Glenn Beck tells South Carolina crowd: "Ted Cruz will get you through the Rapture."

From DeadState:

Beck, who has been campaigning for Cruz in South Carolina, called on Christians during a rally at Rick Joyner‘s MorningStar Fellowship Church to “fall to your knees and pray to God to reveal to you what the hour is.”

The former Fox News host also spent a good half hour weeping and shouting at the crowd, while claiming that he accurately predicted the 9/11 attacks, the 2008 economic crisis and the supposed rise of the caliphate.

“I’m here as a fellow citizen,” Beck said. “And I’m begging you, please do not dismiss the peril we are in. Fall to your knees and pray to God to reveal to you what the hour is.”

“Ask our dear Lord to show you who the man is that has the integrity, who has the connection, who will fall to his knees at the Resolute Desk, who, before he acts, doesn’t think of a poll but looks to the Constitution and the holy scriptures; our Bible and the Constitution both come from God, they are both sacred scriptures!”

“I know there is a God. I testify to you that I see a storm coming,” he continued, saying that God has a plan to save this nation but it requires Christians to do everything they can to elect Cruz.”

Do Mormon's do the end times rapture stuff? I ask because none of my lbs friends have ever seemed apocalyptic like that. Is Beck in an off shoot or is it more common than I've noticed?

years. They are post-trib rather than pre-trib, and they never use the term "rapture." Beck converted to Mormonism later in life and retains a lot of extra-Mormon beliefs.

There isn't a ton of room for personal deviation on major issues. They believe in living prophets so their belies are usually fairly unified. I'm slightly surprised Beck hasn't been called before his Bishop or one of the higher ups about his non-orthodox beliefs. Then again, he probably tithes regularly..

Additional Names Of Satan:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan (Scroll down to "Satan in Christianity" In the Christian understanding of the holy Hebrew scriptures, the one named Satan (also the Devil) is shown to be an Angel who rebelled against God, the one who spoke through the serpent and seduced Eve into disobeying God's command. Before his opposition against God, Satan was the "HIGHEST OF ALL ANGELS = ARCHANGEL, which is a superior or higher ranking Angel." Also known as The "BRIGHTEST IN THE SKY" = MORNING STAR", and "LUCIFER is a name for the MORNING STAR". The best-known "FALLEN ANGEL is SATAN." His pride is considered a reason why he would not bow to God as all other angels did, but sought to rule heaven himself. In Christianity he is called "THE RULER OF THE DEMONS" (Matt. 12:24).




Peace,

Ghost
