During his confirmation hearings as ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee outlined his commitment to representing President Trump's views, though his own strong Christian Zionist beliefs were evident. He articulated a spiritual connection to Israel that transcends political motives, reflecting a longstanding evolution of American Christian attitudes toward a Jewish state. The origins of Christian Zionism trace back to the late 19th century, involving both Protestant support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland and some early collaborations between Jewish leaders and Christian theologians.
Huckabee emphasized the spiritual connection between Christians and Israel, stating, “We believe the Bible, and therefore that connection is not geopolitical. It is also spiritual.”
The concept of Christian Zionism has deep roots, evolving significantly since the late 19th century, with support from both Jews and Protestant Christians for establishing a Jewish homeland.
