TIME: That's very different from, say, the vision put out in the Left Behind books.

Wright: Yes. If there's going to be an Armageddon, and we'll all be in heaven already or raptured up just in time, it really doesn't matter if you have acid rain or greenhouse gases prior to that. Or, for that matter, whether you bombed civilians in Iraq. All that really matters is saving souls for that disembodied heaven.

While it is true we are to be good stewards of the earth, the idea this guy is putting out that "acid rain" and "greenhouse gases" will make it harder for God to create the new heavens and the new earth is idiotic.

And why do I suspect that when he refers to bombing "civilians" in Iraq, he is not talking about jihadist terrorists but rather the U.S. military?

2 Peter 3: "the day of the Lord will come as a theif in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the words that are in it will be burned up."

Rev 21: "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away"

Rev 21: "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.

But he said, "In the Gospels"...Apparently his bible ends at the last Gospel...
