This week we’re going to be talking about the opinion of Evangelicals about Israel. Traditionally, Evangelicals have generally regarded modern-day Israel as God’s chosen people. Yet that seems to be changing with the younger generation. We want to consider what the Bible has to say about this topic.
STORY – New Study Reveals Wide Range of Evangelical Opinion about Israel
“It is often presumed that evangelical Christians prioritize support for Israel as part of their religious and political beliefs. However, new research reveals evangelicals are not of one mind on what they believe about Israel and the Jewish people.
“The Jewish Connection: Evangelicals and Israel is a study of 1,000 American evangelical Protestants, from Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research. It reveals that 51% of evangelicals believe the Jews are God’s chosen people. However, the other half believe differently:
- 19% are not sure what to believe
- 17% believe Christians replaced Jews as God’s chosen people
- 10% feel the Jews never were God’s chosen people
- 2% had another view
“‘Older evangelicals and those who are Charismatic or Pentecostal are the most likely to believe the Jews are God’s chosen people,’ says Mark Dreistadt, Infinity Concepts President.” (Christian News Wire)
