Whose politik do we serve? Hagee the hawk, part II

So you thought that was scary, keep watching… 
Here’s a link that’ll provide many hours of enjoyment for several of you: Christians United For Israel is the organization John Hagee began to get this particular message out to the world. Of particular note is ‘Brog’s Blog,’ down on the left-hand side, which expresses a regular response to [...]

I won her over singing WWIII . . . no seriously: This guy’s looking for a fight! Hagee the hawk, part I

The vigilant among you may recognize that reference in the title, but I’m afraid today’s topic is not related to such heart-warming things.
My recent obsession (I believe my friends would call it a ‘man-crush’) is Bill Moyers and his Friday night show, Bill Moyers Journal. He’s had three recent shows that have knocked me off [...]

Where Do I Go When I Die?: Ms. Soma Discovers “The Simpsons,” part III

My friends, this is where I begin to get suspicious. I’m experiencing a nagging feeling which tells me that The Simpsons is perhaps yanking my chain. See for yourselves. 
Here Marge is consulting with her spiritual advisors about Homer’s and Bart’s conversion to Catholicism. The suggestion in her daydream is that Jesus “goes native” and sides with [...]

A Rapture, A Divine Encounter, A Rebellion, A Rapturous Return: Ms. Soma Discovers “The Simpsons,” part II

Let’s be honest: predicting the date of the Rapture is tough stuff. It takes hermeneutical fortitude, not to mention a certain level of comfort with the moral ambiguity required by one’s refusal to believe that “you shall not know the time of my Father’s return” does not really apply to Biblical future-date-charting. But if we’re going to [...]

Will You Be Left Below? Ms. Soma Discovers “The Simpsons,” part I

Hello again everybody. This is your favorite Eschatological Investigator, Ms. Margaret Soma.
Many of you are familiar with the excellent fiction series Left Behind. Its blend of Tim LaHaye’s dispensationalist biblical interpretation and Jerry Jenkins’ paper-doll-thin characters are enough to force any unbeliever that the fix is, indeed, in. And when it comes, there’s gonna be a lot of [...]

And with that perspective in mind, let’s examine a new site I’ve found called www.prayon777.com. Pray on 777 is the brainchild of an unnamed couple [...]

It’s all fun and games until the Dark Lord overthrows the universe and destroys everything good and Christian in this world! Ms. Soma’s search for the Antichrist, part I

Greeting everyone. This is Ms. Soma, your eschatological investigator.
For hundreds of years, good Christians and eschatological detectives have been attempting to divine the human form of the prophesied Antichrist. Luther claimed He was the Pope; some thought He was Hitler; televangelists have fingered nearly every up-and-coming politician in the last fifty years. Here, I only [...]

If You’re Gonna Ride This Train, You’re Gonna Need… Ms. Soma’s Introduction to Eschatological Mathematics!

Hello again, I just had to say one more thing.
If you are expecting to be able to follow my observations here on this site, you will require at least an introductory familiarity with eschatological mathematics. It is difficult to describe in detail how it works, because our best estimates as to its use varies each [...]

Deep Space Demons, Revealed! A First Dispatch from Ms. Soma, E.I.

Hello everybody, this is Ms. Soma, E.I., with your first RaptureWatch update.
In the world of eschatological investigation, few questions are more vexing than the existence of extra-terrestrials, and what they’re roll may be in the final equation. Equal to the vexation proposed by this troubling question is the rigorous erudition of Dr. Jack van Impe and his [...]
