Is World War III closer than we think? In this episode of The Greg Laurie Podcast, Pastor Greg dives headfirst into the prophetic significance of today’s global events, focusing on the escalating conflict in the Middle East and its surprising alignment with ancient biblical predictions.

Join Pastor Greg Laurie as he unpacks why Jerusalem, not Washington or Moscow, sits at the center of humanity’s ultimate showdown—a truth foretold thousands of years ago. Drawing from Scripture, current headlines, and heartfelt conversations, Greg offers clarity and hope amid rising anxiety and uncertainty. In a special highlight, he’s joined by Marco Rubio, the U.S. Senator and former Secretary of State, who shares insight into confronting fear, the role of faith in turbulent times, and why Christians should face the future with profound confidence: “We know how the story ends.”

Key moments you won’t want to miss include:
Pastor Greg Laurie's powerful perspective on “doom-scrolling” culture and the biblical command to “look up” in hope rather than despair
Marco Rubio's honest discussion of global threats, personal faith, and why prophetic teachings comfort rather than frighten
A clear yet riveting explanation of the rapture, its place in end times prophecy, and the unique destiny of Israel according to both Scripture and history

Whether you’re unsettled by global headlines, curious about Revelation, or simply longing for hope in chaotic times, this conversation offers answers and encouragement for your faith journey.
