Good Grief-Glenn Beck Today: Ted Cruz is "The Mormon Prophecy" Sent To Save The World from the "last of days"

Posted on March 20, 2016 by sundance

This isn’t the first time Glenn Beck has said his blessed candidate was the representative image and embodiment of his lord and savior who has arrived to save the world. Beck also isn’t the only one who believes it. Ted’s father has said something similar when he proclaimed “Ted was anointed to take control of society“.

Previously Glenn Beck proclaimed that God killed Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to insure Ted Cruz wins the republican nomination. Today Beck proclaimed the “end of days”, and Senator Cruz as the prophecy fulfilled.

A reasonable person has to wonder how this prophetic sales pitch is supposed to help beyond a very narrow segment of the religious electorate:

UTAH – […] Beck said that he, like many Mormons, believes in a prophecy that the Constitution will hang by a thread in the last days. He said he believes that now is that time, and people like Lee and Cruz will save it.

He also said the Book of Mormon was created as a guide on how to protect freedom in our day. At the Provo rally, many responded yelling, “I believe, I believe.” (read more) [video available here]

Beck appears to be describing the Mormon belief in a White Horse prophecy

Cruz is really looking like a fool for ever answering that phone call from Glenn.

BS - please provide one action your “theocrat” would impose on the rest of us?

[VanDeKoik]

“From what I can tell, most of the anti-Beck sentiment is simply thinly veiled Christian bashing.”

And your bashing of Obama is obviously just thinly-veiled racism, right?

No? Really? Well then, I hoped you learned a valuable lesson today that Beck is a frigging loon, that says retarded stuff that just because you hear Jesus or bible sprinkled in his delusional ramblings does not make it something YOU are required to swallow.

[smoothsailing]

Beck isn’t espousing Christian thinking, he’s spreading delusional nonsense. YOU need to get a grip.

[SampleMan]

Curiously, I’ve heard FRumpsters right here on FR say almost the exact same thing about Trump.

In fact, one of them keeps pointing to Trump’s ability to dodge the media as a certain sign of prophecy being fulfilled.

[jonno]

Fine. I'm curious, please provide a specific quote of his - referenced in this thread that you think is "weird".

[jonno]

Fine. I’m curious, please provide a specific quote of his - referenced in this thread - that you think is “delusional nonsense”.

[MichaelCorleone]

Mormons deny that Jesus is the Christ?

[MikeSteelBe]

Beck went full ecumenical retard, and you don’t do that.

[jonno]

Did Cruz actually say those words?

If not, what is your point (other than thin-veiled Christian bashing)?

[20yearsofinternet]

Cruz stands on stage with Beck and fully accepts everything he says as part of his campaign platform. He has been one of Cruz’s chief campaign surrogates for months. If Beck is saying it, on stage, at a Cruz rally, then Cruz owns it too.

As for my “thin-veiled Christian bashing”, your accusation is a complete non-starter to a conversation that’s not worth either of us having. Mormonism is a cult that perverts Christianity.

We live in TN. Years ago, a couple of Mormon missionaries
came by the house (my husband was at work). One of them
lent me a book telling it all about Mormonism. I read it
overnight. When they came back next day; I told him that
if I understood that book right that the Mormon men are
supposed to be “given” all the women they proselytize for
wives in the next world. He said yeah, that’s right.

I told him sorry; being barefoot & pregnant & the member
of a harem for all eternity did not appeal to me & returned
his book. They vamoosed. I’m not going to mistreat nobody;
but have always told them nicely from that time on that I
am not interested. That may describe “heaven” to some fat
Mormon man; but it describes “hell” fairly well to me.

It worked for Obama but it was embarrassing then as well.

This crap doesnt do Cruz or conservatism any good at all.

[smoothsailing]

That does it. I’m not voting for Beck now.

LOL, you big meanie. You'll just make him cry, you know. 8^)

[trisham]

This really scares me.

[Thistooshallpass9]

I think Beck is sincere, but I don’t think this type of endorsement could help Cruz beyond the Mormon community’s relatively lightweight vote.

[mjp]

Today Beck proclaimed the “end of days”,

Not quite yet. He is confusing the prior conditions and prior events, and the general condition of the Church leading up to the end of days with the actual beginning of the end of days, which will start with the covenant of death between the Antichrist and Israel.

I think they recognize Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior, I don’t know.

Here is a link to how the Mormons use “double-think.” Mormonism is not a form of religion I would want anything to do with.

I suggest people do their own research and decide for themselves.....

Also, Romney has made MANY references to Trump using the term “ism,” such as racism and on and on. Maybe Romney should look in the mirror and notice his religion ends with an “ism.”
