Billboards: Jesus is coming -- in May

Associated Press reporter Timberly Ross reports:

A Christian group is proclaiming Jesus' return in billboards going up in Omaha, Neb., and other U.S. cities for the holiday season.

Allison Warden, of We Can Know, says an analysis of Scripture shows Jesus will come on May 21. She says the billboards showing three wise men following the star of Bethlehem are meant to spur the public's interest in the Bible, not frighten anyone.

Warden says the billboards have gone up in Omaha and Nashville, Tenn. She says they're also going up in Atlanta, Bridgeport, Conn.; Detroit; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Kansas City, Mo.; Little Rock, Ark.; Louisville, Ky.; and St. Louis. They'll be up for December.

We Can Know offers resources to learn about the coming of Jesus and the end of days through its website, wecanknow.com.

My mom's eighty-seventh birthday. How nice.

At virginiabeachchurch we believe the teachings of Christ. We don't know when Christ will come. We were told that false statements will be made on when He returns...they are just that...false. The truth is we will never know untl that day comes.

May works great for me. He can stay with me if he likes, there's plenty of room. I'll start saving my empty wine bottles and filling them with water.

maybe he and the roman's will forgive and forget about that whole being nailed on a cross thing and let the healing process began .

All you delusionalists who are planning to be raptured away, can I have your car when it happens?

Littel since it appears no one who has posted a response here believes "We Can Know" don't hold off any auto purchases waiting.
