Land Therapy for Christian Zionists>

“Land Therapy” for Christian Zionists? What does this mean? It’s a kind of therapy that we recommend for those who do not believe God kept His word to give Israel the land promised to them in the Abrahamic Covenant. God made a promise to Abraham that he would give to his descendants the land of Canaan for a possession. He describes the land as follows:

“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates– “the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, “the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, “the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”(Gen. 15:18-21)

The time in which God promised the fulfillment of the promise names the fourth generation of Israel’s descendants. That brings us to the time of Moses and Joshua. “But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” (Gen. 15:17).

God in his long-suffering and forbearance refused to remove the nations from the land undoubtedly hoping they would repent. However, their continued transgressions filled their “cup of iniquity.” By the time of the Exodus when the promise drew near, he (more…)

Do the Egyptians Belong in Mount Zion?


Egypt's coat of arms

Egyptians to worship in Mt Zion

Do the Egyptians belong in Mt. Zion? From the beginning of Covenant Israel’s history and quest for nationhood, a mixed multitude traveled with them from Egypt.  Moses was married to an Ethiopian. In the latter days Egypt and Israel’s relationship once again unite, not as master and slave but as brethren in the new temple keeping the Feasts of the Lord.

In the prophetic imagery of Zechariah 14, the nations share in the post parousia (coming of Christ) blessings of Israel.

“And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.

If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, (more…)

Two Witnesses Prophesy – Do Hagee’s 10 Road Signs Countdown to Armageddon?


Bible pages

The Two Witnesses

So far, we have completed a survey of the first five of the alleged “signs of the times” to the terminal generation. Each of them were shown to be without Biblical basis. America and the world is being sold a bag of plug nickel’s for Bible prophecy. It is so serious that those who do advocate blowing entire countries off the map with nuclear weapons, all “in the name of the Lord!”

In today’s lesson, “Two Witnesses Prophesy – Do Hagee’s 10 Road Signs Countdown to Armageddon?, we examine number 6 of the alleged 10 Road Signs to End Times, and further answer the question, Are We the Terminal Generation?” In other words are we living in the last days of a generation about to see Christ return to this earth and set up camp in Jerusalem of Palestine? As bluntly as we can be, no.

Now those strongly disagree have probably already stopped reading, so if you’re still here, it means that you at least (more…)

10 Road Signs to Armageddon – Israel Returns to the Land Before or After the Messiah Comes?


{{en|Map of :en:Greater Israel as defined in G...

The Land of Abraham's Sojourn

This is our fourth installment John Hagee’s 10 Road Signs to Armageddon where he says the Jews will return home. According to Hagee, since the A.D. 70 destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans and their dispersion, they were without a homeland until 1948. See “Beginning of the End,” p. 93.  He then cites Jeremiah 23:7-8, to prove that the Zionist’s seizure of land from the Palestinian Arabs fulfills Bible prophecy and prepares the way for the coming of  the Messiah? Here is our study for today: 10 Road Signs to Armageddon – Israel Returns to the Land Before or After the Messiah Comes?

Does Hagee have the cart before the horse? Does he have the tail wagging the dog? In other words, does the Bible promise the inheritance of the land before the Messiah comes, or after that event?  Hagee writes that Zionists have a biblical imperative to redeem the land. “Many religious Israelis are motivated by a biblical imperative to redeem the land of Israel for the Jews and (more…)

John Hagee – 10 Signs of the Terminal Generation?

The Terminal Generation: Matthew 24: Dilemma

Hagee offers Ten Road Signs” which he believes confirms that we are living in the end of the age.   The second of those signs is taken from Zechariah 14:12-15, a text he believes speaks of the plague of nuclear warfare and/or chemical weapons.  This he calls the “Plague of the Middle East.” To understand the reasons for citing the Plague in the Middle East as a nuclear holocaust for those who fight against Jerusalem, we must take a look at the text. Let us consider, Are We in the last days, John Hagee – 10 Signs of the Terminal Generation?

“And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolved in their sockets, and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

It shall come to pass in that day that a great panic from the Lord will be among them. Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor, and raise his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be gathered together: Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.
Such also shall be the plague on the horse and the mule, on the camel and the donkey, and on all cattle that will be in those (more…)

John Hagee's Countdown to the End

Televangelist, John Hagee, Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist church in San Antonio, Texas and best selling author writes and speaks on Bible prophecy. In his Book, Beginning of the End, The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Coming Antichrist, he lists 10 reasons why our generation will see Christ’s return. In the following we survey John Hagee – 10 Signs of the Final End, Are We The Terminal Generation?

There appears to be no end to the numerous countdowns and endtime signs offered by modern day prophecy preachers. Every generation since the first have had their share of these grossly mistaken prophets. Hagee must join their ranks. Please understand, this is not a personal attack on the man. I do not know him and can only address what he writes and says about Bible prophecy. He is certainly very prominent and influential, and runs one of the most well organized Christian lobbies in the (more…)

Countdown to the Final End or A Miscalculation?


13Hagee

Eschatology Podcast

In his video posted at clipser.com, John Hagee lists 7 of his ten reasons the battle of Armageddon is imminent. In fact, two years ago, he said the coming of the Lord was so near that one could literally hear his footsteps shuffling along the clouds of heaven. Hmmm! Hold on, while I turn down my radio. Well, I’m not listening right now, and unless the FedEx plane flying over my house can be called a shuffle, I can’t hear it. Can you?  Is it a Countdown to the Final End or a Miscalculation?

Below are the seven reasons Hagee lists in the video as signs of the imminent end.

  1. Daniel prophesies that at the time of the end, knowledge shall be increased.This sounds pretty good on the surface. Especially when someone uses it to compare the secular, technical, and political knowledge of the 6th century B.C., with that of the world today. Is that prophecy or just plain old common sense? Could not anyone have foretold that common knowledge would increase. In fact, I can prophesy that 2600 years from today technology, science, mathematical, health, social and political knowledge etc will all advance beyond where it is today.What society has ever witnessed any different over time. If that is a sign of the end, it could have happened at any interval of past history.We suggest that two major errors in the (more…)

What Does God Say About the Regathering of Israel?


Jacob Wrestling with the Angel

Regathering of Israel

The regathering of Israel begins with God’s prophecy to Abraham. “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3).

The prophecy is expanded through the Patriarchs, particularly through Jacob, in his farewell address to his sons. What Does God Say About the Regathering of Israel?

Concerning Judah, he says,  The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of the people.” (Gen. 49:10).

In other words, the scepter of power or the kingdom remained with Judah until Christ returned to gather the people in (more…)

Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, Where Did You Start? Part 2


Welcome to part 2 of “Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, Where Did You Start? I’m sure that you’re like everyone else with many things to do and very little time to get it done. Well, at least that’s what it’s like for me. Taking the time to write a blog post challenges me at times, like now. But, I promised to follow up from yesterday so here we go. After looking at the source of 1 Corinthians 15 from Hosea 5:13f, we continue to examine chapter 6 in the light of what we discover there.
