Thanks to a Substack Note from Knights Templar North America actually sent on 10/7, I finally watched a Youtube video entitled, “A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)”. The video was posted on Youtube on July 3, 2026 from Youtube channel Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield. Here is the Youtube Channel Description:
“Rock Harbor Church is a community of believers devoted to God’s Word. Founded upon an unwavering commitment to “anchor ourselves to the rock of Christ,” we teach the entire Bible verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation, and seek to apply its truth to our daily lives in order to go deeper in our walk with the Lord. We are a growing body of believers committed to reaching our culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is God’s Holy Word, and that it contains God’s perfect plan to redeem humanity from sin, through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.”
The Channel page points to the Church website: https://rockharborchurch.net/
Under the Meet The Staff page, I’ve discerned the video speaker is Brandon Holthaus who is the Senior Pastor. The Pastor Holthaus page has three paragraphs explaining his call to ministry. Below I excerpt the third paragraph which essentially explains his credentials to minister the Word of God:
“Brandon holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Columbia University, New York, NY. He also holds both a Master of Arts in Religion degree, (Cum Laude), and a Master of Divinity, (Cum Laude) from Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary, Lynchburg, VA. Brandon’s areas of emphasis include: prophecy, discernment, apologetics, Jewish culture and background, and Biblical worldview polemics. Brandon also has weekly prophecy updates, sermons, and other Bible studies on YouTube (Search: Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield) Rumble (Search: RHC Bakersfield) and Vimeo (Search for: Rock Harbor Church Prophecy). All audio presentations can be found on Spotify, iTunes, and Pod Bean (Search for: Rock Harbor Church’s The Anchor), and sermonaudio.org (Search for: Rock Harbor Church or Brandon Holthaus). Brandon is also a professor of Eschatology at Summit Bible College.”
The video bills the post as Part One. After a cursory search on the Youtube Channel, I could not find a Part Two. Part One is so good at repudiating Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall, if I found a Part Two I would have included it. If you run into a Part Two, YOU should watch it!
In full disclosure, I used to be a huge Tucker fan as he advocated for President Trump’s positions and against the Biden-era COVID Tyranny. Then some kind of nut went -boing- in Tucker’s thinking and he became infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome and Antisemitism. There are plenty of Antisemites, Antiwar extremists and Trump haters out there that the Tucker bandwagon is preserved. Also in full disclosure, I am a bit of an Isolationist these believing the USA should begin disentangling itself foreign interests that has entangled in foreign conflicts that have little to do with American National Interests linked to America’s heritage. The Ukraine-Russia war is an idiotic war the USA should stay out of.
HOWEVER, the resurgence of evil Islam is a problem America should and must face as it affects our Liberty (as opposed to Sharia tyranny) and our Christian heritage (as opposed to Islamic Supremacism). ALSO, I’m a Christian Zionist. My Christian Zionism supports Israel’s existence simply because it is a sign that Jesus Christ will be Returning. Is Israeli politics perfect? No more than Deep State infected USA politics is perfect. Israel has its own share of Leftist extremists and Jewish Religious extremists that frankly are not always friendly to Christians.
BUT STILL God’s Promises to the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob lead to Jesus on the human side. And the Divine side of Jesus is a Promise to Return as King of Israel to both the descendants of Abraham and to the Gentiles engrafted into those Promises by faith in the Risen Savior. In the mean time will the government of Israel make mistakes? Undoubtedly! But guess what – so will also the divided government of the USA make mistakes. As Christians we MUST trust God and vote the BIBLE knowing in the END Christ the Redeemer wins and the enemies of God Almighty lose.
AND NOW! Pastor Brandon Holthaus on “A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)”.

Youtube VIDEO: A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)
Posted by Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield
Published Jul 3, 2026
Recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed J.D. Hall to discuss Christian Zionism, dispensational theology, Israel, and Bible prophecy. The conversation has generated significant discussion among Christians, raising important questions about God's covenant promises, the future of Israel, and the authority of Scripture.
In Part 1 of this special Prophecy Update series, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines the foundational claims made during the interview by comparing them directly with the Word of God.
Topics covered include:
• What is Christian Zionism?
• Did John Nelson Darby invent dispensationalism?
• Does God still have a future for national Israel?
• Are God's covenant promises unconditional?
• Why Genesis 12 and Genesis 15 are essential to understanding Bible prophecy.
• Why Christians must test every teaching by Scripture rather than personalities.
Rather than approaching these issues politically or emotionally, this study seeks to answer one question:
What does the Bible actually say?
Key Scriptures:
Genesis 12
Genesis 15
Ezekiel 36
Romans 11
Acts 17
2 Thessalonians 2
1 Timothy 4
2 Timothy 4
