Rabbi Jeremy Gimpel: When a man comes, and he fights the wars of Israel, defeats the enemies, builds the temple, peace on earth - the leader that did that, we will all kneel before the king. Do you know what I mean? Whoever that is. So, your vision of that - you say it's a second coming. Okay. We say it's a first coming.
Pastor Anderson: Look, the Jews are ready to accept the antichrist as their messiah, and yet Christians are being taught that in the end times, all the Jews are going to believe on Jesus Christ. Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what the Devil is doing here. When the Jews accept the antichrist as their messiah, then all of the apostate Christians are going to point to that and say, "Look, this is the second coming of Jesus Christ! Look, all the Jews believe on him!" What is the Devil's goal with the antichrist? To get people to believe that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ. And like all other false doctrine, it is based on taking one scripture completely out of context. They will take the end of Romans 11 and completely ignore the beginning of Romans 11, and they will just go straight to the end, straight to verse 26, "And so all Israel shall be saved," and they will say, "See, right there! In the end times, everybody in Israel is going to get saved. They are going to believe in Jesus!" They are forgetting that the Bible just finished telling us in Romans 9 that "they are not all Israel which are of Israel." The physical descendants are not the true Israel! He said, "He is not a Jew which is one outwardly. He is a Jew which is one inwardly." It is those of us who believe in Jesus Christ who are Israel. How could you look at an unsaved person and say, "They are Israel," when the Bible says, "All Israel shall be saved"? That tells me that anyone who is not saved is not Israel. It is the antichrist, not Jesus Christ, who is going to unite Jews with false Christians and with every other religion of the world.
In order for the Jewish antichrist to unite all religions of the world, the Devil must convince mainstream Christianity to see the Jews as fellow believers, in spite of their rejection and blasphemy of Jesus Christ. Tele-evangelists, such as John Hagee, ignore the clear teachings of the New Testament, and apply the promises made to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, to modern-day, Christ-rejecting Israel. Anyone who holds a biblical view that the Jews are no longer God's chosen people, is labeled by the media as an anti-Semite.
John Hagee: Israel's fight is our fight! We are one! We are united! We will not be discouraged! We will not be defeated! We will not be intimidated! We will not sit down! We will not be silent! We are the worst nightmare of the anti-Semites of the world, and the victory is going to be ours!
Ted Cruz: If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you, and God bless you.
Joel Osteen: We stand with the people of Israel.
Robert Jeffress: I am asking you to join with me and every Christian, and every Jew, and every freedom-loving American, to demand that this president and congress do whatever is necessary to eradicate the evil of ISIS and radical Islam from the face of the earth. It is time to act now.
Woman preacher 1: "And I will bless them that bless you and curse him that curses you."
Woman preacher 2: You don't want to be an enemy of Israel.
Woman preacher 1: "And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Woman preacher 2: Yes, amen.
TV preacher 4: You're either for or against her. You are one of the two.
John Hagee: The man, the church, the nation, that blesses the state of Israel and the Jewish people will be blessed beyond measure.
Benny Hinn: Blessing Israel doesn't just mean to say, "Well, I bless you." You have to stand with them in their hour of need.
Pastor Anderson: Of course the Bible says in 2 John 9-11 that
"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
Pastor Anderson: And what are you doing when you bid someone God speed? You are blessing them. So today's evangelical Christianity is saying that we must bless Israel if we want God to bless us, yet 2 John teaches that if we bless those who deny the Son of God, we are a partaker of their evil deeds.
Texe Marrs: Evangelicals, of course, are a great segment of American Christianity - the Southern Baptists, the Pentecostals, Assemblies of God - all of these are very fervent groups, and they have basically been very pro-Israel, pro-Zionist. Many of them have actually closed the door to conversion by saying, "Oh, you don't need Jesus. You're a Jew."
In the Houston Chronicle, John Hagee was quoted as saying:
"I'm not trying to convert the Jewish people to the Christian faith. There is nothing in "The Night to Honor Israel" that does that. In fact, trying to convert Jews is a "waste of time." The Jewish person who has his roots in Judaism is not going to convert to Christianity. Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha’i, needs to believe in Jesus. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced with Christianity."
Pastor Anderson: And really that is the most anti-Semitic thing you could possibly say: "Don't evangelize the Jews." That is going to send the Jews to Hell. The Bible says:
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
Pastor Anderson: Yet John Hagee teaches that the Jews are already good to go and that we don't need to evangelize the Jews.
Pastor Furse: Well, John Hagee is totally wrong. The Bible tell us that we are to win the lost, and that we are to preach the Gospel to every creature. Now I mentioned earlier about C.I. Scofield being divorced and remarried. Isn't it interesting that John Hagee is the same story: divorced his wife, remarried another lady, and leads a large Pentecostal church, and emphasizes Israel to the point of idolatry.
