The Work of Man and the Work of God

The assumption by Reverend John Hagee that "God sent Hitler to help the Jews reach the promised land" is controversial. Not because it is vexing people on both sides and creating needless factions under presidential candidate John McCain, but because it is a declaration that the work of man is the work of God. That God has willed or allowed the holocaust to happen does not, by any means, give man the omniscience to declare holocaust a means for reaching the promised land for the Jews. Because the first allowed the second to happen, does not mean that the second would not happen in 1948 without the occurrence of the first. Giving Hitler a supernatural purpose is Old Testament rhetoric. Since Jesus brought the new covenant to man, we are also given a new image of God in the form of Christianity. Saying that God willed the holocaust to occur for the betterment of the Jewish people raises many questions relating to the Christianity. If the only way to eternal life is through Jesus, and the holocaust killed millions of Jews that did not believe in Jesus. So in the Christian view those millions of Jews will not enter the kingdom of heaven. So if the holocaust was God unifying the Jewish people than, it came at such great a cost, with its purpose for unification (if we are to believe that eternal life is only through Jesus) not met. Millions of Jews were murdered and the Jews still do not believe that Jesus is the only way. Did God really use Hitler to unify the Jews to form the nation of Israel?
