American Evangelicals Unite in Support of Israel Amidst Attacks
American evangelicals, particularly conservative Christians, have a strong connection to Israel based on their interpretation of scripture and beliefs about biblical promises and prophecy. They see Israel's existence as tied to biblical prophecies about the end times and the establishment of a divine theocratic kingdom on earth. This support is not just political, as many American Christians visit Israel as pilgrims and feel intense spiritual, cultural, and political connections to the region. However, younger evangelicals are less likely to view news events in Israel through the lens of biblical prophecy, and the grip of apocalyptic prophecies on the evangelical imagination is declining in some corners.
