Condoleeza Rice commented in a press conference (with an AME Zion church leader):

Rice, the Bush administration's chief defender against charges that the government's sluggish response showed racial insensitivity, later echoed the call for patience.
''The Lord is going to come on time - if we just wait,'' she said.

Very few people outside the evangelical or dominionist community realise it, but that is dominionist code-speak. Let me explain...

The reason I call it as potential codespeak:

In dominionist churches that practice "deliverance ministry" and "kingdom now" theology, one of the things that is constantly preached to people (along with stuff along the lines of "take back the country from the demons" and "give us your money") is that the "born-again" folks will be raptured up to heaven before the proverbial shite hits the fan during the Tribulation.

Very often, they are even told that they will get a ringside seat to seeing the rest of us suffer (yes, *literally* told this).

Much of the time, efforts to actually improve the lot of families are dismissed with the answer "Jesus is coming back soon" (along with environmental action, provision for their children's education, and damn near everything else; I grew up borderline poor as a direct result of this; you are not taught of ANY longterm planning that does not involve "taking dominion" of the country because "Jesus is coming back soon"...and now you know where the poor planning of the government comes from both in "emergency mismanagement" and in financial planning for the US; it's literally seen as not important because in their eyes they are going to be raptured Any Minute Now). All that counts is getting more warm bodies into the church to be "saved" and "taking dominion" until that time.

To dominionists, Condi is literally saying "Jesus is about to come back so don't worry about disaster relief efforts or the fact that refugees aren't getting such things as food or clean water". "Jesus is going to come soon so don't worry about the fact that you're starving or don't have your insulin."

For those who are interested (even in a morbid sense) in this sort of theology/mentality and how it is being used in our policy, one can actually hit a library or used bookstore and see the "Left Behind" novels--they are quite literally a fictionalised version of "deliverance ministry" premillenarian theology as practiced by the Assemblies of God and other dominionist denominations. This is, quite literally, what they think the world is going to BE like...but the dominionists and those who get suckered into dominionism will be "raptured up" and get to essentially have a good laugh at everyone else's expense. (If you go this route, don't buy the books, except second-hand. That way, the LaHayes don't get money to support a dominionist agenda)

For those wishing other methods of research, Wikipedia has an article on premillenialist theology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premillennialism

One example of another dominionist group pushing premillenialist dominionism:

(EDIT: Noted that the specific religious affiliation of the church is AME Zion, not AME proper. AME Zion is a decidedly more conservative denomination than the AME proper is)
