Why do so many religious right wingers have such a hard-on over Israel?

Great American ally in a hostile region? Yes.

Stabilizing bulwark of western values amid the clusterfrick of Islam? Yes.

Key to fulfillment of some weird escatological prophecy as interpreted by goofy evangelical pastors? Ummmm.... no. I just don't freaking get it.

They want to bring about the rapture, and two of the pre-requisites to it is re-establishment of the nation of Israel under Jewish control and the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon on the Temple Mount.

They believe they will be saved in the rapture, so they want the end of days to happen as soon as possible.

I'm just curious as to what part of their faith leads them to this. Typically, reverence for Israel is held by evangelical Protestants, who are almost entirely sola scriptura. The odd thing is that I don't find any justification or reasoning in the Bible that would lead to support of Israel.

It's the Holy Land. I love Israel and the Levant in general. Our history is there. Why are you anti-semetic, OP?

Probably eschatological and based on revelation.

Maybe because the last time leftist didn't want to stand up for the jews, a world war kicked off and millions of good people died.

It's definitely eschatological, but I don't see anything in Revelation (granted, it's my least favorite book in the Bible simply because it's weird and cryptic as frick) that lends itself to bizarro Zionism.

Left wingers as well as the alt rightvNazis hate the Jewish people. Left wing conmies and Bannon neo nazis. We can’t trust either one.

Control Jerusalem, you can control the Temple mount. Rebuild the Temple mount, and it leads to the Book Of Revelations playing out and the end times.


In their heads, at least.
