Bush Fortells Third Great Awakening - Prophecy?

Speaking more like someone with a prophet complex than a president, Bush harkened a Third Awakening of faith in the country. The first "awakenings" happened in the 18th century and brought with them waves of fanatic zealots including Jonathon Edwards, who preached the infamous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". Hell-fire and brimstone, in other words.

The second Great Awakening happened in the 1820’s and it saw the advent of the camp meeting and Restorationist movements.

Unfortunately for Bush, he is about 100 years too late; the Third Great Awakening was in he late 1800’s and has also been dubbed the Social Gospel or Missionary Movement.

Many scholars even note a Fourth Great Awakening with the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Bush is clearly preaching to his base, frantically campaigning in the Full Armor of God trying to save the November election for the Republicans. As a Christian, I find him a cheap imitation of a real prophet. He is the power that prophets speak truth to. Instead he seeks to create a false reality with lies and deceit.
