Muhamoud Ahmadinejad Former president of Iran had said “ The Zionist Regime is dried and rotten tree that will be destroyed by storm.” That's part of the reason Iran plays such an important role in Evangelical Beliefs about the present state of the world, and the future. According to Christian Zionism if the US wants to be on the right side of Biblical prophecy they need to do everything possible to protect Israel and punish Iran. That also explains why a different Bible story is also really important to them. The old testament story of Esther, about a plot to destroy Jews of Persia, or modern day Iran. The book of Esther Plays such an important role for Christian zionists that they even made multiple movies out of it. In The Bible Esther saves the Jews by using her persuasion with the king.
Evangelicals who are very wrapped up in this theology because Persia modern-day Iran, they sort of contextualize this Bible Story into foreign policies. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo and vice president Mike Pence both Identify as Evangelical Christians and both have an enormous influence over American Foreign Policy.
A ProPublica Investigation found that Pence Routed millions of dollars in Foreign aid that had been earmarked for humanitarian projects in Iraq, Diverting it towards christians groups in the country when President Trump Approved the drone strike that killed Iran's Top Military commander in January 2020. It was according to the Washingtons Post, as Pmpeo and Pences urging. When President Trump Moved the US Embassy in Israel From Tel Aviv to jerusalem. The move had more support from American Evangelicals than American Jews. The other News swirling around the Embassies move to Jerusalem is what it could signal as a part of biblical prophecy. That Evangelical support is not an accident, The trump administration courts it.
After the administration put our a peace plan that would have given Israel an unprecedented control over Palestinian land, The christian broadcast networked interviewed Trumps ambassador to Israel. The Network's coverage followed his lead. For Evangelical Christians in America, the Bible isn't just a foundational text. It is a prophetic road map that tells the future and shapes the way they view the present. That motivates their support for a foreign policy that they see as affirming those prophecies and a president who depends on their votes.
