RAPTURE

“Toe toe. Dancing very close. Barely breathing, almost comatose. Wall to wall. People hypnotized, and they’re stepping lightly. Hang each night in RAPTURE.” (Blondie-Rapture lyrics)

The rapture is a Christian belief that forms a major part of the current teaching and expectations of fundamentalist and other evangelical denominations. In its most popular current form, the doctrine involves Jesus Christ returning from Heaven towards earth. In violation of the law of gravity, saved individuals -- both dead and alive -- will rise up in the air and join Jesus in the sky:

Evangelical Christians believe that: The establishment--and continuation--of the State of Israel is essential to set the stage for the imminent return of Jesus. At the time of the Second Coming, these Christians believe, Jesus will descend from heaven, subdue all of Israel's enemies and take believers to heaven in what is known as the Rapture--literally, they will ascend to the clouds to be in heaven. This series of events ushers in the end-times. According to conservative Christians' reading of the Book of Revelation, this won't happen unless Israel exists in the Holy Land. (beliefnet, The Rapture Effect)

Pastor Mikey Huckabee always one who dreams that Jesus has chosen him to be his agent on Earth and wanna be presidential candidate from the Theocratic Fascist Evangelical T-Bagging Party pretends that he has a special place in his Christian heart for the State of Israel. He never really speaks clearly about his affinity with the Jews of that nation nor the Jews of this nation (after all Pastor Mikey has made it clear ‘Merica IS a Christian nation) but pretends he is an ally of Israel. He loves him some Nazi glamorization (as do most Evangelicals who have never read too much real history about the Nazi’s) and recently was sure that President Obama is opening the oven doors once again with his Nuclear agreement with Iran. Sadly if you just take Mikey at his word, the words he just speaks publicly and refuse to listen to ALL the other words he has spoken in the company of his Christian Crusaders you will find that the Pastor has other plans for the Jews and the State of Israel; it is called Rapture! The Pastor is all flummoxed that unless ALL of the Jews, as the Good Book insists are not gathered in Israel then Jesus will be pissed and will spite us all with no Rapture. If there is peace in the Middle East and ALL the world’s Jews don’t flock to Israel then his Lord and Savior will not kill all the non believers to save the real believers (Christians of course) and make not only the USA a Christian homeland but the entire Earth. It ain’t about ovens for the Jews it’s about Rapture!
