Rapture Fever

194 RAPTURE FEVER
George Bush? After all, on September 11, 1990, he told Congress:
Anew partnership of nations has begun. We stand today at a
unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian
Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move
toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled
times, our fifth objective - a new world order – can emerge: a
new era, freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit
of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in
which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south,
can prosper and live in harmony.
Got that, Constance? Hear that, Dave? A New WorZd Order. A
new era of prosperity You know what to do now! I put it in
your hands. (I’d put it in Jerry Falwell’s hands, but he was the
first fundamentalist leader to promote George Bush’s political
legitimacy, way back in 1984. To reciprocate, Mr. Bush spoke
at the graduation exercises at Liberty University in 1990. It is
not easy to get an incumbent President to speak at a non-Ivy
League college’s graduation. You have to pay more than a
speaker’s fee. Far more.)
Dispensationalists need to hear the sermons on the latest,
greatest prophecy “God’s Antichrist nation is the good old U.S.
of A. I can prove this from the Bible. I have this chart. Turn in
your Revised Scofield Reference Bible to page. . . .“
But if we don’t hear such sermons soon, then popular dispensationalism
is as dead as Marxism-Leninism inside Russia.
That is to say, thud.
