Texe W. Marrs is an American authorcite web | title = About Texe Marrs | publisher = Power of Prophecy Ministry Website | url = http://www.texemarrs.com/atm.htm | format = HTML | accessdate =2007-12-12] and conspiracy theorist. He lives in Spicewood, Texas. Prior to 1987 he was a prolific author of nonfiction books on career preparation and other subjects. His book "Dark Secrets of the New Age" was published by Crossway Books in 1987 and became a #1 bestseller in the Christian book market in 1988, on the momentum of growing alarm at the time within evangelical Christianity about the New Age Movement. He followed that up with another book, "Mystery Mark of the New Age", also published by Crossway Books. Subsequent books took on a much more outspoken tone as he started writing books alleging a vast world conspiracy involving Freemasonry, the Illuminati and Zionism. His books since 1989 have been self-published.

John Hagee

On the "Power of Prophecy" radio program show on Feb 23, 2008 titled, "“Jesus Is Not Israel's Messiah”—A Profile of John Hagee", Marrs criticized televangelist John Hagee for his claims that Jesus is not the Jewish messiah with these statements:
