In an interview with End Times broadcaster Jan Markell that was aired this weekend, former Rep. Michele Bachmann said that people should not despair but rejoice that the world has reached the midnight hour and that we in our lifetimes potentially could see Jesus Christ returning to earth and the Rapture of the church.
The former Republican congresswoman from Minnesota said that President Obamas policies, including support for marriage equality and nuclear negotiations with Iran, are to blame for the worlds imminent demise. We need to realize how close this clock is to getting towards the midnight hour, Bachmann said. Barack Obama is intent, it is his number one goal, to ensure that Iran has a nuclear weapon.
Bachmann made similar comments in the first half of her interview with Markell, which aired last week, insisting that Obamas presidency will bring about natural and economic disasters along with the arrival of the Last Days. After Bachmann said that Obama intends to lift up the agenda of radical Islam, Markell added that legal abortion and marriage equality for gays and lesbians are bringing about divine punishment on America.You are right, Bachmann responded, lamenting that God will soon lift His hedge of protection over pagan America and we will suffer the consequences as a result.
Thats why so many Christians I think are sad and despairing because we know what the word of God says, she said. But it is also a chastening as individual believers for our good and that, to me, is extremely exciting.

(40,416 posts)I watched Jack and Rexella regularly, in between Movies hosted by Bill Kennedy. The Kennedy movies were by far the better of the two choices because at least Bill was not entirely sober, plus he knew an awful lot about cinema. But Rexella was high entertainment, if only for her simpering adoration of Jack.
You can take away with this story what you will.

Hell, I'll post it again.
Indeed, Jack is as mad as a hatter. The world going to end Real Soon Now (tm). So he always says.

Seriously though; I'm getting real tired of this nonsense, which is almost always used as an excuse to not do anything about an increasingly fucked-up world. "Oh, don't worry about that global warming (not that there is such a thing anyway)! You should all be worried more about eternal warming . . . in Hell!"

Yet, doesn't the Bible state that nobody knows when the end will come? Kind of flies in the face of these charlatans' self-proclaimed "expertise" when you think about it.

(17,175 posts)the rapture is actually a two-step process (it's a logistical thing).
The brain gets raptured first. The body goes at some later date.
My contact at Rapture Central told me that, in fact, Michele's brain was raptured -- several years ago.
Explains a lot, doesn't it? I hope that clears things up. You're welcome.
