they wanted to hear, pledging undying support for the state of Israel.
Coby:But behind the scenes, a different, even more powerful group was pulling the strings. A group of American Christians led by pastor like John Hagee, who believe with absolute certainty that Israel must exist so it can be the stage for the end of the world, a world in which most Jews are killed in a final bloody battle called Armageddon. These are not Israel's friends. They are its apocalypse cult allies, and today, we're going to expose them. Who are these people?
Coby:They're called Christian Zionists. And to understand them, you must first understand the ultimate goal. The ultimate, most important prophecy is not that the Jewish people returned to their ancestral homeland. That is merely a prerequisite, a milestone on the road to the true objective, the theological elimination of Judaism. In their end times scenario, the Jewish people must either convert to Christianity or be exterminated in the final battle of Armageddon.
Coby:Everything they do is in service of that final goal. This is a radical departure from 2,000 of Christian's theology. For centuries, the church taught that God had rejected the Jews for killing Jesus and that the church had replaced them as God's chosen people. This doctrine known as supersessionism was a justification for centuries of persecution from the crusades to inquisition to the pogroms. Jews were seen as cursed people forever wandering a testament to God's wrath.
Coby:But then in the nineteenth century, a new bizarre theology emerged in America and England called premillennial dispensationalism. A man named John Nelson Darby began to read the Bible's prophecies not as allegory but as literal future newspaper. And this new theology was completely divorced from the teachings of Jesus himself. Remember, Jesus was a Jew, a revered rabbi whose core message was about love, peace, and inclusion. He taught blessed are the peacemakers to love your neighbor as yourself and to care for the poor and the oppressed.
Coby:He stood in radical opposition to the corrupt, power hungry religious and political authorities of his time. The Christian Zionists have taken the name of Christ, but they have built an ideology that is the absolute opposite of everything he taught. They have replaced his gospel of love with blueprint for global destruction. So they did a complete one eighty. Suddenly, after centuries of hatred, they became the biggest cheerleaders for a Jewish state.
Coby:It was not a change of heart. It was a change of strategy. They weren't supporting Jews because they loved them. They were luring them back to Israel, back to the stage so they could play their part in a divine drama that ends with their conversion or their destruction. They needed Jews back in Israel to kick start the apocalypse that would wipe Judaism off the face of the earth.
Coby:This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the stated belief, a specific futurist interpretation of prophecy that lays out a timeline for global destruction. Let me walk you through the blueprint based on the interpretation of biblical prophecies from Revelation to Ezekiel. The invasion doesn't start with the Antichrist. It starts with a figure called Gog from the land of Magog.
Coby:The bible in the book of Ezekiel chapter 38 lays out the coalition with stunning specificity. It says Gog will be the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. For centuries, no one knew what this meant but in the modern era these names have been deciphered. Rosh is an ancient word for Russia. Meshech and Tubal are believed to be the ancient names for Moscow and Tobolsk.
Coby:The prophecy goes on. Persia, Kush, and Put will be with them. Persia is modern day Iran. Kush and Put are seen as parts of Sudan and Libya. And then it says the house of Stogarmah from the Far North, which many points to as Turkey.
Coby:Christian Zionists watch the news every day and see the growing military and economic alliances between Russia, Iran, and Turkey, and they cheer. They see it not as a threat to Israel but as proof that prophecy is unfolding before their very eyes. This Gog and Magog invasion is seen as a precursor, the warm up act for the main event, the great tribulation. This is a core belief about the future. They believe it will be a seven year period of unimaginable global suffering and chaos.
Coby:It will begin when the antichrist brokers a false peace with Israel, breaks it, and unleashes his fury. During this time, they believe God will pour out literal judgments on the world, plagues, famines, wars, and natural disasters that will kill billions. It is not a metaphor for them. It is a future news report. And at the center of this global destruction will be the persecution of the Jewish people.
Coby:And then comes the antichrist. And who is this antichrist? The Bible gives us a very specific profile. He will be a charismatic leader, a master showman who rises to power not on tradition but on populist promises. He will present himself as Israel's greatest friend, brokering a historic peace deal that the world will celebrate.
Coby:A man so audacious, so full of himself that he might even say he has 99% support in Israel and could become the prime minister. But it will be false peace. He will be a man obsessed with his own power and glory, a man who demands absolute loyalty and surrounds himself with psychopaths, a man who sees himself as above the law, a savior figure. In fact, the Bible says that at the height of his power, he will enter the temple in Jerusalem and commit the ultimate act of blasphemy. He will sit on a throne and declare himself to be God.
Coby:And that moment, the moment he declares himself God is the moment the mask comes off. It is a trigger for the great tribulation. Enraged that the Jewish people have not accepted him, he will be he will unleash a fury of persecution. Who will be his army? This is where it gets truly strange.
Coby:The Antichrist is a global leader, so he commands a global coalition. The Bible speaks of the kings of the North and the East, a force that they interpret as a massive military alliance led by Russia, China, and Iran. So, yes, according to this prophecy, the antichrist will command the very nations that Israel fears most. He will turn Israel's enemies into his own army to hunt down the Jewish people who refuse to worship him. Two thirds of all Jews, they believe, will be slaughtered.
