Irvin Baxter, Jr.
Irvin Baxter Jr. is an American Oneness Pentecostal minister who is the founder and president of Endtime Ministries, a Christian organization devoted to presenting his views on Christian eschatology.

Life
According to his website, Baxter became intensely interested in Bible prophecy at the age of 19, when a visiting evangelist taught that the four beasts of chapter four in the book of Revelation were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He believed this was incorrect, and in the next thirty days read the book of Revelation nineteen times. His studies led him to devote considerable time to study Pentecostal and Evangelical eschatology.
In 1986 Baxter authored A Message for the President, in which he identified Russia, the United Kingdom, United States and other modern countries as being mentioned in the Bible. He also said that the Berlin Wall would be torn down, Germany would be reunited, and that these events would be the catalyst which would inaugurate a permanent New World Order. In 1991 his organization began to publish Endtime Magazine. Baxter published the book Mideast Treaty in 1994 about his predictions for the prophesied final seven years preceding the Battle of Armageddon. In 1995 Baxter published a series of lessons for aimed at lay readers titles Understanding the Endtime.
Irvin Baxter Jr. has published two works of fiction: China War and the Third Temple (2001) depicts Baxter’s view of the near future, and Dark Intentions (2004) which is a story of how the Antichrist, as a young boy, foresaw world events in detail and used the knowledge to his advantage.
Although Baxter as a Oneness Pentecostal does not believe in the Trinity, he nonetheless has a program on Trinity Broadcasting Network. [1]
Baxter hosts the National Prophecy radio talk show called "Politics and Religion", which began in 1998. He also conducts one-day prophecy conferences in the United States.
