Why Tucker Carlson might actually be helping rebuild the Third Temple…Yes, really.

Recently, Tucker Carlson went on a rant suggesting that Chabad-Lubavitch is pushing the war with Iran to help rebuild the Third Temple. Talk about Jewish influence. Sound familiar? For centuries, Jews were accused of secretly controlling the world. Different century. Same conspiracy. But here’s where Jewish history gets interesting. When the world starts obsessing over the Jewish role in redemption, something deeper may be unfolding.

The coming of the Moshiach isn’t fringe theology. It’s one of the 13 Principles of Faith codified by Maimonides: “I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah. Even if he delays, I await him every day.”

For nearly a thousand years, Jews have recited this daily. So, hate to break it to you, Tucker, but Chabad did not invent this idea. Jewish tradition speaks about the rebuilding of the Third Temple, as hope and the ultimate goal: to make this world a dwelling place for G‑d.

So when people start loudly talking about Jewish redemption, even in distorted ways, they may unknowingly be amplifying the very conversation they fear. Because Jewish belief has never been secret. We pray for redemption. We teach our children about redemption.

We are living in a world where Purim is playing out, where everything feels twisted and confused, where G‑d seems hidden and nowhere to be seen. But as we know, G‑d is everywhere, orchestrating everything. So, without even realizing it, Tucker Carlson, your words are inadvertently helping the world hear about it. Well… that’s one unexpected way to help bring Moshiach.
