Family Research Council president Tony Perkins has been broadcasting his âWashington Watchâ radio program from Israel this week, where he is helping to lead an FRC tour group. Also on the tour is former Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who joined Perkins on the program on Wednesday to share her view that biblical prophecy is being fulfilled all around her and that it was more urgent than ever to convert as many people as possible â including Jews â to Christianity to prepare for the imminent return of Christ.
âAlmost every article in the paperâ has to do with conflicts in Israel, Bachmann said, âand it ties with so much biblical prophecy. This week really was about biblical prophecy in many ways. And weâre seeing as events are speeding up, events are speeding up so quickly right now, and we see how relevant the Bible is, and weâre reading our newspaper, at the same time weâre learning about these biblical events, and itâs literally day by day by day, weâre seeing the fulfillment of scripture right in front of our eyes, even while weâre on the ground.â
âWe recognize the shortness of the hour,â she said, âand thatâs why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can â even among the Jews â share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, Heâs coming soon.â
The gilgul concept is not literal, but more as you indicated, a [continued] mission.
Lots of stuff out there like David (and the Messiah) being the gilgul of Adam, Moses as the gilgul of Abel, and so forth.
Background info, FWIW, regardless of what the NT is (or is not) conveying about the subject.
Thanks.

That's probably what she's thinking.
How does that differ from the Mooslimes believing we all have to be converted to their religion?
Is Bachmann advocating slaughtering anyone who doesn't convert? No? Then there's your answer.
It's pretty much the same thing from where I sit.
Then you need to sit somewhere else.
What if I'm perfectly happy with my religion and don't see anything whatsoever attractive about other religions that I'd want to drop mine and adopt theirs?
Then do just that.
