Christian Zionists Urge U.S. Support for Israel

SAN ANTONIO - As Israel celebrates its 60th birthday, the Reverend John Hagee says the Jewish state "has never been in greater danger."
Hagee, who heads Christians United for Israel, urged his fellow Christian Zionists in a conference call Tuesday to attend the organization's Israel Summit in Washington this July.
Hagee says Christians have a Biblical mandate to support the Jewish people and modern Israel, whose rebirth in 1948 he considers a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
Christians United for Israel board member Gary Bauer said he "can't think of any more important way for believers to spend their time" than to show their determination to "stand with Israel."
Board member Michael Little, president of the Christian Broadcasting Network, said the dangers threatening Israel reflect "what's happening in the invisible kingdom of spiritual warfare."
