askye at 12:30am on 23/01/2004One more thing before I go to bed. I watched hockey tonight. ( hockey talk )
During one of the intermissions of hockey I was flipping through the channels and accidentally hit on the religion channel that was just added. The cable company changed the line up, WGN used to be there and now it's not. So out of habit I flipped to the channel.
I saw Jack Van Impe, looking the same as he did when I first saw him about 15 yrs ago when his show was on the Fox affiliate in the early mornings. Jack Van Impe's a television preacher who has a show with his wife Rexella (that's really her name) and their thing is The End Times and Prophecies. (capital letters mine)
Just to see if Jack had changed his spiel any I went to look. And nope! He was still doing the same thing. He talks rather fast, says a bunch of things about how the world is going to end and at the end of most sentences throws in a book, chapter, and verse, from the Bible that supposedly supports what he has to say. It's sort of like Subliminal Man. BlahblahblahDaniel53:12blahblahblablalblahablahActs 4:2BlahblahblahblahExodus16:2blahblahblahblahAnd Jesus Will come down and save us!
I made up the Biblical references.
But he jumps around from the Old Testement to the New Testement and says things so fast you can barely understand him. He says that the second coming will be 2018. He knows this for a fact. He even did the math. My memory isn't that great but I'm pretty sure 15 or so years ago he had a different date.
Idly I wondered when he changed the date and how he justified it his viewers. Also his bad guy went from being the UN to the EU.
