—Billy Graham: Even this venerable preacher began telling us in the 1930’s to expect the soon return of Christ.

Graham was born in 1918 and didn't become a pastor until 1943. His fame began with revival meetings in 1949. I'm sure the recent emergence of a New World Order (UN, Cold War, etc.) and the restoration of Israel as a nation in 1948 prompted (correctly, I might add) many evangelical leaders like Graham to conclude a new era had begun and that Jesus Christ would soon return. No one knows the day or hour of His coming (Matthew 24:36) but there will be signs to indicate it is near. When will this take place? It could be tomorrow, 100 years or more.
