There are groups who believe that converting Jews will speed up the rapture. I have a friend whose daughter was targeted by a school club with a teacher as a sponsor who encouraged this crap. My friend was on the board of our Temple at the time and it was not long before the ADL visited this school and alerted the district about this crap. This club was quickly disbanded.

TFG and Deathsantis likes messianic Jews who are not considered to be Jews by all regular Jewish congregations

Root, however, is a messianic Jew, or as he's described himself in the past, a "Jew turned evangelical Christian."

Writing for Haaretz, Kaplan says that before Trump, no U.S. president would have endorsed a messianic Jew as someone to speak for American Jews.

Every Jewish denomination has rejected the assertion that ethnic Jews who accept Jesus as the Jewish Messiah and the son of God remain Jewish. Many regard the concept of Messianic Judaism as a manipulative method of proselytizing and converting Jews to Christianity. The battle over whether Messianic Jews – also known as “Jews for Jesus” – should be permitted to immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return has been waged for decades in Israeli courts.
...
But Trump and his White House, which is more enthusiastically supported by and closely bound to evangelical Christian organizations than any preceding administration, hasn’t hesitated to include and embrace Messianic Jews, who are part of that evangelical community. While there is no data on the specific voting patterns of Messianic Jews, anecdotal evidence that they hew to the same political views as their evangelical fellow travellers points to the fact that they are among the most “loyal” Jews Trump can find.


Kaplan goes on to point out that during a meeting with 40 evangelical pastors and televangelists back in 2015, among the group praying for then-candidate Trump was Messianic Rabbi Kirt Schneider. In a now-infamous video of the group laying their hands on Trump in prayer, Schneider places his hand on Trump’s face and declares, “The only two nations that have ever been in a relationship with God are Israel and the United States of America.”

DeathSantis is following in TFG's footprints
