The fine print
Paraphrase of the Los Angeles Times summary: 'when Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands at the White House on Sept. 13, 1993, they began a seven-year tribulation that will end this Sept. 13 and bring about the end of the world.' The Times asked a religion professor, Charles Kimball of Wake Forest, who replied: 'Obviously, [Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin] are not in the Bible.'
