The Christian Zionists believe that the State of Israel was established in preparation for the second coming of Christ. A large part of the rationale behind Jews claiming rights to the area that is now Israel is a biblical one. It is my opinion that both of these beliefs are wrong.

Armageddon will happen if the Christian Zionists have their way (and they have so far). I know quite a few Christian Zionists who support political candidates who will assist the coming of armageddon with their military adventurism in the Middle East. I find it bizarrely ironic that these two interest groups have allied themselves, because their ultimate goals are totally at cross purposes with each other.

When considering what the Reverend Hagee believes and desires for the Middle East, it is important to understand that the endgame in his scenario involves most of the Jews being killed and the rest being converted to Christianity.
