(With Glenn Beck, 2008)
Pastor John Hagee is warning members of his megachurch to prepare for the end of the world because a blood moon eclipse on Tuesday is signaling that the End Times could be beginning.
On Tuesday, most of the United States will be treated to the first of four complete lunar eclipses which scientists call a tetrad occurring in six month intervals. The eclipses are often referred to as blood moons because as sunlight shines on the moon through the Earths atmosphere, it gives the moon a red color.
Hagee, pastor of Texas Cornerstone Church, has written a book on the phenomenon titled Blood Moons: Something is About to Change. And he is airing a live television event on Tuesday to reveal direct connections between four upcoming blood-moon eclipses and what they portend for Israel and all of humankind.
Is this the end of the age? Hagee asked during a recent sermon, before quoting Acts 2:19-20: And I will show wonders in Heaven above and signs in the Earth beneath, the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

This shit should be treated as a mental illness. Lock him up (for his and our own good) and medicate this fool.
If he's not a fool, than he's a con man and should be locked somewhere else.

(2,207 posts)Funneling money to Israel in support of their supposed christian apocalyptic vision of ushering in the rapture by going against current peace efforts ( two state solution and donating more money than AIPAC). Hagee is the chief nutbag behind all this. Looks like he's beating the drums of holy war ...IMHO...

(49,445 posts)[div class=excerpt style=background:#AFEEEE]COMMON ASTRONOMICAL EVENT, PREDICTED YEARS AGO BY WELL-ESTABLISHED AND TRANSPARENT MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS, IS SUDDENLY SEEN AS A RELIGIOUS SIGN BY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.
By Captain Obvious
Anytown, Anystate (AP) - Despite a multi-thousand year track record of 0.000% success, attention-craving egomaniacal religious leaders have declared that a common and harmless astronomical event predicted mathematically decades vaguely corresponds to events in a religous text of uncertain origin and translated through multiple languages into English.
It is expected that, when their predictions are, as, usual, completely wrong, these shameless people will retain their positions of power and respect, and their gullible followers will fail completely to even consider holding them accountable in any fashion whatsoever while dropping money they can't afford into the collection basket.

Elmer Gantry, eat yer heart out.
