The emergence of movement

"
Christian Zionism is the basis of the current millennium in the first century, which is believed to govern the return of Christ a thousand years are Christians of Jewish origin
"
Christian Zionism arose - as we know it today - in England in the 17 century, which was linked to politics, particularly the perception Jewish state by its assertion of Bible prophecy, with the commencement of large migrations to the United States has assumed a political movement clear and firm, also took an international dimension is the Provide full support for the Jewish people in Palestine.

There interpretation adopted in the historic Christian faith states that the Jewish nation ended with the arrival of Christ, and that the departure of Jews from Palestine was punishment for the heart of Jesus Christ, and that Palestine is the legacy of Christ for Christians, but the emergence of religious reform movement in Europe in the 16 century, claimed responsibility saying that "Jews are God's chosen people" and they are the nation's favorite when the Lord, and that there is the promise of divine linking Jews to Palestine, therefore linked to the Christian faith Protestant reform movement after the return of Christ to faith-second ad by the Zionist entity at all the land of Palestine.
