Greg Laurie on Doom Scrolling, the Antichrist, and the Peace Treaty That Deceives the World

Are we living in the last days? A recent study found that 40% of Americans believe we are—and even non-believers sense something is shifting. In this episode, Greg Laurie opens Luke 21 to look at what Jesus actually said about the end times. Rather than freaking out or doom scrolling, Jesus gave a different instruction: look up. What Greg covers: • Why 25% of the Bible is prophetic—and why that matters now • The timeline: the rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Second Coming • Israel's role in end-times events and why 1948 set the prophetic clock ticking • The difference between personal tribulation and the Great Tribulation • How to live right now: watch and pray, not party or panic • Why Bible prophecy should make us evangelistic, not argumentative Greg also shares how understanding what's ahead brings hope in a hopeless world, comfort to those grieving, and clarity when life stops making sense. If you've never trusted Christ, stay to the end—Greg walks through how to be ready. Subscribe for new episodes of the Greg Laurie Show every week.
