Why does the United States maintain "unconditional" and "rock-solid" support for Israel regardless of who is in office? In this episode, we go beyond standard diplomacy to uncover a powerful political engine hiding in plain sight: Christian Nationalism and Christian Zionism.
We dive into the history of dispensationalism, a theological system from the 1800s that views Israel as a "cosmic clock" for the end of times. We also break down the Seven Mountains Mandate, a strategic plan to place Christian leadership at the top of seven key sectors of influence, including government, media, and business.
From the "King Cyrus" parallel used to explain evangelical support for Donald Trump to the massive grassroots influence of organizations like CUFI (Christians United for Israel), we explore how these frameworks shape Washington D.C. today.
