John Hagee Teaches That The Main Trait of the Apostate Church is "Anti-Semitism"
Revelation 13: 11-12 says "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."
The head of the first beast whose deadly wound was healed is in Revelation 13: 3, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
The first beast in Revelation 13:2 is said to be like the leopard, bear and lion, referring back to the first three kingdoms in Daniel 7: 4-8. Church Christians do not understand this because they have been taught - or if they are taught at all about Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 - that the four kingdoms of Daniel 7 are the same as those of Daniel 2. The four kingdoms of Daniel 2 are a quartet of kingdoms, all of which arose before the Cross. Why would Daniel not be given prophecy about another set of four kingdoms which were to rise up after the Cross?
Then, I John 4: 3 says "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
Physical Israel as a house, as the majority, the broad way of physical Israel, rejected Christ and it took on the spirit of anti-Christ. Again, church Christians do not fully understand this, because what many have been taught is out of dispensationalism. That remnant of physical Israel in Romans 11: 5 did accept Christ, and became the beginnings of the spiritual house of I Peter 2: 5-9, who are said to be the chosen generation, that is the chosen people. This is huge, and yet church Christians - not all, but most of them - are taught that God now has two peoples, physical Israel and the church and physical Israel is still the chosen people.
The root of Paul's good olive tree in Romans is Christ (verse 16), but the first branches are that remnant of physical Israel who were changed or born again in Christ. Christ, being in them, is the root, but they are themselves the early branches from that root. All physical Israel is not the root of the olive tree. It, as a house, rejected Christ, and so it was broken off as Romans 11: 17-20 says.
To teach, contrary to scripture, that God now has two peoples instead of the one of John 10: 16 and to honor all physical Israel as being the chosen people now about 2000 years after the Cross, is to lay the large part of the foundation for the falling away from sound doctrine of II Thessalonians 2: 3-4.
Yet John Darby came along in he 1830's and said the "Church has sought to settle itself here, but it has no place on the earth... [Though] making a most constructive parenthesis, it forms no part of the regular order of God's earthly plans, but is merely an interruption of them to give a fuller character and meaning to them..."
John. N. Darby, 'The Character of Office in The Present Dispensation'
Collected Writings., Eccl. I, Vol. I, p. 94.
"Them" are all physical Israel. The church, for Darby exists to "give
fuller character and meaning to all physical Israel." Darby thought that the purpose of the
Christian church, the ekklesia as a meeting, assembly or congregation
of Israel reborn in Christ as a spiritual house (I Peter 2:5-9), the Israel of God, made into The Body of Christ like the Catholic capital C Church, was to honor all physical
Israel.
Followers of dispensationism - and the supposed Calvinists who follow Calvin but who defend church theology - cannot accept that a major part of the falling away is due to the rise of one of the several 19th century cults to power in Christianity.
John Hagee, head of Christians United For Israel, has carried out the doctrine of dispensationalism that the Christian church's primary mission is to honor all physical Israel.
On the blog http://cufi.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=about_brog_blog#april_7_2
which is pro-John Hagee and pro-Christians United For Israel (CUFI)
the writer explains that John Hagee does not use the term in the Book
of Revelation, the )CENSORED BY CDFF), to describe the Catholic Church. The
writer of this blog says "It is actually Revelation that supplies us
with the term "(CENSORED BY CDFF)" Pastor Hagee merely explains that this
will be an "apostate church" made up of all those who abandon the
teachings of Christ and embrace false doctrines such as
anti-Semitism."
Remember that recently John Hagee in an interview on Jews On First at
http://www.jewsonfirst.org/08a/hagee_wise.html
says that Christians who say that we are spiritual Israel are guilty
of an anti-semitic theology. This was reported in an article by
Harmony Grant called John Hagee - False Prophet at
http://www.rense.com/general81/haggee.htm
To Hagee and his many dispensationalist followers, Christians who say
we are Israel are part of the "apostate church," the (CENSORED BY CDFF) of
Revelation 17: 1. Now Congress has passed "The Global Anti-Semitism
Awareness/Review Act" to create a State Department office to monitor
international anti-Semitism. The passing of this act is reported on
World Net Daily at
http://www.worldnet daily.com/ news/article. asp?ARTICLE_ ID=40868
The State Department has a 94 page document defining anti-semitism at
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/102301.pdf
This report says that "The European Monitoring Center on Racism and
Xenophobia (EUMC)"in
close collaboration with the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Office of Democratic
Institutions and Human Rights, international experts on anti-
Semitism, and civil society organizations" began discussing a common
approach to data collection on anti-Semitism. This effort led to the drafting
of a Working Definition of Anti-Semitism. The EUMC's working
definition provides a useful framework for identifying and
understanding the problem and is adopted for the purposes of this
report: "Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be
expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical
and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward
Jewish or non-Jewish individuals
and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and
religious facilities."
Because the working definition is broad, the EUMC provides
explanatory text that discusses the kinds of acts that could be
considered anti-Semitic."
"Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical
allegations about Jews as such
� or the power of Jews as a collective"such as, especially but not
exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews
controlling the media, economy, government or other societal
institutions."
Criticism of the dispensationalist promotion of a Jewish kingdom to
appear perhaps in the end times could be anti-semitism. Criticism of
Jewish Zionism would be anti-semitism.
Note that CDFF censored the word in Revelation 17: 1, which is translated
theologically correct by the New International Version as "prostute."
