“Christian reverence for Jerusalem is synonymous with Jesus. It is based on events that took place there, at the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane to the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. By denying a Jewish history and a Jewish Temple the Palestinians are also denying Christianity its heritage. For, without a Jewish Temple, the events of Jesus could not have taken place. This, more than anything else, should drive Christianity to the defence of Israel over a false Palestinian narrative. Sadly, with notable exceptions, it does not seem to have done so. Leaders of Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian, and some Baptist churches fall in line with the Palestinian argument against Israel. I outline the root cause of this in my chapter on Replacement Theology.”
