Evangelical lobbies constitute the second part of our article series titled "Zionist Structure in the USA: Jewish and Evangelical Organizations". Although Christians mainly has an opposing position with the Jews over the crucifixion of Jesus, the difference in the Messianic understanding of the Evangelists, that is, the Christian Zionists, causes them to share the same goals on Palestine with the Jews. According to the belief system of the evangelists, it is necessary for Jesus to come back to earth, and with Armageddon, Almighty God's kingdom centered in Jerusalem must be established. Because, according to their belief, in such a case, Paradise will be given to them. That's why the Evangelists, who support the Zionists' ambitions on Palestine, are lobbying in favor of Israel in the USA.
WHO ARE THE LEADING NAMES OF EVANGELISTS?
While Evangelists, that is, Zionist Christians, are seen as the most important power of the Israeli regime in the USA, and among the leading figures of this movement there are media mogul Pat Robertson, Christian clergy such as Jerry Falwell and John Hagee, and prominent politicians such as Tom Delay and Richard Armey. The course of Evangelicalism in the USA, whose foundations were laid in England in the 19th century, also begins on these dates. It is known that William Eugene Blackstone, a wealthy evangelist in the USA, prepared a petition called "Blackstone Memorial" in 1891 for the purpose of giving the Palestinian lands to the Jews, and presented it to the then US President Benjamin Harrison after getting the signatures of many important figures.
