Why Billy Graham Was a Modern Moses: Anne Graham Lotz Points to Powerful Prophetic Significance of His Death

Mar. 2, 2018 - During Billy Graham's funeral service his evangelist/daughter Anne Graham Lotz said that she believes the date of her father's passing, Feb. 21, 2018, held spiritual significance. When a friend encouraged her to look up the date of his death she discovered that it was the very date that Jews were focusing on reading scripture about how Moses led the people of Israel out of bondage. Her father had also led millions of people out of bondage to sin. She said:

"Could it be that God is going to bring Joshua to lead us into the Promised Land... Heaven and – you know what the New Testament name for Joshua is? It's Jesus... I believe God is saying... Jesus is coming!"

Lotz then read the passage in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 about the Rapture of the Church, when Jesus will return to remove those who have received Him as their savior.

It is a story about the revival that swept through the Eagles camp during the whole season involving the baptism of many members of the team and other stories of spiritual victory. A key influence during the year was the Christian leadership of quarterback Carson Wentz. However, because of an injury, Wentz was not able to play in the Super Bowl.

His backup quarterback Nick Foles led the team to the victory and encouraged his fellow Christians to continue to make faith the focus. Foles said that his faith in Jesus Christ means everything, and that he wants to eventually become a pastor to young people.

"I want to be a pastor in a high school," Foles said on Thursday before the Super Bowl. "It's on my heart. I took a leap of faith last year and signed up to take classes at seminary."
