Did anyone catch Glenn Beck's show yesterday about the 12th Imam?

I just wanted to know what you all think about Glenn's comparison of the bible's description of the coming of the anti christ and the muslim's focus on increasing chaos to bring back the 12th Imam?

[dragonblustar]

I thought it was an interesting show but I had questions as to how Glenn was addressing his audience since he is mormon. He kept repeating "know your religion". Was that directed to Mormons or was that a general statement for anyone involved with religion?

Ping: Any thoughts from The Flying Inmans?

Until the indisputable anti christ manifests itself then I am considering the sum total of the Left as a place holder.

I thought the show was fantastic. I got goose bumps when the author was discussing Revelation and the 12th Imam. The quoting of both “scriptures” was very educational especially the “mark of the beast”. I think when Beck said, “Know your religion”, he meant know the Christian version. Know the signs and read the bible. He also had his friend who is a Muslim and said that this part of extremism exists but not for good Muslims. It certainly made you think about Sharia law and how many of our politicians are “siding” with the evil one. IMHO.

Was the little baby crying? Or just showing off for the GA’s.

I can’t abide a view or a listen to that dumbass.

I didn't have a chance to watch Glenn but I get the sense that Joel Richardson's thesis about the 2th Imam being the AC was front and center. Is that accurate?

BTW, Richardson makes a lot of sense re: this matter IMO.

I take it as a general statement for anyone involved with religion since Beck has a wide audience.

I've always been fascinated by the prophecy in the book of Revelations and thought Beck did a very good job of connecting the dots between radical Islam and the anti-Christ.

I've always contented that BO doesn't have the brains to actually be the anti-Christ, just a willing tool. Plus I've always thought that St. John's description of the anti-Christ pointed to an entity and not a single person.

Beck's analysis makes excellent sense when you consider that said entity is the unholy alliance between the far left and radical Islam. Both heads of this unholy alliance hate not only Christianity, but its roots (Judaism) and its results (Western Civilization).

I caught it yesterday. I thought it was real journalism because he went into an area that everyone is afraid to go.

From an orthodox Christian POV, he was right on— although he failed to mention that the church will not be on earth when the anti-Christ is revealed (at least I didn’t hear it).

As far as Islam, I didn’t know specifically that it paralleled Christianity to that degree. But his show did underscore the problems Islam has with textual criticism and canonicity of their writings. There is NO WAY they will reconcile it because they have no standard in which to include/exclude the many hadiths.

As the Christian author pointed out; the majority of orthodox muslims hold that all the hadiths are divine, therefore they cannot be excluded.

[dragonblustar]

He had two chalk boards. One showed how the bible tells of the coming anti christ and the other board showed how the 12th Imam is everything described in the bible as being the anti christ. He even said the muslims would embrace the “mark of the beast” upon their forehead.

I agree. I can't understand why the MSM will suppress this when 95% of the world practices a religion. When the Iranian nutjob wants to usher in the new age, the news media should report it.

[dragonblustar]

I was watching it and it just struck me a little weird hearing this from a mormon. I never, ever hear mormons talk like that. And I never hear them say “know your religion” or “ do your own homework”.

[dragonblustar]

I agree.

Thx! That is one show I wish I hadn’t missed. Wonder if it’ll be posted on youtube.

I think when Beck said, “Know your religion”, he meant know the Christian version.
_____________________________________________

And I think you would be thinking wrongly...

While Glenn Beck often pushes his own mormon religion, he very rarely mentionsw Christianity...

Most of his religious meanderings on Aug 28 was straight from the book of mormon and sermons by past mormon priests and prophets about the mormon version of American history and the early government...

And his shows and his guests are not always Christian topics..

[Secret Agent Man]

The 12th Imam is the Antichrist. The characteristics and actions of the Antichrist in the Bible match up to what the 12th imam does in the koran.

[Utah Binger]

“Know your Religion” is a oft used Mormon phrase.

[Tennessee Nana]

although he failed to mention that the church will not be on earth when the anti-Christ is revealed (at least I didn’t hear it).

Its not part of mormon doctrine...

[momtothree]

With respect to this particular show, what was discussed about Revelation is in my bible and I’m not Mormon. Granted, it isn’t the easiest read in the bible and can be viewed differently by many Christians. However, the main points in comparison were frightening.
