Hagee stated on July 19, 2006 that "The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God's plan for both Israel and the West...." Which Bible verse inspired him to utter this - the one that says "Love ye your enemies" or the one saying "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"?
The funny part is, the Jews also have their own version of Armageddon, it just that it is obviously different from the version of the fundamentalists. In the Jewish version, Mashiah (Messiah) will come and put Jews in charge, and the rest of Goim (non Jews) will become their slaves. Those Christians that were supportive, will be slaves with more rights, so to say. Christian Zionists, as far as I know, have a similar belief, just in their version Jesus will judge everyone, and only those who aligned themselves with Jesus will be saved. Meaning, that if Jews won't convert, they also will be destroyed.
It's like both psycho Jews and psycho Christians run this deception game, where they think that the other party doesn't really knows that they are being deceived. Or maybe they don't really care.
So, in this video we see the following. Two guys (preachers) talk in a matter of fact/news report style about this recent significant event. Why it's significant to them? Start listening at 4:00 min. The guy says that this has to do with prophecy in Scriptures, and they have been waiting for it. Yes, they say it's bad, because it means the total destruction of Jerusalem and the region, but also that it has to happen because it is written in the Scripture. Notice that they do lean toward the Israeli part much more. But also notice that they say that only those who will align themselves with Jesus will be saved. Better do it now, before it's too late kind of thing.
There is also
this video, to give you another example of who these guys are. Very fascinating (again, in a creepy way ;)). actually.
So in summary, it seems like there is a concerted effort from both sides to speed up the Armageddon, even if it means great pain and destruction (or something "bad" as they call it).
Also, just remembered about a post I wrote on the similar topic in 2010, during the time of Israeli attack on Gaza:
Keit said:
Something a bit unrelated. Christian fundamentalists are following all the recent developments in the region and Israel with great interest, maybe because the destruction of Israel will start the long awaited war and then rapture. According to their "plan", the things will start rolling pretty quickly after Jews will build their Third Temple. And apparently they need a kosher red heifer for this, and The Temple Institute _http://www.templeinstitute.org/red_heifer/red_heifer_contents.htm been working on it. So today I found a video _http://vanshardware.com/2010/03/the-temple-institute-the-red-heifer-is-ready-for-the-third-temple (posted on March 17) by a fundamentalist young person who listened to an interview with Temple Institute rabbi where he declared that they already have one and even more than one red heifers in secret location ready to be sacrificed.
Maybe, since the idea of Israel's destruction ties together with the idea of fundamentalist belief of an upcoming Armageddon and return of Jesus, it would be also in their benefit to actually support Israel on its way to self-destruction, including funds or military support, attack on Iran, etc. For example, Netanyahu's
recent visit in Canada and its fundamentalist prime minister, Harper:
To accept that the military actions in Lebanon and Gaza are defensive retaliations is to live in a world of denial as to the reality of Israeli military goals that are part and parcel of the whole historical Israeli/Zionist ideal of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its indigenous population. Harper’s fundamentalist religious background, although never exposed to the Canadian public, are well in line with similar views in the U.S. of the imminent return of Jesus and the coming apocalypse, views that tie in well with supporting the Israeli control of Palestine. [...]
Netanyahu in Canada,
“is looking to Canada for validation and confirmation regarding the threat posed by Iran,” said Moshe Ronen, chairman of the Canada-Israel Committee. “He wants and needs Canada to articulate a view that Iran represents the most dangerous threat to global security and that the international community cannot allow itself to be distracted from addressing the threat it represents.”
will definitely share this on social media
