Christian Zionism is a belief by some Christians that the return of the Jews to Palestine, and the establishment of Israel, is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. This talk will explain how Christian Zionism supported the early Zionist movement in the late 19th Century leading to the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. It will also consider the support the State of Israel gets today from Christian Zionist organisations, particularly in the United States.
