Jim Bakker: Talk of Climate Change Is an Effort to Pretend the End Times Aren’t Upon Us

On his television program today, End Times prepper pastor Jim Bakker claimed that the issue of climate change is nothing more than an attempt by the world to conceal the fact that God is unleashing his judgment upon earth as the return of Jesus Christ in the Last Days rapidly approaches.

“God’s judgment is coming, just as his word said it would come in the Last Days,” Bakker said. “Why is man so livid about global warming? Why? Why do you think people in America—do you know what? They want to have people arrested that don’t believe that global warming is what they are saying it is. Do you understand me. Wake up everybody.”

“I’ve studied global warming, and we’ve had periods of warming before,” he added. “God is going to send judgment, he already has, he’s already begun … Global warming is the world’s excuse that God wasn’t in the storm. I’m going to prove to you God’s in the storm, God’s in the rain, God’s in the wind, it’s God’s storm, it’s God’s wind, it’s God’s lightening.”
