Is Huckabee the Antichrist? | Huffpost Is Huckabee the Antichrist? | HuffPost US EDITION THE BLOG Is Huckabee the Antichrist? By Marty Kaplan 12/16/2007 11:31 am ET | Updated May 25, 2011 [Below is the text of a flyer that was found on windshields in several church parking lots in Ottumwa, Iowa on Sunday. The Romney, Giuliani, McCain, Tancredo, Hunter, and Paul campaigns have all denied authorship or distribution of it. The Keyes campaign could not be located for a comment. The Thompson campaign could not be awakened for a comment.] IS MIKE HUCKABEE THE ANTICHRIST? 1. Think about it. Have you ever seen the two of them in the same place? 2. Revelation 13 says that the Antichrist’s kingdom will be both a political and an ecclesiastical power. Huckabee, a Baptist minister, is running for president. 3. That’s right: President. Haven’t you seen The Omen, people? (Is it just a coincidence that “Mike Huckabee” is an almost perfect anagram for “I am Damien”?) 4. No normal American man over the age of 40 loses 110 pounds. It’s not natural. 5. Read this: “And that is why part of me, I confess, wants Huckabee to win. So he can lose. So the GOP can lose - as spectacularly and humiliatingly as possible. If we are to rid conservatism of this theocratic cancer, we need to start over. Maybe it has to get worse before it can get better.” Who said it? Andrew Sullivan. Have you ever heard of the psy-ops mind trick called “negative psychology”? If Sullivan — a gay Catholic — says he wants Huckabee to get the Republican nomination so he can lose, you can bet your beanie that what the secret cabal of Romish sodomites really wants is for Huckabee to win. 6. Why do fundamentalist evangelicals support Israel? So that (Ezekiel 38-39) the forces of Gog and Magog can do battle in the valley of Megiddo in the 70th week of the End Times. No land of Israel, no Armageddon; no Armageddon, no Second Coming of Christ. Okay, so now tell me this: why has Tim LaHaye endorsed Mike Huckabee? Same reason. No Antichrist, no Left Behind. (By the way, is it just an “accident” that this point is number 6 on this list, and that there are 6 sentences in this point, and that the number of the beast is 666?) 7. Bill Clinton is from Hope. Mike Huckabee is from Hope. Do you really need someone to connect the dots? 8. Huckabee’s sudden rise in the polls has been nothing short of miraculous. But II Thessalonians 2 points out how there will be a striking outward similarity between Antichrist and Christ. Did Christ support His claim to be God with signs and wonders? Check. So Antichrist, too, will perform signs and wonders. (Zogby 12:16). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marty-kaplan/is-huckabee-the-antichris_b_76988.html 1/2 Is Huckabee the Antichrist? | HuffPost 9. The secular progressive liberal “New York” media love Huckabee. They have said repeatedly that he is “charming,” that he is likable, authentic, comfortable in his own skin. But the devil who used a serpent to deceive the woman in the garden was also charming (Genesis 3). The devil is comfortable in his own skin, too. Sure, Huckabee’s rhetoric is beguiling; none dare call it parseltongue. 10. 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 Paid for by Anyone But Huckabee, an independent 527 group with no affiliation to any other Republican candidate.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 25, 2006 The AEI Press Charles Murray offers a plan that would eliminate all income transfer programs at the federal, state, and local levels—including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, and corporate subsidies—and would substitute an annual cash grant of $10,000 for life, beginning at age twenty-one. Murray argues that “the Plan” would end poverty, allow all Americans access to health care, and empower people to control their own lives. Murray’s book describes the financial feasibility of his ideas and their effect on retirement, health care, poverty, marriage and family, work, neighborhoods, and the larger civil society. In his seminal 1984 book Losing Ground, Murray sparked national debate by arguing that the social programs of the Great Society not only failed to help the poor and disadvan- taged, but also made things worse. Now, Murray has written a book that is, in his own words, “not a book about poverty. It’s about building a society in which people can run their own lives.” Once again, Charles Murray is ahead of his time: • Today, about 36 million people are below the poverty line.

LaHayes back Huckabee for president December 12, 2007 ¦ Mitzi Bible Liberty University Board of Trustees members Tim and Beverly LaHaye formally endorsed Republican Mike Huckabee for president at Huckabee’s Des Moines, Iowa, campaign headquarters on Dec. 4. The endorsement followed a pastor’s policy briefing conference attended by the LaHayes and 60 other religious leaders from Iowa. Mat Staver, Dean of the School of Law at LU, spoke at the event and was there to witness the endorsement. “It was a major event in Iowa to have Tim and Beverly there to endorse Mike Huckabee along with 60 other pastors and religious leaders,” he said. “I think it reflects the rise in polls in what we’re seeing across the country with conservative Christians endorsing Huckabee.” Tim LaHaye, author of the apocalyptic “Left Behind” novels, said during the 25 years he has known Mike Huckabee, “he has proven himself to be a Christian conservative who stands without apology for the pro-life, pro-marriage platform that is so important in this time of moral collapse,” according to a news release from the Huckabee campaign.

