one of my teachers said that jack van impe had said that according to his studies, the antichrist is alive today and is about 31 years old (depending on when my teacher heard this.) i was wondering if anyone could find a source on the internet for this.
NOTE: this is not a religious debate or debate of any kind. i am not actually asking whether anyone on this board believes the antichrist is 31; i’m only asking if someone such as impe ever said such a thing and how they came to this conclusion.
I believe he lives in Yonkers and runs a drycleaning service. After all, only he can make sure Satin gets its due.
This sounds like Impe, but, then again, he IS a total wack-job.
It is Osama Muhammud bin Laden, according to latest sources, or at least many Muslims are proclaiming that, and OBL has just recently added the Muhammud to his name, to lead Islam to the conquest of the rest of the world in the name of allah. Age may be a bit different from 31.
If you know who Jehovah God is,
Then you shold know who allah isn’t,
And if you know who allah isn’t ,
You can figure out who allah is!
Hmm…just how old is Carrot Top, anyway?
that’s weird about osama; but that doesn’t necessarily make him the antichrist. think about it… for one, how many other wackos out there have ever claimed to be God/the Messiah? and the antichrist is supposed to be appealing at first to all people… including americans… which he definitely is not. also, i SERIOUSLY doubt he’s a jew or will ever claim to be one.
Many of the “these are the last days” people viewed somewhere in 1999-2001 as the target date for The Big Event they’ve been waiting 2000 years for. If the AntiChrist were to be old enough to just start doing things, then he’d be around 30 now.
Keep in mind, that these target dates are purely for people easily impressed by non-sensical round numbers.
OOPS
According to sources quoted in World Net Daily ObL has taken the middle name of Muhammud in keeping with the teaching of some of the Muslim clerics that he is the promised one of the quran.
Van Impe likely used an Ouija Board as there is nothin in the Bible to support such an idea. May have found it in a commentary or similar volume but not in the Bible.
I was always taught that the antichrist would be the person one would least suspect them to be. A wolf in sheeps clothing.
I nominate G.W Bush. He APPEARS to be christian, but is he?
Figures the Anti-Christ would come out of the 70s. Nothing good came out of the 70s.
He’s full of it. I just turned 50.
[Van Impe hijack] One of the craziest things about Jack V.I. is that he found his wackjob soulmate in a woman improbably named Drusilla. Even crazier still, I envy them both for their perfect love. (I tend to regard the Van Impes the way I do the Disney cartoon dogs that bonded over the plate of spaghetti; I can envy them their perfect love and their good fortune in finding each other, without wanting to be a cartoon dog, or a real dog, myself.) That two Armaggeddon-obsessed, glibly unflappable, hairspray-addict televangelists could against all the odds find each other in this cwazy world is fine and dandy for them, okay, and, ahem, God bless them, but I’m still waiting to find my perfect soulmate, and occasionally I get to feeling just a tad impatient… Argh!
Anyway, wasn’t “Drusilla” the name of the Roman Emperor Caligula’s incestuous sister/lover, or something? Has anyone heard of another woman by that name?
…Okay, I just did a Google search on “Drusilla,” and got umpteenth pages of hits, many devoted to a vampiress character from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. Which makes this even funnier, IMHO. Oh, and I was sadly right about the Caligula connection. He also named his daughter (that he had with his sister) “Julia Drusilla Caligula”. Ick, and double-ick. [/V.I. hijack]
Oh, crap. After another Google search, I stand corrected: Mrs. Van Impe’s first name is “Rexella”.
[Rosanne Rosannadanna] Never mind. [/RR]
Rexella is far weirder and worse, if it’s any consolation.
Feminization of Rex, presumably. Far as I’m concerned, they’re both best reserved for pet cats!
Any Muslim terrorist will do. This guy thinks Khadaffi is the antichrist, as predicted by Nostradamus. Twenty years ago, it was a popular belief among the lunatic fringe, the same kooks that now believe it is Osama bin Laden.
I don’t know anywhere that it has been published on the Net. For a mere $24.95 “donation” (plus $4 S&H), Jack will send you his own VHS tape explaining to you everything about the Antichrist.
(I’d save my money, if I were you. The linkage of the word “antichrist” (which never appears in the book of Revelation) to some human is simply part of the non-biblical nonsense dreamed up in the last couple of hundred years. Whatever Jack may say about it is pure invention. John uses the word antichrist in his Epistles to refer to anyone who opposes the message or actions of Christ. There is no single person who is supposed to be identified as “The Antichrist.”)
Of course, Jerry Falwell has declared that the antichrist is alive, today (thus clearly indicating that Falwell is utterly ignorant of Scripture).
I know Van Impe probably isn’t smart enough to realize this, but everybody else is aware that ouija boards are just pieces of cardboard with no special powers, right? Right?
