Endtime Ministries with Irvin Baxter.
It is a wack job nut like this guy that worries me. I fell asleep with the tv on and woke up to his diatribe about the “evil pope”. He said that Pope John Paul and Gorbachov made a pack about the third world order?
Can someone explain any of this for me.
I think you meant New World Order.
Ok, since Israel came into being in 1948, some protestants have basically lost their marbles. They see this creation of the State of Israel fulfilling many of the prophecy found in Daniel etc.
Are they in error, sure…they are pre-trib rapture pre mill types. Because they do not have the complete Bible of scriptures they do not understand the prophecy contained in Daniel and they also seem to forget that during the Olivet Discourse as found in Matthew, Jesus specifically warned his followers not to listen to those who would try to predict when he would return. For not even he, Jesus, knew only the Father in Heaven.
So when you have personal interpretation of scripture and no one to answer to and you can make a good and compelling presentation you get guys like this. I do believe he truly believes what he is saying, just as all the false prophets in the past. He is in error, just as the Arians, so we need to pray for him.
And yes, this is how he makes his living.
I use to be a fundie, pre trib, pre rapture pre mil protestant. Since 1948, Jesus was to return in 1968 (then a generation was 20 years) then 1988 (40 years like in the wilderness with Moses) now, since Jesus did not return in 2000, the new date is 2028 (80 years). Harold Camping miscalulated 21 May 2011. Though some are looking at May 2012 when the Mayan calender is to reset.
Now understand, not all protestants hold to this position. Within protestantism there are many different beliefs on the endtimes. Everyone trying to predict…thinking God will tell them while he has left Jesus the Son in the dark.
Know your faith and catechism, that is the best defense against the endtime types.
