Gaza and Biblical Prophesy

Zionists, Jews Say Gaza Withdrawal Doesn't Fit With Prophecy

RNS's article of the week, linked above, looks at how Jews and Christians view the Gaza Strip pullout in light of Biblical prophesy.

Quote: Jewish settlers aren't the only ones struggling to reconcile this historic episode with their worldviews. From factions of religious Jews in Israel and the Diaspora to Christian Zionists who believe the gathering of Jews in the Holy Land is helping prepare the way for the Messiah's return, the Gaza pullout represents a problematic detour from what they thought was God's plan.
