Will I.B. retract if 2 billion don't die soon???
Over the weekend while in Arkansas/Mississippi... I stayed in the room of a young teen who kindly gave up his room to this old man ...
On his night stand was a Sept/Oct. 2007 issue of Irvin Baxter's Endtime Prophecy magazine that screamed "2 Billion People will Die in 12 Months?"
I know that this claim has been discussed here before ... and I was partially amused at his 4 page attempt to prove that 1/3 of the world would be obliterated ... and that it would have to happen in the last year of the Bush Presidency ... and that we are in the midst of WWIII .... and that could be engaging in the Euphrates River War by now ...
What I want to know ... is if this doesn't happen ... will he retract his claims to his readership come this fall?
When did the Church allow speculative prophetic punditry to become a big business?
I glance through the magazine and it's all about selling books and dvds ... Why so much interest in this anyway?
How is this any different from prosperity preaching?
Is it too much to keep our preachers accountable for these types of claims?

I don't think Baxter was saying it would happen
in the NEXT 12 months but rather in the course of a
12 month period ( when it does happen)

Of course this will be his out ... Mark ...
but anyone who reads that article ... sees how he cleverly weaves how today's headlines all seem to line up with a timeline he suggests to his readers .... with photos of our military, Real national IDs, and ties to the Bush White House
It's like reading the Enquirer, IMO.

Bro Baxter is a good man,Dan.
I don't think it's what he'll use for an out.
the first time I read it that's exactly how I
saw it for what it was - he didn't set a date or
a deadline

Bro ... he uses montage to make his points ... including suggesting either directly or indirectly that today's headlines are tied to this happening very soon.
The article says we are in the midst of WWIII ... and suggests that if this does happen that he felt it would likely happen during Bush's last year.

He "Felt" ...."likely happen"
Now, is that what you call as date setting or fact ????

Dan, in the title of the article there is a question mark. So was he asserting this or examining it as a possibility?

See post 33 ... and his subsequent videos on the subject ... you decide.
How definitive is the neighborhood palm reader?

"Like reading the Enquirer"... wow... very well said Sister. It keeps them coming back for more, and people excuse his error's because they don't understand it either. A prophet in the Old Testament would be stoned for not understanding and if their predictions didn't come to pass... we just send them more money to guess again.

He's had people on the edge of hysterics for years.
