It's a lot worse than that. Hagee is a 'Dominionist'. Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.
Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”
They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.
Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.
All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."
By allowing this insidious agenda to progress, we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious nut-jobs are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

John Hagee represents a large segment of southern evangelical Christianity that essentially believes all Christians will be "raptured up" to heaven before the tribulation at the end of the age, leaving the Jews as the only God believers remaining on earth.
Then, all the nations will attack the Jews.
When that happens, Jesus will return, along with all those who were with him in heaven, destroy evil, rescue the Jews, and usher in the next world age, where God will rule from Jerusalem, and the Jews will rule with him.
This is problematic, for several key reasons.
First, the rapture theory is late, speculative, and has little or no direct support in scripture.
Second, the modern day state of Israel is about as secular and atheistic as any country in the world, even more so than Russia. Not only do the majority of the Jews still fail to accept Jesus Christ, most do not worship the one, true, God at all.
Third, Mr. Hagee fails to consider the God ordained primacy of the Catholic church in his end time calculations.
God fulfilled all the promises he made to Israel when he conducted the Israelites into the promised land. He fulfilled all the promises made to Abraham when he established the new covenant church.
It's the church, not Israel, that matters today. This is not to say that Israel won't play some part in the end times. But, in the whole scheme of things, a few million largely apostate Israelis can't begin to equal the importance of the hundreds of millions of faithful Christians, who have already been baptized, and are now part of God's own very personal, and immediate "family".
Jesus personally established the Catholic church, personally installed Peter as first pope, pledged the Holy Spirit as the church's permanent truth advocate, and Jesus still personally directs his church from heaven. He also promised to protect his church from evil, and to stay with his church until he returned for it at the end of the age.
Jesus never made these types of specific promises or arrangements for Israel, or for any of the other later, Christian denominations.
The church is God's chosen, new covenant "instrument" of his salvation and grace. If the Jews (or anybody else) want to be part of it, they're certainly welcome, but if they think the old law alone can still save them, they're in for an unpleasant surprise.
Mr. Hagee's faulty teachings lead to only one clear conclusion: Hagee is more anti-Catholic and anti-pope than he is pro Israel or anything else. This has adversely affected his interpretation of scripture, and skewed his "take" on all the other related end time events.
Could Hagee still be right? Maybe. But I wouldn't make plans to be raptured up, any time soon.

Everyone should beware of televangelist. Not saying all are bad .
I watch John Hagee and find him very knowlegable but ask him to come and minister at your church or meeting and you will need $10,000 plus. But that comes along with most TV preachers.
Also, alot of people give money to these people, even paying their tithes (which is between them and God) but call one televangelist up when you are sick or down and out and see if they will show up at your door and pray for you. ~just a thought~
More than likely you will get a 1800 number to call...
God Bless

John Hagee is an Israeli agent and his primary message is that the US should do whatever Israel tells us to do. And, US taxpayers should foot the bill.
I do not understand how he maintains a tax exemption, nor do I understand why anyone considers him a "preacher." He does not "preach" the bible, he picks and chooses passages to justify his war mongering and advocacy of shoveling US tax dollars to Israel.
I watch him because I keep hoping the stage will collapse when he starts jiggling all that fat when he begins ranting about how US taxpayers should finance Israel's war crimes. In the name of his war mongering God, of course.

properly, you spoke back area of your question your self, perhaps devoid of understanding it, with the aid of fact as you're saying that's a decision.some adult men do, and a few do no longer; like breast augmentations. i think of it is common to love what you like, yet as i believe approximately who prefer one 'type' over yet another, maximum adult men are a minimum of actually obsessed on the female form and all that's staggering curvaceousness. My wager is that once a while has surpassed you will discover that the lady who's linked to those recommendations-blowing mammalia, would be greater considerable to you than her outer visual allure and you will adore each and every thing approximately her, alongside with what ever length and shape her breasts ensue to be. On a private observe: my decision is the organic boob, with the aid of fact pretend ones could be too employer and "plastic" and so don't experience as stable as a greater yielding form, i.e.- i admire the actual ingredient purely effective! I do think of that ladies folk must be happy with themselves and not bow to "societal pressures", yet we the two understand the certainty of that's somewhat different than purely asserting that, and that's greater complicated of a controversy than that. you're truthfully no longer on my own in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, if others did no longer like advancements of this type, women folk does no longer undertaking themselves to those concepts. i'm hoping this has helped.
