Why do millions of American Evangelicals provide such powerhouse support for the State of Israel? This episode dives into the history of Christian Zionism, tracing its roots from an Anglo-Irish preacher in the 1830s to the massive political influence of organizations like Christians United for Israel today. We examine the mechanics of dispensationalism—a belief system that views modern geopolitical events as a countdown to the end times—and explore how this apocalyptic logic has moved from the church pews into the heart of U.S. foreign policy.
