Does the presidential hopeful share the Adventist prediction that Washington and the Whore of Babylon will bring about the Second Coming of Christ?
Ben Carson’s church believes the United States government will bring about the End Times.
According to mainstream Seventh-day Adventist doctrine, the Second Coming of Christ will occur after the U.S. government teams up with the Catholic Church—which Adventists believe is the “Babylon” of the Book of Revelation, with the pope being the Antichrist—to compel Adventists and others to worship on Sunday, rather than Saturday.
That may seem like a small hook on which to hang the fate of the world, but for Adventists, it is a core belief, taught at “prophecy seminars” and elaborated in excruciating geopolitical detail by key Adventist leaders.
Is it awkward for Ben Carson to run for president, if his faith believes the U.S. government will team up with the Antichrist? Will it matter to his evangelical base if he, like his denomination, believes that the government will join forces with the Whore of Babylon, to persecute religious minorities and compel Sunday worship? So far, no.
In fact, the one time Carson was asked about the End Times, the media blew it. In an interview with conservative journalist Sharyl Atkisson, Carson first focused on the universal aspects of Adventist theology.
“I’m a Christian,” he said. “I belong to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. I believe in godly principles, of loving your fellow man, caring about your neighbor, developing your God-give talents to the utmost so you become valuable to the people around you.”
Pressed on his view about the End Times, Carson said, “You could guess that we are getting closer to that. You do have people who have a belief system that sees this apocalyptic phenomenon occurring, and that they’re a part of it, and who would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if they gain them.”
yeah the guy just recently said a Muslim should never be elected president in America so where's that love for his fellow man and neighbors???? the guy is a republican he's speaking to a White extreme view of all things not White and his not a danger demeanor and soft spoken rhetoric of hate sells it. to everyone i know Adventist were the ones you didn't answer the door for or if you did you quickly dismissed them.
these are their beliefs so why is Carson aligned with a party of hate racism and bigotry which he repeats from his own mouth????????????????????????????
evangelical while stomping onevery other religion don't seem to care so much about his religion wonder why is it low information and will they revolt once they find out more about it more important will Carson stick with the party platform nullifying and attacks on him and his religious persuasion?????????????????????
