Huckabee is a Christian Zionist.

I'm sure he sees the death and displacement of millions as a small price to pay to bring about the Rapture in his lifetime.

This is commonly misconstrued as christianity, but in christian tradition it would bring about the coming of the antichrist, massive persecutions globally, and armageddon.

  • Christians are ok with that, because they think they'll have been raptured already.

    • Pre-tribulation rapture is a 19th century invention by John Nelson Darby that most Christians worldwide have never held. The entire Orthodox and Catholic traditions reject it. Treating it as 'what Christians believe' is like treating Mormonism as mainstream Islam. It tells you more about the speaker's ignorance of the subject than about the subject itself.
