The belief that God will ultimately defend Middle East Jews at Armageddon is so strongly embedded within the twenty-first century evangelical psyche that it has spilled over into politics and even influences U.S. foreign policy toward the Jewish state.1 Not only does the United States support Israel as a democracy-which it should, but countless U.S. citizens, including prophecy-minded, politically active Christians in Washington, D.C., believe strongly that if we support Israel, God will support us. From California to New York, on radio and TV, the line is often heard, "He who blesses Israel will be blessed, and He who curses Israel will be cursed" (although this exact phrase is not in the Bible).
You are mistaken about the phrase not being in the Bible, It is found in Genesis 12:1-3. God is talking to Abram and tells him he is going to make him a great nation (Israel). He then says he will bless those that bless Israel... 12 1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
