Christian Zionism
Christian Zionism refers to a movement within Christianity which supports the state of Israel based on the
belief that the creation of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Christian Zionists believe Israel's creation,
and the eventual restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem (where the Dome of the Rock mosque currently lies) are
prophecied events which must be fulfilled prior to the the Second Coming of Christ. This belief system is popular
with many of the religious right in the USA, particularily in fundamentalist and evangelical Protestant churches.

[edit]

Christian Zionism in the United States is strongly related to dispensationalism and belief that we are living in the
End Times. Christian Zionism was popularized in the 19th century by C. I. Scofield[wp] and his annotated Bible,
which became a fundamental work in the development of Christian Zionism and dispensationalism. Hal Lindsey's
1970 book, The Late Great Planet Earth proposed that Armageddon would result from a final conflict between the
Soviet Union and Israel. In 1981, Jerry Falwell said, "To stand against Israel is to stand against God. We believe
that history and scripture prove that God deals with nations in relation to how they deal with Israel", prooftexting this to Genesis 29:21.
