Isaiah predicted that one!
Jerry Falwell has no power (nor does anyone else) to effect the consummation of prophecy. God is sovereign and will do what HE wishes. Jerusalem will not be completely destroyed. The Bible teaches in Revelation 12 that somewhere in the middle of the TRIBULATION, Satan will declare war on Jerusalem. He will effect it through the Anti-Christ. The Bible states that only part of it will be destroyed and pillaged. It also states that when all appears hopeless for the Jews, Jesus will return.
All during that time, no member of the bride of Christ will be left upon the earth. It will be a terrible time that I would wish on no one
Pay no attention to what ANY preacher says (myself included) unless they can back up what they say with scripture.

That is not the problem. The problem is not with religion. The problem is that Falwell has undue influence over George W. Bush. Right now, George W. Bush is on the verge of declaring war, even tough a majority of Americans are against war. Why? Because Jerry Falwell is telling him to do so.
Why is Jerry Falwell telling George W. Bush to start a war?? Because, according to the Bible and the Book of Revelations chapters 17-21, in order for the Second Coming of Christ to occur several things must happen. First, the Jews must return to Jerusalem. That has already happened. Next, there must be a major battle known as the BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. In this battle, Jerusalem will be destroyed. However, from the ruins a new Jerusalem will arise and all the remaining Jews who were not killed in the Battle of Armageddon will convert to Christianity and then will be called up in the Rapture to Heaven.
Go back to reading your Bible. I have just been reading it for the past few hours.
Jerry Falwell considers the attack on the World Trade Center to be the first of a series of disasters which must happen before the Second Coming of Christ. This is the reason why Falwell said, after the attack on the World Trade Center, that the attack was "God's punishment".
So, Jerry Falwell wants the USA to attack Iraq in fulfillment of a prophesy contained in the Book of Revelations. The Hindus and the Muslims over India read the Bible too and they know this. Don't think that they do not know what the Bible says. It is you heathens who do not know. That is why the Muslims are rioting and people are being killed over in India even as I type this, and rightly so.
