I grew up evangelical. I have heard multiple pastors in multiple congregations explain that the existence of Israel is divine, that god himself was responsible for it existing after X thousands of years and that everything they did was god’s will. This was all of course necessary for the rapture. For more look up Hal Lindsey’s “Hinge of history” Israel/AIPAC on the other hand is mostly composed of atheists, who are more than happy to participate in evangelical delusions to keep the money flowing.
