Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted some of America’s most prominent evangelical leaders to raise a provocative question
— asking if the world is now in the biblically prophesied “end of days” that might culminate with the apocalypse and the second coming of Christ.Megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress,at First Baptist Dallas, said many Christians are wondering, in the face of carnage in Ukraine,"Why does God permit evil like this to continue? …. Are we near Armageddon and the end of the world?"
“It’s all there,” added Robertson, referring to Ezekiel. “And God is getting ready to do something amazing and that will be fulfilled.” Predictions of an imminent “end of days” have surfaced with regularity over the centuries. Pat Robertson, for example, has inaccurately predicted apocalyptic events on previous occasions.
"This evangelical insistence of involving the sovereignty of God in the evil of Putin borders on the absurd," Kennedy wrote recently in“Rapture believers fail to understand that if they assist in bringing about world war, there will be no Superman Jesus appearing to ‘snatch’ all true believers into the safety of the clouds,” Kennedy wrote. “The rapture is an illusion; the rupture caused by Putin is a deadly reality.
“It’s very rare for me to find someone under the age of 50” preoccupied with such views today, Moore said. "My message for Christians during this time and really all people in general is don’t panic, but pray," Laurie advised. “Live every day like it may be your last.”
