This marks the first time a major Western media platform has amplified anti-Israel religious disinformation specifically targeting the Church of Nativity - one of Christianity's most sacred sites. The combination of Orthodox religious authority, social media reach, and strategic timing during heightened Middle East tensions creates an unprecedented threat to Jerusalem's religious stability.

📰 What Happened
Tucker Carlson interviewed Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos, a Russian Orthodox nun operating a Palestinian girls' convent school in Jerusalem, who made controversial claims about Christian persecution in Israel. The interview, titled 'Christian Zionism Is Killing Christians in the Holy Land,' references a 2002 incident where Palestinian gunmen seized the Church of Nativity for 39 days. Historical records show Mother Agapia previously spread false accusations about IDF conduct during Operation Defensive Shield, including claims of military looting and vandalism of religious sites.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Jerusalem's religious sites, particularly the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, hold crucial prophetic significance as focal points of end-times deception. The 39-day siege by Palestinian gunmen mirrors the prophesied 42-month period of Jerusalem's trampling (Revelation 11:2). Mother Agapia's position at a Jerusalem convent provides religious legitimacy to anti-Israel narratives, fulfilling warnings about false teachers arising from within religious institutions (2 Peter 2:1). The strategic timing of Tucker Carlson's platform amplifying these claims aligns with prophecies about worldwide deception regarding Jerusalem's status (Zechariah 12:3).
