Millions of Evangelical Christians around the world support and constantly pray for the State of Israel , representatives at a meeting of the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus said Wednesday.Dozens of Evangelical pastors, parliament members, and leaders from an array of countries gathered at the Knesset in Jerusalem to proclaim their support for the country, during a meeting of the Caucus, which was also attended by Knesset Members from across the political spectrum.

“We see Israelis as our spiritual mothers and fathers. It’s an honor for us to be here,” Pastor Norman Miller of Australia told Ynetnews. “We love your God, Israel,” Miller told the meeting, to a round of warm applause.

“The line between the political and the biblical is disappearing,” Josh Reinstein, Director of the Caucus, told the meeting. “Around the world, we see the rise of radical Islam come against our Judeo-Christian values, and we must meet it with a well organized response,” Reinstein said. “We formed the Christian Allies Caucus to coordinate cooperate and communicate with our Christian allies around the world… we want to work with you, and we thank you for your support,” he told delegates.

Speaking to Ynetnews, Reinstein said that modern events were shaping up to fit well with Torah prophecies. “If you can read the newspaper, than you can read the Torah, because things are coming into place like people have predicted many years before us.” “This isn’t just a time to shake hands… this is really the start of a relationship, of a political relationship, and that means an economic relationship, a social cooperation, and that also means political support for the State of Israel,” he said.

Addressing concerns voiced by some about an alliance with Evangelical Christianity, Reinstein said: “Of course we have to be vigilant to make sure that we’re not working with organizations that are just befriending us to convert us, but what we are doing is finding real friends and creating real relationships, so we can promote each other.

“Evangelical Christians around the world are the greatest friends Israel has.”
