Tell A Friend...
Wherein we meet Henry Whitmore, the Evangelical End Times prophecy fanatic
[[Chapter 2]]
In the waiting area beneath the stage it was cramped and hot. [[Henry]] dabbed his forehead for at least the tenth time and frowned at all the makeup which clung to the cloth. Why is he unaffected by the heat? Then [[Henry]] noticed the custom tailored, ultra-light-weight silk suit the pastor wore.
“What’s with all the fire and brimstone [[Henry]]? ‘[[Tribulation]]’ this, ‘[[Armageddon]]’ that—The [[Number Of The Beast]], The [[7 Seals]], The Rule Of The [[Antichrist]], persecution of Christians…you’re scaring people. No one wants to hear that stuff.”
The wasn’t the first time [[Henry]]’d been lectured by a fellow evangelist, it wouldn’t be the last.
“It’s in the Scripture, Ken.” He had to yell to be heard over the twenty-thousand watts worth of speakers blaring praise and worship music to the packed auditorium.
Ken, not surprisingly, wasn’t satisfied. “Well it’s all a matter of interpretation, isn’t it? You’ve got your version, but far more people believe the alternative, am I right?”
“All the more reason I need to preach the truth,” [[Henry]] said without looking up.
The theological ‘alternative’ [[Pastor Kenneth Worley]] was referring to had caught on like shopping for groceries at Wal-Mart. The [[Pre-Tribulation]] crowd were fellow Christians who believed the [[Rapture Of The Church]] would happen before The Great Tribulation. Wishful thinking in [[Henry]]’s exhaustively studied opinion. Worse (but harder to prove), wishful thinking propagated by stadium-fillers like Worley.
