Pastor John Hagee---in a sermon given sometime between September 24, 2005 and Janaury 1, 2006 and which John Hagee Ministries packaged as part of a three-sermon set still sold by JHM (available online at the John Hagee Ministries website under the title "Jerusalem: Countdown To Crisis" )---claims that God sent Hitler, to force Europe's Jews back to the land of Israel. In the same sermon Hagee also claims Jews are not "spiritually alive."
