Pete Hegseth, Trump’s new Secretary of Defense, is a religious 3rd Temple nut:
Hegseth in 2018, at the King David Hotel, telling his Israeli constituency to “buy a lottery ticket” for a “miracle” of rebuilding the Third Temple under “true believers”:

-The Trump election chocolate Bar is filling up rapidly with fruits and nuts:
A moving excerpt from Pete Hegseth's book, "American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free" (2020)
"Simply put: if you don’t understand why Israel matters and why it is so central to the story of Western civilization—with America being its greatest manifestation—then you don’t live in history. America’s story is inextricably linked to Judeo-Christian history and the modern state of Israel. You can love America without loving Israel—but that tells me your knowledge of the Bible and Western civilization is woefully incomplete. If you’re going to crusade, you need to know the totality of your mission.
This brief section is not intended to provide a full defense of Israel; but as an aspiring American Crusader, consider it homework. A great place to start, once again, is PragerU. Check out videos such as “Why Don’t You Support Israel?,” “Israel’s Legal Founding,” and “Why Does America Spend So Much on Israel?” After that, read A Durable Peace: Israel and Its Place Among the Nations by Benjamin Netanyahu. You’ll quickly realize the depth of connection among education, Israel, and Americanism.
If you love America, you should love Israel. We share history, we share faith, and we share freedom. We love free people, free expression, and free markets. And whereas America is blessed with two big, beautiful oceans to protect it, Israel is surrounded on all sides by countries that either used to seek, or still seek, to wipe the nation off the map.
The battle wages on Israeli soil as well. With each trip I take to Israel for FOX Nation, and on my personal time, I discover a new way in which Islamists and their leftist enablers seek to deny Jewish history and heritage. Today, Islamists in Jerusalem are attempting to claim that the Holy Temple built by King Solomon and rebuilt by Herod never existed. Apparently, they want us all to believe that Jews—from Abraham to Jesus—never sacrificed, built, or worshipped on that particular piece of real estate. “Temple denial” is yet another tool by which they seek to erase the Jews and the Jewish state. If that isn’t delusional enough, on a recent trip to Bethlehem—the birthplace of Jesus—I discovered that Palestinians now claim that Jesus was not in fact Jewish but instead a Palestinian. Try that one on for size—or watch my two FOX Nation documentaries on the subject: Battle in the Holy City and Battle in Bethlehem."

A Christian Zionist nutter indeed.
Christian Zionism by Stephen Sizer goes into the roots of Christian Zionism in detail and explains the eschatological significance of the rebuilding of the temple.

The major Christian innovation was the extension of the Judaic "gods chosen people" franchise to encompass the potentiality of all humanity: it's what made Christianity into a "Universal" religion rather than just a subcult of tutelary Judaism.
-Thats why there's really no such thing as common Judeo-Christian "values": the compass of the deity is just too different and there's certainly no such thing as a "Christian" Zionist. If they are Zionists they have rejected the universality of the Christian deity and returned to Jewish tribalism. The Jews don't want them of course, but they will take their money and votes.

Includes a segment on the Fox News host who is now Secdef, Hegseth where he is doing an imitation of Ben Gvir, quoting the bible to justify the erasure of the Palestinians.

As the guest (Walter Smolarek) says, I can't see the Pentagoons listening to this babbling botoxed bitch but it's still horrendous....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
