That's Dispensationalism, which is one group within Evangelicalism. It only started in the 1820s, in Ireland, and became influential in the USA because of the Scofield Reference Bible and Moody College. It never existed before that date, and is not part of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or much of Protestantism (especially outside the USA). Its influence even within US Evangelicalism has decreased lately, with people becoming sick of all the "Left Behind" stuff.
Even many non-Dispensationalist Christians support Israel, which is something that I, as a Christian, feel highly embarrassed about. They seem to have various motives.

John Nelson Darby is the person who came up with "the Rapture" and other such nonsense. Nothing biblical about it at all.
