'Not merely a mythological concept': Huckabee says Israel archaeology, Bible back Zionism
The convention took place at the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem, and was titled "returning the Zionist spirit to the influencer spaces in Israel."
United States Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, asserted during a recent speech that Zionism is not merely a mythological concept, but rather, it is firmly grounded in the historical reality of the Bible and the land of Israel. The speech took place at the annual Zionist Leadership Fund's convention, which was held at the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem. The convention's theme was "returning the Zionist spirit to the influencer spaces in Israel."
Huckabee emphasized that there is no structure in all of Jerusalem, possibly even in all of Israel, that better serves as a testament to the fact that Zionism is rooted in the Bible, the history of the land, and the continuity of a people who have lived here uninterrupted for 3,800 years since God first decreed it as the land of the Jewish people.
According to Huckabee, archaeological discoveries serve as confirmation of the veracity of the Holy Scriptures. He pointed out that every time a new discovery is made, it solidifies the historical accuracy of the biblical narratives. Specifically, he highlighted the significant historical importance of the Judea and Samaria region, stating that the road in that area is the same path that the Patriarchs, prophets, and kings walked.
This, Huckabee argued, serves as a reminder that the stories of the Bible are not mere invented tales, but rather, they are the historical record of real people who truly lived out the biblical narratives.
