US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee declared at an international conference that the United States owes its very existence to Israel and its Jewish heritage. These remarks followed similar assertions by President Donald Trump, who claimed that Israel would not exist without his actions as president. Trump also commented on Israel’s conflict with Lebanon, suggesting an alternative approach involving Syria.
Veteran preacher John Hagee, a leader of the Christian Zionist movement, has linked the US military action in Iran to biblical prophecy and the End Times. This movement, comprising over 20 million Americans, fervently supports Israel due to its perceived role in fulfilling prophecy, believing the world is on the brink of apocalyptic events. Hagee’s organization, Christians United for Israel, has become a powerful lobby, influencing politicians and advocating for aggressive policies toward Iran. The article suggests that the zealotry of Christian Zionists, coupled with political expediency, has brought about a dangerous confrontation that could lead to a man-made apocalypse, rather than a divinely ordained one.
