John Hagee Says Ebola Is God's Judgment On America Because Obama Is Trying To Divide Israel

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/john-hagee-says-ebola-gods-judgment-america-because-obama-trying-divide-israel

On yesterday's broadcast of the "Hagee Hotline," televangelist and Christians United For Israel founder John Hagee issued a stark warning to America that the Ebola crisis is God's judgment on America for President Obama's failure to adequately support Israel.

"I want every American to hear this very clearly," Hagee said, citing Joel 3 to warn that God will judge any nation that seeks to divide up Israel and declaring that "our president is dead set on dividing Jerusalem. God is watching and he will bring America into judgment."

"There are grounds to say that judgment has already begun," Hagee continued, "because he, the president, has been fighting to divide Jerusalem for years now."

"We are now experiencing the crisis of Ebola," he stated, as well as threats from Islamic radicals and even civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri all as a result of God's judgment on America due to Obama's policies:

Three cases in America, and all of a sudden it's "God's Judgment?"

Go home, Hagee, you're drunk.

support the mythology of Revelations. He needs Israel to succeed so that Jesus will return. Then he and the other chosen will win the jackpot. Guys like that just make me cranky.

In that worldview, first imagined in the late 1800's, most of the world's population dies. Who would wish for that??

I suspect Mr. Haggee is a con man, using fear and salvation to get rich, of the Jim and Tammy Faye variety.

He and his followers get giddy with delight every time there's a crisis of some sort. They can't wait for the end times and the return of their Jesus. Oh and he's really obsessed with the blood moons too.
