There has been growing attention on Sarah Palin's church background, the dominionist worldview reflected in some of her statements and those of her pastors, and an apparent affection between churches she attends and organizations like Jews for Jesus and Christians United for Israel.
According to the Christian Zionist group The Jerusalem Connection International (whose leader, James Hutchens, broke this year with John Hagee's Christians United for Israel over Hagee's book that backpedaled on the imperative to convert Jews to Christianity), Palin, accompanied by Joe Lieberman, convened this week with representatives of the the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and met with their approval. Of special note for The Jerusalem Connection is that the evangelical Palin, who also received the blessing of Rabbi Yossi Greenberg, the Alaska emissary for the Hassidic Chabad sect, keeps an Israeli flag in her office:
The Jerusalem Connection had this to add about Palin:
Sarah Palin is the liberal's worst nightmare. The Medianite's attacks on her have been and will no doubt continue to be vicious. Let's face it, they are desparate to see her defeated. Therefore God's people must undergird her in prayer -- for God's protection, for wisdom, discernment and uncommon courage. She is indeed a "Game Changer." As a matter of fact the elections here in the United States and in Israel will also be "game changers," regardless of who wins. Pray that the change that occurs will be more closely aligned with God's Word, especially regarding Israel.
"More closely aligned with God's Word." Meaning more closely aligned with the Christian Zionist apocalyptic vision for the Middle East than the Bush Administration has been.
