He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. John 1:41
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.John 4:25-26
Christ is therefore the Greek translation used in the New Testament for the Old Testament 'messiah'.
Herein lies the danger for John Hagee and anyone who embraces his lies:
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
Here are some excerpts from Hagee's book, In Defense of Israel, that show his heresy:
" . . . God gave Moses four signs to convince the children of Israel that he was their messiah . . . He knew he was anointed of God to overthrow Egypt and lead the Jewish people to the promised land." p. 136.
"The next two signs God gave Moses were to convince the children of Israel that Moses was their Messiah." p. 136
"When impetuous Peter could stand it no longer, he blurted out, 'You are the Christ.' Or in other words, 'You are the anointed one! You are the Messiah who will lead the Jews in their revolt against Rome.'" p. 140
"Even after his resurrection and repeated denials that he would not be the Messiah, his disciples were still hanging on to the last thread of hope that he would now smash realm (Acts 1:6)," p. 141
Acts 1:6 actually says, When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
"He refused to be their Messiah, choosing instead to be the Savior of the world," p. 143.
Did Jesus claim to be the Messiah?
