He argues that the preoccupation with a geopolitical Israel is a "pre-Pentecost" mindset—one that the Apostles themselves moved past once they were filled with the Holy Spirit. In this episode, we explore: ✅ The "Cure" of Pentecost: Why the disciples stopped asking about the national restoration of Israel after Acts 1. ✅ The Ancient Church Perspective: Why the 2,000-year-old apostolic churches of Jerusalem recently labeled Christian Zionism a "harmful ideology." ✅ Types and Shadows: How the Temple, the Land, and the Davidic Throne find their ultimate "Amen" in the person of Jesus Christ.   A Critique of Dispensationalism: Analyzing the 19th-century origins of the Scofield/Darby system and its influence on modern figures like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee.   Leighton poses a challenging question: Is modern dispensationalism simply rabbinic Judaism with a "Jesus bumper sticker"?
