Christian Support For Israel

Meetings took place today between Evangelical Christian leaders and Knesset(Israeli parliament) members. Pastors and leaders from around the world confirmed their support for Israel and stated that millions of Evangelical Christians pray constantly for the Jewish state. However in a “new development” some participants to the meeting not only provided spiritual support but also material support in the form of men to fight.

“We see Israelis as our spiritual mothers and fathers. It’s an honor for us to be here,” Pastor Norman Miller of Australia.

A delegate from Africa said: “We have soldiers in Africa, not just spiritual soldiers, but those who even want to come and fight with you.”

“Around the world, we see the rise of radical Islam come against our Judeo-Christian values, and we must meet it with a well organized response,” Josh Reinstein, Director of the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus. (Source: YNetNews.com)

However even after the glowing words and tributes there is concern amongst many of the Jewish faith that Evangelical Christians are only “eyeing-up” the state of Israel from the perspective of future converts. How much of this concern is founded upon reality can only be answered by Evangelical Christians themselves.

Anyone who reads European history will find this current rapprochement between members of Christianity and Judaism rather strange. Christians have been killing, raping and looting Jews for at least the last 1000 years. Vilified in popular European Christian culture, expelled from many states in Europe, persecuted as the killers of Christ and targeted by violence which culminated in the Holocaust and murder of 6 million Jews. The history of Christianity and Judaism living together is not a pretty one. Many of these crimes were committed with the sanction of the Christian Church. Therefore I say that there maybe something more to this alliance then just mutual respect and love. Maybe Evangelic Christians are not as altruistic as they may want all of us to believe.
