FLASHBACK: Glenn Beck’s Armageddon Prediction For August 22, 2006

Having survived the Rapture of May 2011, let’s take a look back at an End Times prediction by evanga-pundit Glenn Beck from 2006:

Look, everybody is talking about politics today, and we will, too, later on in the program. But first, I want to talk about something much more important. August 22nd — it is the day that Israel might be wiped off the map, leading to all-out Armageddon.

August 22nd could be the day that makes people who are the most skeptical about my World War III theory say, “Holy mother of God, what’s happening?” August 22nd could be the day that agnostics get down on one knee and start to pray, “Sweet Jesus, are you coming today?”

What I’m about to tell you nobody else is going to tell you. Honestly, it gave me great pause today, because it’s verging on the edge of insanity. It really is. With that being said, the source is so good there’s no way I can’t tell you this news.

Let me make this clear. This is not my theory, and I hope that it’s wrong. Princeton University’s Professor Bernard Lewis, this guy, look him up. He has been called the most influential post-war historian of Islam and the Middle East. He is suggesting that Iran’s Islamic end-of-times prophecies could be fulfilled on August 22nd. This August 22nd, 13 days from now.

August 22nd is, in the Islamic calendar, the date that Saladin, a 12th-century Muslim warrior, entered and conquered Jerusalem. It is also the date when Mohammed flew up to the furthest mosque, a.k.a. Jerusalem, then to heaven and then back again.

So to Muslims, I guess, August 22nd is like Christmas and Thanksgiving and New Year’s all rolled up into one. Here’s where it gets truly frightening: My theory all along has been that Iran has caused the current chaos in the Middle East to divert attention away from their nuclear program and stall for time.

President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly stated that he wants to personally bring back the 12th imam by destroying Israel. That’s Armageddon.

With that in mind, what must Beck be thinking by scheduling his upcoming event in Jerusalem for August 24? Does he still think the date is significant? Is he being deliberately provocative? Does he think he can launch the Apocalypse himself? After all, he has said of this event that “the very gates of Hell are going to open up against us.” and that “this may be it for our generation or for all mankind.”

I don’t know, I’m just asking. Have a nice summer.

  1. How long before the crazy bastard makes the connection between Herman Cain (the curse and mark of Cain) and Egyptus and the land of Ham?

    “… For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. And thus saith the Lord God; I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities.” (Book of Mormon)

    Anyone wanna wager how weird Beck is willing to get?
