He is famed and sought-after for his Chritian scripture-based [[prophecy]].  In his 1983 book ''The Rapture'' he recounts that in 1956 during a period of religious doubt he participated in a meeting with Jack Blackwell, then a young minster, who discussed biblical [[prophecy]].  He soon became convinced that current events are governed by the will of [[God]] in ways that interlock with biblical scriptue. <ref> ''Twentieth-Century Shapers of American Popular Religion'', Charles H.
