The “Christ is King” wars have re-emerged, and it started with a politician who dared to tell the Biblical truth of the matter.

Clearly, if Christ is your King, you're not spouting curses with abandon, and you don’t curse Israel:

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” (Psalm 122:6)
