Is Bush Pushing The End Times

3:52 pm EST August 4th, 2006 | Media, Republicans | 7 Comments

It’s seriously time for the MSM to ask this president about the end times practicioners he surrounds himself with and apparently goes to for advice.

Joel C. Rosenberg, who writes Christian apocalyptic fiction, told me
in an interview this week that he was invited to a White House Bible
study group last year to talk about current events and biblical
prophecy.

Rosenberg said that on February 10, 2005, he came to
speak to a "couple dozen" White House aides in the Old Executive Office
Building — and has stayed in touch with several of them since.

    I wrote in a previous thread (probably now long gone) that the probability of Bush seriously believing in the hard-core dispensationalist rapture/tribulation/Armageddon view of the “End Times” as promoted by Hal Lindsey and others is likely very small, since Bush is a Methodist and dispensationalism never was part of mainstream Methodist theology.

    But you are right — someone should ask him to define his position and name some theologians whose End Times teachings he agrees with. He should also be asked whether or not he disavows the really kooky preachers like John Hagee, who is looking more and more like a Christian version of the presidenr of Iran.

    the end times practicioners he surrounds himself with and apparently goes to for advice.

    Where exactly does it say he goes to them for advice?

    And what the hell is an “end times practitioner”?

    Would you pretend that Bush hasn’t sought counsel with the likes of Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, or those like Tim LaHaye who preach of the impending end times?

    I’ll ask again: Where exactly does it say he goes to them for advice?

    Go down to “End of Times?”

    If my memory serves me well, Bush was asked this question during a press conference. I think this happened within the past year or so. His response was to play dumb.

    What happens to his base if he denies believing that rapture nonsense?
