The vitamin salesman wants the world to end, so Jesus will come back (I'm readers-digesting)
Too flippant?
Then go read three tomes about biggie history,
And existentialism vs nihilism,
with a dash of predestination thrown in.
Binge on "Millennium" (the TV show from before the Millennium.)
"The specific Christian theology to which Huckabee subscribes, known as dispensational premillennialism, promotes a narrative that the whole of history, past and future, is already written. Rather conspiratorially, it suggests that elect believers have the knowledge to interpret future history by claiming to read the Bible literally.
What this means: Despite their infallible belief that the future is foretold, Christian Zionists grant themselves some agency by claiming their actions were guided by God. If Trump chooses to act as another Esther, in this framework, he is doing so as part of the pre-established chain of actions that will lead to the Rapture."(Link)
