"Prophetically, we are on the verge of the Gog-Magog war that Ezekiel described in chapters 38 and 39," Hagee said in the video recorded on Sunday and posted the next day, after over 200 Iranian missiles were fired on Israel, 99 percent of which were intercepted and destroyed by regional missile defense systems. He believes there is no need for de-escalation. Instead, Christians United For Israel (CUFI), the Christian Zionist organization that Hagee founded in 2006, held an "emergency fly-in" Monday to visit lawmakers in Washington, D.C., including House Speaker Mike Johnson, to "tell them to stop shuffling papers and do something to help Israel." Meanwhile, CUFI is funded by millions of dollars by non-Christian Zionists Robert Shillman, the late Sheldon Adelson (now his wife Miriam) and Bernard Marcus. (Related: The untold story of Christian Zionism’s rise to power in the United States.) According to a 2023 report from the Public Accountability Initiative LittleSis titled, "The Wealthy Donors Behind Christians United for Israel," Shillman of Cognex Corporation and Shillman Foundation, which has contributed $1.4 million to CUFI from 2021 to 2021, built his wealth as CEO of Cognex, a manufacturer of machine vision and barcode scanning software and sensors used in manufacturing automation. His foundation funds several rightwing and pro-Israel groups in the U.S., including the Zionist Organization of America. On the other hand, Las Vegas Sands and Adelson Family Foundation's Miriam Adelson contributed $1.1 million to CUFI in 2020. The late billionaire Sheldon Adelson built an empire operating large casino resorts across the world through the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. His wife, Miriam is estimated to be worth $32 billion. He was a staunch supporter of Israel and his foundation has spent hundreds of millions pushing anti-Muslim propaganda. Finally, Marcus of Home Depot and Marcus Foundation has contributed $60,000 to CUFI in both 2020 and 2021. Marcus is the co-founder of Home Depot who served as the company's first CEO and chairman until his retirement in 2002. Over the last 30 years, Marcus and his wife have donated more than $2 billion through the Marcus Foundation. Critics say that Hagee doesn't need any of the suckers in his audience to donate a dime as his megadonors got him fully covered.Pastor John Hagee this am says Iran's missiles are the prophetic start of the "Gog and Magog" war from the Bible (that ends w/ Jesus returning and Jews killed or converted). Says he will travel to DC to lobby lawmakers not to "deescalate" and support Israel. Asks for money. pic.twitter.com/k47wU9fAk0
