From: P. C. Mixon To: "Eddie Chumney" <heb_roots_chr@mail.geocities.com> 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. >From Eddie: ************** 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.
