Constantly quoted OT passages about God creating the heavens and at times posting warnings in the sky.

He posted a long lecture on blood moons and their meaning on youtube. May still be there.

Gary Stearman posts videos on youtube.

Many appear o Jim Bakker show.

Frankly they're much more impressive on tv (TBN, etc) than on internet.

They're as wld-eyed as 'experts' on Ancient Aliens shows.

Some go into Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelations while others just point out how US is acting vs God's will and will be punished as foretold in the Bible. Jack van Impe (v aged and ill now), Hal !indsey, and the Evangelicals' favorite, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, are exmples of the latter type.

If you're curious, watch Cahn's youtubd video about his book The Harbinger, which describes how 9/11 replicates God's words to the Israelites in the OT. Cahn has apparently lectured groips of congress people in DC on his theories.
