August 1, 2007 - The backbone of Christian Zionism consists of a Biblical "mandate" under which Christians are directed, by the Lord, to become blessings to His people. The mandate is comprised of several, Scriptural passages in which God communicates what CSWI classifies as "standard operating procedure" not only for Christian Zionists, but for all Christians.The directives found in the mandate are entirely unconditional. While our Christian objectives are to advance the Kingdom of God, as well as the Great Commission, our becoming blessings to the "apple of God's eye" does not depend on their conversion to Christianity. The essence of pure evil under the guise of Christian Crusaders, in centuries past, led to the complete collapse of Jewish-Christian relations. Only recently has the relationship between the Jewish people and Christians become fruitful, and the "mending" process, albeit positive, continues this very day. Even so, this portion of the mandate cannot be overstated: Christian support for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people is entirely unconditional. With all of this said, let us turn now to the mandate itself.
