Christian Zionism is a theological and political movement that holds a belief in the biblical prophecy of the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel and the establishment of the State of Israel. This movement often distorts biblical passages, particularly from the Old Testament, as prophetic to the modern state of Israel to justify their political views. This interpretation often involves the belief that Christians must support Israel.
