One of the most ridiculous things I've heard the skeptics say today is that Jesus never claimed to be God. Folks, that is absolutely untrue. All through the Scriptures, he made assertions that can only be attributed to God. For example, in the fifth chapter of John, which is one of my favorite chapters in the whole bible, it makes it clear that Jesus alienated the religious leaders of his day by healing a man on the Sabbath day. And in verse 18 it says, therefore, the Jews sought all the more to kill him.

He then snickered and referred sarcastically to the Jews as "nice, friendly people."

And in another appearance on TBN in October (the same program on which LaHaye predicted God could bring us a Huckabee presidency), LaHaye ruminated on whether America would stay out of what he believes to be a biblically-prophesied conflict between a Russian-led Arab army and Israel. "If we have a change of administration," he said, "the liberals are very socialistically-minded, and they're more interested in setting up a world government than they are in protecting our own country. And so I can see them giving the opposition everything they want."

But regardless of what America does, LaHaye believes God will ultimately vanquish the Russian-Arab army. What's left of the Islamic world will "be in shock," said LaHaye, adding that "there won't be any atheists in the world" either.
