Ohio pastor equates J.D. Vance with King David, says GOP VP hopeful could benefit Israel
|
Any real American patriot benefits Israel - as well as the rest of the world.
[Ynet] Two weeks after former U.S. president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate on the Republican Party's ticket, an influential evangelical Christian from Vance’s home state of Ohio, said in an interview that if Trump is likened to King Cyrus, Vance is akin to David.
"Vance is a rising star with strength and courage like Trump," said Pastor David Swaggerty, a senior pastor at Charismalife Ministries in Columbus. "His youth, integrity and morals will benefit the country and Israel."
Many of Trump’s evangelical supporters believe that "God has a hand on him,"
After the failed, by miracle, assassination ...
meaning that, despite his moral flaws, Trump was chosen by God to serve in the White House. According to Swaggerty, choosing Vance as his running mate could also be divinely inspired — at least for Israel.
"If they get elected — and I believe they will — I think you’ll see a quick strengthening of ties between the U.S. and Israel and more support from the top down, which is a good thing," Swaggerty said.
Vance is a 39-year-old lawyer who has been a U.S. senator representing Ohio since 2022. He studied political science and philosophy at Ohio State University and then earned a law degree from Yale Law School.
As Swaggerty eluded, Vance's pro-Israel stance comes from his Christian faith, although he is not evangelical, but Catholic. The London Jewish Chronicle quoted Vance as saying the fact that Jesus "was born and died and resurrected in that narrow little strip of territory on the Mediterranean" feeds his pro-Israeli ideology. "The idea that there is ever going to be an American foreign policy that doesn’t care a lot about that slice of the world is preposterous," Vance said.
