The following may be of interest.
On 29 June, 'Sunday' on Radio 4, first item, covered Israel's war on Gaza. It seems that some evangelicals believe the Lord's coming is linked to the fulfilment of Israel taking land and the warfare that is inevitable in the unHoly Land before Christ's return.
On the programme, an excellent woman, a former co-Chair of Kingston Liberal Synagogue and recently suspended from the Board of Deputies of British Jewish, spoke so well. She said she really loved Israel, was a proud Zionist but was deeply critical of the actions of the current government which was being governed by the extremists in the governing coalition. She said she is speaking up against the horrendous actions that are taking place in Gaza because of the extremist elements in the Israeli Coalition.
The evangelical Christian, Johnnie Moore is Executive Chair of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, Delaware, spoke to the BBC, as did the author of 'Before the Religious Right', Prof Gene Zubovich who said,
"Johnnie Moore is a protege of the religious right man Gerry Falwell. Moore believes in religious Zionism. Most evangelicals believe that the restoration of Israel/Palestine to the Jewish people must precede the Second Coming of Christ. The technical term for this is premillennial
"Johnnie Moore is very close to Donald Trump."
