36:35Now PlayingU.S. evangelical support for Israel has intertwined deep-seated theological beliefs with the geopolitics of the Middle East. Following the lethal October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel, evangelical groups like Christians United for Israel swiftly supported Israel's right to self-defense, guided by a “dispensational premillennialist” theology. This doctrine sees the gathering of Jews in Israel as a prelude to the end times, marked by Armageddon and Jesus Christ's second coming, a belief that gives the current conflict eschatological importance. Evangelical circles resonate with sentiments of prophetic fulfillment, as noted by historian Daniel Hummel. This war is seen as "prophetically significant" within these circles, which fervently cite scriptures as legitimizing Israel's responses. A direct quote from Christians United for Israel—"To the terrorists who have chosen this fight, hear this, what you do to Israel, god will do to you"—illustrates the intensity of this conviction. The blend of religious prophecy and foreign policy is evident, showing how faith-driven views can significantly impact U.S. foreign policy attitudes and decisions.
