Recently, I have been hearing the word Christian Zionism being bandied about to label the Christian evangelical movement’s support for Israel. Some people seem to think Israel’s existence is due to this group’s support. I just read an article by Vox Day at WND that accurately describes my own view of this issue.
Obviously, Bible scholars are fascinated with what is going on in Israel. However, most Christians who support Israel do not see that their support really matters. God will do what He has planned to do regardless of what a segment of His church wants. He is running the show. The church moves to His direction, not the other way around.
What fascinates Christians who take the Bible seriously, is how easily God fulfills His prophecies even when it seems impossible. We (The Christian community) are just along for the ride.
