Colin Morris : 'Given your picture of the approaching Apocalypse - famine, war, pestilence and death -where in all that does anyone see a loving God?' Billy Graham : '... it's not my picture. It's Jesus unveiling what we believe to be the future.'
Billy Graham 's apocalyptic beliefs are based on the Revelation of St John the Divine in The New Testament. He claims that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now 'nearer than ever before' and warns that we ignore the signs of 'the end of the age' at our peril.
