I came home a few minutes ago and turned on CNN to catch a news update and thought I had accidently turned on the 700 Club. There was Kyra Philips interviewing apocalyptic fiction writers Jerry Jenkins (Left Behind Series) and Joel Rosenberg (The Copper Scroll) and as scripture passages were popping up on screen they were explaining how biblical prophecies are being fulfilled and the end times are near. Joel Rosenberg is saying that he has been invited to the White House and the CIA and to testify before Congress about what it all means. He reminds us that biblical prophesies are "interrupts from the mind of mind of God." Kyra asks them if she should be getting her affairs in order and they say yes indeed.
This unbelievable piece of "journalism" is then followed by a weather report on the hot, dry conditions around the country and a story about the mayor of Lubbock, Texas who has called for a day of fasting and prayer to ask God to bring an end to the draught.
Yikes.
