Christian con man Rick Joyner has claimed for a while now that God gave him a “prophecy” about an inevitable second civil war in the United States and he told Jim Bakker that now is the time for Christians to form their own militias in preparation for that war. If they don’t, he says, others will do it.





“The Second Amendment is linked to militias,” Joyner said. “We were meant to have militias throughout the country to defend our communities … I think there is going to be a militia movement that unites and supports and is open about what they are doing and they are going to be trained and prepared to defend their communities.”

“If Christians don’t get involved in things like that, [the] wrong people will get in,” he added. “Christians need to get in to set the course. We’re not just going to attack other races; we’re here to defend and support. Christians have to get engaged in it. Jesus himself said, ‘There is a time to sell your coat and buy a sword.’ That was the weapon of their day.”

“We are entering a time for war and we need to mobilize,” Joyner declared.