Coby:They are literally cheering for this future holocaust. So let me be perfectly clear. This is not friendship. This is not support. This is a theological death sentence.
Coby:The pro Israel stance is predicated on the belief that most Jews will be exterminated and the rest will be forced to abandon their religion. If that is not antisemitism, I don't know what is. Now you might be thinking, Kobe, this is, the theology of a fringe group. But I'm here to tell you, it is not. It is a theology of one of the most powerful political forces in America.
Coby:The organization Christian United for Israel or acronym CUFI, c u f I, funded by pastor John Hagee has over 10,000,000 members. It is the largest pro Israel organization in The United States period. Not a Jewish organization, but one that claims to be Christian but far removed from the peace and love teaching of Jesus. And they are not just praying. They are lobbying.
Coby:Every year CUFI holds its summit on the hill in Washington DC where thousands of the members descend on congress to lobby for policies that benefit the apocalyptic timeline. They lobby against any peace deal that would give land back to the Palestinians because they believe that the land was given to the Jews by God and can never be given away. They lobby for maximum American military and financial support for Israel because a strong Israel is necessary is a necessary ingredient for the war. They have successfully lobbied for the move of The US Embassy to Jerusalem, a move that was seen by many as prophetic fulfillment, but by others as a reckless act that inflamed tensions and destroyed any hope for two state solution. And this is where the support becomes so dangerously cynical that we support a political leader, even one who seems to be Israel's greatest friend, because they see him as a potential player in their drama.
Coby:They're not looking for a partner in peace. They're looking for a strong man who can broker the deal of the century. They need to kick start the end times. They don't care about his character, his corruption, or his policies as long as he plays his part in their apocalyptic script. Their loyalty is not to a nation or a people, but to a prophecy.
Coby:So, don't just take my word for it. Let's look at what they say themselves. In his 2,007 book, Jerusalem Countdown, John Hagee wrote that the antichrist will be partially Jewish as was Adolf Hitler. He later had to apologize for that, but this sentiment reveals a deep disturbing undercurrent. He also wrote that Hitler's persecution of the Jews was a divine will because it forced them to flee to Palestine, thereby helping to create the state of Israel.
Coby:Think about that. He is justifying the Holocaust as a necessary step in God's plan. In sermons, these pastors speak of the coming blood moons and the signs in the heavens as evidence that the end is near. They preach that any war in The Middle East, no matter how horrific, is a good thing because it's a birth pang of the messiah's return. They tell the congregations, tens of millions of people, that supporting Israel isn't about human rights or democracy.
Coby:It's about getting on the right side of the apocalypse. It is a fear based politicized faith that has replaced the gospel of Jesus with a geopolitical death cult. So how do they really see Israelis and Jews? Not as equals, they see them as props, as pawns in a divine drama. Listen to the language.
Coby:They talk about God's chosen people in a way that is sentimental and paternalistic, like talking about the beloved but misguided child. They don't respect Jewish theology or tradition. In fact, they despise it because they deny Jesus. When they say they love the Jewish people, what they mean is they love the idea of the Jewish people as character in their end time story. I have seen it firsthand.
Coby:When these groups bring tools to Israel, they don't come to learn from Jews. They come to walk on their land. They treat the living, breathing Jewish state like a biblical theme park. They love the idea of a strong Israeli army not because they care about Jewish security, but because they see it as the army that will fight God's final war against the armies of the Antichrist. They have no interest in the daily struggles of Israelis, the moral dilemma of the conflict, or the humanity of the Palestinian people.
Coby:All they see are chess pieces moving on a prophetic board. And this is where the political narrative of supremacy becomes so clear. Christian Zionism is the ultimate expression of it. It takes a Bible, a sacred text, and flattens it into a simplistic political blueprint. It ignores all calls for justice, mercy, and peace and focuses only on power, conquest, and destruction.
Coby:It has created an alliance that is, at its core, built on a foundation of profound distrust and a genocidal fantasy. They need Israel to be strong, but they need the Jewish people to ultimately be weak enough to accept the Messiah. So the next time you see an American politician pander to a group like Christians United for Israel, John Hagee's organization, understand what you are seeing. You are seeing a politician coding a voting bloc that believes The US should support Israel at all cost to help bring about the end of the world. This isn't foreign policy.
Coby:It's eschatology. And for those of you who don't know that word, eschatology is simply the part of theology that deals with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind. They're turning US foreign policy into a tool for their end of the world theology, and it is one of the most powerful, unspoken forces shaping the conflict today. This is a political narrative of supremacy that has hijacked a religion. It uses the Bible to justify its goals, ignoring the parts that demand justice and focusing only on the parts that promise conquest.
Coby:It is a toxic brew of faith and politics that is poisoning everything it touches. And it raises a critical question. A movement this powerful with this much influence in Washington doesn't run on faith alone. It runs on money. So who is funding this Christian Zionist?
Coby:What is the true motivation? In our next episode, we will follow the money and expose a financial network that powers the apocalypse machine. This is Coby, 75 year old Israeli who used to be a Zionist. We're pulling back the curtain on the stories we were told so you can understand the reality we live in. Join me next time.
Coby:Thank you.
