The September Doomsday Bust: 'Prophets' Blow Claims About Series Of CalamitiesSubmitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 10/1/2015 2:35 pm
For much of this year, right-wing pundits such as Glenn Beck and Pat Robertson were swept up in an End Times frenzy largely created by author and messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, who claimed that an extremely disastrous event would happen in the U.S. during the month of September, more specifically, around September 13, as a sign of Gods judgment on America. This is down to the day, the hour, he told Robertson of his prophecy.
When Robertson recently asked Cahn who devised his prophecy by linking together Jewish holidays, the appearance of blood moons and the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage why no tremendous and horrible event had occurred in the country on the much-heralded doomsday date, he insisted that the August 18 stock market selloff came close enough, and that a minor earthquake off the Mexican coast was also a sign that God is punishing the U.S. Cahn then claimed that if something anything bad happens between now and September of next year, that will prove that his prophecy was right all along!

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ...

It works and that's how it should remain. Any of these false prophets that claims the founders of the USA wanted to set up a "Christian nation" are outrageous liars.
Jeez Washington, Jefferson and Adams must be spinning in their graves with the total BS being said about them in these idiot days!
