Greg Laurie on End Times Prophecy, North Korea Nuclear Threat: 'I Pray America Is Not Destroyed'



Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, has spoken out about the threat of nuclear war between the United States and North Korea, and analyzed how it all fits into End Times prophecy in the Bible.
"As you know, the conflict with this rogue nation has escalated dramatically in recent days and even hours," Laurie said in a Facebook video on Monday, referring to the hostile rhetoric of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Laurie argued that Kim's threat to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons "can't be dismissed or taken lightly."
"How does this fit into the prophetic puzzle? Well, in the last days there is no mention of any nation that would resemble North Korea," the megachurch pastor offered, but said that Iran, which is present in the End Times scenario, could potentially acquire weapons from North Korea.
"Here is what concerns me. We do not find the reigning superpower on the face of the Earth anywhere in the Last Days scenario. Other nations emerge. So where is America? I pray we are not out of the picture, because we have been in some kind of nuclear conflict," Laurie added.
He urged Americans to pray for Trump, whether they voted for him or not.
The pastor looked at Timothy Chapter 2 in the Bible, which reads: "Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."
The passage continues: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Laurie noted that he will be involved in several White House initiatives surrounding the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, and said that Christians in America should be proclaiming Christ's message.
He called on believers to be praying for the nation, so that God can give wisdom to its leaders and protect its military.
"That God helps us to make the right decisions in the days and the hour ahead," he added.
Laurie has spoken out about the last book of the Bible, Revelation, on a number of occasions in the past year, and said that people will face a final judgment following death.
"The only reliable account of afterlife is the Bible," and not people who have described their alleged out-of-body experiences in various books, he said in December.
"Who will be there in the second death? "All those who have rejected God's offer of forgiveness," Laurie said, adding, "Notice, I didn't say bad people."
Roman Catholic Church leader Pope Francis also spoke out about his concerns over a possible nuclear conflict with North Korea.
"It's piecemeal but the pieces are getting larger, and are concentrated in places which were already hot," Francis told reporters over the weekend.
"Today a wider war would destroy, I won't say half of humanity, but a large part of humanity and culture. It would be terrible. I don't think humanity today could bear it," he added.

GOD MOVE WHEN YOU MOVE

GOD MOVE WHEN YOU MOVE When you act upon God’s word, then you will see results. God word is in two faces- the rhema and the logos. Rhema is the reveal word of God to a person-the instant, personal speaking of God to us and Logos is the written word of God-the bible. These are the method God speak to His children! Understanding this and acting upon them accordingly guarantee our flight. God only move in response to our scriptural moves. When we are not making move, it's impossible to move God. God can't reach us until we respond in faith. We can't sit down making no move and expect God to perform magic. It's your move that move God. Faith is not mere confession, but a great profession. Is not what you say but what you do. It always demands a move. Always doing what God says. Abraham was justified by what he did and not what he says. Faith is an action word. Is not just saying what God says but doing what God says. Faith is the proof of wha...

A Prayer Meeting that Lasted 100 Years

F ACT: The Moravian Community of Herrnhut in Saxony, in 1727, commenced a round-the-clock “prayer watch” that continued nonstop for over a hundred years. FACT:  By 1791, 65 years after commencement of that prayer vigil, the small Moravian community had sent 300 missionaries to the ends of the earth. Could it be that there is some relationship between those two facts? Is fervent intercession a basic component in world evangelization? The answer to both questions is surely an unqualified “yes.” That heroic eighteenth-century evangelization thrust of the Moravians has not received the attention it deserves. But even less heralded than their missionary exploits is that  hundred-year prayer meeting  that sustained the fires of evangelism. During its first five years of existence the Herrnhut settlement showed few signs of spiritual power. By the beginning of 1727 the community of about three hundred people was wracked by dissension and bickering. An unlikely...

The True Grace of God by Zac Poonen

False grace” is not a 21st-century phenomenon. It was being preached even in the days of the apostles. Jude speaks of “some godless people who had slipped in unnoticed among the churches, and who had distorted the message of the grace of God in order to excuse their immoral ways” and who were teaching “that after we become Christians we can do just as we like without fear of God's punishment” (Jude 4 - Today’s English Version and Living Bible). So Peter was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write a whole letter explaining what the true grace of God was (1 Peter). At the end of that letter, he says, “I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Pet.5:12). So, if we study Peter’s first letter, we can understand what true grace is. Check yourself and see whether you have the true grace of God: The Holy Spirit says that the true grace of God: - Will make you live in obedience to God’s Word – and not according to the...
