Wasn't aware of that...Guess I'll have to reconsider my new affiliation...
What we American premillenialists believe is that the US is not finished with the nation of Israel. That has absolutely nothing to do with avoiding foreign entanglements and defending our nation.
Baldwin said:
To be sure, not all believers agree on the subject of Israel. Christians are divided between pre-millennialism, post-millennialism, and even amillennialism. For the most part, pre-millennialists (such as me) believe that God will yet fulfill the Davidic Covenant with the nation of Israel. Post-millennialists, on the other hand, believe that the Church, which is the Body of Christ, is the complete fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham and David.
What does this say about Romney?

For decades the Mormon Church has been trying to extend its influence and activities in Arab countries; it has consistently been rejected. Now, paradoxically, the Mormons have been given a new opportunity by an unlikely ally, the State of Israel. It is fair to assume the Church will use its vast, deluxe, Brigham Young University Study Center in Jerusalem as a base for its missionary operations throughout the entire region.
“It’s unfortunate that we, as Church members, so often have a pro-Israel bias. We’ve been blinded to the rights of the Arab Palestinian people,” said David Galbraith, director of the BYU program in Israel, and president of the Israeli branch of the International Mission of the Mormon church. “Eventually we have to take the gospel to the Arabs and the Jews and we won’t succeed if we are politically one-sided.”
Until a few years ago, the United Palestinian Appeal, a funding front for the PLO, was directed by a Mormon bishop, Omar Kader. The founder and original director is an advisor to the PLO representative at the United Nations and publishes AlFajir, a pro-PLO newspaper. The current director is Bashara Bajbah, a pro-PLO advocate and, like Kader, a faculty member at BYU. Bajbah also has close ties to AlFajir.
A high ranking Mormon, Orin Parker, has been the director of AMIDEAST, and is one the board of ANERA, anti-Israel organizations that have been identified by the Anti-Defamation League and the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee as part of a “campaign to discredit Israel” through Arab propaganda in America.
