End Times Prophecy Expert Skewers CNN Over 'Apocalyptic Religious Myths' Blunder

A head-turning CNN analysis article warning that "prophecy, not politics, may also shape America’s clash with Iran" was published this week, seemingly taking aim at evangelicals who believe in various end times theological constructs. From the Rapture – the notion Christians will be taken up to heaven before or during the Tribulation period — to positions on Israel, the piece in question struck some critics as strange, incomplete, and even leading. Most notably, the article provided voices critical of these theological ideals, while offering no voices who endorse or believe in the ideals being derided. Author and prophecy expert Todd Hampson, who is one such voice, told CBN News the article, in his view, was "not journalism" and an attempt to diminish Christian ideals surrounding eschatology. "It really is a very caricatured view of biblical Christianity on many levels," Hampson said. "It's just not fair, not balanced, not accurate, and not journalism."
