practicing "evangelism" not evangelicalism. The former is about spreading the gospel of Christ, not manipulating political events to destroy the world.

I think as these older Christians get closer to inevitable death, they hope for the biblical apocalypse. Somehow, it's all going to be easier for them. They've been saying it for two thousand years.

I knew a couple who talked about the rapture with stars in their eyes. They were so excited to talk about the rapture coming. These are educated people. For them to believe in such fantasies is frightening frankly..

At this point it would be more like a purge of all the bad if it took all the people that believed.

June 18, 1998. Only a small sect ascended, 47 people total. The rest of us are all the Left Behind.

I mean, it certainly explains why we're in The Worst Timeline.

I also love telling the white supremacists that they 'don't look that white to me'.

They are supposed to be doing a whole lot of things of which they are doing the opposite. Evangelism is just one of those things.

two religious groups trying each in their own way to invoke the Rapture. Yesterday's news was the NAR... the charismatic fringe groups aka Dominionists. They're trying to do it domestically.

The othet group is Huckabees... the fringe evangelicals. They're trying both to provoke war in the ME and "need" to covert 'x' number of Jesw to Christianity to get their rapture started.

Unfortunately, these fringe religionists will end up killing us all just to get their jollies off. Politics and religion... bad bedfellows!

And even some of the more hardline mainstreamers, too... like an Opus Dei house and the Lutheran Synod, tho I have no connection or direct knowledge of them and their practices in this area.

Unfortunately, I believe we are seeing the fringe elements seeded all across the country... purposely.

it's the RWRE goal
they think that if they ruin everything jesus will
come back and the magical sky daddy will make everything great
here is the reality

Couldn't help but notice the comics in the background. What I have been telling folks for years is that the bible was the ancient's comic books.

Funny thing is "the rapture" wasn't part of Christian theology till John Nelson Darby invented it in the 19th century.

I thought it’s the “rupture.”

Don't let the lies blind you

So he wants the U.S. cut off from anything overseas, by any means necessary.

for the wrong reasons

"Huckabee, President Trump's envoy to Israel, met at the United States Embassy in Jerusalem in July with Jonathan J. Pollard, an American who spent 30 years in prison for spying for Israel, Mr. Pollard said. The highly unusual meeting caught some U.S. officials by surprise, and appeared to be a sharp break with years of precedent for American diplomats."

Was Trump one of the U.S. officials "caught by surprise," or did he order the "highly unusual" meeting? And how does Netenyahu figure into all of this?

The article at link is excellent.

Watch for Trump to pardon Pollard.

That Jonathan Pollard is a piece of human dogshit who is lucky to be out of federal prison is something that almost all Americans can agree on, right or left. There's a few stragglers on this point, as there are on all points, but it's a fairly universal sentiment.

Fundigelicals cannot be trusted with anything, ever. They'll molest your children and sell out their country, all before breakfast.

If Mike is sharing secrets he better get paid for them so he can pay trump.

I’ve hated Pollard for decades!!! Israel for years denied he spied on the U.S. One of the deniers - Netanyahu!

Israel, during the Reagan years, tried to get him a pardon and got a huge pushback from Intel community. Didn’t try at all under Bush I , as he was a former director of the CIA. And Bush knew what pollard had done.

When he was released from prison, he was tossed out of the U.S.
A private jet flew him to Israel.
Who greeted him on arrival? Netanyahu! Who hugged him.

Israel was behind this, going back to the early 70’s. He is just one of the many reasons I no longer give a shit about Israel.

The Pollard scandal happened just before I got to NSA. I don't care if he's Jewish or not - he took an oath to protect U.S. intelligence sources and methods. He is an Oathbreaker.

The "strange bedfellows".

Huckleberry is an AMBASSADOR, NOT the Secretary of State (who is already a zombie loon). But if he is doing the bidding of the SOS, then that is concerning and if it is a "personal thing" (which some reports suggest), it's even more concerning -

reasons. The meeting did not send any message about any policy, foreign or domestic.

So, again, why the angst?

"question everything"

But -

Is Huckabee a foreign agent?

What always bothered me, and I mentioned it to my letters to Clinton, asking for release, was that Pollard, Ames (a CIA counter intelligence officer) and Hansen (An FBI agent) all sentenced to life for spying. But while Aldrich and Ames spied for the Soviet Union, providing names of US agents some were executed, Pollard spied for an ally. More or less.

From Wikipedia

Dennis B. Ross said in 2004: "Pollard received a harsher sentence than others who committed comparable crimes". Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger stated that "[t]he Pollard matter was comparatively minor. It was made far bigger than its actual importance." Stephen Fain Williams, a Senior Circuit Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stated: "Jonathan Pollard's life sentence represents a fundamental miscarriage of justice". In December 2010, former U.S. assistant Secretary of Defense Lawrence Korb said: "In retrospect, we know that an injustice was done to Pollard ... the man is very sick and should be released before it is too late."[118] Some of the accusations against Pollard can be traced to CIA mole Aldrich Ames,[126] who allegedly blamed Pollard to clear himself of suspicion.[127] Rafi Eitan, Pollard's Israeli handler, stated that Pollard never exposed American agents in the USSR or elsewhere. Eitan said he believed Ames tried to blame Pollard to clear himself of suspicion.

They want to make it happen in their lifetime. They believe the existence of Israel is required for the second coming and that God gave the land to the Jewish people. That's why American Evangelicals gave red heifers as a gift to Israel. Always trying to finagle fulfillment of prophecy.

How embarrassing it is that this clown is an ambassador.
