The Holy Land Versus the Promised Land: Christian Zionism, Universal Zionism, and Israel’s Calling

45:18 Min. Listen

January 21, 2026

As Catholic and Orthodox Christian leaders in Jerusalem publicly denounce Christian Zionism, deep questions are emerging about theology, authority, and Israel’s place in God’s plan. In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed respond to the controversy and are joined by Rabbi Tuly Weisz, founder of Israel365, to discuss his new book Universal Zionism. Together, they explore the difference between viewing Israel as merely a political state or as the fulfillment of divine promise, revisit Pope John Paul II’s striking distinction between the Holy Land and the Promised Land, and ask what Israel’s mission means not only for Jews, but for Christians and the world. A timely conversation about covenant, responsibility, and Israel’s emerging role on the global stage.