  • Rev. Falwell, Rev. Sun Myung Moon And
    Rev. Falwell, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and The Love of Money In this teaching we will be looking at the ‘fruit' of some of the most prominent ‘Christian' figures in America. This list will include: The late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Timothy La Haye 'Left Behind', Gary Bauer, Bill Bright, Paul Crouch, Dr. James Dobson, Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Beverly La Haye, Ralph Reed, Pat Robertson, Rev. James Robison, Phyllis Schlafly, George Bush Sr. and Jr., Dr. Robert Schuller I and II Jerry Falwell. Jesus said by their fruits “ye shall know them”, which is in reference to the fruit of a true Christian as opposed to a pseudo Christian tare. We will be looking at the undeniable documented financial links of the people listed above cult leader Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church of Korea. Unbelievably Rev. Moon was actually crowned Messiah and Savior of Earth on March 23, 2004 at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington D.C, where scores of Christian leaders as well as several U.S. Senators and Representatives met for this very blasphemous occasion. Southern Baptist leaders were on hand, as were Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) President Paul Crouch, Reverend Jerry Falwell, Rev. Robert Schuller, Kenneth Copeland, Pat Boone and many others. Moon claims Jesus failed on his mission to earth but Moon has not. This is one of the largest smoking guns and flagrant moves ever made and condoned by main stream Christian figures and politicians. This information is based on highly referenced, factual evidence.

This pattern goes back to the Watergate Scandal. Stephanie Slocum-Schaffer states that Watergate had a significant impact on the 1970’s and the rest of the century. She argues that Watergate caused the public to see government service as ignoble but that it also proved that the American system of checks and balances could effectively contain corruption. 1 Ted Sorensen, a former Kennedy speechwriter and advisor, stated that Watergate significantly effected every subsequent presidential administration. He stated that: Removing the perpetrators of Watergate, even without altering the environment in which they operate, should teach some future White House occupants the necessity of not trying something similar. But it may only teach others the necessity of not being caught. History has never proven to be a strong deterrent.2 These accounts make it clear that Watergate completely reshaped the political system in the United States and fundamentally changed the way the Americans thought about the government.

  • The Fool on the Hill
    The Fool on the Hill Craig Unger December 13, 2007 Huffington Post Now that Mike Huckabee has joined the top tier of Republican candidates, it's worth taking a closer look at one of his chief evangelical supporters, Tim LaHaye, the bestselling Rapturite co- author of the Left Behind series (63 million copies sold!). As it happens, in researching my new book The Fall of the House of Bush (for more information, go to http://www.craigunger.com, I traveled undercover with LaHaye and about 90 American evangelical Christians to the Holy Land for the "Walking Where Jesus Walked" tour in 2005. The most astonishing moment of my journey took place when we reached Megiddo, Israel. Alexander the Great, Saladin, Napoleon, and other renowned warriors all fought great battles there. But according to the book of Revelation, the hill of Megiddo--better known as Armageddon--will be the site of the cataclysmic battle between the forces of Christ and the Antichrist. After LaHaye and his colleagues explained the prophecies of the book of Revelation, we walked down the hill overlooking the Jezreel Valley. "Can you imagine this entire valley filled with blood?" one of his followers asked. "That would be a 200-mile-long river of blood, four and a half feet deep. We've done the math. That's the blood of as many as two and a half billion people." As for when the Final Conflict will take place, LaHaye's followers assured me that the Bible says that "of that day and hour knoweth no man." One of them had especially strong ideas about when the battle would take place, however.

Bevins, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1983 A sample of literature produced by participants in the "creationist movement" is examined in an effort to delineate the ideology of the movement. This ideology is seen as a repertoire of images of science, evolution and society which is used by creationists in their efforts to propagate their movement. Based on this literature, an "ideological substructure of belief" within the creationist movement is described, consisting of their belief in a created normative order in the world and of their fear that this order is breaking down.

Gutjahr Much ink has been spilled on the topic of the uneasy relationship between American Christians and the novel. The vast majority of this scholarship has centered on American Protestantism’s antagonism toward the novel in the early nineteenth century. With few exceptions, the dominant narrative of this relationship goes something like this: American Protestants viewed Wction writing in general, and the novel in particular, as a serious threat to the virtue and well-being of every American up until the 1850s, when their opposition began to gradually erode until it was washed away com- pletely by the astounding popularity of Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, Wrst published in 1880.1 As with so many grand narratives, this one is Xawed. American Protes- tantism has never been a monolithic entity. It has varied according to region- alism, denominationalism, and its connections to other American cultural practices such as science, education, and politics.

Van Dyke August 2016 © 2016 Ian E. Van Dyke. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel by IAN E. VAN DYKE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT VAN DYKE, IAN E., M.A., August 2016, History Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel Director of Thesis: Kevin Mattson This thesis examines the ways evangelical Protestant views of Israel shaped perceptions of the Middle East among the wider American conservative movement during the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the centuries-old ideas underlying their idiosyncratic worldview. Motivated by God’s promise to Abraham to “bless those” who showed favor to his progeny and fascinated by Israel’s role in End Times prophecy, politically conservative evangelical Christians worked tirelessly to promote the cause of the Jewish State to their American audience. As they gained influence within the American conservative movement, the rhetoric of New Christian Right activists like Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, and Pat Robertson helped redefine Israel in the conservative imagination. In crafting an apocalyptic worldview that translated Israel’s spiritual significance into secular politics, the New Christian Right transformed American conservatism in ways still visible today.
