On Thursday, Pastor Greg Laurie talked about the Biblical end times, apocalypse, and other prophecies during his sermon at the Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in California. Taking the message written in Revelation 6-19 in the Bible, he warned the church that the worst events are still to come, The Christian Post relays.
"We are living in the last days and, yes, the worst is yet to come,” said Laurie.
Antichrist. Armageddon. The great tribulation period. The four horsemen of the apocalypse.”
In Laurie’s message titled “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” he said the world
is inching closer to a nuclear Armageddon. Comparing the upcoming situation to Noah’s time, he said the event will be marked by a lot of violence.
Talking about the great tribulation, Laurie explained that the first of the seven sealed judgments that will come upon the world is the four horsemen of the apocalypse. While an alliance between Russia and Iran seemed impossible a century or even 30 years ago, it has not come to pass.
Pastor Laurie quoted Ezekiel 37:38, which talks about a “large force” from Israel’s north called Magog which will attack Israel. Magog refers to Russia. One of its allies is Persia, the old name for Iran. He emphasized that this prediction is now taking place, and Christians should know that this occurrence is one of the signs of the end times.
In 1983, prominent evangelist Billy Graham wrote a book titled “Approaching Hoofbeats: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” Quoting Graham, Laurie said the hoofbeats of those horsemen could already be heard during the present time. And if Graham already heard the hoofbeats at that time, then the sound could now be very loud right now.
Towards the end of his message, Pastor Greg Laurie said the God’s Judgment is now starting to unfold, and the great tribulation orchestrated by the Antichrist is also about to come.
