The debate of "Christ is King" has divided the Right, distracting many from the more nefarious anti-Jewish ambitions of antagonistic conservative influencers. "Christ is King" is to the Woke Right what "BLM" is to the Woke Left, a widely accepted statement which, on the surface, is a truth that distracts from the more radical underpinnings of the movements they represent. When Jesus was crucified, above his head, the Romans placed a sign reading, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:21). As Christians, we accept the theological validity of this statement, much like Christ is King, but the motive of the Romans was not to validate who Christ said He was, but to mock Him. In the same way, "Christ is King" has surged in popularity since the state of Israel's war in Gaza-- the motive in declaring this statement is not a declaration of faith but a condemnation of the Jews, Israel, and Zionists. Influencers such as Candace Owens, whose anti-Zionism has paralleled her conversion to Catholicism, display a deep hate for the Jews that is deeply flawed and seems to reveal her new theological worldview. The cowardice of hiding behind a true theological statement such as "Christ is King" to then also infer that God has replaced the Jewish people and His covenant with the Church is something all Christians should outwardly condemn. Candace's appeal to a victim narrative has garnered her sympathy and followers who are outraged by the idea that Jews have created a carefully crafted campaign to silence Christians. "Christ is King" as a movement can be placed within the larger context of Candace's channel and recent anti-Jewish conspiracies, which have rewritten history to place the Jews at the center of every war and catastrophe as the evil antagonist.
