Duane Chapman, better known as the reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter, is suspicious the End Times are upon us and is sharing his concerns in a new interview with The Christian Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m a baby boomer and we’ve heard since the 50s and 60s, ‘Jesus is coming. All the signs have been fulfilled. Before I die, I’ll see Jesus in the cloud.’ Well you’re dead now and you ain’t seen nothing,\u201d Chapman said in the interview.<\/p>\n

He further said that today’s youth are the “last generation”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe disciples went to Jesus and said, ‘Listen, you got to tell us when you’re coming back. We got to know.’ And Jesus said, ‘Listen to me, nobody knows.’ ‘Oh, come on, Lord. You’ve got to give us a hint or something.’ And Jesus said, ‘Listen, even the angels don’t know … Let me tell you, there are signs.\u2019 I’ll give you some hints, in other words. So He said, \u2018The last hint is this. Knowledge shall abound,’\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus epidemic has been predicted by many to be a sign of the impending End Times. Chapman agrees and is afraid that other Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled as well. He believes that Americans are particularly susceptible to the mark of the beast, which is written about in Revelation 13.<\/p>\n

“What else happens when the last sign has been fulfilled? This hasn’t been too long that the internet and Google have been out and it’s all over the world. So [the Bible] talks about the pandemics that are going to come, and it talks about fear, that it’ll be driven by fear. I know countries that go, ‘Those Americans are so scared they get flu shots,’\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dog the Bounty Hunter said that COVID-19 is being spread “on purpose” and that it was made to target “the weak”.<\/p>\n

“The Bible says all these things are going to start happening. It was really hard for us to believe that you can receive the 666, the mark of the beast. Ain’t no way the government can make you do it. Oh yeah? They’re making you wear masks,\u201d Chapman said. \u201cSo that’s the beginning, setting the stage to the real thing, the mark of the beast.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time that Dog the Bounty Hunter has shared God with others. He’s outspoken with many of his fans and encourages them to find Jesus. Check out this speech he gave at a church a few years ago.<\/p>\n
