US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

It was 4,000 years ago here in this city on Mount Mariah where God chose his people. He not only chose a people but a place, and for the people in this place a purpose.

The people were the Jewish people, the place was Israel, and the purpose was to be a light to the world and show that we don't have to look for God because he is looking for us.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

The stones 100% validate that the Jewish people not only belong here now but have belonged here for 4,000 years since God said to Abraham, "This is yours. Take good care of it and you'll be a blessing to the people around the earth and even to those of us who aren't Jewish."

He says, "Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed." I come tonight because I'd rather have a blessing than a curse.
