Well this topic is a personal obsession for me. Hagee is a nut who believes in “dual covenant theory”. It’s a lie from the pit of hell. Every honest person looking for answers will find it - Matthew 7:7 & Jeremiah 29:13. Jews who seek will find it as well.
All Christianity is, is the extension of Judaism. Sure Jews will say absolutely not, but if you look at the blood trail that history & the Bible shows, the enemy of both Christianity and Israel is the devil and he wants both annihilated completely.
Every Empire that has ever existed with Jews within their sphere of influence has wanted them eradicated & destroyed. Same with early Christianity until the fire of faith took over the evil hearts of men, though that pattern has reversed as of late.
Every single early Christian in the early Church was a Jew.
Salvation is first to the Jew, then the Gentile (Romans 1:16)
True Christians love Jews and want them saved.
Genesis 12:3
Deuteronomy 7:6–8
John 4:22 (Salvation is from the Jews)
Isaiah 27:6
Numbers 24:9
Interesting little stat that most people don’t know is that the greatest percentage of Evangelical converts over the past 30 years or so doesn’t come from the Roman Catholic Church or Islam, but from Jews who are now Messianic Jews.
God is faithful to His remnant (and there has always been a remnant of Jewish believers in Christ since the first century).
I’m southern baptist
Saved in 1967
Jews simply didn’t come up like now back then....we studied Hebrew history and the division of the tribes and the diaspora and so forth but Jesus ethnicity was hardly a focal point us viewing Jesus as being supernatural and not of this world and here for all of us
Jews brought the old covenant and then rejected the new and we felt bad for them cause it looked thst had sure brought them the tribulations they had been warned about from before Moses even..
Not directed at you but I see a whole lot of envy of Jews from modern day Christians especially here with certain more Jewish than Jews sects I’d never heard of till Free Republic....and they live to call folks anti Semite of bigot and generally are anti southern.....
I was raised we didn’t blame them but we didn’t want to be them and we were not envious of them as chosen
I wished them the best but frankly I feared they had passed on what I thought was a good deal ..but I hoped things worked out for them at some point....it wasn’t my providence
I’ve had a lifetime of Jewish interaction and business partners and lovers..two....one a famous liberal Jewish lawyer ...I was like a forbidden goy john Wayne..lol....she was sweet but so misled
I like Jews intellect and moxie but I’m under no illusion that the majority in the USA don’t much cotton to people like me and are very big in working against my worldview
It’s almost providential....well I mean it is actually
Which makes me view this modern fixation ....at least to me ....obsession with Christianity as an extension of Judaism with suspicion
Jews sure don’t see themselves like some good luck charm to the end times....it’s like when all the Hells Angels are eyeballing the virgin at the bonfire
Jews have felt the brunt of Christian obsession before .....I’m no fan of liberal Jews but they have a point there
You do want you like....that’s freedom of religion
My hope is more Jews one day see he light..the light I see
Beyond that it’s just not something I feel compelled about
I do know we have folks here who will be offended
I don’t care
I support Israel cause I like Israelis....great women which always helps.....they are decent people in a sea of varying degrees of madness
Plus I’m Ulster Scot descended.....we’ve always been pro Israel
It’s not religious for me.....except Christ’s history there makes it special
Like I said this is all foreign to me
I sat through Sunday mornings and Sunday nights ans Wednesday nights and bible school and camp from 1963-1975 and never ever heard our preacher opine on Jews the way some evangelicals do today....ever
They were off our radar except when the klan bombed the local Beth Israel and we let them use our sanctuary Friday nights till it was rebuilt
Freedom Rider days and lots of yankee Jews were freedom riders and our local southern Jews got guilt by association even though most southern Jews wanted distance from the freedom riders who tended to be far left

Of course now they are all heroes to the media
“Every single early Christian in the early Church was a Jew.”
Sure, as long as you aren’t counting Luke. The Colossian letter differentiates Luke from followers who are of the circumcision, indicating that Luke’s culture was gentile. And Luke’s usage of pronouns in Acts suggests that he was a native of Troas, a region of Greek cities on the west coast of what today is Turkey.
