President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

Three months ago, Huckabee had a guest on his TV show, "Huckabee Today," who said the world will end any minute now. “I do believe that we’re not just at the end times,” the guest, Max Lucado, said. “We're at the end of the end times. It's moving fast.” Like Huckabee, Lucado is a preacher. And both agree the end of days is not something to panic over.

“Max, when you say that, it scares a lot of people,” Huckabee said. “They think 'oh no, the end of the world its just terrible.' You say... it's not something we should be afraid of. It's something we should embrace and look forward to.”
