A new survey found that the vast majority of evangelical Christians believe that violence across the Middle East “is a sign that the end times are nearer,” according to a new survey from the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings.

The study, titled, “American Attitudes Toward the Middle East and Israel,” found that 79 percent of evangelicals embraced this notion, with 43 percent of non-evangelical Christians agreeing.

When it came to more specific details about the end times, 5 percent of Christians said that they believe the end times and the return of Christ would happen in their lifetime; 72 percent said that they were not sure if it would unfold soon or in a thousand years.

Those same proportions among evangelicals were 12 percent and 81 percent, respectively.
