Apocalypse No! (Updated)

Please imagine the following scenario for just one moment:

Amessianic sect, which sees itself as the right arm of God, underminesmainstream Judaism as well as key positions of international power.Supported by Christian fanatics it gains access to presidential palacesin America, Russia and Israel. From there both parties try to bringworld events into line with Biblical prophecies – events that have tobe pursued to their bitter end: Then only when the last prophecy hasbeen fulfilled, will the longed-for Messiah descend to earth. It isexactly this vision which prepares the ground for the most devastatingof all wars – Armageddon – starting with the Middle East.

The next time you see a CNN special on the attack on the Chabbad House in Mumbai, you will have a better idea of what Chabad Lubavich reallyis after reading this article. Wolfgang Eggert München’s lengthy,well-sourced essay below is worthy of a careful reading. ChabadLubavich is a name that was brought to the world’s attention during therecent attacks in Mumbai, India. München brings the thread of thisextemist sect together with threads of Christian Fundamentalism andpowerful members of the U.S. government and with them, weaves the veryreal fabric of an apocalyptic civil-religion that threatens all of us.I received my theologicaltraining at Bob Jones University, the bedrock of fundamentalistChristianity in the United States, where thousands of students areindoctrinated with this eschatology, apocalyptic prophecy, every year.As a former, ordained, fundamentalist minister, who once belonged tothis ideology, I can say with authority that München’s view of theinfluence of Christian Zionism is dead-accurate, altho ugh hisreference to “Pentacostal Christianity” is far too limited when appliedto his reference group. This powerful group would be more accuratelynamed “Christian Fundamentalism” or that part of EvangelicalChristianity that meets München’s criteria. I knew/know many followersof this religious madness personally.

Today, when this breed ofChristians is challenged about their support for the anti-christian”war on terror”, the war on Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon,Palestine and other Arab/Muslm countries – and when questioned abouttheir support for the State of Israel, their answers are uniform alongthese lines:

“This war is the will ofGod and we cannot oppose it. The Books of Ezekiel and Daniel in theHebrew Old Testament and Revelation in the Christian New Testament”,Armageddon was prophesied. We are in the end times. We must do the willof God.”

This self-fulfilling, fanaticalprophecy has brought us to the brink of nuclear holocaust. The attacksin Mumbai have brought two nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, to afearsome confrontation. These attacks set the stage for theredeployment of U.S. troops in Pakistan as promised by the new face onthe U.S. empire, Barack Obama. During his campaign he repeatedlypromised us he would take the “war on terror” to Pakistan. ChabadLubavich and its members along with international Zionism, ChristianZionism and members of the U.S. government lie together in the beddescribed in the article below.

(update) At Axis of Logic, wetake exception to München’s call to sign the petition which can befound at the end of this article. In this regard, Robert Thompson,Senior columnist at Axis of Logic writes:

“Wolfgang München has done aremarkable job in this article, but I cannot sign the petition, withits rather illogical inclusion (towards the end) of references toPresident Ahmadinejad, who has never (so far as I am aware, anyway)made any such mad threats to humanity. If he ever did, I would be mostinterested to know exactly what he said and when, since, as we allknow, his comments about correcting maps (i.e. Israel) wasmistranslated and blown out of all proportion.

We all should be very careful about making accusations without giving details, where they are, as in this case, essential.”
