was supportive of the Israeli State... What do you think now.. A little confused?
You all should be ashamed for supporting this right wing war monger who now is publicly supporting a group trying to convert all Jews to the Christian Religion in order to prepare for the rapture.. They are freaking serious.

(58,162 posts)the methodists have always supported israel. the church`s problem with the state of israel is the treatment of the palestinian people.

Too bad the rest of America does not vote like the Jewish and Gay and African American communities do, there would be no Republicans holding any office anywhere.

(26,060 posts)all the rest of the evangelicals who "support" Israel - a useful idiot. Meanwhile, he didn't garner more of the Jewish vote than any other republican so you may want to remember that before accusing anyone of confusion.

(13,877 posts)death and destruction in the Middle East. They have a literal name for it...Armeggedon...and without it Jesus doesn't get to come back. Every unbeliever must die...except for 144,000 (exact number) Jews who must convert because if they don't, they go down you know where with the rest of the unbelieving globe.
Then the world goes Poof and the True Christians just look up in the sky and there will be Jesus with the ladder to bring them up free from the toils of the world they just blew up...or he comes down and then puts up the ladder.
This "chosen few", The Remnant... what they call Jews for Jesus, get to start over with Jesus as their King somehow on the throne in Jerusalem and have peace for 1000 years.
Needless to say, the Jews are not entirely comfortable with all of this. I think some of them find it hard to believe that the End-timers...or Pre-Trib ... or Post-Trib could really believe that stuff, let alone act on it.
They have an entire industry that cranks out legions of books about this. They make no secret of it. I thought I saw Terry Bradshaw on there...I put it on Mute.
They do not easily admit this end result to unbelievers, lots of double-talk until you are "one of them". They are a serious cult. They hope to ignite the ME. Iraq, Afghanistan up in smoke moving right along ...see why they love Bush and likely just paid him a small fortune to heh-heh for them? Iran and Syria not so much ...see why they hate Obama.
There are two classes...believers and non believers. That's it. Believers will live. Non-believers will be dead and go to hell. It is deadly serious for this group...Cruz and Palin are knee-deep in this stuff. Others, just not on You Tube.
But it's for all to see in the Book of Revelations...the final book of the Christian part of the Bible.
