This past Monday, I arrived in Israel to begin a whirlwind tour with 30 millennial Evangelical pastors from across the United States. All but two of them were on their first trip to Israel. The experience was both breathtaking and heartwarming. None of the pastors on the mission was a seasoned “Christian Zionist,” but all had a passion for the Bible, for the land of the Bible and for the People of the Book that puts our own religious feelings about Israel to shame. We have a lot to learn from our Christian brethren.
There were many highlights of the trip — too many to fit into this short dispatch. Instead, I would like to use the limited space to focus on Jerusalem, and particularly our visit to the Temple Mount. I would also like to reflect on the ongoing debate and discussion in diplomatic circles and the media about moving the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. www.algemeiner.com
