Bachmann Predicted The World Would End In 2006: ‘We Are In The Last Days’

Slate’s Dave Weigel has reported an audio recording of Bachmann praying for the notoriously anti-gay ministry You Can Run But You Can’t Hide, run by the radical preacher Bradlee Dean. Bachmann offered the prayer in 2006 (though the recording was uploaded in 2008). In it, Bachmann predicts, “We are in the last days,” and says, “The harvest is at hand” — a Biblical allusion to the Rapture when some believe God will take saved Christians from the earth and leave the non-believers to face several years of torment and tribulation before the second coming of Christ:

BACHMANN: Lord, the day is at hand. We are in the last days. You are a Jehovah God. We know that the times are in your hands. And we give them to you…The day is at hand, Lord, when your return will come nigh. Nothing is more important than bringing sheep into the fold. Than bringing new life into the kingdom…You have weeded that garden. The harvest is at hand.


As Weigel noted, it’s not terribly surprising that Bachmann is among those evangelical Christians who believe the end of the world is imminent. But it’s still disconcerting that someone campaigning to lead America into the future believes that its days are numbered and millions of its citizens are doomed. Bachmann has toned down her religious rhetoric considerably since hitting the campaign trail.

Also jarring is Bachmann’s belief that “nothing is more important than” converting people before the world ends. As she weighs in on critical debates like whether or not to let the U.S. default on its obligations, it’s troubling that Bachmann is rooting for the apocalypse.

These idiots actually believe that since she said that in 2006 that that means she believed the world was going to end in 2006.

Oy, vey.

So ? According to many primitives, the population of the Earth should be nearly extinct, as the enhanced storms, flooding, and heat from Global Warming radically reshape the planet. Those who have survived are cancer and mutation ridden, as the all but vanished ozone layer has exposed all of life to lethal doses of radiation.

I almost forgot -

The new Japanese milk exports, Milk+ and Ultramilk are turning our children in mutants, some of which with supernatural powers.

Maybe if any of those morons ever cracked a Bible, then they may understand what Christians believe in.
Good grief Christians have been saying the end is near for 2,000 years, it doesn't mean they are saying next Tuesday.

Yep, they laugh at fundies who believe the rapture will come some day, yet they predict the end of the world by next week if we don't raise taxes.
