“An American Evangelical pastor has claimed that the invasion of Ukraine is a sign from God that Jesus is returning.
Pastor Greg Laurie is a pastor at the Harvest Christian Fellowship church in California and made his views known in a clip posted on Facebook, captioned: “Is there any prophetic significance to what is happening in Ukraine right now and other events that are unfolding around the world? The answer is. . Yes!”

When war breaks out normal folks bemoan humankind’s inability to resolve their conflicts via diplomacy, but evangelicals cream their pants in ecstasy whenever a major conflict breaks out.
Read my essay about how Pat Robertson, the 91-year-old televangelist who looks like he’s been dead for years, suddenly became animated when Russia invaded Ukraine
Laurie quoted scripture saying, “In the last days there’ll be wars and rumors of wars” as an explanation as to why he believes that we are living in the last days.
Since the days of Cain and Able people have resorted to violence to resolve their disputes. There have always been wars and rumors of wars. There has never been an era is human history that was devoid of wars. To be human is to eat, fuck and kill.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine isn’t a sign of the End Times, it’s business as usual for humans who are ruled by their base emotions, ridiculous religious dogma and conspiracy theories.
Evangelicals need to untwist their panties, put down their Bibles and get on the right side of history by supporting the people of Ukraine.
