A week into one of the most severe crises the Middle East has seen in years, Israel is getting an influx of support from an unusual source. More than 3,400 evangelical Christians have arrived in Washington to lobby lawmakers as part of the first annual summit of Christians United for Israel.
Delegates have come from all 50 states and have 280 meetings on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Pastor John Hagee said.
“For the first time in the history of Christianity in America, Christians will go to the Hill to support Israel as Christians,” he said.
The thousands of Christians in Washington – who came and are staying at their own expense – will be urging the US government “not to restrain Israel in any way in the pursuit of Hamas and Hezbollah”, he said.
“We want our Congress to make sure that not one dime of American money goes to support Hamas and Hezbollah or the enemies of Israel.” CONTINUE
Absolutely…
Israel was given by G-D to his people and he changes not.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our G-d…Psalm 20-7
I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised: so I shall be saved from mine enemies…Psalm 18-3
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me…Psalm 18-17
He changes not, and Israel is the apple of his eye, he will deliver his people from their peril.
Praise the lord…
