Just curious. Have the Evangelicals declared that this is the end, or something

[question everything]

Especially with Lent, etc.?

1. "Lent" is not an Evangelical thing

Lately, some have been paying some sort of homage to it, but in general it is the sort of ritual observance which Evangelicals tend to expressly reject as an outward expression of "good works" or earning salvation.

2. Ah,

Lent is a Catholic celebration before Easter.

However, the Evangelicals are the end if they keep it up. Barr's speech gave that away, IMHO. They are easily deceived because they only believe, is the way I would put it. They have a lot of wolves and foxes leading the herd and they are eating conspiracy theories now like candy. It's a shoe-in as far as propaganda and getting their cooperation is concerned.

3. I don't know. The evangelicals seem to support tRUMP because they're sure he can

deliver The End to them. I agree that tRUMP Will deliver The End to all of us unless we can stop him.

4. Although they have claimed the end times over and over

for a thousand years, even two thousand, they seem to have more ammunition right now to make their dream come true.

5. Lent represents the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert

before he was arrested, tried, etc. It's not specifically an Evangelical thing. I'm Episcopalian and we have Lent as part of our church calendar. For parishioners, it is a time for reflection, self-discipline, prayer, and preparation for Easter.

But the Evangelicals are definitely hoping for the End Times and The Rapture. I figure if the Rapture happens, then maybe they can all go "up" somewhere and leave the rest of us alone and in peace.

6. No, that would be the media.
