The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem works diligently to bless and support Israel and the Jewish people, and they exhort Christian the world over to do the same. Just a couple days ago (11/2/2016), Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump clearly affirmed his support of the five principles:
- Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US Embassy there
- Renew the ten-year Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Israel which provides aid in response to Israel’s growing security needs
- Oppose the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel
- Sanction Iran’s relentless actions as the world’s leading sponsor of terror
- Reject third party solutions to the Israeli – Palestinian conflict not negotiated by the two parties
I’ll be the first to say that I am not a fan of Donald Trump personally. Nor am I a fan of Hillary Clinton. Both are deeply flawed when it comes to “Presidential material.” However, praise God for at least one candidate willing to take a stand with Israel. (Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate, has not responded to the request.)
