From the article
" Aug. 13 — Is the Bush administration turning to a televangelist doomsayer for political predictions? Apocalyptic preacher Jack Van Impe is claiming that he was contacted by Condoleezza Rice’s office and the White House Office of Public Liaison for an “outline” of his take on world events.
‘[President Bush] will know exactly what is going to happen in the Middle East and what part he will have under the leading of the Holy Spirit of God.’
— JACK VAN IMPE
VAN IMPE is the author of such books as “Israel’s Final Holocaust” and “The Great Escape: Preparing for the Rapture, the Next Event on God’s Prophetic Clock.”
He has predicted that the end of the world will strike somewhere between 2003 and 2012 and one reviewer has called his TV preaching show with wife Rexella “a fantastically loopy apocalyptic take on the week’s news.”
The issue of the alleged involvement with the Bush administration came up on his Web site when someone asked Van Impe, “Do you think that President Bush, apparently a Christian man, believes and knows he is involved in prophetic events concerning the Middle East and final battle between good and evil?”
“I believe he is a wonderful man,” Van Impe responded, and goes on to say, “I was contacted a few weeks ago by the Office of Public Liaison for the White House and by the National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice to make an outline. And I’ve spent hours preparing it. I will release this information to the public in September, but it’s in his hands. He will know exactly what is going to happen in the Middle East and what part he will have under the leading of the Holy Spirit of God. So, it’s a tremendous time to be alive.” "

Not really. If Bush actually believed in Christianity on anything resembling a visceral level, his actions would be very different from what they are now. Going to Muslim services, for example. By most protestant standards that I know of, as well as Catholic and Orthodox ones, that's a big no-no. He did it anyway, because he balanced the need to appear as goody churchboy in the eyes of the right against the need to avoid animosity against the muslim community after 9/11, decided the latter was a greater concern for whatever reason, and did it. You cynic types have a number of basic pseudo-stereotypical tenets, but one that seems to be largely true is that idealism doesn't last long in politics, and neither does gullibility. If he invited Mr. Endtimes at all, it was probably a publicity stunt to salute america and apple pie and all the other whitebread values he stands for. Nothing new.

According to the Bible, as I interpret it anyway, when Jesus' followers asked him how they could tell if the "end time" was approaching, he didn't tell them, "don't worry", it'll be 2,000+ years in the future". He told them certain things would happen before their generation passed away. But that hasn't stopped virtually every generation of Christians since that time making dire predictions of the end time occuring in their lifetimes. And it would seem the "prophetic" parts of the NT dealing with Armageddon were about the seige of Megiddo...
