Become a Video Lab member! When President Trump authorized the drone strike that killed the powerful Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, he wasn't just flexing America's muscle in the Middle East. He was also acting on the advice of a politically powerful group of evangelical Christians who believe that the US and Israel are part of the Bible's plan to bring about the second coming of Jesus.

Today, unprecedented access to the Trump administration has given them an opportunity to reshape the Middle East. Additional reading Note: The headline on this piece has been updated.
