Why evangelicals influence US foreign policy in the Middle East | EP1 | Witness Documentary
Watch the second episode here: • How evangelicals influ...
The first episode of Praying for Armageddon goes inside the evangelical Christian movement to explore its influence on US democracy and foreign policy.
Preparing for the "end times", a grassroots pastor gathers an army of veterans in the heartland of the United States, and megachurch ministers provide spiritual advice to politicians in the nation’s capital.
They call for the "final battle" which they believe will trigger the second coming of Christ. Central to their apocalyptic prophecy is Israel. It is with their blessing that the Trump administration controversially recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moves the US embassy there in 2018.
“It feels like everyone has a say about the destiny and the future of Jerusalem except for the Palestinians living in it,” says Palestinian activist Fayrouz Sharqawi.
Praying for Armageddon is a documentary film by Tonje Hessen Schei.

The Praying for Armageddon series looks at how and why evangelical Christians influence US foreign policy in the Middle East. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. Please note that hateful and inappropriate comments will be removed. Watch the second episode here: kzhead.info/sun/ks2KmMabhpmcpK8/bejne.html Q&A with Tonje Hessen Schei, the director of the series: 1) Could you tell us about the image in the poster? What was the creative thought process behind it? ▫The poster is a literal presentation of what some of the Evangelical fundamentalists believe, that Jesus will return as a warrior with an AR-15. As they interpret the Armageddon prophecy literally they believe Jesus will come down from the heavens on a white horse. This symbolizes the beginning of Armageddon. 2) Can you tell us what surprised you most when shooting the film or researching the story? ▫We started working on this film over 8 years ago, before Trump & Pence, and it has been a wild unbelievable ride with lots of surprises. Most concerning to me is the increase in the real political power the fundamentalist Evangelicals have in the US now. 3) Will Tonje do a sequel regarding the new events happened since October 7th? ▫I have no plans of making a sequel at this point, but there are many films being made on this topic and on this catastrophic time in our history. 4) Why is he trying to make Christianity look like they are wack jobs or terrorists? ▫This is not an anti-religion or anti-Christianity film, and we are treating all of our characters and protagonists with the utmost respect. This film takes a hard look at fundamentalism, which is important for all of us to do within our communities, cultures and societies across the world. 5) According to Tonje will the election of Trump worsen the situation for Palestine? ▫Unfortunately, there is no way to know what Trump would do, and I hope that the rest of the world and our international institutions will step up to take more responsibility and help with the governance of the catastrophic situation of Palestine. 6) Have you had any backlash from the evangelical community about the film? ▫There has been quite a bit of buzz about the film in dark religious corners of the internet, but most Evangelicals who see the film are surprised and support the message of the film that we have to fight religious fundamentalism. 7) Brazil is full of evangelists too but it shows support to Palestine, are they different from American evangelicals? ▫There are very strong similarities between US Evangelicals and the Brazilian fundamentalists. I am not an expert on the Brazilian situation, but Praying for Armageddon has been shown at several film festivals there, and from the response we are getting their relationship to Bolsonaro was very similar to the bond these groups had to Trump.

Hagee is a complete idiot. Many of these stupid preachers have banned me for exposing their ridiculous end time nonsense. And yes, I am Christian and want nothng to do with these fakes and frauds who think they have to be on the side of these genocidal maniacs. There audiences are so dumbed down they repeat simplistic prhases and bible verses ad nuaseum, until it becomes some sort of mantra. Nothng more I can do. Jesus warned us of the synagouges of satan, and St John warned of their antichrist spirit, but they still keep cheering on these evil people, thinking they are ushering in a global battle over some stupid sliver of middle east realestate, and Jesus Christ is coming at thelast minute to save antichrists. Unbelievably bad and oxymoronic theology, mostly found in many mainline and megachurches like Hagees. Hagee is more feverntly zionist than even the zionists themselves. Thats how utterly deceived that poor man is.
Great series idea , these people need to be exposed for their radicalism.
What is the link to the freemasons? (Satanists who pretend to be Christian)
Thank you, Al Jazeera, for giving a voice to the voiceless and standing with the oppressed people. Your coverage is honest and accurate 👌 👏 🙂.
For all those who don't know: evangelicals have a very literal understanding of the Bible. Not inline with most other Christians and the Protestant Reformers who see the symbolic meaning in the New Testament. Evangelicals usually think that Christianity should be enforced upon people like the Neocon from the Bush' administration, the Catholic Church in the past or Sharia law for Muslims. They also believe in a 3rd temple rebuilding prediction in Israel, hence they always support Zionism in Israel.
I know we're all brainwashed somehow but American brainwashing is next level😅.
It works best if you're poorly educated and never learned critical thinking, which is what you get in most American public schools.
I concur. Their own "slave trading" is on the next level. 😂

