Update on the Lunatic Fringe
SAVE ISRAEL FOR JESUS???
July 31, 2006 — Sunday morning at Robinson Drive Methodist Church in Waco, Texas, the Rev. Margaret Stratton tells her 200 attendees that no one should be surprised by the lead story in the morning news, as the crisis was developing in the Middle East.
"What is happening in Israel today with their neighbors is prophesied in the Bible. The whole world should understand the reason for the conflict in the Middle East," she said, adding this has all been foretold.
It is a sermon that takes root among Christians.
The end of times, as foretold in the scriptures, is a theological reason to support Israel unconditionally so as to help bring about the return of Jesus Christ.
This is not one lone evangelical church that supports this idea. According to polls among religious groups in the United States, evangelical Christians — which constitute about a quarter of the American people — are second only to Jews in their support for Israel.
Taking the Cause to Washington
Earlier this month, as the conflict in northern Israel and Lebanon heated up, roughly 3,500 evangelical Christians descended upon Washington, DC from all 50 states as part of a new group called "Christians United for Israel".
Members like Gwen and Dean Resser from St Louis, Mo., urged lawmakers to let Israel do what is necessary to defend itself in its current conflict.

"If you support Israel, you will be blessed, and if you don't support Israel, you will be cursed," Dean Resser added.
"When the messiah comes we will ask him if he coming or returning and that would establish if we would all be Jews of Christians," Ayalon said. "Until he comes, I don't worry myself about this."
And until that day, Israel will be able to depend upon Christians from Waco to Washington for unconditional support.
This story is absolute insanity and worship of the god of destruction and death at it's best.
