| <nettime> UN as the anti-Christ |
Dr. Tim Lahaye, prophet on prophecy and, at best, co-author of his own books, hovers at the very top of the NYT best seller lists for fiction with the "Left Behind" series about the Rapture. His latest installment (11 so far) of what Americans love to read pits the UN as the body of the anti-Christ. See what more he says below. Someone somewhere has been taking notes... Hallelujah, -af + + + + + REPORTER: Why did you choose the UN to be the body that the anti-Christ essentially uses to take over with?� DR. TIM LAHAYE: Well he's going to establish a one-world government. That's one reason Christians are suspicious of globalism. They see it as maybe a precursor of anti-Christ. And I just used the United Nations because it's an entity today that people can understand. It may not be the United Nations, it may be something else. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised in today's geopolitical situation where the United Nations and the European common market will gradually grow together and join other countries of the world against the United States, the superpower. And gradually they will move their centre of government to Iraq. An interesting thing in the Bible is -� REPORTER: This is from your book? Or this is what you're saying will happen?� DR. TIM LAHAYE: This is what I'm saying will probably happen - that the capital of the anti-Christ kingdom will be in Babylon. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