John Hagee: Free is free indeed! Give him praise and glory in the house of God.
Announcer: From the 18,000 people who belong to his church in San Antonio, TX, to the 99 million homes he says tune into his weekly radio and television broadcast, John Hagee has built an empire sharing the Gospel of Israel with evangelicals around the world. And as the leader of CUFI, his power extends from the pulpit to politics.
Pastor Anderson: John Hagee is a blasphemous false teacher who teaches that Jesus Christ did not come to this earth to be the Messiah.
John Hagee: "In Defense of Israel" will shake Christian theology. It scripturally proves that the Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. It will also prove that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah. It will prove that there was a Calvary conspiracy between Rome, the high priest, and Herod to execute Jesus as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live. Since Jesus refused by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah, how can the Jews be blamed for rejecting what was never offered? Read it in this shocking expose, "In Defense of Israel."
Announcer: This later book by Pastor John Hagee is destined to generate lively discussions among Christians the world over.
Pastor Furse: John Hagee is not an independent Baptist, nor a King James Bible believer, so a lot of guys that watch this documentary will say, "Well, that's not our guys." All right, well how about Sam Gipp, who just about a year ago preached in a church in Idaho and said (and I can almost quote it word for word), "You know what I never call Jesus? I never call him my Messiah."
Sam Gipp: You know what I never call Jesus Christ? I never call him my messiah. Do you know why? You say, "Well, he's the Messiah." He ain't your Messiah! Unless you're a Jew, he's not your Messiah. Are you from Gentile stock? All right, we were never promised a Messiah."
Pastor Furse: I'm sorry, but Sam Gipp is wrong, and he might be popular even among independent Baptists, but that is wrong, whether it is Sam Gipp or Peter Ruckman, or whoever it is. The word of God is the word of God, and we don't allow, whether it's Scofield, or John Hagee, or our favorite preacher, or our favorite professor or teacher, to influence what the word actually says. Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He is my Messiah. He is everyone's Messiah.
Hagee goes on to say in the Houston Chronicle article, "Many Christian theologians are anti-Semitic because they say the covenant with the Jews is gone - that Jews have been replaced by Christianity, and that Israel does not deserve American military and support."
Not only do Christian zionists like Hagee teach that CHRISTIANS must support Israel, they also demand that the US government support Israel militarily and financially. And because evangelical Christians make up a large part of the voting populace, politicians dutifully make the trip to Israel to pray to the Jewish god at the Wailing Wall.
MSNBC Announcer 1: There are a lot of socially conservative, evangelical, Republican voters who care a lot about this issue, and if they can see Ted Cruz coming out on Fox News and saying, "I am 100% behind Israel." When they see that happening, a lot of conservative voters are going to say, "Hey, this Cruz guy is better than I thought!"
MSNBC Announcer 2: In fact, they just had the Christians United for Israel event, which is an organization of evangelical Christians that are very, very pro-Israel. This is an image - I think we have this - of Rand Paul praying with them. There he is. He is praying with the CUFI folks.
Ted Cruz: Let me say this: those who hate Israel hate America, and those who hate Jews hate Christians.
Jim Staley: So opposition to Israel is opposition to God, and I don't care what they believe and where they are at on the spiritual timeline because it's not my problem. I have his back, and it doesn't matter what he does or where he's at. As long as he calls upon the name of Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that's my brother.
Rabbi Jeremy Gimpel: There is going to be, I think, a turn toward a more biblical Christianity, a more Jewish Christianity, and the lines between us - it was like, "Oh, those are Christians; those are Jews," are going to be like, "Oh, those are sort of like our brothers!"
Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel is grateful for the support of America's people and of America's presidents from Harry Truman to Barack Obama.
Barack Obama: In fact, I am proud to say that no US administration has done more in support of Israel's security than ours. None! Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise! It is a fact.
Mitt Romney: We recognize Israel's right to defend itself, and that it is right for America to stand with you.
John Hagee: Therefore it is time for America to embrace the words of Senator Joseph Liebermann and consider a military preemptive strike against Iran to prevent a nuclear holocaust in Israel and a nuclear attack in America.
Pastor Anderson: In 2 Chronicles 19, a godly king by the name of Jehoshaphat was going to help Israel militarily. Here is what God told him in verse 2:
"And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD."
Pastor Anderson: So we are told today that if we support the nation of Israel, we are going to be blessed by God because of Genesis 12, when in reality the Bible teaches that if we help an ungodly and wicked nation like Israel, we will have God's wrath upon us.
Pastor Filenius: Why should we as Bible believing Christians support the nation of Israel when the nation of Israel won't even allow a Christian to immigrate to their country. If you want to immigrate to Israel, you have to renounce the name of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Anderson: So for someone to become an Orthodox Jew or have the right of return, they have to renounce Christianity, for example.
