I think the pastor has astrology confused with Christianity.
+1.

One of these days we will be right said the guy with the sign.
That's what I thought, too. Does this mean he's given up preaching his prosperity gospel, or if you buy his book, will you be safe from this impending doom?
Yeah. I wish some of these Christians would grow up. This type of wild-eyed, head swiveling, tongue hanging out hysteria does nothing but cry wolf and waste energy.
Jesus and the apostles made it plain, the end times will be a long wild ride, and it will not be fun. Best to take the long view and hunker down, not chase every little this or that which might be some kind of ‘sign’.
I would suggest "Witness of the Stars" by E. W. Bullinger. It can be bought for Kindle at .99. Bullinger was a biblical scholar in the 1800's who takes the position that the stars are telling the biblical story and uses scripture to compare. Interesting read even if you don't buy the premise.
Then so does the Divine Author of the Bible. Numerous passages reference events in the heavens, and not necessarily astronomical ones.
