This morning, while researching this article, I listened to the dedication ceremony of the new, misbegotten US Embassy in Jerusalem.  Playing a key role in that ceremony were two evil Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christian Dominionist hypocrites.  They could not be more opposed to authentic Christianity.  They claim to be supporting the peace of Jerusalem, but they pray and prey for bloody war.<\/font>\"0514HageeJeffress\"<\/p>\n

Monday’s ceremony marking the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem will break with tradition in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

Besides the political concerns over the move itself, a pair of Christian evangelical leaders will be on hand whose words have caused their own share of controversy.<\/p>\n

Pastor John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel, will deliver the benediction at the ceremony, a spokesman for his organization confirmed to CNN. A major proponent of the embassy move, Hagee said in a recent interview with conservative news site Breitbart [Breitfart delinked] that he told President Donald Trump he would win "political immortality" for moving the embassy from Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

"I told him that the moment that you do that, I believe that you will step into political immortality," the news site quoted Hagee as saying. "Because you are having the courage to do what other presidents did not have the courage to do."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another controversial evangelical pastor, Robert Jeffress, will say a prayer at the embassy opening, a US official confirmed to CNN. Jeffress, a Southern Baptist, vigorously supported Trump during the final months of the 2016 presidential campaign and was a member of his evangelical advisory board. He even preached at a private service<\/a> for the President-elect and his family on Inauguration Day in 2017, shortly before Trump took the oath of office…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CNN seems most concerned with the Church\/State issues involved here, but that does not begin to cover the reasons why these two are so inappropriate.<\/font><\/p>\n

Part of their Dominionist eschatology is that Jews must control Jerusalem, so they can rebuild the Jewish Temple.  Once that happens, the "tribulation" starts.  Republican Supply-side Jesus, the exact opposite of the real Jesus, poofs pseudo-Christians into heaven.  During the tribulation, 2\/3 of the Jews are slaughtered and go to hell.  The remaining third are spared, because they convert to pseudo-Christianity.  Then everyone else gets tossed into the lake of fire and suffers in flames for eternity.  This is what Hagee and Jeffress want for Jews.  Here’s Hagee<\/a> telling part of it.<\/font><\/p>\n
