OK, so yet another religious right pastor rails against the “homosexual agenda,” claiming that gays “will not stop until their will is pressed upon the majority.”
Blah blah blah, yadda yadda, same stuff, different day.
But the pastor in question here is Matthew Hagee, “son and heir apparent of televangelist John Hagee.”
That’s “Bible prophecy expert” John Hagee. Hagee is a premillennial dispensationalist preacher who has, for decades, been telling us that the Rapture was about to occur — “perhaps before I finish this sentence” — and that we are surely in the very last of the very last Last Days.
The accelerating momentum of John Hagee’s book titles reveals his increasingly urgent sense that the End just can’t get any nigher. In 1996, Hagee published Beginning of the End. In 2000, he published From Daniel to Doomsday: The Countdown Has Begun. In 2009, Hagee published God’s Two-Minute Warning. And this year he published Earth’s Final Moments.
So if the end began 15 years ago, the countdown has begun, we’re two years past the two-minute warning and are now living in “Earth’s Final Moments,” then why does John Hagee need an “heir apparent”?
And what is that heir doing preaching a sermon titled “The Coming Generational Storm“? Unless his father has been misleading us all these years, there won’t be any coming generation to experience the perfect storm of gayness that Matthew Hagee warns us is coming.
As Some Grey Bloke says, “It’s very … disappointing. I can only hope that the 2012 apocalypse isn’t such a let-down.”
