Lahaye also told Mike Huckabee last year that he “very definitely” believes that we are living in the end times. All this aside, he has recently come out in opposition to to Family Radio-head Harold Camping and his belief that the world will end tomorrow. Lahaye believes that the apocalypse cannot be predicted, citing the Bible and Camping’s previous prediction that 1994 was the year of the apocalypse.
