Now, there’s one party in America that’s made the United Nations the enemy. And I don’t know how many of you have ever read that series of books that’s published by the Christian right that’s called the "Left Behind" series? Probably nobody’s read it up here. But don’t feel bad, I’m not recommending it to you. I’m just telling you that according to the book cover that I saw in the airport, 55 million copies have been printed. And in it, the Antichrist is the United Nations. And so there’s this huge, ill-informed body of sentiment out there that’s just grinding away against the United Nations.

I posted this diary at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/7/29/142849/424>
I was so shocked by this video that I can't even remember how I discovered it. It's made by Max Blumenthal, who made the Young Republicans "Generation Chickenhawk" video that people were watching last week. He is a very slick infiltrator and manages to get alot of inside stuff on these Rapture folks, before getting exited from the building by cops without an explanation.
There is nothing in the Bible about The Rapture. It was thought up by an 18th century Fire and Brimstone preacher. These folks depend on interpretations of others, just as they do for the Constitution. They don't read the Bill of Rights and I am not so sure they read the Bible either.
Here is the video:

Max Blumenthal's work has appeared in The Nation, Huffington Post, Salon and Media Matters. His father is Sidney Blumenthal, former Clinton Aide and frequent Guardian contributor par excellence. He has managed to interview Michelle Malkin, David Horowitz, Ann Coulter.
The Rapture is a core belief component of conservative Christians. They believe Jesus will descend from Heaven and bring the spirits of his followers up to meet the spirits of the already dead followers. They will all be immortals, leaving the earth empty. They also believe all related events are prophesied.
They predict a seven-year period of tribulation (which we are six years into) before the Second Coming of Christ. The Jews would first have to be converted to Christianity. For more, just watch the video.
Then ask yourself: Who is the real antiChrist?
