Boy Preacher Called To Warn America
March 26, 2011 2 Comments
When most boys are immersed in video games, school, and sports, Rankin Poage from Rancho Santa Fe is spending his time sharing biblical prophecy with adults.
Poage’s interest in the last days sparked when he shared a book report to his class based on a book by Pastor John Hagee on prophecy. The boy stated that the recent earthquakes that devastated Japan and New Zealand are signs that indicate that Christ’s return is near.
Dran Reese, director of the Salt & Light Council, explains that hearing Poage speak on prophecy was like hearing an educated college student.
“He’s really a rare combination of both intelligence and innocence, and it was really very endearing – and really. we were all amazed at his profound knowledge and his ability to tackle a subject so thick about prophecy,” says Reese.
Poage says he preaches prophecy to warn those who are unaware of Christ’s soon return, and Reese points out that God will use the unlikely and weak vessels to bring his message to the people. She notes that Poage’s stance on biblical prophecy is scripturally correct.
The director comments: “At his age, he’s already seeing the writing on the wall for America, and wants to go out to warn people — what they can do, what they should do, and what they should be looking for — what are those signs, and about preaching the Word of Jesus Christ and of salvation to those who still are very lost.”