Real Christian’s will pray for peace not destruction. Blessed are the peacemakers
There is no such thing as a "real Christian." This is christianity in a nutshell. Christians all over the world are supporting this.
11) When they are told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only peace-makers!” (12) Indeed, it is they who are the corruptor... Quran 2:11 and 12
Real Christians know when the Messiah returns there's going to be destruction, not peace. He is coming with a Sword not an Olive Branch.

It's ridiculous that these Evangelicals think that Jesus is gonna love them more when he comes back and finds their fingerprints all over this genocide that brought about the end of the world.
I know right....they (the zionist project) are just the last group to trample the freedom and dignity of the Palestinians. All throughout history these people have been oppressed and the land occupied. God bless the Palestinians and may they live in true peace.
I thought only Judaism preaches Genocide. I am surprised to see the Christians supporting the same .....

They don’t care, they know that they’re full of sh!t. it’s just an easy excuse to do wrong and that’s all.

Yes...they are insane!

It is so ironic that some Christians choose to support Israel, whose people have no faith in Jesus over Palestinians, who love and respect Jesus.
Exactly Jews don’t even believe in Jesus according to revelation 2:9 they are the fake Jews

So true we love him and must respect him as a messenger of GOD
There are even Palestinian Christians which people don't even realize and they and Muslim Palestinians have been peacefully coexisting side by side
but there is a remnant of christian israelis.
As a Christian, it’s sickening to keep seeing people take the teachings of Jesus & use it for evil. Jesus was about obeying God, treating each other with love & respect for one another. All the madness going on in the world is NOT what he wants for us. His teachings was to warn us against this madness. People are being deceived & that’s not God or Jesus doing.
You are not a Christian. Don't lie, you are a muslim.
Jesus was a beautiful Prophet of God, it is shocking that these Zionist Jews and Zionist Christians are using Jesus like a slot machine game.Incredible stupid, but as we know Satan is extremely cunning.
God does bring delusion upon those who love not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness. And yes, they handle the word of God deceitfully. They use it as a cloak of maliciousness, blinded by the great light of darkness within them, as they try to force the scriptures to fit their own doctrines (Dominion Theology) and faulty timeline. Covetousness is idolatry.
This whole show is just propaganda. Al Jazeera is not the place to find objective, serious information. I'm Christian too, but I know the world will never stop spreading lies about the gospel, and do whatever they can to try to blaspheme. There's been times before, there's times now and there will be more times in the future where being a Christian is going to be a death sentence. Don't wonder if the world hates you, said Jesus, since He was hated first and had no sin and did no evil. Stay strong in your faith. With wishes for a nice weekend from here in Norway where there's actually summer now, the warmest May in almost 50 years. 🙂

As an evangelical Christian myself, I am infuriated at these people who claim to speak for Jesus while they use Him to justify the oppression of the Palestinian people. I think many of them at the end of their lives are going to hear, “I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice wickedness.” God, forgive us for what we’ve done. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
I refuse to believe that Jesus will be on the side of those who steal, expell, plunder, murder and kill babies in his name.
Jesus was an anti-Semite against any Jewish Talmudic order he tried to change the Jews not the Romans or Americans in the matter of fact. He was a Buddhist Jew fighting ageist the financial gain on the back of honest god loving peoples I believe the evangelist are promoting the antichrist , .

Religious Militants
This is Zionism. Zionism is not a Jewish or Christian sect, but blood and soil in the name of Judao-Christian Culture... European Nazism was for Germany and German blood, European Zionism (and American Exceptionalism) is for the conquista for the cross (the Crusade), and the Settlement of the EuroJew in the ME. This in turn is based on Christian racism.... so that when Jesus comes back, no blacks will be in the reverted, only EuroJews. This is also why it does not bother "these" "Christians" see Israeli race policies when it comes to other Jews. This group constantly ebb and wanes in their social thought, but the political gaslighting is always the same... bullet points kept, scripture reading change... Get rid of their gaslighting and they would be pro ME Muslim and the most fervent anti Zionists... but no they are just Christian Israeli Nationalists. They have always supported both Nazism and then Zionism. This video itself is a propaganda piece. The reason I say this is that the view that all "religiosity" is evil in of itself is oft expressed in all US targeted media. They think that is who we are, secularists and bigots. Always get your salt. A lot of the footage showed Christians involved in domestic disputes (that also included others) and made it look like the Crusaders coming. The two overlap in demographic, but are two separate issues.

