The US, Israel And The Second Coming Of Christ

    Does the US support Israel because of a belief in the End Times Theology? Check out this article:

    Blumenthal opens the video by interviewing Tom Delay, who when asked how much the "Second Coming" plays into his support for Israel, says, "obviously, it's what I live for, I hope it comes tomorrow."

    Delay closed by saying, "we have to be connected to Israel to enjoy the second coming."

    While Hagee and others have stated that "End-Times" theology or eschatology plays no role in their support for Israel, the people Blumenthal interviewed tell a different story. Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Dore Gold, also claims that it plays no role and is not concerned with the apocalyptic undertones of such a group, claiming only the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad purports to want Armageddon.

    Blumenthal then interviews a string of conference-goers who explain how when Jesus returns all of the Jews will be "saved" after realizing the divinity of Christ. He also speaks to several people who say they are looking forward to Armageddon, because it will bring about the "cleansing of the earth."

    It is all a lie and a misunderstanding of the scriptures by "so called Christians", Evangelicals don't even understand the bible, they are lost man!

    The ancient nation of Israel discussed by the God of Israel in the bible has nothing to do with a man made state that hijacked the name of God's holy nation of the bible and put it on their state.

    In other words, the Israel of today, is not God's Israel.

    It is very very sad if indeed it is the reason why there is such great bias.

    I agree.. tho some suggest these things are said to appeal to the fundamentalist voters, but still a questionable sense of politics indeed.
