John McCain, the End Times and Israel

Thursday, March 13, 2008

By Rev. Stephen Sizer


"All I can tell you is I'm very proud to have pastor Hagee's support," Mr. McCain said.

For the past few weeks we've been running an articleby Christian Policy Institute's, Stan Moody, on the extremist Christian Zionist views of now former long-shot Republican Presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee. Most notable in Moody' article was the revelation that Huckabee favors a Palestinian state -- in Saudi Arabia or Egypt!

Those who are acquainted with the teachings of the extremist wing of the Christian Zionist movement headed by CUFI's,John Hagee,will immediately recognize one of their primary contentions, which is that Palestinians have no valid claim to the land they currently inhabit. It makes no difference that this is the land of their or their forbearers'' birth. According to biblical promises it all belongs to the world's Jewish community -- the West Bank, Gaza Strip, the whole shebang. God gave it to them. It's theirs to do with as they see fit. For Huckabee this suggests the mass removal of Palestinians to other parts of the Arab world. Huckabee favors ethnic cleansing!

What is behind this is the belief harbored by extremist Christian Zionists that the second coming of Jesus Christ is related to the Jewish re-possession of the biblical lands of Israel and re-building ofthe Temple in Jerusalem on the site currently occupied by two of Islam's holiest mosques.Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World, is well aware. Political expediency, of course, dictates that people like John Hagee and Mike Huckabee deny that this End Time's theology has anything to do with their support for Israel. But in point of fact it does, as anyone who has read Hagee's,

No one would accuse the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, of being an extremist Christian Zionist. He is not, like Huckabee, a darling of the Christian right. Many in this camp, including Focus on the Family's,James Dobson,say they will not under any circumstances give himtheir support. Yet according to John Hagee, McCain is firmly in the Christian Zionist camp. He has, in fact, apparently endorsed not only Hagee's insistence on unconditional support for Israel, but also his more extremist views on the End Times. At the very least he has done nothing to repudiate them.

Here is an excerpt from a piece done by Bruce Wilsona year ago (Feb. 23, 2007) that appeared on the blogsite, AlterNet, raising the right questions about McCain's ties to the extremist Christian Zionist, John Hagee while also showing that McCain's courting of Hagee goes way back. It makes for chilling reading.

McCain Courts "Apocalypse Pastor" Hagee
Posted by Bruce Wilson(on Alternet.org) at 7:19 AM on February 23, 2007.

TIM RUSSERT: So we could have two wars at once?
SEN. McCAIN: I think we could have Armageddon.
- John McCain, on the Iran crisis. April 2nd 2006, on Meet The Press.
A few weeks ago, to little notice, Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee, founder of the new "apocalypse now!" national lobbying group CUFI met with Presidential candidate and US Senator John McCain and, over breakfast, discussed Israel and "other matters" Pastor Hagee declined to detail in the email he sent out to members of the CUFI mailing list because "This newsflash goes to the ends of the earth and I don't want to read it in the media tomorrow".

At July 19th, 2006 Washington DC inaugural event for CUFI, after recorded greeting from George W. Bush, with four US Senators and the Israeli ambassador to the US in attendance, Pastor John Hagee stated : "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... a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ."

So, what were the "secret matters" John Hagee and John McCain discussed last January 29th ? And, why is Senator McCain seeking political support from an advocate for apocalyptic war ?

Pastor Haee's email to members of CUFI :

"CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR ISRAEL
Membership Update
January 29, 2007

Newsflash!

This morning I had an extended breakfast with Senator John McCain of Arizona. Our topic of discussion was Israel and his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States of America.

Senator McCain's comments concerning Israel are on target! He gets it! While I do not want to put the specifics of our conversation in this update I am glad to report to our leadership and supporters that John McCain is solidly pro-Israel.


We discussed his positions on other matters that I will share with you when I speak with you in person. This newsflash goes to the ends of the earth and I don't want to read it in the media tomorrow."

Here's a brain twister for all those CUFI's types who just can't wait for nukes to start dropping all over the ME so they can get Raptured up to heaven.

There's a passage in the KJV bible that says:

"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves (Matt. 7:15).

Throw in the fact that many CUFI types refer to Jesus Christ as the "Lamb of God."

Consider the fact that a lamb is a type of sheep.

So, Mr. Hagee, what does that make your version of Jesus Christ?

BTW, by praying and hoping and wishing for that Rapture thing, aren't you violating one of the commandments, that says "Thou shalt not Kill?"

Or is that commandment optional?
