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

Intro to ‘Antisemitism And Vitriol For Israel: One Of The Most Distinguishing Signs Of Our Time’

Intro by John R. Houk, Blog Editor

Intro © July 8, 2026

 

Just as I see a rise in readership, I see a post on Antisemitism that I have no doubt will again cull Jew-Hater readers who embrace Conservatism yet hate Israel and Jews. (H/T: Prophecy Update). The post I read is from the Christian website Harbinger’s Daily. There author Jonathan Brentner briefly examines the Biblical origins of Zionism and then builds a case against the (so-called) Christian Anti-Zionist case that despise the existence of modern Israel on Biblical terms.

 

If you are the typical Antisemite, you might as well skip this read. My experience is the typical Jew-hater is so blinded by hate-ideology, they have on preconditioned blinders in regard to the full Biblical context on Jews.

 

If you are a Biblical-minded Christian, you will probably appreciate Brentner’s reasoning. Even so, do your own Bible reading. A wise Bible teacher once advised, “Be as smart as a cow and eat the good hay and spit out the indigestible sticks.”

Antisemtism [sic] And Vitriol For Israel: One Of The Most Distinguishing Signs Of Our Time

It’s everywhere. We hear it on popular news channels. Its anthem rings out in the halls of the US Congress. Most churches, many knowingly and others unwittingly, promote it.

 

The steadily intensifying antisemitism of our day points to the reality of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period. It’s one of the more distinguishing signs of our time because it aligns with so many prophecies that predict hatred for Israel and the Jews during the last days. In Zechariah 8:13, the Lord foretold what we see today along with His promise to dramatically reverse the fortunes of the Jewish people: “And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”

 

What we see today fulfills the first part of these words from the Lord. Those inside and outside the church who attack Israel, however, overlook the Lord’s promise that after the hatred and cursing, He will save Israel and cause it to be a blessing to the nations.

 

It will be one of the greatest plot twists of all time, rivaling what the account recorded in Esther with its radical change of direction, with its most unexpected outcome.

 

God’s promise in Zechariah 8:13 underscores the misunderstanding—and even unbelief—of those who attack us as “Zionists” because we believe the Lord will someday fulfill His promise to restore a kingdom to Israel. The accusations of today’s anti-Zionists continue the world’s cursing of the Jewish people while at the same time, they deny the Lord’s promise that He will not only save the Jewish people, but will also make them a “blessing” to the nations. Read Zechariah 8:20-23 for the details of how the Jewish people will bless the nations during the Millennium.

 

What is Zionism?

 

Let’s dig deeper into the term bantered about by those who call us “Zionists” as though it were a derogatory word.

 

In God’s Word, Zion often refers to the highest summit in Jerusalem commonly known as “Mount Zion.” At other times, the term denotes the entire City of David.

 

The Psalms designate Zion as the location of Jesus’ future reign over all the nations. In Psalm 2:6, God declares, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” Later in the Psalms, we again read of the Lord’s exalted place on Mount Zion during His future reign over the nations: “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.” (Psalm 48:1-3)

 

The close biblical connection between Mount Zion and Israel’s prominent place in Jesus’ future kingdom is not lost on our opponents. They regard the Jewish people, including those living in modern-day Israel, as wholly unworthy of such a future blessing. Satan’s lies concerning the current Jewish state fuel this hatred, which has sadly seeped into many churches.

 

Many of today’s anti-Zionists believe they have successfully refuted the central tenets of Premillennialism by pointing to the current wayward condition of Israel. They argue that Israel’s present unbelief demonstrates the nation’s unworthiness to occupy a prominent place in Jesus’ future kingdom. In doing so, however, they overlook two vital biblical truths:

 

First, Scripture teaches that in the years leading up to the seven-year Tribulation, the seventieth week of Daniel, Israel would exist in a state of unbelief. And this is exactly what we see today. The Bible tells us that the Lord will use this future seven-year period to bring a remnant of the Jewish people to saving faith in Jesus (Zechariah 12:10-13:8). No one believes that the Israel of today is ready to receive the glories of the promised kingdom, but God is not yet finished with His people. Is that not true of all redeemed saints as well?

 

Second, the fulfillment of God’s promises to His people, whether it be Israel or us as believers, has never depended on any worthiness in those who receive His many blessings, never, never. If it did, as New Testament saints we would be a whole lot of trouble because we, too, are wholly unworthy to receive anything promised to us in Scripture. Our hope rests solely in Jesus, in what He promises us in His Word.

 

God Loves Zion

 

There’s another fundamental problem for those who use “Zionism” as though it were a curse word in our day; they pit themselves against God Himself, who clearly loves Zion. Each time I read through the Psalms, I’m amazed by the many references to God’s great affection for this hill within Jerusalem, such as we read in Psalm 87:1–3: “On the holy mount stands the city he founded; the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah” (emphasis added)

 

The following verses also speak to God’s passion for Zion: “For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.” (Psalm 132:13-14, emphasis added)

 

Today’s hatred for Israel, which has sadly infiltrated many of today’s churches, reflects the acceptance of worldly wisdom over the clear promises of Scripture. It is precisely what the Apostle Paul warns believers about in Colossians 2:1-8, that of regarding false “plausible arguments” as truth, ones that lead believers away from the wisdom contained in God’s Word. He summed up his counsel in verse 8:

 

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

 

Don’t fall for the worldly wisdom that causes so many in our day to denounce those whom God has chosen and to whom He has promised a glorious restoration. Don’t allow such thinking to “take you captive,” instead, thank Him for His great mercy and grace by which He keeps His promises to all His people, including us!

 

Someday, the Lord will surely rescue and cause Israel to be a blessing to the nations, just as He promised in Zechariah 8:13. The Lord Jesus will rule the world from Mount Zion, count on it.
