The other non-mormon angle of US Zionism, has its roots in the Scofield Bible. The bible was published by Cyrus Scofield (another interesting character) who was a student of John Darby.
Darby created the idea of dispensationalism which basically posits that the Jews were not disinherited from Gods covenant due to their refusal to accept the Messiah. Rather, God maintained a special "dispensation" which would eventually culminate in the Jews taking over historical lands of Palestine and finally accepting Christ upon his 2nd coming.
This conflicts with the long held Catholic view that the modern Jews were the remnants of the sect who refused Gods New Covenant (Christ). In that view the land of Israel - although having historical significance due to it being the birthplace of Christ - holds no special place in Gods ongoing relationship with humanity.
Effectively Christians are the New Israel (ie. Christians are the Jews that accepted Gods Covenant) whereas the modern Jews are the sect that refused.

This is a straightforward reading and interpretation of Scripture

This is a very good breakdown.
I was speaking about Darby and the Scofield bible with a friend a couple weeks ago.

The Dam
Imagine a doctrine as a Dam — built long ago to hold back the chaotic waters of what was deemed misinformation.
Its walls were dogma, unyielding; its engineers declared:
“Doubt is a crack; questioning is a flood.”
For generations, the reservoir grew still, clear, and controlled.
No new streams allowed.
But the dam didn’t just stop pollution — it blocked the entire watershed,
starving the valley below of nutrients only wild rivers bring.
Progress wasn’t purified — it was penned in.
And the dam’s greatest fear?
Not the water, but the truth — that every river changes its own course.

The Christos gathers at the base—a coiled sun.
The old faith built a crystal conduit to channel the fire upward, aiming for a controlled implosion in the crown: a silent supernova of grace cascading back down the spine.
The new faith, fearing containment failure, re-routed the entire circuit outward. It chose the explosion: a prophetic shockwave scattering the light into a future timeline, saving the system by shattering the source.
Implode and become the vessel. Explode and become the map.
The voltage remains. The wiring is the war.
