TRUMP and HUCKABEE
King James Version
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself
thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever:
and thou, Lord, art become their God.
He wasn't expecting it.
But president-elect Trump gave him a call.
And like he said, Trump goes straight to the point.
Mike Huckabee was asked to be U.S. ambassador to Israel.
He admitted it was like an "Isaiah" moment for him:
Isaiah 6:8
King James Version
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me.
He's a strong supporter of Israel, and has been going there since 1973.
In the Stakelbeck interview above, Huckabee states ambassadorship "is a natural fit for me because of my love for the people and for the country."
He also said he is "the FIRST evangelical Christian to be the ambassador to Israel".
Soon as his appointment was made public, Netanyahu, Dermer, many members of the Knesset, and many others congratulated him.
Huckabee is a strong supporter of Israel, opposing Palestinian statehood and rejecting Palestinian identity. Huckabee has also condoned West Bank settlements which are illegal under international law. In 2008, Huckabee argued that there is "no such thing as a Palestinian".[156] In 2017, at an event in the West Bank, he stated: "There is no such thing as a West Bank - it's Judea and Samaria. There's no such thing as a settlement. They're communities. They're neighborhoods. They're cities. There's no such thing as an occupation."

Of course, many Israelis, Americans, and Christians are pleased at the appointment.
We learned this about him:
Michael Dale Huckabee (/ˈhʌkəbi/, born August 24, 1955) is an American political commentator, Baptist minister, and former politician who served as the 44th governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007.[1] He was a candidate for the Republican Party presidential nomination in both 2008 and 2016.

What I really like about him is his selfless devotion to Trump, and Israel.
He says, one of the roles of an ambassador is to "carry out the policies of the president, rather than his or her own particular ideas".
He assured us that the U.S. will not have a "schizophrenic policy" towards Israel -- one day praising them and saying, "We'll stand with you", and the next day giving them lectures on "how to defend themselves against terror".
Like he points out, "ultimately, it's the president's policies".
Reminding us that Trump was "the only person who got elected on November the 5th".
A rare breed, this man Huckabee.
But is it any wonder?
He's a Baptist minister, too.
One who knows GOD's law, and will.
Israel and America can breathe a sigh of relief.
They are safe under his watch.
The whole world, too!
