That’s absurd. Dispensational Zionism did not exist until 1821. During the Puritan era, the vast majority of JEWS were not even Zionists (like, almost none), let alone Puritans. The Puritans were Covenantalists and viewed themselves as Zion, and America as the New Jerusalem. Remember the American history books? John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christi Charity” famously declared that their colony would be “a city upon a hill,” echoing Christ’s words in Matthew 5, not a literal mountain in Judea. The Puritans interpreted their own history through Scripture, but never confused themselves with the biological seed of Abraham. They saw the Church (especially in the New World) as the continuation of Israel. Thomas Goodwin wrote that “the covenant made with Abraham was the covenant of grace, which takes in all believers, both of Jews and Gentiles.” John Owen insisted that “the promises made to Abraham are fulfilled in the Gospel, and not to any carnal seed.” Richard Sibbes declared that the Church is “the true Israel of God.” None of them expected an earthly restoration of Jewish political power. They interpreted prophetic promises as fulfilled in the spread of the gospel and the dominion of Christ’s kingdom, not in a reborn Levantine state. Salem Massachusetts was named after Jeru-Salem. Canaan, Connecticut; Bethel, Maine; Shiloh, New Hampshire; Zion Hill, Connecticut; Mount Zion, Pennsylvania; Hebron, Massachusetts; and Goshen, Connecticut. SOUND FAMILIAR? The Cambridge Platform ruling charter of 1648 referred to themselves as “the Israel of God.” The Puritans believed that in a display of God’s power that many Jews would be saved in the Last Days, showing his power by saving the most cursed, stubborn people on Earth. Not because they were in Covenant with God, but to bring them in Covenant through Christ. Please stop saying dumb stuff.

Tucker might want to spend less time with the Quran and more time with the Bible. So for the 100th time, here is biblical proof, historical proof both Catholic and Protestant that he is lying. On purpose. To push an agenda. One that is at odds with the Bible. To say the Jews are not God’s chosen people is not just wrong. It is a denial of what the Bible clearly teaches, and it shows a failure to understand the foundations of Christianity itself. In the Old Testament, God declares Israel’s chosenness beyond dispute. Deuteronomy 7:6 says, “The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” In Genesis 17:7, God tells Abraham, “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you.” Everlasting means permanent. Jeremiah 31:36 makes the point in even stronger terms: “Only if the sun, moon, and stars vanish will Israel ever cease to be a nation before me.” If the stars are still shining tonight, then Israel’s covenant still stands. The New Testament affirms this truth just as clearly. Paul raises the question in Romans 11:1, “Did God reject his people?” His answer is immediate: “By no means! God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.” Later in Romans 11:28–29 he writes, “As far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.” Irrevocable means exactly what it says. No commentator, pundit, or modern voice has the authority to reverse what God Himself has declared. Jesus said in John 4:22, “Salvation is from the Jews.” That is not a side note. It is central to understanding who He is and how God’s plan unfolds. Christianity does not replace Israel. It is joined to Israel. Paul explains this in Romans 11:17–18 when he warns Gentile believers not to boast against Israel: “You, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others… do not consider yourself superior to those other branches.” The Church shares in the promises given to Israel, but those promises remain rooted in the people to whom God first gave them. Church history confirms what Scripture teaches. The early Fathers acknowledged Israel’s election. The Catholic Catechism teaches that “to the Jews belong the covenants, the law, the worship, the promises, and from them is the Christ” (CCC 839–840). Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate solemnly declared that God’s covenant with the Jewish people has never been revoked. Protestant voices like John Calvin, commenting on Romans 11, also affirmed that God did not cut off His covenant with Abraham’s descendants. So when Tucker Carlson claims the Jews are not God’s chosen people, he is not correcting elites or offering a bold insight. He is simply revealing that he does not understand basic Christianity. The Bible is plain, the teaching of the apostles is plain, and the witness of the Church through history is plain. God’s covenant with Israel is everlasting, His gifts and His call are irrevocable, and Christians are grafted into that truth. As Paul put it in Romans 11:29: “God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Anyone who denies that is not defending the faith. They are contradicting it at its root. And when Tucker dares to speak as if he knows whom God has chosen, his arrogance knows no bounds.
