Gary DeMar titled his book well, Last Days Madness. That's exactly what the church, unfortunately, is witnessing today.

Have you seen John Hagee's latest?

Did you catch that? The Jews did not reject Jesus as Messiah? Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah?

Let's see, if I remember correctly, Jesus called the Jews of His generation, "O faithless and perverse generation" (Matthew 17:17). He said of this (according to Hagee) innocent generation, "I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,' that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation" (Luke 11:49-51).

Hagee says they did not reject Jesus as Messiah. But Jesus said, "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled" (Luke 21:20-22). What Hagee's eschatology also ignores is that Jesus said of this same generation, "This generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place" (Matthew 24:34).

Hagee says that this Jewish generation did not reject the Messiah and they did not deserve to be punished. Jesus said that they did. Who should you believe?

Hagee says that Jesus did not come to be the Messiah! Do I really need to answer this one? Well, I will anyway:

Matthew 1:1: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham."

Matthew 1:16: "And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ."

John 1:41: "He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ)."

John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

John 4:25-26: "The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."

John 6:35: "And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."

John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Matthew 16:15-18: "He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

Matthew 20:28: "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Matthew 26:28: "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

Matthew 26:62-68: "And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is deserving of death." Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, saying, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?"

1 Timothy 1:15: "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief."

John Hagee is clearly a false teacher and a false prophet. His Christology is so diminished, that I dare repeat 1 John 2:22: "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?" Indeed, John said again in 1 John 4:3, "every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world." Has John Hagee searched so hard to find "the Antichrist" and missed that he has become one himself?
