Worshiping the state of Israel is a key element of Messianic Judaism


A Jewish person who becomes a Christian is known as a Messianic Christian practicing Messianic Judaism.   Messianic congregations consist mostly of non-Jewish believers shepherded by a Messianic Christian preacher ,and, acting out Judaism.  One of the key tenants of Messianic Judaism is the belief that the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.  For more background on Meessianic Judaism, listen to “The Judaizing Elements of the Messianic Movement” by Cesar Ahron, a Jewish convert to Christianity, who offers a constructive critique on the Messianic movement.
