Jack Van Impe advising Bush?

Archive: Cheap Laughs

When I was a forced to attend the Bible Baptist Church of Savannah, GA I saw Jack Van Impe. My father became a big fan and once made me listen to one of his nutty records (how Russia was the Gog & Magog of the book of Revelation).

Jeannette Walls on MSNBC reports:

“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.”

Van Impe must be the one child left behind by the Bush Education plan.

You need help. Jack VanImpe is very well read on scripture and yes….the end is near. Liberals are like the work horses pulling the American carriage over a cliff.

How can any thinking person read the prophecies of the Bible and deny that our present age is coming to an end? Take the time and educate yourself. Jesus is Lord!!!

Has Dr. Jack been in the news of late? Why are all these people commenting on the sad, wacky, demented TV preacher?

Jack van impe is not teaching the word of Jesus. Jesus' tried to teach us all to believe in ourselves and accept that no matter how many questions you ask you will never find a definate answer. Many people have had the same vision through the years, Jesus just knew that the only way to convince the most of His people was to live life giving away everything he had to mankind, and finally fulfilling the profecy and die for mankind. Jesus knew in his heart that the only way mankind would believe in him was to die for them and that only after he was gone would the strongest in their faith let in his word.
Didn't jesus try to teach us all to give everything we had to our brothers in mankind without gaining profit for it, material things, knowledge and even our own beliefs. That money is the root of all evil. If jack actually believed the word of jesus how can he sell his knowledge of It for profit.

Jack,

I came to a meeting you held in Springfield, Mo. when I was only 14 or 15 years old. I am now 45. I still listen to you and try to understand the signs of the times. What I totally believe is that you believe what you say. Don't ever let these negetive people keep you from telling what you believe. They are afraid you are right. I marvel at your memory of the scriptures. I might even be guity of envey. I know alot about what the Bible says, but I have a hard time remembering where the scripture is. Oh, I can find it. I just have to have an audience that is compelled to wait on me. God bless you and your wife. I hold noone but Jesus in HIGH regard but I do trust that you believe what you are preaching. Preach on. I'm listening.

The Lord Jesus has been very gracious,i say once again very gracious.Those people who attack chosen servants of the lord shall themselves be attacked by their own words.People often attack and dismiss what they often don`t under stand or even fear.The lower ranking demons,spirits,fallen angels call them what you want,are here on this earth and can appear to be human,some are high ranking in satans army,so be careful before you judge a messenger of Christ Jesus the Messiah.

What does Jack of the “Impe” family say? He says what JC said “deceivers” would say in Lk 21:8. What's an Imp + e? Hello!
What does Hebrews 8:13 say of Jack? He belongs in a “wax” museum, and what he says is so “old” and “faulty” it's ready to vanish. And indeed such crap shall vanish (1Cor 13:8)… poof goes the dragon, for as Paul says in Phil 3:8, it's “dung”.
What does apostle Paul say of people like him? If any man be “ignorant”, let him.

Daniel:

In your first couple of paragraphs you've captured Dr. Jack perfectly.


23 · Posted by: Stephen on November 2, 2003 04:44 PM

I think Jack Van Impe is seriously deranged if he thinks he can fool people into beleiving what he says. He gives out bible verses with chapter and verse number without reading it on air. I've looked up some of them and they don't match or go along with what he says. I think he just makes money from dummys who think they are doing the right thing by ordering his latest tape or buying his latest object. By the way they all sell something now. Like a book or VITAMINS , they need money so badly it seems.

Isn't this one of “Satan's Imps”?

What's in a name, folks?

Stephen:

I grew up seeing him in revival and watched him and the 'lovely' Rexella on TV. Dr. Jack is quite sincere and deranged. Having already fooled himself he isn't trying to fool anybody else.

Are we little gods? Wasn't that satans sales pitch? Gods of choice. Doesn't choice require judgement? Can all the little gods live together in self judgement? Do you chose to judge or judge to chose? Can you hear your own spirit? Has the songs of the little gods made you deaf? Have you ever seen the love in the eyes that don't judge?
Are you blinded by the eyes that love judgement? Did you chose to read this so you could pass judgement on it or is your spirit seeking something? You be the judge.


27 · Posted by: chris on November 5, 2003 03:24 PM

Jack Van Impe is doing a great work! I'm glad God made you to where worldly people won't get you down. Everytime I get mad at someone, I then try to give them the respect of a fellow ruler through Christ.

I often wonder why is Satan burdening the US with the UN and other world organizations. Satan knows he'll have his chance at ruling the world after the Rapture. Why continue now when this end time is so close? The liberals, with Satan, can have the earth for a time. Then it won't be worth living in it then, unless you're on assignment from God.

I have yet to find a contradiction to the comments of Jack Van Impe. His view points are interesting to investigate and watch, in my opinion. I am not experienced enough in the Word to say whether he is wrong or right. But I aim to find out because I do know and believe in my heart that “Jesus Christ Is Lord”.


31 · Posted by: from the right on December 8, 2003 03:44 AM

I'm fascinated by prophecy. Jack Van Impe has the best material to work with. Attacking the man just because you disagree with what he says shows how intellectually dishonest, bitter, petty, and self-centered you are. Be a “happy gay atheist” if you want, but remember that Dr. Van Impe has the same freedom of speech that you and I do. You say you're happy, but clearly you are not. Common sense tells me that people who are happy don't go out of their way to put others down. Oh, and for someone who claims to be opposed to hatred, you're sure displaying a lot of it on your board. Oh, I almost forgot: you're also hypocritical.


