I have no idea why Savage is taking this so seriously. Savage is fairly versed in bible scripture, and he's interested in varying opinions on faith.

Undecided.
I have read interpretations of Revelation that suggest it all references events that happened already. Seems very possible to me. Indeed, it opens with a statement that the time is near, after all.
I have read other interpretations that consistently kick the ball down field, suggesting that it discusses events that are yet to come. That's fine, but the advocates are always changing interpretations and events to fit whatever is going on at the current time.
I think there are a lot of hucksters out there who exploit people's faiths and fears. When one prediction doesn't pan out, they make some more. You have to be pretty gullible to fall for that.
I am also personally turned off by extrapolations from text that support theories like The Rapture, which at best has a loose metaphorical basis in biblical text. I find advocates of that point of view creepy and self serving (it will be hell on earth but of course they will be spared). That smacks of a strange ego and indeed a form of mental illness. Buttressed by the giddiness of some of the advocates of that point of view (they seem genuinely thrilled that they will be spared and everyone who doesn't agree with them get to live through hell on earth), I find adherents of that view creepy, off putting, strange, and immature.
I am a practicing Roman Catholic and am open to the idea that Revelation discusses future events, maybe even some within my lifetime. Personally, I don't care much. I get judged on my judgment day whether I go alone or whether 1/3 of the population of the globe goes with me. My mission in life is the same, and my final chapter is the same.
So my answer is I don't know whether it describes events that have already happened or events to come. I do know that I have to live my life the same way in either case. A fixation on 'the end' just around the corner strikes me as an odd and unproductive distraction.

Whew, interview with Hagee over, praise the Lord. I must admit my eyes glaze over when I hear this End Times Prophecy stuff, not because I think it's whacked out but it just completely goes over my head, sorta like trying to understand Revelations. So okay the end is in sight, now what?
To: whatisthetruth
So okay the end is in sight, now what?That pretty much sums up my view. My day to day mission in life, from a Christian perspective, remains the same.

No need to tell me, FT. When Hezbollah calls for a ceasefire, you'll know that Israel has them on the ropes. As Savage has stated many times, the Israelis are in the fight of their lives right now. I have to say I'm a little surprised that Olmert hasn't agreed to a ceasefire by now. Kudos to him for not listening to Coffeecup and the rest of the Jew-hating world.

You're describing a rapture that happens before the tribulation. While that is maybe the majority view, I do not share it. I believe in a rapture (a removal of the believers) afterwards, when believers will be dealing with the ultimate Hitler for a few years, just like everyone else.

Works for me. Like I have said, I turn to God in any event. Whether the Rapture is Pre-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation, I personally don't think it's very important vis a vis how I have to live my life, and my own judgment.

A delightful surprise to hear Pastor John Hagee on the Savage show today. A very astute scholar, thoroughly footnoted writer, and comprehensive speaker, Hagee is a worthy guest. Hagee's book, Israel Countdown, is a must read today. I began recommending it here some months ago, and it is right on.
