Researcher Adam Green reveals Fox News “analyst” and Donald Trump’s Defense Secretary appointee Pete Hegseth is a “[redacted]-first sellout,” “war hawk,” “neocon,” and “Third Temple cultist” who “wants war with Iran and Russia.”
Hegseth says he is a “Christian Zionist” who believes Jesus will “return” once the “Third Temple” is built where the Dome of the Rock, also called the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, now sits on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem.
“Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense has also sparked controversy among the military. The 44-year-old Fox News host and Army National Guard who will be heading the Pentagon has been described by Paul Rieckhoff (founder of Independent Veterans of America) as “the least qualified nominee for SecDef in American history.”.(Uriel Araujo, Global Research)

(Never mind that historians like Richard Carrier have found no substantial evidence Jesus ever existed or that any Bible stories are true.)
Trump and many congress members also say they want to build the Third Temple.
Philip Giraldi notes:
Perhaps the most demented of [Trump’s appointees] is also is the individual in the most potentially threatening position, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth is a journalist with FOX news with one observer noting that he has never managed any organization larger than his three wives and five children prior to his upgrade to the $1 trillion budgeted 2.9 million Pentagon employees.
Even by Christian Zionist standards, he might well be considered to be an extremist.
An excerpt from Hegseth’s book, American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free(2020) includes:
“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 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.”

These architectural ambitions could be harmless enough, like constructing a Methodist kindergarten, except religious authorities claim that when the Third Temple is built, the Messiah (Moshiach) will come and enslave or kill all gentiles.
Christians like Hegseth and Messianic rabbis like Jonathan Cahn say they believe this messiah will be Jesus, who will “rapture” believers into the sky “to meet Him in the air.”
Others including some Orthodox Jews say the messiah will be someone else, not Jesus.
Regardless, around when the messiah presents himself to the world, a massive war will kill two-thirds of the world’s population, rabbis claim.

Preachers like Cahn and John Hagee (video below) urge us to welcome these wars while kicking back and munching popcorn, on the grounds the ensuing destruction is inevitable fulfillment of “prophecies.”

Annex
Below is an excerpt from a Wikipedia article on Pete Hegseth:
Peter Brian Hegseth (born June 6, 1980) is an American television presenter, author, and Army National Guard officer who is the nominee for United States Secretary of Defense in Donald Trump‘s second cabinet. A political commentator for Fox News since 2014 and weekend co-host of Fox & Friends from 2017 to 2024, he was previously the executive director of Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America.
Hegseth has been active in conservative and Republican politics since his undergraduate days at Princeton University. In 2016, he emerged as a supporter of Donald Trump‘s presidential candidacy and served as an occasional advisor to Trump throughout the latter’s first term as president. He reportedly persuaded Trump to pardon three American soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes related to the shooting of non-combatants in Iraq. Hegseth, who was a platoon leader at Guantanamo Bay during his military service, defended the treatment of inmates detained there.[1]
