Billy Graham: 'Final call' for America to repent

Post #1

Post by puddleglum »

Believing God will allow him to live to 95, famed evangelist Billy Graham is making his “final call to America to turn to God.�

Timed to coincide with his 95th birthday, Graham is calling people in the United States and Canada to repentance as part of the “My Hope with Billy Graham� evangelistic outreach set for the week of Nov. 7, 2013.

Unlike his famous stadium crusades over the past six decades, Graham is asking Christians to invite family, friends and neighbors to their homes to watch the “Living Room Crusade� on their televisions, tablets or smartphones as part of a massive grassroots effort to ignite a spiritual awakening in North America.

In what is expected to be the largest undertaking in its 60-plus year history, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association hopes to mobilize millions of Christians to register as host “Matthews� at www.myhopewithbillygraham.org and undergo training to learn how to share their faith with others.

“We have seen God visit our nation in powerful and transformational ways in the past,� Preston Parrish, vice president of “My Hope with Billy Graham,� told WND.com. “We are praying this will be a real moment of revival and awakening and transformation across our nation.�

This is only a small part of the article. I recommend that you read all of it. Here is one part that I think is important.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the author of the New York Times bestselling book, “The Harbinger – The Ancient Mystery that holds the Secret of America’s Future,� says the fact Graham released the letter at “this point in his life� and “at this moment in America is very significant.�

“Billy Graham has been a pastor to presidents and the most famous evangelist in the world for the past several generations. For such a word to come from such a voice is stunning,� says Cahn, the senior rabbi at the nation’s largest messianic congregation, the Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, N.J. “He is giving the nation a prophetic warning.�

“His words match the overall message and call of ‘The Harbinger,’ that America is in rapid departure from God and His ways – that it now stands in danger of judgment and the signs that appeared in judgment of Israel are now reappearing on American soil. And yet no matter how dark it gets, there is still hope for mercy and room for redemption, but that redemption can only come through the repentance and prayers of God’s people.

“The other thing that’s striking about Billy Graham’s warning is that it comes at the same time when believers across the nation are sensing this very same thing and when leaders are increasingly calling for prayer and intercession for America. ‘The Harbinger’ ends with a call for prayer, repentance, and revival among God’s people. That all these things are converging at the same time is significant.�

In fact, the most in-demand Christian video around today is “Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,� the video that explains the message from “The Harbinger.�
The book mentioned here, The Harbinger, points out many parallels between America today and Israel in its last days before its conquest by Assyria. Even if you aren't American this book could be helpful to you because what it reveals about God's judgment applies to all nations.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.
Romans 1:20 ESV
