Rev. Dr. Stephen Sizer was ordained into the Church of England. His thesis examined the historical roots, theological basis and political consequences of Christian Zionism in Britain and the USA from 1820. He is the author of Christian Zionism: Roadmap to Armageddon (IVP, 2004) and Zion’s Christian Soldiers: The Bible, Israel and the Church (IVP, 2007). Stephen is the Chair of ICAHD UK.

Dr. Michael Spath is the Executive Director of the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace. He is a member of the United Church of Christ Palestine / Israel Network. Michael is the Co-Chair of ICAHD USA.

This webinar will address how the US administration is embracing Christian Zionism and “end time” theology to justify unconditional support for Israel and unprovoked war against Iran. Some Americans have referred to what it is doing in Iran as the US’s “Holy War”. Mike Huckebee, the US’s Ambassador to Israel, remarked in February that it would be fine if Israel took control of land that would include a huge swathe of the Middle East.

Such positions come from an interpretation of Bible verses identified as Christian Zionism. This theological and political belief system says that the modern State of Israel’s existence is a fulfilment of biblical prophecy and a necessary sign to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It combines strong support for Israel, particularly regarding control over Jerusalem and the West Bank, with an end-times world view.

During this hour-long webinar, Stephen Sizer will provide a summary about Christian Zionist beliefs. He will be followed by Michael Spath who will unpack how Christian Zionist theology has influenced US foreign policy and how US churches are responding to it.
