Glenn Beck traveling to Israel for his Sermon on the Mount
Last year, Glenn Beck has a pretty successful “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington DC, and as a follow-up, the new messiah of the right wing airwaves is planning a “Restoring Courage” rally in Israel in August of this year. Be prepared for self-righteous messianic hyperbole and craziness of biblical proportions.
Beck went to Israel and Jerusalem last week. He warned his listeners on Monday that he thinks disaster is imminent for Israel, because of a “two state solution that cuts off Jerusalem” from the world.
“God is involved in man’s affairs, but so is the force of darkness,” Beck continued ominously. “I believe I’ve been asked to stand in Jerusalem. Many in the history of man have had the opportunity to stand with the Jewish people…and they have failed.” He asked listeners to “stand with me, in Jerusalem” in August.
Beck candidly admitted that he didn’t know how many people would show up, or how much the event would cost. But he called the rally a “life altering event” and warned that the “very gates of hell” would fight his attempts to hold the rally.
