Hagee: Hitler God’s chosen to get Jews to Palestine

The Revealer unearthed a scary recording from the Rev. John Hagee.

in which Hagee elaborates on his view that Hitler and the Nazis were divine agents, sent by God to (with gruesome inefficiency it would seem) chase Europe’s Jews towards Palestine. In his 2006 book “Jerusalem Countdown”, Hagee proposed that anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves - the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive. In the sermon Hagee also clarifies a point, on his theological views, that has long concerned me…[Note: excerpt from John Hagee sermon, given probably in the late 1990’s - with its themes plied into the John Hagee books “Battle For Jerusalem” (2001, reprinted 2003) and “Jerusalem Countdown” (2006), begins 1:00 minute into the video]
