American evangelicals, especially dispensationalists, have a tendency to whitewash whatever the modern Israeli government does, owing to a supposed identification of contemporary Israel with the Israel of the Old Testament and biblical prophecy.

How do we find God in a senseless world where we are overloaded with information and technology, distraught by the futility of politics and are constantly being controlled by the machines of progress? In a world obsessed with power and control, many are finding the inner peace we all seek by taking a step back instead of "forward" to identify with nature and common sense, back to the Garden of Eden in a sense. God has a far deeper and more personal meaning beyond the increasing complications of world religions and the rapid "progress" that mankind claims to be experiencing.
