Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
PHILLIPS: Do you think they’re taking what you’re saying and incorporating it into foreign policy?
ROSENBERG: I wouldn’t go that far. But I would say—I would say that Bible prophecy is an intercept from the mind of God. It’s actually fairly remarkable intelligence, and that’s why my novels keep coming true, because mine are on this side of the Rapture, leading up to Jerry and Tim’s books, but they suggest events that the Bible does lay out that will get us closer to those events. And, in fact, one by one in The Last Jihad, my book The Last Days, The Ezekiel Option, and now The Copper Scroll, have this feeling of coming true. I think that’s why a million copies have sold. They’re New York Times best-sellers, because they’re based on Bible prophecy, and they are coming true bit by bit, day by day.
PHILLIPS: Joel, do I need to start taking care of unfinished business and telling people that I love them and I’m sorry for all the evil things I’ve done?
ROSENBERG: Well, I think that would be a good start. I mean, Jesus loves the people of the Middle East. Matthew 15—Jesus was in southern Lebanon. Why? Telling the people of Lebanon that he loved them, that God loved them.

How timely—I was just reading Going to See The Beast. [Link redacted.]
Closing with Eliot is a bit overdone, don’t you think, Kip? Really, you could find something more obscure.
Also: I love eschatologicals, they’ve been looking silly for centuries!
@ Dylan, eschatologicals with nukes are not funny.