32 · Posted by: Dr. Theology on December 8, 2003 05:54 AM

I don't see Richard expressing any hatred. But I see you doing so.

Nor has Richard suggested that Van Impe's freedom of speech be limited.

You are just babbling.


33 · Posted by: Richard on December 8, 2003 06:24 AM

Dear “from the right”

I've never expressed hatred of Dr. Jack. I think he is funny. In a reply to an earlier comment I stated that I think he is sincere.

If people didn't enjoy laughing at people they find funny Rush Limbaugh and Al Franken wouldn't have audiences.

I don't see anyone's freedom of speech being threatened here. I'm pretty (lower case) libertarian. This isn't a 'board.' It is an individual's personal weblog. There are at least a thousand comments on my website that I strongly disagree with. I rarely delete comments unless they are too rude or an attempt to sell a product.

When I was growing up from the right meant men like Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley, Jr.


34 · Posted by: Crimson on December 9, 2003 03:43 PM

Jack is only teaching his views of the bible. You can choose not to believe them if you want, however I would like for you to note a fact about Jack - HE IS WELL VERSED IN THAT BIBLE. So his views on the bible are more credible than someone who just speaks without substance backing it up.

Jesus is Lord and a Good Lord - You can thank Him for the FREEDOMS that are still available to you!

I hope you change your hearts before you are in front of the JUDGEMENT throne of Christ!

Later -

UNTIL THEN - JESUS LOVES YOU ANYWAY!

I have read several of the postings and I can understand how some of you may feel but you others who do nothing but negative feed-back, please step back and listen to yourself. I understand a lot of you don't believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, I am not going to argue with you, the way I see it, if you argue, you are giving in to Satan's plan. All I can say is, “I believe in my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.” I know he died for me. But I also know he died for each and every one of you who mock him, put him down, or flat out call him a liar or a fake. Now granted there are multiply denominations and religions in the world, but the fact of the matter is simply this, “Only God” stands as the creator, therefore he is in charge. If you want to make your idiological comments about Jesus, you “WILL” have to look him in the eye one day and give an account. Jesus died for you and will save you, just ask him.

Now to those of you who think Jack is a bad boy for asking money for his ministry and offers, “HELLO”, the man has to eat. How do you think he puts capital together (Capital is money for those of you who don't know) in order to make these tapes available. Think about what you say before you say it people. He can't just make all the tapes and pay for it himself, do you think walmart is just going to give him the materials to make the tapes. Please don't be so stupid in your comments about other people. How would you like it if you were doing a good deed and some ignorant person did nothing but say you are bad. Jack is doing the work that Jesus would have him to do, you just leave him alone and let him be, otherwise you “WILL” anwser to Jesus. Act tough all you want, in the end, you will be the baby. That goes to the jerk who calls us born again babies. I a man buddy boy, and real men love Jesus.

Jack Van Impe is doing a great work. He's putting people off Christ in their thousands. I suppose the recent earthquake in Iran is “Right there in the book of Daniel” Like the new ferrari is “Right there in the book of Ezekiel” This will follow a massive war between The axis of Evil minus Iraq and the US and her ally Isreal, millions of people will die, Nuclear assaults will be world wide and then Jesus will come back and run for president on the republican ticket.

Yeah right! another message of hope!

It's not what he makes Christians look like that bothers me it's what he makes Jesus look like

Regards, Kevin

I'M SOOR TO READ SOME OF THESE LETTERS AND SEE THAT A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. THEYS SAY JACKS CRAZY BUT HAVE NEVER PICKED UP A BIBLE OR READ MORE THAN 1 BOOK IN THE WORD. I KNOW ALOT OF WAHTS JACK SAYS SOUNDS CRAZY AND IF I HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OR BACK ROUND OF THE BIBLE I WOULD CALL JACK NAMES TOO.. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE READ AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU JUST SAY THIS IS CRAZY AND NOT FOR ME.
IN PSALM 14-1 SAYS A FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD”

If GW is following Van Impe, then Armageddon will be sure to happen, as the fear this man (Van Impe) spreads will cause others to create the fairytales inadvertently…


41 · Posted by: Christian Advocate on January 13, 2004 07:34 PM

First I will explain how I found this website. I am a fan of Dr. Jack Van Impe and I typed his name in on one of the search engines and I found this particular website. First let me say to those who have never heard Van Impe speak, read any of his writings, or watched any of his teaching videos that you are entitled to your opinion but it really has no validation. I have opinions on things I understand, what I know about. Second of all, if you are not a person who reads and studies the Bible (there is a difference in the two) then how do you know what Van Impe says is real or not. That is almost like me hearing someone say that Einstein created the theory of relativity and just because I don't like Einstein I said it was false. That sounds a little ridiculous. So to hear Van Impe and say that his thoughts make no sense but don't read the Bible he is trying to interpret makes no sense to me. Therefore I encourage everyone to read the Bible. Lastly I have something for “Richard” who is the creator of this website. You say that hatred is not excepted on this site, but in a way neither is love. I'm sure you have received messages from people who disguise themselves as Christians who act hateful or unchristian to you, and for that I apologize on their behalf. However, those who mention Jesus Christ to you are showing what the Bible calls an act of love. We in our faith in Christ are actually demonstrating love towards you. So “attempts to save your soul” should not bore you, but make you feel loved. I don't blame you for wanting to keep hatred out, but don't push love out. If not for love, then what do you have?

With the mix of theoretical physics and Dr. Jack's entertaining way of reading the Bible I think this entry has provided as much amusement as can ever be expected.
