The Last Days | Chris Reed Prophecy, the Last Days, and more! Chris Reed reveals what the Lord has been showing him and shares insight for navigating the rapidly changing times we live in

On Oct. 21, 1984, President Ronald Reagan was asked to give a summation as to why he should be re-elected at the end of his debate with Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. His meandering, unfocused response kicked off speculation that he was suffering from cognitive decline that only intensified in his second term.
