This article is all over the map, especially with respect to John Hagee. The man does not preach the “prosperity gospel”. He does have a heavy emphasis on his eschatological views, which revolve around Israel. Any sense of blessing of a nation or individual by being kindly disposed toward Israel reflects back to God’s original covenant with Abraham, including “I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee.”

Secondly, no serious proponent of dispensational eschatology would ever teach that any of our tenets can ever do anything to hasten or retard the apocalypse. Nor would he ever overlook the fact that God has His own special end-times agenda vis a vis Israel which none of us can affect one way or the other.

Well, it is the Forward and written by a University of Chicago English professor. No way is it going to be a true defense of Christian Zionism by far, but it sure is remarkable that it admits this much truth.

I agree that the article is scatter-brained even if it makes a couple valid points. It is from the socialist Forward, after all.

Hagee is a heretic who does not believe that Jews need to go to Yeshua to be saved.
