That doesn’t mean that we aren’t currently witnessing the fulfillment of Bible prophecies taking place “before our very eyes,” Laurie said, “such as the increasing isolation of the nation Israel.”

Laurie said that one would think that the world would be supporting Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack, which killed over 1,000 people. Two hundred Israelis are still being held as hostages.
“Instead the opposite has happened,” Laurie said, “almost inexplicably, but actually fulfilling Bible prophecy because the Bible says in the last days that Israel would be isolated. She would stand alone so God could step forward and be strong on her behalf.”
The “anarchy” and “the violence in our nation and around the world” are also fulfillments of Bible prophecy, argued Laurie. “But my point is simply this,” Laurie said. “Let’s not major on the minors and get hung up on eclipses and blood moons and ashes of the red heifer.”
Laurie warned people to “just be ready” for Jesus’ return “at any moment.”
“It can happen today, it could happen tomorrow, it could happen 10 years from now,” he said. “We don’t know. No man knows that day or the hour when the Son of Man will return.”
Concluding, Laurie said, “So let’s not get off in these little rabbit trails…and miss the big picture, which is Jesus is coming again.”
The next time a total solar eclipse will be viewable from the U.S. will be on Aug. 23, 2044.
