The Apocalypticism Insights in United States and " Special Relation" with Israel

The US close coalition with Israel is the most significant component of the US foreign policy towards the Middle East. There are many reasons for this “special relation”: Israel is a strategic blessing for the US in the Middle East and even the world; the US responsibility and commitment towards the existence of Israel; cultural ties; pro-Israel powerful lobby in the US and finally apocalypticism and its various concepts such as millennialism, eschatology, anti-Christ and Armageddon which are manifested in Christian right, particularly evangelicals, Zionist Christians, puritans, Presbyterians and Mormons. This research deals with the significance of this religious political thought and its role in formation of the US foreign policy. In this regard, the author has examined religious texts, related movies, popular culture and literature in relation with apocalypticism. Beside religious texts, the author also deals with the secular apocalypticism and its relation with the US foreign policy towards Israel.
