At the end of the month, Glenn Beck will be hosting an event in Birmingham, Alabama, called “Never Again Is Now,” which is being organized for … well, we’re not exactly sure. Initially created in response to the brutal persecution by ISIS of Christians in the Middle East, it has since morphed into some vague “Restoring Unity” gathering and march that will feature a variety of Religious Right activists mobilizing to save this country, especially in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent gay marriage ruling.
On his radio program this morning, Beck revealed that this gathering is actually the fulfillment of a prophecy given to Christian leaders in Birmingham during the Civil Right Movement of the 1960s and will unleash this nation’s Third Great Awakening.
“I want to talk to you a little bit [about] the prophecy given to the people of Birmingham during the 1960s,” Beck said, “that Birmingham would heal and then, in time, it would be the city that began the Third Great Awakening.”
“There is a prophecy, I guess, given to the churches in Birmingham, Alabama, back in the 1960s or early 1970s, as that city is burning itself down, that it would come together and it would heal and then, later, it would be the starting place of the Third Great Awakening,” he continued, later in the program. “I think that’s what is happening.”
The First Great Awakening “led to American Revolution,” Beck explained, while the Second Great Awakening brought an end to slavery in America. Now is the time for a Third Great Awakening that will “proclaim liberty throughout the land,” and Beck’s 8/28 event is the catalyst that will bring it about.
