The rise in the 1970s of Jewish groups that have advocated, & at times made preparations for, the rebuilding of the Temple has encouraged Christian pre-millennialists. Evangelical leaders & organizations, which represent millions of conservative Christians, have lent their support to the state of Israel as the nation that prepares the ground for the arrival of the Messiah. Some Christian pre-millennialists have taken steps to help hasten the rebuilding of the Temple & consequently the coming of the Messiah. Toward the year 2000, Israeli & American officials became particularly concerned that Christian believers in the imminent arrival of Jesus would try to hasten the messianic clock by helping Jewish extremists blow up the Temple Mount mosques. The prospect of a successful Jewish-Christian collaboration in such a scheme could let all hell loose & bring about a Middle Eastern apocalypse. Adapted from the source document.
