QUESTIONS - Why Hagee’s fascination with Israel and particularly with the Temple and Jerusalem?
I believe this is a fulfillment of the biblical position in the Torah, where God promises to Israel in Deuteronomy, where he promises that He will make Israel the head, and not the tail, of the nations, and that toward the end of days, Jerusalem and Israel will be the epicenter of everything that’s going to happen. So this embassy event, to me, is an indication of God’s favor on this nation and on these people in a very physical way.
"We are gentiles, we don’t have a covenant. You have a covenant, we don’t. And that’s the only way we get plugged in to have eternal life."
Question - Any credibility to Hagee’s timing of events in Israel as quoted here, “I believe that God does everything in His own time. The concept of the year of jubilee, as taught in Leviticus, Chapter 25, the prophetic clock does not tick until the Jewish people are in the land. And measuring that, that God measures time in modules of 50 years: 1917 was a jubilee year because Israel returned to the land. Add 50 to 1917, and you get 1967, the year in which Jerusalem was joined to the State of Israel, and the land mass of Israel more than doubled in a war that is called to this day, a miracle. Add 50 to 1967, and you have 2017.
This is a year of jubilee, and in this year of jubilee, Jerusalem has been pronounced the capital of Israel and the embassy is being moved. It’s a year of blessing that God is bringing to the Jewish people. So you are still front and center as far as God’s blessing being poured out upon you
QUESTION - Jeffress: ‘You can’t be saved being a Jew’ - what about Romans 11 - does Rom 11 apply to unbelieving Jews? Is Jeffress a replacement theology guy?
Hagee - Hitler was God’s plan for Israel - and Blood Moon prophecy...what else will he get wrong?
