Christian Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I will start off by saying one benefit of Christian Zionism is that I've heard it brings more money into Israel from foreign Christian benefactors. Probably helps tourism as well.
Otherwise, what is your opinion of it? Y'know, the modern American Christian evangelical types that believe Israel is God's chosen people and all the prophecies are being fulfilled with the return to the land and some belief in an impending third temple on the way etc. going as far as John Hagee's own brand which says we mustn't preach to Jews because God will save them another way, etc.
Do you find all the evangelical love and affection for Israel a bit soppy, or is it admirable and mutual?
(Note: I am not a Christian Zionist myself)
