End Times, Abrahamic Covenant: How End of Days Views Impact Evangelicals on Israel

Evangelical support for Israel has remained unchanged amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, according to a recent survey. Researchers found the belief that "God’s covenant with the Jewish people remains intact today" serves as the greatest impact on support for the Jewish state. "If a respondent professes this belief, the likelihood that this person strongly supports Israel increases almost threefold (180%)," reads a press release from researchers behind the study. Dr. Motti Inbari, a professor of Jewish studies at UNC Pembroke, and Dr. Kirill Bumin, associate dean of Metropolitan College and director of Boston University Summer Term Programs, explained to CBN News what they found most stunning about the latest data. "We've been doing this research for quite some time," Bumin said. "And one of the things that I find particularly interesting is the degree to which the attitudes that we see in the Christian community are crystallized or rigid." He continued, "We have seen relatively little change in attitudes towards support for Israel, support for Palestinians, or support for neither from 2021 onward." Bumin said this persists even after the Oct. 7 attack and the subsequent war broke out. Another factor of interest was generational differences the researchers observed among young evangelicals, who have been found to be less supportive — particularly those under the age of 20 — of Israel. Listen to them break it all down.
