Armageddon On Schedule

In his latest book, Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World, John Hagee interprets the Bible to predict that Russian and Arab armies will invade Israel and be destroyed by God. This will set up a confrontation over Israel between China and the West, led by the anti-Christ, who will be the head of the European Union, Pastor Hagee writes. That final battle between East and West - at Armageddon, an actual place in Israel - will precipitate the second coming of Christ, he concludes.

Is the latest violence in the mid-East set to become a self-fulfilling prophecy? Yet another reason why the exceptionally devout and literalists ought to be kept as far away as possible from things like educational curricula and foreign policy. On the up side, at least Hagee isn't crying out in the wilderness.