Leader Schesnol: They do.
Rabbi Abrami: You can't be a Jew and a Christian. It's one or the other.
Leader Schesnol: So with regard to the modern state of Israel, it requires the renunciation of one's former religious affiliation, and it requires a number of rituals that are designed to cleanse one of their prior religious affiliation.
Pastor Anderson: So someone who is not a Jew doesn't just automatically have an invitation to immigrate to Israel then?
Leader Schesnol: Not as a citizen.
Pastor Anderson: So in order to immigrate to Israel, they would have to renounce Christianity in order...
Leader Schesnol: to become a citizen, and they would have to be converted by an orthodox rabbi.
Pastor Filenius: I personally know me who have gone over to Israel, believing that Israel is the promised land, and that the Jews are God's chosen people, and they go there with that in their heart, and they go there to witness to them and tell them about Christ, but it is illegal in Israel to pass out tracts. The cops will come and harass them, and they will even be under the threat of arrest or deportation. The Bible is true when it tells us that they are the enemies of the Gospel. Romans 11:28.
"As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes."
Pastor Filenius: It says it right there in the word of God. They are the enemies of the Gospel.
Pastor Furse: In June 2014 during gay pride month, the United States embassy flew the American flag, and underneath the American flag, they hoisted the gay pride flag. For the last few years now, Tel Aviv has been voted the #1 gay city in the world amongst the gay community themselves. They voted Tel Aviv the #1 place in the world - not San Francisco, not New York, but Tel Aviv.
Glenn Beck: We were established for the establishment of Israel! Our markings are all over. Take out a dollar out of your pocket. Look at the great seal. You'll notice in between the wingspan of the eagle, you will see the star of David made out of 13 stars. Now why is the star of David there?
John Hagee: Around that star is the Shekinah glory cloud burst, symbolizing the Shekinah glory that was over the tabernacle. George Washington said, "I want that to be on the dollar so that people will recognize the contribution that the Jewish people have made to the United States of America."
Not only are today's Christians being taught to be pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, the strange doctrines of the Talmud and the Kabbalah are also creeping into churches and being taught as Christian doctrine. For example, many pastors will use the term "Shekinah" as if it were something from the Hebrew Old Testament, when in reality the word is never found in the Bible one time.
Rabbi Mann: So the "Shekinah" refers to the divine presence.
Rabbi Wiener: And it's a feminine word, by the way. It's not masculine.
TV Rabbi: For example, if Moses de León had come out and said, "I have an idea. God is a woman." That might not have gone over so well. But now he was saying that the ancient Rabbi Shimon was teaching us about Shekinah, the feminine half of God, and her romance with her divine partner, the Holy One, blessed be he.
Rabbi Wiener: So there is a belief that God could be both male and female.
Rabbi Abrami: The Shekinah is the indwelling presence of God in the universe. It's what eminates from the being of God. But for Jews, Shekinah and God are one and the same, and it is almost forbidden to separate them. God simply manifests himself, or herself, in the form of the inspiration of the Shekinah.
Pastor Furse: Shekinah is something that is part of the Talmud - something that is part of Judaism, not Christianity. And yet, how many Baptist preachers have used that phrase "Shekinah glory" in church, and it's not even scriptural.
TV Preacher 5: Friends, we need to grasp this, that the Shekinah glory is in us. This presence that we talked about, this presence that came in this upper room to the disciples, the Shekinah glory - it's in us as believers.
Pastor Anderson: The Bible is clear from Genesis to Revelation that God is a "he" not a "she." If you teach that God is both a "he" and a "she," you have a different god. The Christian Bible teaches that man was made in the image of God, and in 1 Corinthians 11 the Bible says:
"For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
Pastor Anderson: So according to 1 Corinthians 11, man is not to cover his head because man is in the image of God, as opposed to woman. That is why even in Genesis 1:27, it says:
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Pastor Anderson: They were created male and female, but he was created in the image of God. What does it mean to be in the image of God? to look like God. When Jesus walked on this earth, he was a man, and God the Father is masculine. This is a blasphemous teaching of new age mysticism that worships mother earth and the female spirit, and the goddess, and the Kabbalah, and the new age - that's where all this stuff is coming from.
Leonard Nimoy: This is the shape of the letter Shin - Hebrew alphabet Shin - a very interesting letter in the language. It is the first letter in the word Shaddai, the first letter in the word Shalom, and the first letter in the word Shekinah, which is the name of the feminine aspect of God.
Spock: Live long and prosper, image of Sirach, father of all we now hold true.
Leonard Nimoy: It's great. People don't realize they're blessing each other with this. (laughter)
