You clearly do not understand the Christian faith or just like to twist what he is saying. Jesus proclaimed that he was the Son of God. What Hagee is saying is factually true as Jesus did not verbally claim to be the messiah that would lead the nation against Rome. This is what Judas wanted as a zealot for Jesus to do and why Judas betrayed Him failing to see His true mission and not believing that Jesus was the Son of God. The Jews of the time were expecting a conquering messiah to begin the messianic age and rule the world. This conquering messiah to defeat all of Israel’s enemies is prophesied to come as well as the suffering messiah. Jesus first coming was the suffering messiah to atone for the sins of man. The messiah that the Jews are expecting is the second coming of Christ with the final judgment. So your contention that Hagee is a nut is just plain wrong. He just understands scripture a lot better than most who chose to play ignorant and pick and chose words and not the real meaning.

St. Peter and St.Paul explain the very same thing in detail in their letters and preaching to the Jews, that the Jews failed to recognize the messiah because He first had to die and suffer for our sins.

He stands nearly alone in his interpetation of a dual covenant.

Vist any of the major theology forums and post that doctrine and see how far it flies.

You are “attempting” to make an argument from silence (what Jesus didn’t say)

I understand your parroting his book but unfortunaetly his view has very little scriptual support and I would be generous to call it a minority view.

He is quick to attempt to silence his critics with the “replacement theologian label” when in fact the majority of covenant theologians and dispensationalists believe that God is not yet finished with Israel, that the Church hasn’t replaced Israel, and that their salvation is through the Lord Jesus Christ. TODAY is the day of salvation.