"Two nations created to glorify god" - Two nations that ethnically created after the ethnic cleansing of it's indigenous populations. How glorious.
I remember what these christians did to the true Americans that refused to bow down to the demon lord Jesus during the Americainvasion by the Christian Europe.
Christ's true teachings and efforts were not as she said. He came for everyone, showing mercy, love, and fairness to sinners and good people alike, Jews and non-Jews. Christ walked the Earth doing good and instructed his apostles to spread the word to everyone. As he said in Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation." He also said in Mark 3:31, "Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother." This means that whoever follows his teachings is considered family. The way she said "Two nations created to glorify God" implies that only these two nations know God and are worthy of worshipping Him, which goes against Christ's teachings. God created humanity before we started to identify ourselves as nations. If Christ were walking among us today, he would never say that he created two nations to follow him because his teachings are for everyone.

Occupation? Big NO, read the Bible. That place was given by GOD to Jacob's family, Jacob today is Israel
Palestinians --- and virtually all of the Middle East and North Africa --- are still occupied by the successors of Umar ibn al-Khattab, Khalid ibn al-Walid, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and the Rashidun Caliphate...Umayyad Caliphate...Suljuk Empire...Ottoman Empire. . . Which is why they escape to to Whytopia.
@@AgustatriNo, you go read, you owe it to yourself to be more educated than this! Jacob is not those Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and other European settlers who came and stole other people’s land and drove them out of their country, killed them or oppressed them! There is nothing GODLY about that!
@@makmdphdYou do not know what you are saying, God in Joshua's day commanded the Israelites to kill all the people in that area because God was angry with them because they did not honor God. (Joshua 1:3-18) Now you're going to say polish Ukrainians and Russians are people in Israel now and not Israelis? The Persians wanted to destroy them, so the Israelites spread throughout the world. Let's learn a lesson first
How can settlers be allowed to just steal someone's home. It's just wrong. It's evil.
@Michael-ur3on Go back to eastern europe, Palestine doesn't belong to khazar ashkenazi jews.
According to what this preacher with a group of bikers loitering with armed weapons say's...if he is a Muslim then he could be described as a Islamic militia, terror group but because he's is a Christian it's ok he's right
The most dangerous men do not wear army uniforms but wear ties, coats and and jackets.
I live in Arizona. They are everywhere here. I can't buy food without hearing someone talking about their support for Israel. Saying the most horrible things about Palestinians. David has become Goliath with the help of the US.
Yup and Trump "returning" to office & civil war. I would hope Governor Hobbs would call out the National Guard

Actually what you are saying is very true with Israel, who have mistreated Palestinians for decades in their own home.
there is no such thing as a “palestine” country, state or nation - there never was. the word “palestine” was named by the romans to change the name of JUDEA to palestine when Israel was under the roman empire’s rule under Emperor Hadrian in 63 BC. nor is there a “palestinian” race who are actually arabs of different descent. all ancient cities had an official currency. if there was a so called “palestine” country, state or nation, what was their official currency? if there was a so called “palestine” country, state or nation, who was their king, president, prime minister, sultan or khalif prior to yasser arafat? the answer to those two questions is NONE. a fictitious race fighting for a fictitious country.

My childhood faith was hijacked and turned into a death cult. These people have made Christianity impossible.
I'm not sure if it's my place to say so but please try to keep your faith and focus on its good aspects, don't allow these people be the only representation of christianity.. And this is coming from a mulsim 😅

