Book Review: Who are the Chosen People?
Summary: 2 Stars
I have another issue with this book. Pastor Hagee makes it seem that Jewish people are a race. A Jewish person nowaday is mostly called Jewish because of religion only. Biblical Jews have been mixing with many nations since bible times. Israel is now composed mostly of Germans, Polish etc.. in other words, "northern Europeans," who have converted over to Judaism and now considered Jews. So Hagee, who are the chosen people you are talking about???Book Review: Why We Christians Should Always Support Israel
Summary: 5 Stars
If there is one thing that I have learned after becoming a Christian is that there is a great deal of love growing in my heart toward Israel. Christians, whether in the United States, Western Europe, or wherever, must come together in love toward Israel--seek life and protection and care for Israel. John Hagee is an example of a Christian leader who loves Israel. His compassion toward the Jewish people should be an example for each and every one of us. For almost two thousand years (since the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD) up to mid-20th century, the Jewish people were spread far and wide--but now they have come home. We as Christians must protect Israel, defend Israel, and demand that our representatives protect and defend Israel. To turn our backs on the Jewish people, as found in this book, is to turn our backs upon God's decrees to care for His people. This may be the Church Age ushered in at Pentecost to what we as Christians are today, a call toward all people--both Jew and Gentile alike--but we the Church must never ever either turn our backs on Israel or promote turmoil toward Israel. By reading In Defense of Israel I hope that you find your eyes and minds and hearts open to the need to care for the Jewish people and their God-given state, Israel. Hagee goes into account of the history of Israel, the history of anti-Semitism, and the call to Christians to support the Jewish people. I hope that you are educated by this book.
Postsript:
As has been asked, I am giving a bit more information about this book. Hagee's book is more of an introduction than a heavy theological thesis concerning the Christian's obligation (both the Jewish Christian and the Gentile Christian) to take care of Jews and the Jewish land, Israel, given to Abraham by God as seen in Genesis (and forward through the times of Moses to David, et cetera). There are better books out there for more in-depth exploration toward the "Jewish question" (as might be considered), still, the book contains enough theology and background information to act as an introduction to those who wish to start understanding not only what is going on in Israel as of right now, but also toward understanding God's plans for Israel as found in both the Old Testament and in the New Testament. There is also a consideration and examination toward anti-Semitism.
But again, this book is an introduction to why Hagee believes that we as Christians should come together and stand next to our brothers and sisters under God's plan, that is, the reason why Christians should care for and protect (and seek governmental protection) toward Israel as Israel faces as much persecution now through the evils that surround this nation given by God. There will be people who disagree with this book simply because they disagree with PreMill interpretation of prophecy--but don't let that make you turn away from the book! Whatever your studies and interpretation of prophecy, we must still all remember that (as Hagee points out directly and explicitly) the Jews are still the Jews, Abraham's children, and thus we must care for them and the country given to them by God as promised from God to Abraham all the way through David and into the future.
Book Review: insiteful and mind pondering
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always felt that Israel is God sent and protected, but this book brings to light many aspects that the liberal media does not want to report and scriptures to back it up.Book Review: this is a hogwash book if you don't believe the bible to 100% true, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
if you DO believe the Bible to be the LIVING, BREATHING, WORD of GOD - then this book is dead on!!!!! The only complaint I have about it, which John Hagee admitted himself later, was improper terminology when he stated that Jesus did not come to be the "Messiah" for Israel. This is "technically" inaccurate... Jesus did come to be the "REINING Messiah" here on earth for Israel in His 1st coming, but He DID come to be the "Messiah" over death, hell, and the grave. Jesus WILL, however, come again to be the reining Messiah here on earth, in Israel, at a later date... The BIBLE clearly teaches this... If the reader does not accept this as a fact, then he does not acknowledge the Bible as the Word of God!!!
Just from personal experience over how my life has been blessed this last year, I can testify that Genesis 12:3 is an eternal covenant between the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob... Most Jews today DON'T accept Jesus as Messiah; therefore, they, for a time, have been cut off spiritually - this is actually a benefit for us gentiles (those not Jewish in the flesh).
Matthew 25:40, I don't care how it's misquoted in churches, is LITERALLY out of the Greek translation talking about how the gentile nations treated Jesus' "brethern" in the flesh (Jewish people)- not any beggar on the street.
On the flip side, I can absolutely see how, if you DON'T accept the Bible to be God's Word, people hate Jewish people because many of them are wealthy, greedy people... However, it is not for their sake we as Christians should go out of our way to bless them; we should actually bless them out of being selfish on our own part and hold the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to His covenant in Genesis 12:3 and "get our piece of the pie" - to quote a certain presidential candidate!!!
