Page "Christian Zionism" Paragraph 30

The role of certain Christians in supporting the establishment of Israel following World War II is well known ; and it is regarded by some critics as, in part, a kind of self-willed fulfillment of prophecy.

Given this, some are alarmed by what else Christian Zionists envision being done to bring about the conversion of the Jews and the end of the world.

As an example, Hal Lindsey, one of the most popular American promoters of dispensationalism, has written in The Late Great Planet Earth that per Book of Ezekiel ( 39: 6-8 ) that after Jews fight off a " Russian " invasion, Jews will see this as a miracle and convert to Christianity.

Their lives will be spared the great fire that God will put upon Russia and people of the " coastlands.

" And, per Book of Zechariah ( 13: 8, 9 ), one third of Jews alive who have converted will be spared.
