Jim Bakker dedicated most of his television program yesterday to pitching his latest line of survival food buckets, warning that opposition to President Trump is a sign that the End Times is rapidly approaching and that humanity will face “a hellish 42 months on planet Earth” when it arrives. Those who have prepared, he said, will be able to resist having to sell their souls to the Antichrist for food.

“The news is crazy,” Bakker said. “Evil, evil, evil. And how they’re trying to destroy the president and his family, God is speaking to me about it. What He is saying is He is going to send judgment and He’s going to judge some people.”

“There is coming a time when the Bible says there will be no food to eat,” he warned. “And if you do get any food, you have to sign over to the Antichrist; that means you’ve sold your soul to the devil. You say it’ll never be that evil. What’s going on right now? Half of America hates Jesus Christ. Half of America wants to destroy the president because he’s standing up to save babies, that he stands up for religious freedom and they’re making him out as the Antichrist, as an evil person!

“It’s time to be prepared because there’s coming a time when it will be too late to get ready and that’s going to be a hellish 42 months on planet Earth,” Bakker said. “The only thing that you are going to want when these times come is going to food to eat and that’s why we’ve spent our ministry, for the last years, putting together this food for survival.”