"hijacked and turned into a death cult"? Did someone perverted your faith for you, maybe they read the Bible for you too?
No They haven't you still have your Christian views These people did not have a belief
Why is it that Evangelicals never pray for Christian Palestinians? Why have never never mentioned the words, Christian Palestinians?
Because they're racistes
Because most Palestinian Christians are Orthodox and the evangelicals are being played. There are Catholics and simple Gospel believers in Palestine as well.....shhhh! You're not supposed to know that.
I pray daily for my brothers and sisters in Christ In Palestine. This is the false teaching that the Bible talks about in Revelation. Jesus has no part in it.
@@rcjdeanna5282 Yeah because it doesn't fit the narrative.
@@lindaarendt496 good. I do too. I have been to a lot of churches and I only learnt about Palestinian Christians from European News Companies and Al Jazeera English. No US news companies for decades or churches of many denominations have ever mentioned Christian Palestinians or prayed for them.
Anyone who prays for war has never truly suffered through war.
It is very sad. War creates hate and never end
Jewish Rabbi,” it is impossible that Jesus would be in favour of oppressing other people “. As a Christian this cuts through my soul. Praying for peace in Gaza and for the Palestinians.
I don't even believe how they think that jesus will be happy from all thier war crimes against humanity and now in Gaza. NUTS
Why are you quoting a Jewish rabbi if you’re a Christian? Didn’t they try to kill your beloved Jesus?

They were preparing for the ground before their full inception of the Israeli state under full hacking of the British empire. That's why they kept on committing massacres of Innocent locales just to occupy their land and resources.
And the way today the USA is just either don't care or lip servings there were similarities between the British empire and the USA empire.

you can't have it both way, Christ says love your neighbour. truth is simple
Their script got mistranslated to "rob your neighbor or someone else will ..."
@@nic_cage there's no mistranslation. it's their misinterpretation. Many Christians all over the world are against genocide. These US evangelical are a special breed of crazy people
Amen.
This whole thing is repulsive, but the heroic resilience of the Palestinians, and the work of people like rabbi Ascherman and investigative journalist Lee Fang give me hope. Maybe just a glimmer of hope, but it's better than nothing.
As Christians we should recognize that Jews don't recognize Jesus. The evangelical fraternity in the US should be cognizant of this to .
I'm pretty sure they recognized Jesus...They're the ones who said "there he is! Get him!"
No matter what you call yourself Muslim, Christian, Jew, we are all humans. We need to learn that we are all God ‘s creations. No one has a right to kill, steal , and destroy any other person. We are going to going to kill our world with hate. We need to learn to mind our own business and stop killing people for material possessions. Every human has a right to exist, especially Palestinians. They deserve the right to exist, to live in peace and to grow up in a land they have always lived in.
These religious leaders are making lots of money and becoming very wealthy whereas their followers end up becoming poor. Wake up and beware.
Very true
Absolutely!
Exactly
Which followers become poor?? Christian countries became poor only when they practiced communism. Look at Argentina n El Salvador now after they broke free from communism, they thrive! It's your followers who ended up being poor n uneducated over decades, no need to name the countries, right?? 😅😅😅
Jesus predicted people like this. Not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. He also said he who lives by the sword will die by the sword when he healed the ear of the soldier cut by Peter. He also said His loving Father cared even for the lowly sparrow, how much more for humans? This seems to me to be reverence for all life. WAR is the opposite of this as is deception and theft. Jesus of the Gospels would NOT approve of the actions of the so called evangelical Christians. He would be weeping! He would NOT be supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people nor the actions of the evil Netanyahu.
Love and light to PALESTINIANS ✊🏽
these are the same people who said slavery was justified by the Bible.
USS LIBERTY, evangelicals Cognitive Dissonance at its finest.
As a classical musician I have had many Jewish friends and personal Jewish friendships. I've defended the truths of the Holocaust many times because some lost relatives and suffered horribly before coming to the US. I will continue to do this.....but many of them also rejected the state of Israel and those I also agree with. They rejected the whole idea of a "chosen people" as a race and theocracy.

The sword is the bible not a literal sword . Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

How ironic that the song they were listening to says 'I'm proud to be an American where at least I know that I'm free' and they go to use their freedom for the sole purpose of oppressing other people in the Middle East because that's what they think God wants. As an Arab and a Muslim, this documentary infuriates me so much because I've always been aware of the Palestinian struggle, and it pains me to see the ppl that accuse us of being terrorists be a prime example of blinded extremism that allows them to see the suffering of others, including Palestinian Christians, as a necessary evil.
Arabs are just as evil as Europeans and Americans...look at the Arab Slave Trade!

Maybe you threw the baby out with the bath water. These type of "Christians", who bear no resemblance to Christ in their behaviour, are no different to fumdementalist islamists, imo.
Hypocrites do give scandal...and you described scandal perfectly. However...Jesus said there would be lots of it and tried to encourage those hurt by it, like you. He is close to help all harmed by this evil stuff.
Don't do that. God is love. People who say they are of God and Hate their neighbors are not of God. We are in the last days and people are being deceived because they know really know and love God.
