C. UNGER: I traveled undercover with Tim LeHay, who is the prophet of the "Left Behind" series. [...] I traveled with him to the battlefield of Armageddon, where they believe the final conflict would take place. [...]
Megiddo is -- from Megiddo, we get the term Armageddon, where the final conflict will take place. [...]
And I was walking up the hill with LeHay and about ninety of his followers, and as you look over this spectacularly beautiful pastoral valley [...]. They see that it will be filled with blood, the blood of as many as two billion people. And I talked with them about that, and they say there will be a river of blood, 200 miles long, about four-and-a-half feet deep. And I asked one of them when all this would take place.

I really don't understand this gibbering urge urge toward the end of all things. These people have the perverted idea that it's their job to hasten it along.

(Revelation 18)

"He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants." (Revelation 19)

Hurrying things along, in this unfortunate modern view, means the return of Christ. Thus perhaps Pat Robertson's endorsement of Guilani. Eagerness for military buildup = ready for war = return of Christ.

But historic Christianity does not agree; this is a twentieth-century fad, rooted in the assumption that the establishment of Israel as a nation must signal the beginning of the end.

These "end-timers" differ from Heaven's Gate (except in numbers) how? One thing I do know - If everybody who believed in the Rapture would disappear, there'd be more room for the rest of us. If Pat Robertson wants to meet Christ, that's fine,as long as he doesn't try to drag me along with him.
