Palin's Apocalypse

Christian journalist and leading expert on the religious right Chip Berlet has a list of questions he'd like Mrs. Palin to answer.

Does she see herself as a warrior for Christ in the New Apostolic Movement? Does her support for Israel have anything to do with The End Times and apocalyptic biblical prophecy? That's what her home church espouses, and that's no exaggeration. Meet the players here, as Harry Hanbury of the American News Project reports on the preachers in Palin's Apocalypse.

So, let's get down to it. Does Sarah Palin believe in the Anti-Christ?

Does she believe true Christians will be whisked up to heaven sometime in the near future? Does she expect Jesus to come back to earth in our lifetimes and battle the armies of Satan? Would biblical prophecies about Armageddon influence her foreign policy positions on Israel and Russia? These are urgent questions the media have failed to ask. According to Berlet, mainstream reporters tend to view apocalyptic fundamentalists as a "silly little side show" in American political life, when, in fact, one of their own may soon be a heartbeat away from the most powerful office in the world.
