QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE END TIMES
Hal Lindsey, intense eschatologist and all-around evangelical nut, is the voice you hear near the end of track four on Moving in Stereo, taking questions and providing answers about the United States' role during END TIMES. (Fun fact: that's why the track is named "Our Pal Hal.")
In between spewing all kinds of fascinating apocalyptic weirdness for the last forty years, Hal still takes time now and then to prophesize and pontificate on politics - including presidential politics. All with a righteous end-of-days slant, mind you. Here's his latest on Obama:
America has never faced so many different crises at the same time in living memory. The war with al-Qaida and Islamic terror, the Iran crisis, Afghanistan, nuclear proliferation, the rising price of oil, the falling dollar, enemy acronyms like OPEC, NAM, OIC, U.N. ... Obama is correct in saying that the world is ready for someone like him - a messiah-like figure, charismatic and glib and seemingly holding all the answers to all the world's questions.
And the Bible says that such a leader will soon make his appearance on the scene. It won't be Barack Obama, but Obama's world tour provided a foretaste of the reception he can expect to receive.
He will probably also stand in some European capital, addressing the people of the world and telling them that he is the one that they have been waiting for. And he can expect as wildly enthusiastic a greeting as Obama got in Berlin.
The Bible calls that leader the Antichrist. And it seems apparent that the world is now ready to make his acquaintance.
