"We want you to recognize that Iran is a clear and present danger to the United States of America and Israel. And... that it's time for our country to consider a military pre-emptive strike against Iran if they will not yield to diplomacy," says Pastor John Hagee, a popular television preacher and head of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), an organization that he founded in February 2006.
That was said, of all places, on the steps of the Capitol during a Christian Zionist summit in July 2007. Among some 4,500 listeners, there were prominent representatives of the U.S. ruling elite: on the Republican side, presidential candidate John McCain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and former Republican House majority leader Tom DeLay; among the Democrats, Senator Joseph Lieberman was in attendance. Israel was represented at the rally by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"When 50 million American evangelicals unite with 5 million American Jews, you know it is a match made in heaven," the preacher said. In response, Sen. Lieberman said of the preacher: "I would describe Pastor Hagee with the words the Torah uses to describe Moses: he is an ‘Eesh Elo Kim,' a man of God because those words fit him; and, like Moses he has become the leader of a mighty multitude in pursuit of and defense of Israel."
Who are the "Christian Zionists"? They are a variety of Protestant "fundamentalists" who interpret current events literally as prophesies fulfilled, in accordance with Biblical prophecy, and interpret the prophetic texts as describing inevitable future events. They prefer the most literal interpretation, as proposed back in the 19th century by Briton John Darby, who said there would be no Second Coming of Christ until the Jews returned to the Holy Land.
When Israel was "recreated" in Palestine in 1948, the Darby followers came to the conclusion that that had happened exactly "according to the Scripture." Literalists like Hagee have since continued to replace historiography with theology. From these theological "heights," they imagine themselves to be political strategists and rulers of destinies in the world: after all, "in accordance with the Scripture," Abraham's posterity should possess the entire Holy Land - from Mesopotamia to Turkey to Egypt."
