"Very very close to the second coming" again.

[Foxaèr]

For those wondering how America fares in the End Times, Greg Laurie – known worldwide for his Harvest Crusade outreaches and concerts – says the U.S. has already begun its descent from superpower status and world prominence, as he contends the last days are already among us.

The 61-year-old global evangelist made it very clear that he believes that we are "very, very close" to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, when He will rapture the Church, both alive and dead, leaving behind unbelievers to experience the "Great Tribulation." This seven-year period is believed by premillennialist Christians as ushering in the antichrist and a new one world order government, under which Laurie says the Bible doesn't mention the United States as a key player.

Oh goodie, the second coming won't come as predicted for the umpteenth time. Perhaps the problem is that there wasn't a first coming?

I think I'd start spelling god with a capital "G" more often if they learned how to quit using a capital "H" to spell "he".

Another fuckwit. He should recall what happened to Camping.

The Bible doesn't mention the USA at all, what is this fucker on?

I'm with you. That might be the single most annoying thing they do. I'd rather them threaten me with hell every five minutes.

The bible is as shitty a geography book as it is a science book.

[Nope]

Laurie insists that events leading up to the End Times are clearly laid out in the Bible and that many have already passed, including the return of Israel as a nation in 1948 (some 2,000 years after its people were scattered in the New Testament), the proliferation of Islamic jihad, Russia's alignment with Iran and the escalation and acceptance of immoral behavior worldwide (abortion, homosexuality, fornication, etc.).

Interesting that the Black Death, which killed so many, wasn't enough to bring about Jesus' return but adult people engaging in consensual sex is enough to make him destroy the world.

Laurie responds why the US is not going to be involved in the end times:

but the version I prefer the most is we would have the Rapture and so many Americans would be taken to heaven that that would be the explanation for our demise as a nation," Laurie shared, referring to the event when all believing Christians, dead and alive, are "caught up" in the air from the earth to be with Christ, as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

Christ loves the US more then the rest of you.

How many "second comings" can we have and still call it a "second coming".

Thanks for the news on Greg.
Glad to see he is hanging in there.
