"'"Christian support for Israel is hardly a new "phenonemon".'"
(FB) "This is correct. I too was wondering where the author of the article had been. I've been listening to pro-Israel Christian preachers since early childhood. President Reagan was very much in tune with Christian preachers who were pr-Israel."
Zionist Conspirator: "It goes back a lot further than Ronald Reagan."
ZC, my "early childhood" goes back a lot further than Ronald Reagan's political days. I was stating that it was a characteristic of his thinking.
I have articles in my possession written by Jews in England long before 1884, speaking of establishing their homeland in the Abrahamic/Davidic land. They were compiled among writings of Premillennial Christian prophetic writers who were publiching journals of their conferences from 1884 to 1915. They speak of Jewish settlements as far east as Shanghai, China being in existance in that day. MOST interesting.
The Niagara Prophecy Conferences held in Niagara, NY in the 1870's had a similar theme. And of course anti-Zionists love to cite John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren as the "inventors" of chr*stian Zionism, but as I said, even Increase Mather back in the seventeenth century had written a book entitled The Mystery of Israel's Salvation that insisted that Israel's rejection of J*sus did not end G-d's covenent with them. Unfortunately his son Cotton, who was raised with this belief, later rejected it.
