[Dr. Eckleburg]

He became mesmerized by the events in the Middle East and allowed that to color his scholarship.

"Mesmerized" is a good word. Most of these guys are dazzled by the bright lights and gaudy baubles of end-time prophecies.

But at its core, it is a political gambit and is being used to push a political agenda.

The politics may even be correct. But certainly not for theological reasons.

Every time I hear about the third temple being built, I cringe.

Jesus Christ is the third temple.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"Every time I hear about the third temple being built, I cringe. Jesus Christ is the third temple."

Dr. E,
Now hows the Antichrits gonna sit in "Jesus" and proclaim himself to be "God"????

(greeting to you - btw)
