Someone told me they heard a well-known evangelist say that they
believed George W. Bush would be the last President of the United
States. Does this ring a bell?

Clarification of Question by shikibobo-ga on 02 Jul 2004 07:02 PDT

I am simply looking for an answer to the question as posted. No more
unrelated comments please. Please be sensitive to the fact that I am
notified upon each new comment.

Here's one such statement:

"President G.W. Bush became President of the United States in January
2001. In addition to Ezra 6:15 stating the completion of the house is
on the 3rd day of Adar, it also says in the sixth year of the reign of
Darius the king. The term, Darius, is a title used by whoever happened
to be in power at the time. In the United States it would be the same
as the title, "President." Since G.W. Bush became President in January
2001, at the start of the 7 year tribulation, the 6th year of his term
would begin in January 2006! It is our belief that he will probably
win the next election and be the last President in history before the
appearing of Jesus Christ!"

And another:

"And might it briefly be mentioned that this is equally what we see in
Yahweh's testimony regarding the mark of the beast 7 American
Presidents who died in office at 20-year election intervals, plus the
two following Presidents, making a total of 9. Reagan, the eighth, was
shot, yet survived the attack, defeating the death cycle. George W.
Bush was the ninth and final President in this cycle, and his election
will undoubtedly see the return of the Son of God to set up His
kingdom upon this earth. Thus we see that at the completion of this
Divine gestation period of 9 Presidents at 20 year intervals, the
offspring of the Son of Man will be brought forth."

While such speculations might be interesting, remember that Jesus said
no one will know the day or the hour of his second coming (Mat.
24:36): http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=MATT+24&language=english&version=NIV&showfn=on&showxref=on

Despite the clear statement of the Bible that no one will know the
exact time of Christ's return, date-setters and doom-sayers seem
always to be with us.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some 18th Century preacher
predicted that George Washington would be the final President of the
United States.

There's no doubt that you're right, Pink!

and according to the 'heavens gate' we were obliterated 4 years ago

If President Bush does become the last President, the implication is
that a new form of governmental power may replace his political
system. Just being replaced by another President would mean that the
present system goes on. The prophecy in the Bible at Daniel chapter 4
indicates that God removed his protection from his chosen nation of
Israel [ because of their failure to obey His laws and of their
worship of other false gods] in 607 BCE when they were captured and
put into slavery in Babylon. This was referred to as " the appointed
times of the nations" or " the times of the gentiles" [ Luke 21;24
King James version]. Seven times would pass before Jesus was appointed
Ruler over the Kingdom and/or government to come [ Matthew 6;9,10..let
your Kingdom come...]
A time, [ 1 time ] and times [ 2 times ] and half a time [ Revelation
12;6,14] total 1260 days. So a time would be 360 days. Seven times
would be 7 X 360 = 2520 days. Counting  a day for a year, 2520 years.
So from 607 BCE to 1 BCE = 606 years, and from 1 BCE to 1914 = 1914
years. 1914 plus 606 equal 2520 years. So the gentile times ended in
1914. This is the year that Jesus Christ began his rule and Satan was
hurled to the earth [ Revelation 12;7-12]. The earth has seen
virtually constant warfare since 1914. We have yet to see the
governments now in power actually " do away" with religion as we know
it in their attempts to maintain peace. First Thessalonians 5;2,3 "
For you yourselves know quite well that Jehovah`s day is coming
exactly as a thief in the night. Whenever it is that they are saying "
Peace and Security" , then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon
them just as the pang upon a pregnant woman". President Bush and other
world leaders are being gathered together for the final battle
described in Revelation 19;19 with " the One seated on the horse and
with His army". This can only be the resurrected Jesus, finally
cleansing the earth. And there are a lot of honest people throughtout
the world, of all races, who want to be on His side.

Pink is right... every generation seems to think its the last... oh,
the arrogance of our species!

for rai130, The bible has actually answered your comment. Second Peter
3; 3,4..For you know this first that in the last days there will come
ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own
desire, [4] and saying "Where is this PROMISED presence of his. Why,
from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, ALL THINGS ARE
CONTINUING EXACTLY AS FROM CREATIONS BEGINNING". Yes!, I agree Rai,
that every generation claims  it might happen, and seemingly never
does, but it will, and soon. All the pointers are there for anyone to
see. Second Timothy 3;1-5

"As I have said since a few days after 911, President Bush will be the
last President of the united states as We The People have mistakenly
come to know it."

This is the best I could find on the internet, I don't think anyone
who is  well known said this but if they did I would have to guess
Benny Hinn or som other TBN "Prophet".

Here are some links to Fred smart and where I found the imformation.

as Noam chomsky put it in his book "hegemony or survival" , the ruling
classes, put their hegemony above anything else, and given the power
they posses at our time they certainly capable to poseing a real
therat to survival of the human civilization, and in fact their
endless pursuit for increasing violence in our society as well as
their pursuit for the destroction of the biosphere could mean the end
of civilization, and in that sence if bush is succsessful enough he
could be the last president.

I don't know if this is what you heard about and are looking for, but
here are some websites with "The Last U.S. President".

Just because an evangelist is well known, does not mean they are correct.
The bible states that no one knows the time when Christ will return,
thus meaning that no one can predict the time that he will.
Benny Hinn is well known, and is considered a false prophet in the
Christian community.  For his strange /bizzare claims and prophecys.

George W. Bush is an excelent president, guided by his sytrong
Christian faith/morals.  I'm sure he's going to be re-elected, But as
far as him being the last president, I can't say that he won't, But
chances are he won't be the last.  But there is absolutely no way for
anyone to know this either way.
