Subject:       John Hagee - Festivals

Dear Eddie:

     While I only caught a portion of it, John Hagee, Cornerstone 
Church, San Antonio, Tx. while appearing on TBN's Praise The Lord 
telecast 01/20/98, preached about Seven Festivals.  He included a 
brief explanation of each Festival.  Material apparently comes from his 
latest book currently being released.  I failed to remember the name 
of the book.

     I did not hear him say anything about the Sabbath days during 
the time I listened to him.  While he mentioned the Ten Commandments, 
he generalized.   The latter reminds me that several years ago I ran 
across him preaching a series of messages on the Ten Commandments.  
Not surprising, when he reached the 4th., he went into a tap-dance 
routine, leaving all 'perfectly unclear' as to what was correct.

     If others heard it in it's entirety, maybe they'll comment.

Shalom!

P.C. Mixon, Townsend, Tn.

        I did not watch the program but I did have others tell me 
about it. I did happen to watch his Sunday's sermon on 
TBN entitled, "Israel: The Apple of God's Eye". It was a VERY VERY
VERY VERY VERY Pro-Israel message. The message was simply 
outstanding!

        John Hagee loves the Jewish people. John Hagee loves and 
supports the nation of Israel. John Hagee unashamedly talks about his 
love for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. Most recently, 
John Hagee contributed one million dollars (you will see this in the 
Arutz-7 News from Israel which I would be forwarding to the 
newsgroup) to help offset the cost of bringing Russian Jews to 
Israel. I don't know very many Christian organizations who have given 
one million dollars to show their love and support for the Jewish 
people and the nation of Israel as did John Hagee.

He said that this coming Sunday that he will be talking about the 
Festivals! He said that this is mainly an unheard message in the 
Christian churches.

       Let's give credit where credit is due. John Hagee (or much of 
Christianity) was not talking about the Festivals 5 or 10 years ago. 

       However, God is awakening the church to the significance of 
richness of our Hebraic Roots and how the Biblical Festivals teach 
about the 1st and 2nd coming of the Messiah and our personal 
relationship with God. I sent John Hagee  a copy of my book, "The 
Seven Festivals of the Messiah". Did he read it? I don't know but I 
do praise God that John Hagee is now talking about the Biblical 
Festivals on TBN and in his sermons at his church. Many more 
Christians will be open to studying and observing the Biblical 
Festivals because of how God is using John Hagee's influence among
Christians to encourage them to examine the Biblical Festivals and 
their importance in the plan of God.

             I am blessed that so many people on the newsgroup have 
read my book, "The Seven Festivals of the Messiah". I am currently 
negotiating with the publisher to get the book reprinted. I am 
excited that when the book is reprinted that many more people will be 
able to study about the Festivals of our Messiah.

              I praise God for how He is using people like John Hagee 
to awaken Christians to stand with the Jewish people, support the 
nation of Israel and examine our Hebraic Roots and the importance of 
the Biblical Festivals. Baruch HaShem!
