Health Ranger Report: TJ Smith discusses biblical history, Zionism and the Semitic identity
- TJ Smith argues that Semitic lineage traces to Noah’s son Shem, not Ashkenazis (Japheth’s descendants). Palestinians may have deeper ancestral ties to the region than modern Israelis.
- The Scofield Bible, influenced by Rothschild-funded Zionism, distorts scripture to justify unconditional support for Israel – ignoring God’s conditional covenants.
- Christian Zionists contradict Christ’s teachings by supporting Palestinian oppression while claiming divine favor for Israel, even justifying suffering to hasten Christ’s return.
- Smith reiterates that Christians must study scripture in context, prioritizing Christ’s spiritual kingdom over political agendas, and align with justice and compassion.
- He also urged Christians to reject passive Rapture theology, confront injustice and embody Christ’s message through tangible action for peace and reconciliation.
Author and theologian TJ Smith joined the Health Ranger Mike Adams on the “Health Ranger Report” to touch on the intricate tapestry of biblical history, the concept of Semitic identity and the modern-day implications of Zionism – particularly concerning Israel and Palestine.
Smith began by unraveling the historical roots of the term “Semite,” tracing it back to Noah’s son Shem. He explained that the descendants of Shem, known as Shemites or Semites, are the true bearers of this identity. This lineage, according to the teacher and public speaker, is crucial in understanding the claims of modern-day Israel, which often asserts its right to the land based on being Semitic.
However, Smith argued that the majority of Israelis – particularly those of Ashkenazi descent – are not descendants of Shem, but rather of Japheth through Ashkenaz. Smith emphasized the importance of genealogical evidence, pointing out the lack of records to substantiate the claims of modern Israelis to Semitic ancestry.

He cited studies suggesting that Palestinians may have more ancient DNA linking them to the original inhabitants of the region. This challenges the narrative that Israelis are the rightful heirs to the land.
The conversation took a critical turn as Smith discussed the influence of Zionism and the Scofield Reference Bible. He alleged that the Scofield Bible, funded by the Rothschilds, has played a significant role in shaping Christian support for Zionism.
Smith argued that the Scofield Bible’s commentary – which often deviates from the original text – has misled generations of Christians into believing that supporting Israel is a divine mandate. “The Scofield Bible was designed to make Christians anemic, passive and to get them out of the way,” he told Adams. “And it has produced several generations of passive, ignorant Christians that don’t understand.”
Smith criticized the idea that God has an unconditional covenant with the modern state of Israel, highlighting the conditional nature of God’s covenants in the Bible. He believes that the Zionist interpretation of these covenants is a misinterpretation that has been propagated to justify the actions of the Israeli government.
The contradictions of modern Zionism
Adams and Smith explored the contradictions inherent in the modern Zionist movement. They questioned how a group claiming to be the chosen people of God can justify the displacement and suffering of another people, the Palestinians. Smith pointed out the hypocrisy of Christian Zionists who advocate for the protection of life in the womb but support the killing of Palestinians, arguing that this contradicts the core teachings of Christ.
The discussion also touched on the geopolitical implications of Zionism, with Smith suggesting that the actions of Israel, often backed by the United States, have contributed to instability in the Middle East.
He criticized the idea that the worse things get, the closer it brings the return of Christ, a belief held by some Christian Zionists. Smith found this notion troubling, as it seems to justify suffering and conflict.
Smith advocated for a rejection of Zionism and a return to the true teachings of Christianity. The author-blogger believes that Christians should focus on the spiritual kingdom that Christ spoke of, rather than getting entangled in the politics of the earthly state of Israel.
Smith emphasized the importance of understanding the Bible in its historical and cultural context. He urged Christians to study scripture more deeply to avoid being misled by interpretations that serve political agendas.
“The average Christian should know better,” he stressed. “They should study enough scripture to understand what’s going on and understand the biblical narrative.”
Adams and Smith agree that the teachings of Christ call for love, compassion and justice, values that are often at odds with the actions of the Israeli government. They call for a reevaluation of Christian support for Zionism, urging believers to align their actions with the principles of their faith.
The conversation concluded with a reflection on the role of Christians in the world. Smith emphasized the need for Christians to be a “light on a hill,” spreading the message of Christ and embodying his teachings. He criticized the passive stance of many Christians, who he believes have been lulled into inaction by the belief in the Rapture, a doctrine that Smith argues has been misinterpreted.
Smith encouraged Christians to engage with the world, to stand up against injustice and to support efforts that promote peace and reconciliation. He believes that true Christianity is about action, not just belief, and that Christians have a responsibility to be agents of change in the world.
