Beck is ramping up more eschatological fear and terror (I wonder why he hasn’t bought into the May 21st thing yet) with this later event announced on today’s show.
He’s quoting Dietrich Bonhoeffer of all people. That’s like Jim West quoting N.T. Wright, and especially getting it so very wrong…
Now, start listening to what he is calling for… he wants to go to Jerusalem for a last stand…
Glenn… Ezekiel hasn’t been written for 5000 years….
And… ‘Gates of Hell’…. I wonder if he knows what that really means…
And does anyone else think that he sounds like a prosperity preacher?
Joel Landon Watts is a Masters of Theological Studies student with a focus in Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific ideals of the past century. Currently, he is a TA for Old Testament at United Theological Seminary under Dr. Vivian Johnson, Associate Professor of Old Testament. His first book, Rhetorical Strategies of the Evangelist: Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark, is expected to be published by Wipf and Stock early next year. He is currently co-editing a book on moving from Fear to Faith (Energion, 2013).
But is he a Diedrich Bader? That’s a good question right there…
