Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson: “I believe we need Christian men and women in office today more than ever before. ... In the last few years, no more than ever before in the history of the church, we see the end times.” https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Secretary Watson made the declaration that the "end times" are here and Mississippi needs more Christian leaders during the National Day of Prayer event in Jackson.

Secretary Watson prayed that the country’s Catholic president, Joe Biden, and its Baptist vice president, Kamala Harris, would "turn their hearts to (God)."
"It is very important that we have men and women of Christian character in office,” he said. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/

Today's prayer event included leaders from each of what the evangelical group calls “the seven centers of power” it wants to influence: government, military, media and arts, business and commerce, education, church and family. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
The group borrows from the New Apostolic Reformation movement’s “7 mountains mandate” theology, which teaches that God has begun “raising up” Christian apostles & prophets to take dominion over the “7 mountains” of political and cultural influence. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Pastor Jennifer Biard told attendees that she was there to “pray for the cultural mountain of education.”
“Father, use our prayer today that our schools, our colleges and universities may become centers for revival," she prayed. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/

Patti Herrington, the Mississippi Day of Prayer’s capitol coordinator, used her time on stage at today’s events to pray for two nations, starting with the United States, which she claimed “was built on a solid foundation of righteousness and justice.” https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Mississippi Commissioner of Commerce and Agriculture Andy Gipson, who was present to represent the "business sphere," clapped and nodded as one of the leaders prayed for Israeli Jews to convert to Christianity. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Herrington: “We pray for a spiritual, supernatural awakening over Israel, oh God. Lord, remove the veil over the eyes of your people, oh God, in Israel, that they would recognize the Messiah, oh God, that they would recognize Jesus, their king." https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Commissioner Gipson asked God to bless Mississippi commerce "in the name above every name, the name before which one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God the father." https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
Commissioner Gipson apologized to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians for centuries of genocide, calling them "the original people of Mississippi."
"if anyone deserves an apology, it is the Native American people of this country,” he said. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/

After Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Chief Cyrus Ben offered a prayer in the Choctaw language, Secretary of State Watson made a joke about speaking in tongues.
“Chief, I wasn’t sure if that was the Holy Spirit or the Choctaw language,” he said. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/

In the 1980s, then-President Ronald Reagan explained that he called the Soviet Union an “evil empire” because he believed Russia would help trigger Armageddon.
During the Cold War, Reagan claimed "prophecies are coming together" like "never" before. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/

Secretary of State Michael Watson today: “You look around you, see what’s happening in this country, in this world, you can’t deny what’s going on. So at this point in time, it is so very important that we have men & women of Christian character in office." https://www.mississippifreepress.org/11852/the-end-times-are-here-mississippi-elections-chief-says-calling-for-christian-leaders-to-heed-the-signs/
