WORLD - As Great Britain voted in favor of a motion to leave the European Union, premillenial dispensationalists around the world held emergency meetings Friday morning, frantically adjusting their prophetic charts to include the completely unanticipated new development.

"We're thinking of calling this one 'The Brexit Dispensation,'" Tim LaHaye told reporters as he hastily altered his precise wall charts to account for the new information. "We had previously thought that Saddam Hussein would be the one to usher in the one-world government, but that's looking less likely now, so we're going to make some official adjustments." LaHaye added that the European Union might not be ushering in an age of one-world government after all, unfortunately.

Meanwhile in California, prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah of Shadow Mountain Community Church reportedly made an emergency early-morning phone call to Texas pastor John Hagee. "John, have you seen the news? This isn't in any of the tables!" he is said to have screamed into the phone. After calming Jeremiah down, Hagee reportedly consulted a series of lunar charts taped across his bedroom walls and surmised that the Brexit decision had actually been accurately predicted by Halley's Comet in 1986, before proceeding to scribble some corrections on his favorite eschatological timeline in red marker.

"We totally missed it!" Hagee told reporters as he explained his new chart at a Friday afternoon press conference. "It just goes to show when you're not extremely careful about building your theology around current events and astrological signs, even the experts can make a mistake."

Hagee further stated that he would have an exhaustive new book covering these developments released within a few months, tentatively titled Brexit: Dispensation of Doom.
