Here is a prophecy that directly that we can learn from, for it directly relates to Christian Zionists and their unjust support of Israel
Isaiah 1 New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]
“The multitude of your sacrifices— what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
[SUP]
12 [/SUP]When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts?
[SUP]
13 [/SUP]Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP]Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being.
They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP]When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.[SUP][a][/SUP]
Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP]“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]
but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]See how the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water.
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]
Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes
and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]I will turn my hand against you;[SUP]
[b] [/SUP]I will thoroughly purge away your dross
and remove all your impurities.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”
[SUP]
27 [/SUP]Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish.
[SUP]
29 [/SUP]“You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen.
[SUP]
30 [/SUP]You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water.
[SUP]
31 [/SUP]The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.”
