John Hagee's Church Sings For The Destruction of Israel ... text and video

John McCain and John Hagee have co-endorsed each other (multiple times). McCain pursued hagee's endorsement for over a year and showed up, at Hagee's July 2007 "Christians United For Israel" event, to give a speech. In early 2007, John Hagee and Jerry Falwell helped stage a fund raiser for Mccain. McCain has shared a stage with Hagee multiple times, endorsing Hagee simply by his presence but McCain has also praised (multiple times, on national television and at public events) Hagee and Hagee's leadership. Two days ago I discoverd that, in according to John Hagee's own written words, in Hagee's "Prophecy Study Bible", members of John Hagee's Christians United For Israel routinely sing, at every "Night To Honor Israel" event they hold, a joyful-sounding song which, in scriptural terms, refers to Israel's coming, expected destruction. Building on my last discovery, of a John Hagee sermon in which Hagee claims God sent Hitler and the Nazis, to chase Europe's Jews towards Palestine, and that Jews have dead (or non-living, inert) souls (see YouTube video towards the end of this post), this new finding helps solidify my case that Pastor John Hagee, who also has given a sermon espousing a crypto anti-Semitic conspiracy theory - of "international financial power brokers basedd in Europe", is an anti-Semite of the first magnitude.

The lyrics in "Blow The Trumpet in Zion", sung at nearly ever Christians United For Israel event, come from the 2nd Book of Joe, below:


Joel 2 (New King James Version)

Joel 2


1 Blow the trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:


2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.


3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.


4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like swift steeds, so they run.


5 With a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.


6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces are drained of color.


7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break ranks.


8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down.


9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief.


10 The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.


11 The LORD gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?


In the YouTube video excerpt below, from the Christians United For Israel "Night To Honor Israel" event July 2007, members of John Hagee's San Antonio Cornerstone Church sing "Blow The Trumpet In Zion" :

1. His Church Would Do Well to Ostracize Him

he should be ridiculed for even calling himself a Christian.

3. People Like Genocidal Joe Lieberman

don't understand at a fundamental(ist) level that Hagee and his ilk mean no good for the people of Israel. What Hagee is doing, apart from lining his own filthy pockets, is establishing a 5th Column sort of beachhead inside Israel, where he can advocate for nuclear war with Iran. If he succeeds, his fondest wish is that it will force Jesus to come back, after which Hagee will personally get to start putting Jews to the sword who don't "confess him." Yep. Sure enough.

4. It is my understanding that hymn has to do with the end of the

world, Armageddon, not the singled out destruction of Israel.

I'm past being shocked and all.
