There’s more than a few Israelis who are willing to overlook Christian fundamentalists’ belief in the End Times and apocalyptic beliefs that Jews must convert/be perfected and that Israel fits into their prophesies because they think this is support for the Jewish State that they need. It’s a devil’s bargain, and these are some of the consequences.

Trump’s support includes more than a few of these End Times extremists whose support for Israel is not based on support for Jews but on the need of Jews to fulfill their End Times body count so they can get themselves Raptured.

Trump’s ideas meld perfectly with evangelical apocalyptic expectations as the battle of Armageddon nears. He promises to seize power and to use it for them. He claims he would restore religious liberty to evangelicals. He would prohibit Muslims from entering the country. He would defend Israel at all costs. He would fight abortion by adding conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. He would rebuild the American military. He would destroy the nation’s enemies. He would keep individual citizens well-armed and prepared for battle.

This is a man, in other words, who is not just seeking to beat Clinton. He is seeking to wage a real-world battle against evangelicals’ enemies and a spiritual battle against the Antichrist.

And this is why Amedia tells all who will listen that to support Trump is to ensure that the United States “stays under the favor of God.” To refuse to support Trump, then, is to defy God.

If Armageddon is coming, and many evangelicals believe it is, there can be no one better to lead the United States than Donald Trump.

Amedia is Frank Amedia, who is Trump’s liason for Christian policy. He thinks Trump’s going to herald in the Second Coming.

And guess what - that’s not good for Jews or Israel (which would have to be destroyed to fulfill the beliefs). So tell me again how any of this benefits Jews or Israel.
