I've seen a couple of shares on Facebook leading to this organization in Tennessee, Perry Stone Ministries. Reading through comments following some of his posts is insightful. There's the usual very literal interpretation of specific verses to fit a point, but there's also an element of belief that what this man says is prophetic, and a "word from the Lord." Apparently, he's now on the oft-repeated theme of Obama being the antichrist with new "evidence" being his recent pushing of the US abstention of the most recent UN resolution on Israel. That's fired up the troops. There's a litany of reasons why Obama must be Muslim, can't be Christian, is evil, and why "our" country needed to be "taken back." There are plenty of flat statements that Trump was God's choice. Absolute silence on all of the immorality, lying, and corruption. The few voices that point these things out are attacked and beaten up verbally. There are a few themes that run through the recent conversation--
1.A prophecy, or prediction, that Stone apparently made that Obama would find a way to avoid leaving the White House by declaring some sort of state of emergency to prevent Trump from taking over.
2.The recent UN vote is a sign of the end times, and this failure to stand with Israel will bring destruction to the US and punishment and judgment, just like the Gaza decision brought on Hurricane Katrina. It's proof that Obama is a Muslim.
3.The recent UN decision is Obama's way of showing the rest of the Israel-hating world that he is ready to become the one-world leader by ascending to the position of Secretary General of the UN. HIs plan was to run for that position once Hillary was elected, so that the two of them could rule the world, he as the antichrist, she as the false prophet.
So, this ministry, from its statement of faith, is pretty high gear Charismatic, though it is "non-denominational" and probably attracts people from all backgrounds. This, however, is not the only place where I've heard or seen this kind of stuff. Interesting that many of those who post talk about how it is that God uses sinful people to accomplish his purpose, in reference to Obama being the means by which God is ushering in the end times, and then they turn around and defend Trump with almost the same words.
I think most of us here understand our theological perspective on most things, though the end-times discussions don't always bring that out. I do not share this perspective at all regarding the place of God's chosen people Israel, or the modern state of Israel, in prophecy at all. But this is certainly a factor in American politics and faith. Is anyone else seeing this stuff?
